Chapter 7

Ambition in the Divine Sect
Ambition is one of the driving forces that led
Nererial to the surface, and it drives him still.

Whilst he can give the impression of humility,
inside, he is not a humble person (part of the
reason for calling the Blood Reckoning when the
Black made demands on him). He thirsts for more
power, and watches those higher in the Priesthood
with envy. Indeed, he envies the Empress as well, but
he does not know if he is suited for such yet.

He desires higher rank to wield greater influence. To
lead the Empire, and guide them towards the Truth of
his own religion. If he should become enriched in the
process, well, it is only fitting that the Priesthood
should enjoy the trappings of power in return for
their efforts.

As a separate matter, Nererial is slightly irritated by
the tendency of the Blades to take his glory. For days
he has battled against the village giant guard, only to
have a Blade run in and claim the glory at the last.

It may be that soon, he will demand their presence from
the start, or refuse them the glory they seek.
