Dhaezym Viith the Kisser of Divine Feet, Imperial High Priest

Immortal Comments

Role

Chapter 9

Dhaezym at times has been fascinated by death. Once, when he was eight,
an orc was slain on his families grounds. Dhaezym sat with the orc as it
lay dying, silently watching as the light slowly dimmed from its' manic,
blood-stained eyes. Death fascinated him, so much so that he began pursuing
the hobby of medicine. Perhaps once drawn to the study of blood, Dhaezym
instead focused on the mental willpower one needed to stave off infection,
along with finding ways to prolong the bodies fighting off of infections.
Before he could progress further in his studies, he had the teacher slain
for telling Dhaezym that the noblechild could not let a patient die to see
'if he could catch his soul'. Perhaps Dhaezym had heard stories of a
terrible giant of stygian darkness that had laid waste to the Fortress weeks
earlier, perhaps he was just curious. After that incident, Dhaezym's noble
grounds were ravaged by the combined efforts of the wild creatures of the
Refuge and the Dark Mages of the Chasm. Most of his fathers' fortune was
lost and his father himself disappeared again shortly thereafter. Dhaezym,
looking around at the destruction of his toy room, a room that was the size
of a tavern, began to wail uncontrollably. He was nine. It was in that
moment Dhaezym vowed that nothing would ever be taken from him again.

Role

Chapter 8

Dhaezym is a extremely wanting person. His desire to control, to build, to
order has been honed through years of nobility. Above all, Dhaezym seeks
power, for he knows the more power he can get his hands on, the more people
will, as the barbarians say it, 'Kiss his arse.'. It is his goal to build
or join an organization that offers this power, for he has tired of the
game he plays as a nobleman. Eventually, when the time is right, he hopes
to grab all the power for himself, but he realises the value of timing.
He plans to gain acceptance by the Hornet Lord, perhaps enter himself into
bondage with this Dark God, but his desire to become a follower of
Khasotholas is firmly entrenched in his being.

Role

Chapter 7

Born to noble parentage, Dhaezym Utanai Viith lived a pampered life, replete
with simple servants and the finest playthings a child could want. His
parents were a kind-hearted sort, his father a rather dashing nobleman who
had earned his fortune selling ale to several clients, even those as far
away as Seantryn Modan. In his dealing with the local taverns and such,
Gregor Uthral gained a sort of infamy as a router of brigands, knowing their
moves to capture wagons of ale before, it seemed, even they did. Parlaying
his newfound wealth and stature, Gregor joined the ranks of the peacekeepers
of newly built Voralian City, fighting in the defense of the city numerous
times, earning high marks for bravery and military cunning. The Lords of
the Fortress of the Light even named him an honorary captain for his battle
against the onslaught of an orc and zombie horde that had plagued the city.
After these events, Gregor disappeared.

It was theorized that Gregor was captured by cloaked and shadowy mages, or
drawn into service to fight on Kiadana against the vile giants that burned
in the Mountain, or perhaps slaying the legendary five-headed dragon that
lay somewhere in the West. Whatever Gregor was doing in that time, one
thing is certain. The real Gregor Uthral had died over twenty years earlier.

Role

Chapter 6

Dhaezym has mellowed somewhat as he ages. More important than ever to him
is to build up the power of the Empire. He feels compelled to create an
Order, with him in charge of course, to show his Lord Khasotholas of his
devotion. Less prone to outbursts, and strong emotions, Dhaezym has begun
to mature, and become more wise about the ways of the World. He has taken
the oath from a Divine named Garrook, and already has begun to bring many
oaths strength in their guild mainly from Dhaezym's company. However,
Dhaezym has been unable to reach his Lord for over ten years. At times, he
has felt the hand of the Hornet Lord in his actions, and perhaps even
watching over him. The bandits of the Refuge have attempted to set many
traps to slay Dhaezym, but through the Grace of Khasotholas, all but one of
these attempts have been failures. As he ages, Dhaezym will continue to
become more methodical, and more insistant on strengthening the Empire. He
plots for the place of High Priest on a daily basis, even as one as lowly
as an oath. To Dhaezym, it would be tantamount to failing Khasotholas if
he was not one day Emperor, and much of his mechinations will be to that end.

