[X]
Attempt to summon the familiar Fiend of the Efreeti Sorcerer, one that overtook it's master's empty body and ran from you in Valyria.
-[X] Utilise both it's True Name, and the remaining connection of Efreeti's soul (now a book) to the body (using Yss' curse-staff to pierce the Mindblank/summon effectively)
-[X] To be attempted
around the start of the 11th month.
[X] Proceed with the binding of several Valyrian dragons:
-[X] Meleys the Red Queen - Zherys, Malarys, or Ceria depending on the desires of the three.
-[X] Caraxes the Blood Wyrm - Zherys, Malarys, or Ceria depending on the desires of the three.
[X]
Dany's birthday is coming up this month. You haven't made a habit of
missing them, and you're not going to start that now.
[X]
Have Vee, Lya and Dany help Selyse Drekelis, and give all necessary support to give birth to Garin's child(ren?)
[X]
Make a massive order of Flesh-crafted and Plantforged creatures (needs a vote and discussion)
[X]
Do acts necessary to gain the help of the remaining deities you planned to use against Tiamat (6 total, Yss already contributed):
-[X]
Goddess of The Silver Moon (use up the Favor)
-[X]
Merling King (Sacrifice: Greater Mind Devourer, +more).
-[X]
Jazzirian
-[X]
Weeping Lady of Lys (use up the Favor - needs to be met first)
-[X]
Old Gods
[X]
Ascertain the reliability and the trustworthiness of remaining high-standing mages of Mysterium (the Necromancer, The Fire Caller (Summoner ~7+ level), etc)
-[X] Ensure the
gathering of the magical and non-magical lore gathered by Mysterium as per regular Scholarum rules, as well as swift integration of the existing system into one set by our Empire.
[X]
Collect on the research done by Shaitan Spire of Wisdom, as a first joint research project between your Empires.
-[X] A possibility exists of starting on a new, much more massive joint project - but the price for exotic and difficult research would be
equally exotic lore from our side (Runecrafting, Qyuburn's Undeath research, Saena's draconic fleshcrafting works, etc...)
[X]
Collaborate with Extraplanar Empires in order to further joint understanding of various subjects, magic and common (military) alike:
-[X]
Accept the offer from Djinn Order of Cryomancers to hold lectures in Sorcerer's Deep, paying fairly for the privilege of course.
-[X]
Collect on the lore necessary for training Djinn Auxiliaries (Mystic Rangers) the Captain of Sultan's Bows offered unilaterally but paying fairly for the privilege.
[X]
Have Lya transcribe Battlemagic Perception spell for the Jinn Archmage that helped us against the Efreeti expedition into Valyria.
[X] The collection of lore you gathered is vast indeed... And it's about the time those far from matters supernatural started to profit from it.
-[X]
Share the lore and books from your Library with your Vassals and loyal Westerosi lords.
--[X] Share the following:
--[X]
Canticle of Decay (Daemons)
--[X]
Journals of the Betrayed (Others)
--[X]
In Memory of Death (Undead and Vampires specifically)
--[X]
Reign of Madness (Illithids)
--[X]
The Bitter Cub (Undead)
--[X]
Bestiary of the Bizarre (Magical animals)
--[X] Notes on Devils, Fey, Demons, Rakshasa, and other assorted beasties (roughly equal in bonus to Canticle of Decay)
-[X] Make it
clear for the Westerosi lords, that not only are they to supply their troubleshooters with this knowledge,
but to learn it themselves. In this day and age, nothing
less can be asked from a person in power than to know how to recognize the signs of dangers lurking near them.
[X] Visit Armun Kelisk and Opaljne Vault, searching for any mercenaries, crafters, or teachers who might be willing to join our service.
[X]
Collaborate with Extraplanar Empires in order to further joint understanding of various subjects, magic and common (military) alike:
-[X]
Attempt to set up students' exchange with Shaitan Academy of War (
Warmages, Diviners, Officers, and Engineers),
and the Guild of Shapers (
Magewrights).
-[X]
Attempt to set up students' exchange with Djinn Order of Arcane Seal (
Abjurant Champions)
and Order of Stormweavers (
Stormcasters).
--[X] Both Djinn and Shaitan establishments will possibly require specific arguments - if any arise, refer from Diplomacy corps to Viserys
directly for hashing out an exact deal.
