The most common thing I hear from lords past their first year is that there is nothing left.
Prestige is the one score that never falls, which makes it the only honest answer to 'how far along am I'. Power is a snapshot a bad night halves.
A chain shows you one step and never a denominator, and at this altitude that is a mercy rather than a coyness.
Finishing the book is not finishing the game.