Role

Chapter 5

So it was thus that Dhaezym had all his toys stolen. Eventually, in time,
his father rebuilt the family estate and replaced many of Dhaezym toys.
However, odd tidings often meant his father was gone, dissappeared to some
unknown location. More often than not, in Dhaezym's formative years he was
raised by his mother. A stunning drow woman, she had gained acceptance
among the noble families of Voralian through years of careful manipulation
and deception. She was, along with Dhaezym's father, someone other than who
she claimed to be. There was said that once a rapacious Bandit Queen ruled
the streets of Hamsah Mu'Tazz, but that the dark mistress had disappeared
many years earlier, perhaps to stand by her Patron's side. Whatever the
case, Dhaezym's mother loved him with all her heart. However loveless or
passionate her marriage might have been, she doted on little Dhaezym, buying
him whatever he so desired. It was in this time that nothing seemed to
satisfy Dhaezym. Toys were never enough. Until one day his mother brought
a young duergar child back to the house. Finally blessed with a companion,
who was actually more like a slave, Dhaezym named the child Jerome, and was
soon thereafter almost rendered inseperable from the duergar.

Role

Chapter 4

Dhaezym has found life rather difficult the last few decades. After the
attack visited upon him by the Father of Anger, his demotion was taken with a
grain of salt. Soon thereafter, Dhaezym spoke with his Lord over his concerns
with the Blade Sect and the Lord of Anger. Instructed to walk a dangerous
line with the Father of Anger and the Blade Sect, Dhaezym was once again
elevated through the Imperial ranks. However, after a trio of deaths to the
minions of the Fortress, Dhaezym lost his focus for a brief moment and
attacked the sorceress Rhaika in Hamsah after he had opened a gate to her.
Immediately knowing the error of his ways, Dhaezym punished himself and sought
out the inevitable punishment of his Lord. After being once again cast down to
the ranks of the Bloodoath, Dhaezym began to formulate plans to build his power.
Approaching the two settlements of Dagdan and South Dairein, he made inquiries
into their loyalty. Slowly beginning the accoutrements of diplomacy, Dhaezym
sought to gain their citizens fealty to the Empire, thereby setting up a
a powerful garrison in the Empire. As he plotted to gain his Lord's favor,
Dhaezym's wish was granted, and he once again became a Divine.

It was during this time that many of the Imperials Dhaezym had first battled
with in Empire were taking their own lives, due to the overwhelming legion of
foes seeking their head. Dhaezym himself fell several times to the combined
efforts of villagers and Maran, yet his faith remained. His faith in Empire,
however, began to wane. Seeing incompetance from its' citizens and a lack of
respect a priest and a Divine should receive, Dhaezym let many know of his
wish to deny aid to those who had not proved themselves worthy of Khasotholas's
blessing. He has witnessed a dreadful lack of leadership among all of Empire,
save the War Master Skiltore, whom Dhaezym has a deep amount of respect for, his
being a Blade notwithstanding. Too many of Imperials seem to be focused with just
simply defeating their foes, and show no desire to truly create an 'Order' that
would civilize the World. Dhaezym has yet to truly speak about these concerns
with Khasotholas, fearing his Lord's displeasure. The lack of respect shown
Dhaezym has currently bothered him the most. From his childhood until just
recently, Dhaezym has grown accustomed to giving orders and having them followed.
But of late, many of his fellow Imperials have begun ordering him around, as if
he were some mercenary that they purchased the services of. And not his betters,
those of equal or lesser rank.

Role

Chapter 3

Of most troubling importance, he was cast down once again for his disdain
of the High Priest. Upon being asked to aid a former Divine who had let a
bloodoath break Imperial Law, Dhaezym acquiesced, believing perhaps a bit of
diplomacy might aid in future attempts at the High Priest position or the
Throne, and aided the duergar and another bloodoath in slaying the blacksmith
of Arkham. After the battle had been completed, Dhaezym, being quite a desirer
of baudy and powerful trinkets, asked of the bloodoath thief to hand over his
aquamarine bracelet. The thief complied quickly, earning a knowing look from
Dhaezym and a nod that signified Dhaezym would think highly of him in the future.

