>>5536488You rest, recovering from your day’s ordeals and meditating to clear your mind and refresh your spirit for the journey ahead. You take your torpor alone this evening, rather than with the Novice (as is your usual way) or in Glowie’s chamber (an occasional treat for the insect matriarch, but one which fills you with mixed feelings right now).
The next day, you set out for your first ‘home’, if ever it could truly be called that: the northern forward base of the Reptilian Master Race’s infiltration and subversion operation, where the Novice’s Chaplain father reigns as local hegemon. Your mission is twofold: preach your New World Order to the lowborn and lesser Reptilians that they might understand the new Age of Darkness and Love, and to convince the Serpent priesthood of its wisdom that they might officially proclaim Bloodrise a new Dark Kingdom and ratify your kingship thereof.
You spent the morning finalizing your party for this auspicious return. Some should remain behind to maintain order and good governance in your absence. Others are necessary to lead your troops in their campaign to subjugate or slay all dwarves in Bloodrise who will not submit to your reign and follow your faith. But you cannot journey alone—or, at least, you never have before, and allies would be valuable to communicate your successes and help legitimize your movement.
