The Theran Mystique - Volume 1, Issue 8
Memoirs of a Mad Dictator, Second Journal, Entry 1

Issue 7 of the Mystique was released today, it sold quite quickly, and from what feedback I recieved, it was taken as a success. Hopefully my call for Gnomes willing to serve in my army will be responded to, for my army needs good reliable soldiers of all professions, if it's to succeed in my campaign for world domination. I'm quite ecstatic though, as now, the people of Thera can see my goal is not to control, but to guide, to guide Thera into a golden age! Where most giants are extinct save for the more peaceful ones, for giants are what's wrong with the world! All the evil in Thera doesn't amount to the destruction giants can cause, unless, it's evil giants, then the destruction is two-fold! So we'll limit their breeding, and execute the trouble makers, though some will be kept for the purpose of harvesting raw materials. Of course my previous Journal entries have indicated this plan many a times. But other then the persecution and genocide of most giants, the other races of Thera will be treated well, starvation will be wiped out, the homeless put to work, the useless...well, we'll kill the useless people too, they're just a drain on society. Unless they're useless, yet attractive females, then there is no such thing as useless, if you're a attractive female! On a side note, hoping the release of the Mystique will bring forth a large array of questions for the "Ask the Mad Dictator" column.

Memoirs of a Mad Dictator, Second Journal, Entry 2

I awake in Thera, and what do I find? A fell, a abyssal, and a Mystic traitor out for my hide! Well, I do what any true Gnome would do! I go beat the stuffing out of them! That's right! Yours truly, fended off the attempted terror tactics of three Traitors as they did their best to invade my cabal. They ran for the hills, and hid like elves in a forest! And soon, answering my rally call, came two more Heralds, Jerouniset, and one of my faithful soldiers, Nym, and with their aid, and the aid of Fien, we whipped the Traitors into submission, and sent them scurrying far far away, bringing Gbrell to his knees, and that much closer to the final death, not once, but twice! It must be noted Fien was exceptionally useful in this cleansing of Traitors, he's like a dervish! A hasted dervish! Better his attention be on Traitors then on Gnomes. Because if it was on us, we'd have to kill him. And that'd be no fun, mostly because it'd rob us of a potential ally, rather then it'd be difficult.

Today Singolas wished me to help him help a shaman named Kalaumo gain a burning sheath of acid. When asked why we'd go out of our ways to help this shaman, he replied why not. And as far as I'm concerned folks, that's not the normal reasoning of true evil! True evil is being concerned only with their own interests, not helping another out of boredom! The whole situation smelled fishy to me. Or maybe it was just from Singolas being in the sun too long, blech. Regardless, where I'm not selfish, I try not to be overly helpful to strangers, they sometimes tend to take advantage of a fellow, and I'm not one to be taken advantage of! New recruit to the cause, Elanre, seems to be fitting in nicely with the Heralds, will be a valuable asset to our cause I'm sure, hopefully Nym will take a cue from Elanre and be around more often. And hopefully this will be a sign for other Gnomes to step forth and join the swelling ranks of my army, and of the Heralds!
