Chapter 2

The Grand Performance-The Grand Deception-The grand performance is a phrase
Zanzar uses to intentionally muddy the waters and cause confusion in those
around him. This is a large part of his charismatic lies and where his silver
tongue comes in best. He says it is many things, ultimately he will use it as
a carrot on a stick for many to look forward to some grand event...that will
never come. Zanzar himself is the Grand Performance, and bettering himself,
his position in the Empire or with the gods, or seeing his foes brought low
are all technically part of the grand performance, as it furthers his
reputation and fame. Zanzar wishes to live in infamy or fame, but he will be
remembered forever.

The Blood Tax-Zanzar is extremely self centered, unless it is his duty by
imperial law to lift a finger to assist, he will not likely do so without
there being a self benefit there. His desire is to stand out in the blade
sect, not below the other sects. He pays for favor when he needs it and he
expects the same. Zanzar often offers the indifferent, gnome or otherwise that
would not typically be given the bloodoath a blood tax, a sacrifice to him and
the Empire of flesh to show their goodwill moving forward. Any who refuse it
are hunted anyways and the blood tax is taken either way. Zanzar uses this to
assert dominance over his peers and show that persuasion can often be a better
tool than brute force. By talking people into their own demise, Zanzar has
forged the ultimate control over his subject and will maintain a dominance
over them his whole life.
