We bought the books. Is the method not in any of the books?

No it's not, as mentioned in the update there are not many books in Yi Ti about such mundane subjects. You learn such things from other craftsmen not from a book

Could we begin to have people research this? Or would we have to go recruit someone to show us their own method? The only thing is, the rice paper method may not be the best means for us, given local materials and conditions differ around the Imperium and it's better from a logistical standpoint to have production spread out.

You guys could research wood pulp paper yes. Alchemists would be particularly good at this.

@DragonParadox, just in case you didn't see it, is there an Art of War equivalent in Yi Ti which we could eventually get access to as a Rare Tome? I was hoping it would be a High Magic version that details the Yi Tish or possibly even Dawn Empire methods of blending magic with armies.

So we need to start recruiting then...we can do that.

Yes, you could recruit someone who knows how to make rice paper

There are rare books about war in Yi Ti. I can't really reveal more than that IC.
 
@DragonParadox last question for the night, and it's an economics one, but not the kind that involves numbers in anything but the abstract.

Gold/Silver intake versus taxes and tariffs being collected in Imperial Marks is steadily (albeit quite slowly) shrinking as more and more of it enters circulation each month and loans are given out by the Iron Bank, but we will still be collecting regular bullion for quite a while.

But given this means we are literally swallowing up boatloads of gold every month and most of it is sitting in our treasury unless we spend it, what kind of effect is that having on Westeros??? The Lannisters quite literally can't spend most of the gold they have lest they crash the economy, so they're not exactly short on the regular kind, but the minted variety, the ones stamped with the faces of dead Targaryen kings where they haven't yet been reminted or Robert's face, if I'm math-ing correctly, even in the estimation that the majority of our gold is mostly from taxes as people try to quickly get rid of it while reorganizing their income so that they are collecting a steady stream of our own minted currency, have got to be flowing into our treasury alarmingly fast.

And they don't exit the treasury as anything other than highly pure ingots stamped with the Three-Headed Dragon, and not often on the same plane unless it's in places like Trader Town where they'll happily take our gold without us having to make up the difference with more of it.

Edit: To add to the above, a Baelish or Kevan interlude about this would be great. Kevan especially great.

Edit 2: Meant Imperial Marks... that's an old slip.

Let's get this over with, ya'll.

Also, while the Wisps have been an enemy we've fixated on for years, dreaming of vengeance for bringing us so close to death, I feel like us hunting them down now would be...petty. We are better than that. Yes, vengeance would be sweet, but it wouldn't fit Viserys' character very much, IMO.

I don't exactly need to kill them. But shaking them down for their lunch money would be very satisfying.

Very interesting notion, yeah the phenomenon is going down pretty much as described with coin scarcity starting to bite. I'll do that interlude either late this month IC or early next month.

Well, we can either kill them, or loot them as people-loot...
there's variety of choices.

As much as they are a meme, I'm not doing this because I have some laser-focused hatred-filled desire to see them gone - I've not even been a part of the thread at the time the encounters happened, and basically flipped through them when reading the first time.

They are an enemy we left unchecked.
Most likely, yes, this won't be anything of importance, and just a curbstomp.
Why not do it, then?
Our Divination-capability is unmatched with that 8th CIrcle spell, it won't take long to find them (unless they are in Feywild, and ffffuck going there in any circumstances, anyway).

Unless they've been the memetic Draugr and "While Viserys is taking over Tyrosh, Wisps are training" they really won't be a danger, or difficult to deal with, either.

We don't have Suzerain? The second forge was supposed to have any Charisma based templates. Those other options seem alright. Any thoughts on the Splinter Drake as a base creature?

No, that was never part of the templates that came pre-loaded in the Flesh or Fungal Forge. It wouldn't make much sense for them to already have that one, either, as the Valyrians would have had no interest in forging a creature innately capable of being such an effective leader.

Splinter Drakes will make an excellent base chassis for when we upgrade the Fungal Forge. At CR 10, they're actually really good to grow right now, too.

You know what we could do?

Hunt down that swamp-witch that tried to enslave them. The one we promised to deal with before hostilities broke out again.
Our oldest unfullfilled promise, if my memories are correct.
 
@DragonParadox It has to kind of sting for the nobility of Norvos if not Qohor (who have other problems to deal with) that their own coinage, once it leave their lands, pretty much never comes back. To the point where they're pretty much forced to deal in IM, as reminting is borderline impossible due to magic and also makes it lose value compared to the buying power of one of our own monetary units.

That's not even getting into the effects this is having on Westeros. Looking forward to that interlude.
 
[X] Look over the marriage and inheritance laws of the Empire.

Fuck it, fine.
