Why would we? He knew about the two dragons, and telling him about devils and undead etc. makes us look concerned and honest. And part of Azema's existence - perhaps she'd like to kept it secret?

I wouldn't deny having an ex-demon in our service, but we should keep Azema specifically quiet maybe, after all we first worked together to cover up how his brother died...

The Pondmaster's statement about being too old to begin a new apprenticeship makes me want to offer him the Reincarnation special.
Not as something that should happen immediately, or any time soon, but merely as a possibility for when he is ready to retire. We can give him a new life and a new identity, no strings attached, so long as he doesn't allow himself to be killed by old age.

@DragonParadox, did we ever give the opportunistic Legionnaires who captured the cultist sacrifices for us their unit-wide bonuses? All of us meant to do that.
I want to offer this to him as well, but I want to do right by him and offer him Cyclic Reincarnation the second we get our hands on that.

The Pondmaster was our first friendly power for a very long time, and has been our ally longer than anyone except a few actual party members.
Offering him Reincarnation isn't quite the same as some random asshole off the street.

Sure, adding that in. That said, I don't see why people are so curious about it. Wizard is strictly better.

I don't want to know the how. Just the what. A basic class discription. If you can make that obvious that we don't seek the means, mearly knowledge of what they can do?

And he's one of the few allies that hasn't made us want to tear our hair out at some point.
It's added in. I can almost promise you that the knowledge will be underwhelming, though.

@DragonParadox, we've got consensus.
You have discussed magical life extension to the Sealord before and his reaction was not positive, pointing out that his position is for life and it is not something he would wish to spend centuries doing.

Now, accepting our version of life extension includes dying. As such, we are offering a new life, not the continuation of an existing one (hello Yss, how's it going with rebirth?).

The offer wouldn't be made to extend his time as Ferrengo Antarion, but to restore his youth and allow him to take his new life down another path, separate from his old life as Pondmaster. If he chooses to work for us, or attend the Scholarium to learn magic, well that would just be a bonus. If not, he would still make a fine Imperial citizen.
You can make the offer certainly, just pointing out what Viserys already knows IC.
Unfortunately It's late enough that I don't feel up to writing an update as complex as the next one is shaping up to be.

Did he just ask which city is next on our list?
@Amrelath, since DP was so specific as to tell us that tge Sealord aants to know about its nature, he probably knows already by Divination and wants to see if we tell him the truth.
Which I have zero problems with either way. He is one of the very few people we know that is trustworthy and level-headed enough to not go into histrionics over random nonsense.

Why? I see no reason why reincarnate/raise dead or any other life extension spell should be any more precious than any other spell of their level. But, it really boils down to how high of a magical world do we want to be creating? I think we passed "middle magic" a while ago, and are already in the "high magic" range, might as well go for broke here. The fact the DP kindly did away with the XP costs for almost all magical item creations did away with one of the limitations in many D&D worlds. Let's just face it..we can keep pretty much anyone we want alive, or young, or bring them back from death, might as well use it as vigorously as we do all our other advantages.

Yes, that is precisely what he politely did not ask, so you you could ignore the question if you wished.

Basically this. All of the reasons we usually hold back with telling the truth to people simply don't apply to the Sealord.
@DragonParadox, would the Sealord be interested in reincarnation after his stint as the Sealord is done? He'd be free of responsibility and the headaches of ruling, and we could give him a great deal if he wants to start up as something else.
He could even study magic if he wanted.
No way to know IC unless you ask him.
