RoleChapter 12 Mildly maniacal machinations(1/2) Added Sun Nov 5 13:43:42 2023 at level 51:Few things truly bring me satisfaction in life, dear reader. There is momentary delight at the harvesting of a potent soul, but it is ever overshadowed by the knowing of what lingers behind and ahead on the path. That dread robs the joy from much that might otherwise bring it, and it is a thing I have grown to accept.
But watching the jaws of the vice close about Sandborn day by day is certainly one of those few things which can rouse that rare emotion in me. You see, dear reader, there is a thing about the rule of violent men and women. Subjects will suffer much beneath an iron fist, but they will suffer it with resentment if they do not believe the ruler is deserving of their obedience. And resentment is a weapon I am all too happy to sharpen in this endeavour.
It is better to be feared than loved, but it is better to be loved than hated; and Sandborn is neither feared to any great degree or loved at all by his citizenry. Meanwhile, the blades love me. Both elites seek me out and at great length, and these are bonds I shall only strengthen. A gift here. A kind word there. All minor inconveniences, and they are what will bind the next War Master to me even as I poison the well from which Sandborn will think to drink.
The divines? A more difficult proposition in some ways, for blades are simple creatures at heart. They speak the language of violence, and it is a tongue I know well. My endeavours into faith have been less successful, and so I must ever tread with care. However, my relationships with the rising stars of the divine sect are strong bar for one shaman, and I will see that one falter and fail without great issue. One young divine has even offered overt alliance, and while this is truly promising, it must be taken in the knowledge that said divine may never amount to anything.
The shadow is a coin toss at this juncture. The Shadow Lord is one who I gave the oath to, and I suspect he will remember me fondly. Yet I have not seen much of him as is the way with shadows, so I must take opportunities as they arise to strengthen this relationship.
And so we come to the black.
I consider myself a good judge of character, dear reader; how could I not be, when I am so gifted at everything else? The Dread Lord clearly values me, but his efforts to strengthen our relationship clearly transpired after his ascension. Now, of course this could simply be that he no longer considers me a potential adversary for his ambitions. Impossible, of course. He will know that I covet his position, and so his efforts to placate my ambitions are evident.
But the Dread Lord has nothing to fear. Oh no. I have something else in mind for him, after all; for why alienate such a useful ally when his ambitions for now can only be benefitted by my own. When the time is right, I will nudge him to take the throne.
