Role

Chapter 10

The Empire has disappointed for too long. So many years of recruiting,
training citizens to become great blades, blacks, shadows and divine. But in
the end, they all disappoint, they can not overcome their inherent weaknesses
and all too often take their own lives.The experiment is over, darkness
combined with order while having great potential, falters under the weakness
of mortals. The memory of my own human weakness should have been a warning
that none could ever live up to the standard of my immense power. As such I
have carried the Empire too long and so enough is enough. I ended my reign.

Now that I have had time to reflect I have taken an interest in the Grinning
Skulls.During my war with the Fortress I found some of the orcs to be quite
useful. I remember thinking how I wished I had Blades that could fight with
same ferocity. I took it as a sign that I have always been able to raise the
pale carrion ogre from the Skulls Graveyard. That there may be a deeper
connection to that place than I had previously considered. I have decided
to Gift the Grinning Skulls with my presence. I will help the orcs out and
in return they can contribute to my minion army. They certainly are
interesting creatures and seem to not possess much of the weakness of the
other mortal races. But how get Tremblefist to respect my greatness, for he
is accustomed to looking towards orcs alone.
