We should introduce Wyllas to the Orphne court as an example of good human-fey relations.

Sure I could work with that.

[X] A fair deal, and so you shall share what you and yours know about the echo of an Empire that lies now in the Shadow.
-[X] Many things you can answer to this, but no one among yours has better knowledge than Tor.
--[X] Call on Tor, have him explain the geographical (the entrances, the locations of cities, etc), political (who is their ruler, what factions strive for control in there), historical (for all you know a legend, it was no doubt changed by the passing of time), economical (who they trade with and how they function as a trade hub), and other aspects of what once was the Empire of Dawn.
@everyone, this works?
We get some neat exposition, and any further questions we have can be presented as if coming from the Orphne King, @DragonParadox?

You're offering too much. All he asked for was info on the Bloodstone Emperor.
If we're offering more I want to get more. We should keep the bargaining chip, not give it out for free.
@DragonParadox, would the Orphne King be amenable to us asking about a price for getting our shadow back, or at least means of contacting whoever has it?
You would have to ask IC, Viserys does not know for certain, however by the same token he sees no reason why asking would be a problem.

I'm nowhere near being up to wording something that has us trying to get as much info as we can out of Fey.
Nuh-uh.

You could phrase it as something like
-[] We have Tor provide the information to answer his question, as well as a warning about the whole Soul Enslaving thing. We also let him know we have more information available if he desires to trade for it.
Listen, I just want to have a very nice lady and a very loyal Erinyes have a pleasant chat while Richard feels dread and chills crawl up his spine, is that too much to ask?

So do any of you guys have any ideas, on how to capture that ghost as opposed to just sending it on to the afterlife? It's an old and probably powerful mage, personally I very much want it, to recruit if it's not too evil, or to interrogate for magic knowledge if it is.

Lya's soul-drum is the solution to all of anyone's ghost-talking problems
I mean, I assume it would work the same on these shackles as they would on a soul-gem, @DragonParadox?

Okay, sticking with my points for now.
Getting Tor to tell everything from an insider-view is too much for an outside view on the Court of Stars.
If we get more, he can get more too.

@DragonParadox, would there be anything wrong in asking:
1) Would the Orphne Court have another Unravelling?
2) What would the Orphne Court price for directly teaching the knowledge of anti-god wards, how they work, and how to make them?

@Artemis1992, please add asking about Viserys' shadow and its price/location after we complete the exchange of info for Court of Stars.

Trust me, I'm not thrilled about this either, but the fey already know something is up, and while they're thankfully cautious given what they've sensed they'll also eventually poke at it which will be disastrous. At least this way we get to stave off an even bigger headache.
Anyway, added a few things of my own to the vote.
[X] Agree, it is a fair bargain
-[X] Most likely a remnant of the Empire of Dawn, tell him what you know of the history, though make it clear that this history has been distorted by short-lived humans over many millennia, so historical knowledge is not very reliable
-[X] You know they are now Rakshasa, immortal reincarnating fiends, and that they have build a city in a border-region between this world and the plane of shadows.
--[X] These Rakshasa range, as most kinds of fiends do, from lesser creatures to god-like entities.
-[X] Warn him of trying to find out more in too direct ways -- our attempt to summon the most minor kind of fiend for knowledge has still brought us direct attention from their Emperor and a concentrated attempt to rip out our soul. Make very clear the kind of monster the Bloodstone Emperor is.
-[X] If the Orphne Court would like more in-depth information, the Rakshasa we summoned was freed and is now our vassal, and can provide said information for a fair price for a duration of time set by him/as long as he wishes to answer. // It should be clear we're not in any way bargaining away Tor's vassalage, just in case I'm accidentally wandering towards that pitfall.
-[X] Separately, inquire about the price to buy back the piece of your shadow that you sold to the Orphne Court, or if they've sold it off at least the means to contact and bargain with whoever has it now
-[X] Provided Viserys sees nothing wrong in asking, ask if the Orphne would be willing to sell another Unravelling and at what price
--[X] Also ask if the Orphne are willing to bargain to directly teach Lya the nature of their anti-god wards, how they work, and how to make them -- as well as listing the price said bargain would carry

Adding it in now.
EDIT: Added.

"For a duration set by ShadowTor - ie, as long as he wants to answer". No implicit servitude shenanigans, please.
