Role

Chapter 4

The High Priest shifted upcomfortably before his desk, for
a number of things preyed on his mind. He was unsure as
to whether the Empire was true to its cause, or was being
subverted. Whether even he was partly responsible!

An orc bearing Zurcon's mark was accepted by the citizens,
rather than recognised as a foe. Indeed, even the Empress
(damn her for her immortality) consorts with the orc, more
than many. But it goes further. Those of chaos are tolerated,
without being forced to prove their loyalty. Nererial
fears that the Empire is taking the easy path, and the
easy path is usually the one to the spider's web, as they
said back in Teth Azaleth.

He has sought guidance from his Lord, but to little avail,
for only silence has reigned in the temple. Perhaps one more
prayer would not be misplaced.
