"I am afraid I myself am less than interesting.  I have some ability with my weapon, as well as some minor sorcery, but I am not the stuff of legend other Solars have been.  Most of my recovered memories and Charms lie in dealing with the artifacts and lore of the First Age.  At need, I can create some quite wondrous items with relative ease."<br/><br/>He closed the book that he had been passing his hand over, and set it aside.<br/><br/>"My original plan was voided when I found the Empress had gone missing.  I originally intended to reach the floodgate on the river, and divine its purpose.  I guessed that whatever it was, I could use the control of that to barter with the Nexus council for support against the Realm.  But now, finding the Empress is much greater leverage.  She has been the lynchpin holding the Realm together for years.  Once on the Blessed Isle... well, I am not so sure.  The Empress gained a great deal of power through control of the Defense Grid.  That would be a simple enough task to repeat, and with any luck the borderlands will support me after that.  I think slow, conservative reformation of the Realm would be the safest and least bloody way to convert the 'Immaculate Order' to something a touch less blasphemous."
