Becoming a Cult Leader (Sith Inquisitor part 4)


Search for the lost artifacts of Tulak Hord leads Aniya into the slums of Nar Shaddaa, where the Sith Lord Paladius has set up his cult. Aniya prepares to remove his power base, but what kind of prophet can she be?

(Aniya's comments and more bellow the cut)

From Aniya's diary...


Nar Shaddaa is fabulous! All those lights, all the people! It's so easy to get lost here and I'd love to do just that.
I went shopping for the first time in my life and enjoyed every minute of it! The monster grumbled, but I asked it if it would rather have me wear my old slave garments and that shut it up. 
I tried on everything and really wanted to buy all those pretty dresses, but with my luck I'm probably gonna end up crawling through the sewers somewhere. So something practical it is. And one dress, just because.

Just when I was thinking I really stick out like a sore thumb in my fancy new outfit, I found out I'm supposed to perform a miracle. A fake one, but still. I guess fitting in isn't really the point of this exercise and I don't have to feel bad after all.
I want to help these people. I have a picture of what their lives must be like and being preyed on and oppressed by a fat scumbag of a Sith lord is really not fair. But I have no idea what to actually tell them when they ask. None of the Sith bullshit, sure, but I have no vision of my own, except maybe "don't be like the Sith". And that stuff about forgiving... I don't even know where I got it myself.

My lord,

I'm happy to report that your cult is positively thriving! People are still talking about that little "display of power" we rigged, and we're seeing a steady stream of new converts.

Destris is a natural leader: strong, willful, reassuring. Still, he can be a bit... overbearing at times. Seems awfully eager to flaunt his new authority. Let's hope he didn't pick up any bad habits from Lord Paladius.

That crazy ghost again. He may think he's my grandpa or something, but doesn't he have anyone else to haunt? And his obsession with Darth Zash betraying me is just rubbish. I'll try to get his stupid mask, but only to shut him up. I don't like the idea of an insane ghost getting in my bedroom whenever he feels like it.
As for Darth Zash... she was the first person ever to be nice to me and of course she's not going to kill me, but... all right, I know it's normal to have more apprentices, but what if she likes the new ones more?