[X] The lore Lya uncovered within the Light of Creation is truly fascinating... and opens many magnificent possibilities. Still, the
first order of business should probably be seeking out similar sources, now knowing what to look for:
-[X] Question the Merling King, perhaps through one of his daughters, if he has such knowledge, and what price would he ask for in return for it.
[X]
When visiting Armun Kelisk and Opaline Vault for wares, try to find rare resources:
-[X]
Entangle Weed
-[X]
Livewood
-[X]
Obaddis Leaf
-[X]
Cassil
-[X]
Djezet
-[X]
Voidglass
-[X]
Mindglass
-[X]
Obdurium
-[X]
Serren
-[X]
Pearlsteel
--[X]
Creatures (bodies are acceptable)
:
---[X]
Roseling
---[X]
Strangle Weed
---[X]
Cassian Angels
---[X]
Choral Angel
[X]
Curse the 2 knowledge-keepers of Asmodeus you summoned last month to the same form their wretched cousin from Summerhall resides in.
-[X] Have them thoroughly investigated for anything that can help the group sent to Slavers' Bay, immediately notifying them if any relevant information comes to light - but also keeping an eye out for any other plots of Fiends they may reveal.
-[X]
To be done at the start of 11th month
[X]
Thoroughly question the Gelugons and the Cornugon of Asmodeus summoned and captured last month.
-[X] Any and all information relevant to the task of the group in Slavers Bay is to be relayed to them immediately- but also search for knowledge of powerful magics, rare resources, or nefarious plots unconnected to Slavers Bay.
-[X]
To be done at the start of the 11th month.
[X]
With the help of Yss, attempt to summon the Advodaza that once slew Thoros and tried to corrupt Westeros through works of Alchemist Guild.
-[X] Have Yss look back into time to the connection Advodaza's summoning amulet once had (6 in 9 chances of succeeding).
-[X] If successful, commence summoning in The Snare, no matter if dead or captured, this thing cannot be allowed to spread it's influence again, as it without a doubt will try.
-[X] To be attempted
around the start of the 11th month.
[X]
Ask Jazzirian if he would be able to cleanse the corrupted Rose's of Heaven without changing them closer to his nature - like we assume
every god would naturally as a part of the process.
[X]
Set up a meeting with either a powerful enough servant or manifestation of Weeping Lady of Lys' power.
-[X] Ask for help against Tiamat, via the empowerment of Well of Souls.
[X]
Visit Red Priests of Volantis.
-[X] Get the
rest of the lore they have, as per Scholarum rules.
[X] Attempt to come in direct contact with R'hlor, seeking out a presence once met before - or inquiring Melisande/Benerro about setting such a meeting up.
-[X] You have questions to him, and a possibility of an alliance (at the moment - mainly against Tiamat, with R'hlor possibly empowering Well of Souls alongside other Gods of the realm - if we can trust him with this, that is) between you exists, but trusting mere priests' word on the matter as delicate as this simply won't do.
[X]
Raise Heart Trees:

Healing Heart Tree (
Panacea, Heart's Ease, Healing Warmth) in:
--[X]
Stepstones:
---[X] Western Disputed Lands
---[X] Southern Disputed Lands

---[X] Eastern Flatlands
--[X]
Greater Pentos:
---[X] Western Flatlands

---[X] Sweetwater
---[X] Morrogos
---[X] Braavosi Coast
--[X]
Greater Volantis:
---[X] Volantis
---[X] Volon Therys
---[X] Orange Shore
---[X] Valysar
---[X] Eastern Disputed Lands
---[X] Selhorys
---[X] Volon Sar
--[X]
Northern Valyria:
---[X] Painted Mountains
-[X]

Positive Energy Aura, Ancestral Gift, Summon Ancestral Guardian) in:
--[X] Nightfort (castle of Nightwatch)
--[X] The Shadow Tower (castle of Nightwatch)
-[X]
Philosopher's Heart Tree (
Discern Lies, Tongues, Wisdom of the Ages) in:
--[X] Naath (Scholarum branch)
--[X] Tyrosh (Scholarum branch)
--[X] Mantarys (Scholarum branch)
--[X] Volantis (Mysterium/Scholarum branch)
--[X] Tolos (Scholarum branch)
-[X]
Total: 26 Tier-3 Hear Trees, the equivalent of 520 CL of items or 1404 HD of sacrifices necessary.
[X] It is long past the time to meet and deal with Faceless Men of Braavos.
