I still want Huntsmen Fey.
They can be a special branch of the Inquisition who goes out and kills whatever needs killing.
Their minions could be the Slayer Rangers TNE thought up a few thousand pages ago.

I wonder why he didn't.
Aren't a good number of our SD-guardsmen still the old guard back from the pirate days?
I'm sure provoking a drunk noble into throwing the first punch is relativly easy for those people.

This basically.^
Delegation will work just fine if we can bend the major courts. After that it's just a painful and awkward adjustment period for men and fae Fae as they feel out the new boundries.
It's just everyone's screaming about piping wildfire into the faewild rather than actually trying to come up with a reasonable solution.
Edit:
You are correct @Azel. I apologize.
I overreacted.

That could actually be a very helpful marriage, especially for Asha. Horas gets to marry an LP, even if she's an ironborn, and Asha gets an in with the second great naval power in the Sunset Sea.

Asha might even be amenable to it given how much it would help secure her reign.
Something which has not escaped Asha's notice, Viserys suspects.

Well, first of all, everyone? You know exactly who's shouting that, and they react the same way to practically every easily hatable enemy.

Because if they don't follow the law, then we are making sure their remaining lifespan, is even shorter than even a goblins.
Do that enough, and even the arrogance of the Fey, should comprehend the idea of actions having consequences, and it's not like the old gods and Yss can't always use more food.

And I'm still here wondering why anyone would want to rule the Iron Islands when she can have a good ship, a good crew and a multiverse to plunder instead.
Though I'm wondering the same about everyone trying to rule, but those islands suck more than most places to govern.

Probably because it's her birthright.
It might be a crappy bunch of islands, but it's hers, and her people live there.
Besides, at the end of the day she'll pretty much always be a pirate queen. I fully anticipate her building up an Iron Fleet for us to use throughout Prime Material.

[X] Plan Equal Opportunity Overlord
-[X] "You might as well ask me what aught to be done with Westerosi or Essosi. They are not a monolithic force united under a single banner and purpose, so I have no sweeping plans for all of them, just as I don't treat every Westerosi as a traitor to my house or every Essosi as a slaver." // First thing first, clearing up this "The Fey" lumping by making it clear to him that he should be very fucking grateful that we are not in the habit of making sweeping generalizations. See show-canon Dany for what that would mean for him.
-[X] "Of the Fey and their courts I've met so far, I've seen great differences in character and desires. From genuine well-meaning and honor right down to cruelty worthy of a pit-spawn, I've met them all, and as much as they are different from each other, so should our relationship to them be. I for one are quite glad to have the aid of some Fey, such as the Bulabar who are still the most important part of the cities engineering guild and so far I never heard complaints about the proprietors of the Golden Hearth." // Fey can be good. He should have noticed the nice Fey around SD, even if he wasn't here all that long.
-[X]
-[X] "However, I think you are mostly asking about the court of Starry Skies that the Tyrells have dealings with? As for them, I'm far less positively inclined after my meeting with their representative. It bears remembering that the Fey are fundamentally alien in their mindset, so some caution is always advised when dealing with them." // Lead-in and revealing to him that we've met and were unimpressed. Leave a small pause for some choice insults from Moonsong.
-[X] "What I want to see and what I fight for is peaceful coexistence between man and all other kinds of being, so as long as one keeps the law of the land, I see no reason to reject to someones presence, be they man, Fey, Angel or whatever else. That court though seems to have little regard for the desires of mortals, instead having sought ways to be placed above the law, if not outright to gain dominion over mortal which they would treat akin to cattle or toys. Whatever went though Mace Tyrells head when he began to support that farce I do not know, but I shudder to imagine." // The gist of what we got from the nice lady on the Redwyne ship. And a choice insult for Mace for supporting that insanity.
-[X] "I do not know if a peaceful accord can be reached with that court, but some form of order needs to be established one way or another. If their leadership insists on their unwarranted arrogance, I will have to hatch out said agreement with their underlings instead." // Making it clear that we have no interest in genocide, but pruning undesirable parts is perfectly alright with us.

Eh, same issue I had with Viserys back when it was still optional, I dislike ruling itself and the obligations and responsibilities that come with it.

You are forgetting the boons. Like crafting budgets in the 6 digit range each month or the ability to call down aerial bombardments.

As a ruler, and as one who will presumably take advantage of being part of the Imperium and all economic benefits therein, she will be able to afford a far better ship than whatever she'd get as a standard adventurer.

Would we need that of we stuck to challenging CR appropriate foes?
Standard WBL is perfectly adequate for a group of adventurers.

That's... fair. I... Don't like calling people out, but that usually results in me tarring to wide.
I'll have to consider what I'm doing. Sorry.

What use is a ship it you can't sail it beyond the horizon, it your mind stays anchored in some dingy castle?

She can very easily command whatever fleet she builds in our name. That's what castellans are for. We have an Alinor, she has a Rodrick the Reader.
EDIT: That said, I seriously doubt she hates ruling as much as you do.
But would your foes be content to stay within level guidelines?

My personal opinion on that is that she gets a anti-grav ship as soon as we have a spare one for her.
Moonsong is just too perfect a captain for the rickety prototype, but once we have shaken down the technology, we can design a purpose build raider for Asha to go reaving in the lower planes whenever she feels like it.