Dhaezym then looked at the former Divine Baradisceth, a priest who when a
Divine questioned Dhaezym's methods and sided with the Blades in the following
arguement, he noticed the priest held many rare and legendary items. Instead
of forcing his desire upon the priest and demanding all the items better than
his own, Dhaezym sought to teach the priest of his failure in times past to
properly respect Dhaezym and the Empire by asking for Baradisceth to give to
him an ice-cold brooch. Even willing to give his own servicable cloak to the
bloodoath in a gesture of acknowledgement, Dhaezym was met with obstinance.
Told that the High Priest favored the priest, and would not be happy with the
demand, Dhaezym again requested the brooch, reminding the Oath of his position.
In this moment, the High Priest re-awakened from his slumber, the first time
Dhaezym had seen him in a decade. Dhaezym, expecting greetings from the High
Priest (for they had been contemporaries and rivals for the High Priest spot
before Dhaezym sought to question the Father of Anger) as well as the promotion
he had been promosed and so deserved, Dhaezym was instead met with spite. The
High Priest made haste to Arkham, where he demanded Dhaezym remove and drop all
his belongings to sacrifice to his Lord. All to eager to reply to such a petty
move, Dhaezym did just that. He further questioned the might of the High Priest
when he goaded the High Priest into a faboulous bout of anger, over his being
slain by the Anathema Brulgor. Cast down throughout the ranks oncemore, Dhaezym
waits, eager to pay back those who continue to steal what is rightfully his.

Role

Chapter 2

In one of his many travels to the Inn of the Eternal Star, Dhaezym overheard
something that rocked him to his core. At the time, he was a flegdling priest
of Khasotholas, and not yet a member of the Empire. As he sipped a fine wine,
two fur traders coming from Velkyn Oloth began mentioning a man by the name of
Gregor. Dhaezym eavesdropped carefully, he began to hear a fantastic tale of a
priest of Qaledus who, after stealing a man's identity, went on to secure the
city of Voralian for the thief patron. Hearing many similarities to his own
father's stories, Dhaezym began to search out information about his father
before he was born. In this time, Dhaezym discovered both of his parents to
actually be agents of Qaledus.

After he joined the Empire, Dhaezym sought audience with Qaledus, perhaps to
truly be at peace with his parents mysterious past. It was during a meeting
he had with the Immortal that he learned of a potential child his father may
have had before Dhaezym was born (or perhaps on one of his father's mysterious
disappearances), a man named Ivn. Told this Ivn had gone missing several years
earlier in pursuit of the ricest dwarven horde in the Realms, Dhaezym has began
to make contacts with those skilled in tracking people, as well as those
skilled in traversing the depths. Dhaezym seeks out Ivn for two reasons, to
cement his claim as the firstborn and heir, and to potentially use Ivn and his
find (if there is one) to increase his own power. As well, Dhaezym has
attempted to send out feelers to the various guilds in an attempt to gain their
favor. For if he were Emperor, they would be invaluable.

Role

Chapter 1

Dhaezym is going crazy. Slowly at first, but once he reaches old age
he will have totally lost his mind. He is still competant enough to do
various Priestly things, and works within the Empire quite well except
for brief moments where he feels compelled to do inexplainable things.
Of late, Dhaezym has begun to speak to himself, his need to become
Emperor after Khasotholas's departure created almost a seperate psyche
within himself. He still yearns for His Lord's voice in his ears, however
he has begun to slowly make peace with the fact that now, none
believe his Lord still exists.

But Dhaezym believes shall he get Emperor, Khasotholas will return.
Upon building his 'perfect order' Dhaezym believes that Khasotholas will
return from whatever Plane he is on, and spirit Dhaezym away to
serve him in His Immortality and search for new Worlds to implement
His Hive.

What Dhaezym shall do if he DOES get Emperor, and that does not
transpire is the subject of much debate in the dark recesses of his mind.