-[X] They are a part of the realm now - and so as they fall under the laws of Scholarum, they shall submit all the lore they have.
--[X]
Ensure all the lore of Faceless Men is submitted to review.
--[X]
Trade for artifacts and/or magic items, if they possess any.
-[X] And while we are at it... Their organization shall either have a tight set of limits on what they can do within the confines of your Empire - or have no place in it at all. We cannot afford the unaffiliated cult of Assasins running around.
--[X]
Talk to the leadership of the Faceless Men, and try to find a middle ground - we'd waste
far too much time purging them, after all, and there will always be better targets to turn their ire towards, than mere mortal men.
[X]
If at all possible, attempt to set up a personal meeting with the Traitor-General of Yi-Ti.
-[X] General purpose: raising awareness on the matters of Golden Company, Illithids, Devils, Bloodstone Emperor acting actively and Long Night coming - ensure that he sees the
true dangers to his people - and doesn't interfere with our coming war with Golden Company.
[X]
Make sure to take some time to look over the marriage law and the inheritance-related laws of the Emperium.
[X]
Have a personal meeting with the Chosen of Smith.
-[X]
Extensively divine irregular points of interest about him and his works - just in case, since one favored by
Smith can prepare far more of a trap than a regular cleric.
--[X] Check his supply routes, from where he gets the materials for enchanting -
and the people he interacts with along the way, including those he gives the items to, and who gave him the order of Dragon-slaying weaponry. Such spell as
Hindsight may come especially in handy if he interacted with someone protected by Mindblank, giving us at least a
clue to investigate.
--[X]
With Chosen of Crone having been helping him, also try to affect the same general points about her and сompany she keeps.
---[X] Learn the interests and priorities of Chosen of Crone, the people they keep company with - a usual thorough investigation in search of clues for a possible trap.
-[X]
If no suspicious activity is detected via divination, meet with him - the focus of the meeting is to set up at least
mild relationship with the Chosen, and ensuring he focuses on
bigger threats to people of Westeros than us.
--[X] Sharing with him our wast array of Lore on Enemies of All (Devils, Demons, Daemons, Others, Illithid, Fey, Rakshasa, Tiamat, etc.-) is a big aspect of this. There is also the
potential of directly sponsoring him (see: Warrior's Chosen) if all goes well...
[X]
Have Divinations run targeting Denys Mallery - ensuring his safety wherever his father decides to send him.
-[X] It might be a good idea to
visit him as the cleric of the Earth Mother in person (be it in reality or but a
dream) - in the light of the deal you set up with the Storm God, he is your
best chance at reaching his patron... And, perhaps, ensuring that
her blessings spread far and wide, ensuring both her and your realm's prosperity.
[X] By sending people to look into Tiamat's Shadow Fortress, you are no doubt setting a very difficult task before them - even if they aren't there to actually get in, but just to learn the plans and a quick way to enter
later.
-[X]
At the start of the 11th month, ask Undead of Sallosh to assists Melisande, Shadow!Tor and Anu in their task, if only because
one of the guarding measures seem to be engaged Undead of their long-lost nation.
[X]
Have a report on activities of Court of Stars, and the progress on the task we left him on, by Candlekeep Courtier.
[X]
Check the Lys' Flesh-forge's Feywild reflection.
-[X]
If possible, have it brought under Imperial supervision and protection, given a possibility of it being able to repeat the feats of Mossforge - but from a whole
new angle, so fitting the Feywild it resides in.
--[X] If the situation "on land" proves to be in any way volatile, contact Viserys.
[X]
Use Discern Location, Greater Scrying, and Greater Teleport to find and deal with the Wisps that you encountered so long ago in swamps of Braavos... One way, or another.
-[X] It'll be a very short trip for someone of Viserys' power these days unless the Wisps take
care to reside in local Feywild.
[X] Ask Siduri for True Names of Devils serving Dispater. Having saved Zathir, and taken Siduri's oath, you all but
ensured your eventual enmity.
Once he openly makes a move against you, you will have just as little left to lose with him, as you do with Mammon.
--[X] Take care to learn the names of Devils most likely to operate on Plane of Balance, or otherwise hurting our interest, via divination and interference with other sources (Uniila, Erynies, other captives), and target them
first if a move is made against you. Continue operations as standard from there, with the questioning of captured Devils leading further into dismantling their operating cells to a maximally available degree.
