Now what's that supposed to mean
Only problem is they view themselves as above our laws. "Why should they follow the laws of mortals whose lifespans are basically a short nap?" was how DP put their view, IIRC.
If they don't respect our laws in our land, see 'breaking the law'.Only problem is they view themselves as above our laws. "Why should they follow the laws of mortals whose lifespans are basically a short nap?" was how DP put their view, IIRC.
Huh... that would be politically rather expedient for us... Then we can split the Arbor from Oldtown without leaving it too weak and vulnerable due to it's ties to the Iron Isles and the latter could benefit greatly from the economic power of the Arbor.Somewhat to your surprise Horas Redwyne had taken very well to Asha, listening raptly to her only slightly embellished tales of sailing and exploration. From the way his cheeks flames you would guess he might have even taken a bit of a shine to the young Ironborn woman so very different from the ladies of the Reach he had grown up around. Not the worst way he could have taken meeting her all things considered, though it might be a touch awkward to explain to Paxton if anything more than infatuation comes of it.
[POLITICAL SHIPPING INTENSIFIES]For the first of those two courses you had chosen poached bream with lemon and herbs, a local dish one might easily find on the table to even well-off merchants, though the vintage of Arbor Gold is certainly not of any common year. You had meant it as a compliment to Horas, though he hardly seems to taste the wine as he chats with Asha.
Maester: "That's Targ contraband!"Not that it does not work to your advantage in this case. A few hints that you are displeased with rumors of disturbances in Oldtown as well as a handful of carefully calculated barbs thrown at he Citadel has him recounting everything he heard on the matter. "The damn Maesters got to wagging their tongues about 'magical contraband'. I had not thought much of it until I got here and saw what they ere selling in the bazaars. Of course the Lantern Bearers would be looking to get better tools. What fighting man doesn't?"
"They have knees. What remains to be seen is if they have the good sense to use them appropriately."Lord Tarly's lips thin as he seems almost to chew on a question before speaking it. "What do you think of the fey, Highness? What aught to be done with them?"

I'm well aware of why they think the way they do. The fact of the matter is that it's a problem for us, and we need to get them to obey our laws while in our territory. I still don't know how to convince them, but that's where we're at."Because our lifespan isn't one, and we'll make an example of you if you defy us."
Just a touch to racist to get a funny from me, have an informative."They have knees. What remains to be seen is if they have the good sense to use them appropriately."
I don't see how that is racist. I would bring this very same line about... pretty much everyone who hasn't bent the knee to us already.Just a touch to racist to get a funny from me, have an informative.
No.... ehm. We did ask our Valyrian Steel summons whether they want to defect before using them, right?
egoo, stop it with the speciesm! We accept anyone regardless of race if he accepts and follows our laws. For lawbreakers, there's the Fungus Forge and the Weirwoods.

Mmmm. Aboleths are pretty cool...I don't see how that is racist. I would bring this very same line about... pretty much everyone who hasn't bent the knee to us already.
Heck, I would hire Aboleths if they were willing to accept our authority and behave themselves.
I mean I have played d&d before good aboleths are a thing they are just super rare.I don't see how that is racist. I would bring this very same line about... pretty much everyone who hasn't bent the knee to us already.

If you ask this thing to swear fealty to you, it's probably not going to even understand what your asking.
And if it does, its going to wonder why it should listen to you if your going to be far away in a castle.
Especially when the village gaurdsman with steel toed boots twice the size of their entire body is right there.
To say nothing of dryads.
Asking something that has the interests of a literal tree to swear fealty to us. Good lord.
It would do well to follow what the guy with those boots says?Especially when the village gaurdsman with steel toed boots twice the size of their entire body is right there.
Worked for the Rhaella.Asking something that has the interests of a literal tree to swear fealty to us. Good lord.
Mmmm. Aboleths are pretty cool...
Expressing a willingness to carry out genocide against an entire creature type over a point a significant chunk of the population won't understand comes off as insensitive.
I think you are lumping me together with the blind Fae hate-group in the thread. I for one greatly appreciate our Fey minions and would love to get more of them.Saying "were going to wipe out the fae" is as dumb as saying "were going to wipe out invertebrates".
Same thing with the hole "bend the knee" nonsense.
Rhaella is a hell of a lot more powerful and invested in the world than a regular dryad.
We do, however, need to get them to agree to follow our laws while in our territory. One way or another it's going to happen. I'd prefer a non-violent solution here if only because we'd be bleeding strength before the Long Night, but it's probably not going to work out that way.Rhaella is a hell of a lot more powerful and invested in the world than a regular dryad.
It also helps that what she wants to do works for us.
We don't need to go turn over every toadstool in the woods and personally threaten every grig with death by wildfire.
