The Theran Mystique - Volume 1, Issue 7

Journal Entry 1
Entry into the Herald cabal was a speedy procedure, one must appreciate
efficiency. Aruncus has now entered the cigar business, producing these
strange smelling cigars which produce the most interesting effects on
ones mind. The idea of making several key persons dependant on the
substances of the cigar would be a great asset for discrediting many
of these same persons. Further exploration must be made into this area.
These same cigars it seems, are also quite effective at expanding ones
trail of thoughts, but it comes with the fault of making concentration
on one specific subject difficult. Therefore these objects shall be
used for personal use only when needing inspiration, they shall be
my muse. If muses were cigars. Yes, yes indeed. Further research into
harnessing lightning through the use of glass containers leads me to
believe that where as these could be used for many effective purposes,
the limiting of one charge per bottle limits the true potency of it all. Now
if one could control the flow release of the lightning from the bottle, it
may be possible to harness these for effective military use. At the very
least a large discharge could be used to superheat heavy metal armor, and
effective for breaking charges of knights, provided the quarrel wasn't so
weighed down as to only have an effective maximum range. Stating such,
this train of thought will be put off until more time and resources are
available to sink into it. I sold one of these "Mystique" articles my new
affiliated organization sells. The ability to publish my thoughts in them
will be quite advantageous into sharing with Therans my thoughts and
plans when I take over Thera, so they are more understanding and trustful
of my rule. Happy followers are hard-working followers, and hard-working
followers produce greater results in faster amounts of time. So I must make
allowances to keep the populace happy when I rule Thera, so as to keep
uprisings to a minimal. This excludes giants of course, who will be shackled
and used for brute force labour as recompense for their years of massacring
my people. The less violent of the giant races, the storm giants, may be allowed
to be overseers of the other two subraces of giants though. Revealing these
plans now has been deemed of little consequence, as it has been determined
most giants are far too idiotic to be able to read. Should someone leak this
information to them, a quick distraction of shiny baubles thrown in the
direction of any rampaging giant should quickly subside their anger.
Which makes me wonder if a trail of shiny baubles was laid so as to lead into
a dragons cave, would it make an effective method of controlling the
giant population? Further investigation into this topic shall have to be
made.
Journal Entry 2
Obtained a staff of storms, and had it enchanted even. It sure
is a piece of work. Now if only I can find a duergar or dwarf
to whack with it. I'll have to make a note to arm my soldiers
with these staffs when I send them to invade the regions controlled
by the dwarves and duergars. Traveled with a squire today also.
Traveled with them until they were quite satisfied with everything
they'd obtained for themselves and I was thoroughly disgruntled at
the lack of things flowing my way. Might just have to order the
fortress of the Knights razed to the ground for this slight against
my person. It is possible the squire started to act unseemly towards
me after I turned down their quite forward advances on my body,
stating how cute I was, and the likes. Of course, they were absolutely
right, for I am rather cute by gnomish standards. All the gnome
maidens say so. I've even been approached by a few elven and half-elven
lasses interested in sharing my companionship. But a future dictator
of Thera can worry about dalliances once he's become dictator, not
before! Perhaps a nasty scar would scare all the women who are
madly in love with me off. It can drive a fellow mad. Must investigate
further into how to repel all these buxom ladies. For the time being
anyways...
