Following in the footsteps of so many other sect leaders, Agorinth became anathema tonight. For those of you who are curious, and to hopefully cut down on the questions in the game, I will tell the story. It began when I was interviewing for empowerment. During the interview I stated that I would become Emperor. Fast forward to rank 51. Tonight, Genofen goes nuts. He started acting like his character was possessed. It was very convincing too. For a while he had everyone convinced that there was a mysterious someone threatening to kill the Emperor over cb. What it turned out to be was Genofen camoing in his wildcat form, reverting, then speaking over cb while still camoed. He almost had us running all over Thera until I told the group that the Emperor had gone mad. It seems Genofen had decided tonight would be the last night for his char. He definitely went out in style. He dies(deletes). I am pretty sure everyone heard the gecho when he cast himself into the abyss. Now, a new Emperor must be crowned. It is obviously between Nebrevata and me. We begin talking, I ask him to support me, he tells me to support him, I refuse. He attacks me..yada yada yada. Imperials are fighting eachother. Its Avroquine, Hevesaque and Nebrevata against Nastrael and myself. I word Hevesaque run to my sect hall and summon Avroquine. The arcane retreat but I know when they return I will not win. So I leave, and being talking to Saison. I offer him a deal. I promised to get rid of all hero tier arcane citizens in exchange for Nebrevata's head. He had first suggested an agreement of some sorts a few days ago. It seemed an ideal time to take advantage of the offer. Things didnt work out to well though. There was a string of centurions in Balator, and Nebrevata saw what was going on in the time it took to get through them. The arcane left. The entire cabal seemed pretty pissed about the deal I had made. I knew Nebrevata's recall, so I headed there. When I got there, I was held. Nastrael who was with me did nothing to help. It seems he did not like what I had done either. My failure was complete. When I refused to back Nebrevata I knew the arcane were stronger then the divine. I knew I had little chance in defeating him. I also knew that as slim as this chance was, it was probably going to be my best chance to take the throne. Which I had to try to do by the promise I made during empowerment. I do not plan on deleting unless I get my powers taken away. But there is a very good chance this will happen. I have to apologize to Nastrael for anathematizing him. OOC I feel pretty bad about it, but IC it didn't make sense not to. In the end I did anathematize myself. One final note. To all the people I fought during my days as a citizen, don't expect me to act too differently. There may be a few, but there will be just that, a few. Everyone else had still better worry about me.
