Two years later, after Falzrahm's unexpected death and the ascension of her daughter, [[Arshtat Falenas]], Marscal began laying the foundation of his later plans. He secretly reformed Nether Gate shortly after its official dissolution by Arshtat. In fact, he did this with the help of Michafute, whom he took in despite his role in the assassination of his wife. It seems that around this time, Marscal began plotting to take control of Falena as he travelled to the [[northern continent]] and recruited [[Lucretia Merces]] as his strategist. | Two years later, after Falzrahm's unexpected death and the ascension of her daughter, [[Arshtat Falenas]], Marscal began laying the foundation of his later plans.

After the [[Lordlake Uprising]], Marscal imposed as many harsh measures against [[Lordlake]] as he could, including the building of [[Hatred Fortress]], which also functioned as a dam, in order to eliminate any chance of the truth being revealed. | ||
Despite his position as head of the Godwin Faction, it seems that as his son, Gizel, matured, Marscal left much of the actual planning of their schemes to him, preferring instead to offer advice and comment from the sidelines. He often criticised Gizel's methods, regarding them as dangerous and risky. Still, Gizel's machinations which he planned without any goal in mind, did secure the Godwin victory in the [[Sacred Games]] thanks to the use of another former Nether Gate member, [[Childerich]].
