Role

Chapter 19

Viera has reached the final guild title and has become a Fist of Darkness.
Throughout the process, she has had to retrieve the Scepter multiple times,
while dodging enemies all over Thera, ekeing out a kill or two where she
can. Now she is the sole representative of the Chasm, a lone Scion standing
against a horde of enemies. Now begins her journey to Chancellorship, and
to learning the Arcing Touch of Akkabal.

Viera is keen to fill the Chasm with more scholars and allies. But she is
not able to do that until she is the Chancellor. Nevertheless, her
experiences as a child growing up in the Imperial territories taught her
that one has to act like the rank one aspires to. So Viera begins speaking
to promising young candidates for the Chasm.

She has spoken to two pledges, and one potential pledge. The first two are
both Saurian necromancers, one called Anzahr and one called Tloxoa. Of the
two, Anzahr is a bit younger, but from his reports he seemed more capable
of holding his own. Tloxoa reminded Viera a bit too much of poor old
Lamashtua, who had a willing heart but fell so very often she eventually
retired from adventure. Tloxoa would have to prove himself able to handle
the undoubtedly many foes a Scion had, before Viera would approve. As for
Anzahr, she would seek to learn more about him.

As for the potential pledge, it is a dark-elf anti-paladin called Cyash.
Viera will generally watch young dark-hearted magi or priests who are not a
part of the Empire, to potentially groom into a future Scion. Viera does not
know much about Cyash, other than that he expressed interest in the Chasm.
She thinks it is likely he will spend quite a lot of time hunting in order
to build up his weapon or learn to control his weapon.

Being the lone Scion, a special noteworthy person facing down an army of
foes, very much appeals to Viera's vanity. She is the only holder of deep
forbidden secrets, or magics linked to the Shadow Plane. And speaking to
these young would-be scholars from her position of power does very much
suit Viera Brightspell, the famous, smart, and prettiest giant!
