Chapter 16

Finx, The Behemoth Bastard

The Zanzar selected Finx over a very promising fire giant for several reasons.
The first and most crafty reason was to place a Minotaur on the council,
someone the High Priestess would barely stand to tolerate. Repulsive as he
was, Finx was fierce on the battlefield. He comes for war, and comes for
blood. He is fearless, truly fearless in his pursuit of conquest. Finx is of
low intelligence, but his battlefield IQ is far above the normal for his kind.
He is simple, and therefore stays grounded in what is in front of him. He
expects a great deal from his Blades, so he is critical of him. It is unlikely
Zanzar will ever see a blade truly worthy of the title of War Master, as he
felt he was the Grandest ever.

Zrannaiw, the Black Disease

Zanzar knew very little of Zrannaiw. Brought in to the Empire by the Lord
Rillan himself, Zanzar is waiting for him to prove himself worthy of the seat.
Zanzar has only met him once in his life, and hopes to see him more. Many
eager blacks have been bothering Zanzar about seeing him, and Zanzar has noted
the complaints. He does not wish an uprising in a sect, but also wishes to
give the Dreadlord a chance to prove they are as committed to the other blacks
first. He knows that they desire to delve into the ghoul tunnels to become a
mummy. Would they fail, or succeed? Zanzar was unsure, but he knew that most
necromancers ambitions and lust for power grow greatly with the becoming. On
one hand, a undead monster in the Empire would be a useful tool. But three?
That was enough Black sect power to bear down on the Empire, bringing
imbalance to the ranks and possibly pushing the Zanzar out. Dealing with the
black sect is tricky and dangerous, but Zanzar is prepared to navigate his
relationship with the sect the best he can.
