Chapter 2

Being the smartest person in Thera, Malagdin learned the history
of Thera first of all not to repeat a mistakes done by great
people in the past. He was really surprised that Mages of Order
in the past were so disorganizted: at first they created the army
of ragers who easily resisted their own magic, then summoned
demonic creatures whom they couldn't really control and barely
survived themselves. They had no discipline and didn't really
know what planning is. Malagdin will never repeat their mistakes
and every one of his actions is well planned and even better
executed.

Another lesson is what Malagdin has learned is that it's silly
to trust anybody, especially not mages. He views everybody around
him as lesser beings, especially all kinds of priests who cannot
even use magic by themselves and have to ask Gods to help them
doing it. But the irony is that the Emperor right now is a
priest too, a shaman who doesn't even say anything about his God.

This dark-elf bows before Thokran for now and doesn't show his
disgust anyhow because his plans to control Thera will be much
harder to accomplish if he will be made an anathema to the Empire.
Malagdin knows how to hide his own feelings because they are too
dark to let anyone in Thera know about them for now.

While studying the history of Thera Malagdin learned about
all-powerful god Twist. Though this dark-elf doesn't quite
understand how can one be honest with others when he is very
young still and has to serve someone for long time before
becoming a ruler himself. Honesty with others can only lead
to failed plans in such situation. However Malagdin is always
honest with himself when none can see him, he understands that
he was just a little and hard beaten child who wants to become
the tyrant one day to humilate everybody around in a much
worse way than he was humilated himself when he was a child still.
Powerful magic and help of strongest God is what he needs for this.
