Westeros
[] The Curse of Brightbarrow: "Brightgallow near Three Towers, the seat of House Costayne in the Reach, is the site of some sort of powerful transformative curse theorized to be caused by wishcraft gone awry. Most of the villagers were put to the sword following instances of banditry and cannibalism, but there is an indication that Garth 'The Gallant', a fey-sworn knight, has preserved the lives of the youngest inhabitants who were them taken to Greyshield in secret. Investigate the site in search of whatever artifact had worked the initial transformation.
(Opposition: ??; Rewards: ??)

[] A Cult of Personality: In Cinderwood Glade near Ashford, what seems to be a small cult dedicated to a charismatic enchanter with little interest beyond fulfilling his base desires through his arts appeared. Marked for possible recruitment by the devils due to being clever enough to keep his hand away from the high nobility unlike most such power-drunk mages, this man needs to be dealt with – one way or another.
(Opposition: ??; Rewards: ??)

[] A Darker Kind of Fey: Deal with various Fey of Court of Stars proving a danger to people of Westeros:
-[] Swift Eye, a Quickling who haunts the outskirts of Oldtown alongside his troupe has been known to deal with Deep Ones. On the other hand, he has helped the Lantern Bearers as much if not more. His greed seems to be the great constant of his being. Due to his loyalty to the court, he has been left in peace, though it has been foretold that he will meet an unfortunate end soon at the hands of Deep One agents. He is counted among the Gold faction.
-[] Jagged Knife, a Redcap whose court has set up on the edge of the Rainwood ambushing travelers, particularly families with young children whom he torments with dreadful choices trading lives until they go mad. He is only nominally part of the Court of Stars. Crimson Lotus suspects he gained that position by some manner of blackmail. Killing him might gain favor with his supposed patron of the Indigo if one can stomach working with a being who tacitly allowed such monstrous deeds.

[] Courts of Wild, courts of Green: Meet with Courts of the Greenwood, known for the association with Old Gods of the North. (Tokens of Passage for Old Gods friendly courts near Harroway and Starfall available)

[] The Court of Depths: Meet with the Fey hiding beneath the Garden's waves.

[] The Court of Goldengrove: A Driad queen resides in Rowan's Nest, guarding an entrance to Feywild – and alongside her a Court of nymphs and satyrs. Go there, and learn more of what place they seek in this world of returning magic – if they can be trusted, or relied upon with deals fairly made
(Opposition: ?? Wylkfae, A Driad Queen, Satyrs, Nymphs; Rewards: ??).

[] Capping off a Danger: Cleaned out as most of darker WylkFae have been by Faith and the clansmen, some still escaped. Hunt down the dangerous Redcap murdering travelers, now moved to Kingswood in search of more prey.
(Opposition: ??, Redcaps; Rewards: ??)

[] Hunter, turned Prey: Unfortunate as the member of Wildhunt may have been, he earned your ire well – and the help of Wildhunt may prove invaluable. Hunt down the Wildhunt's member, turned stag, in Stormlands, with no magic.
(Opposition: ??; Rewards: ??, positive influence with the Wildhunt fey)


Beyond the Wall
[] Saltwives' Lament: Standing on the shore of the Sunset Sea upon Sea-Dragon point is a tower of white stone, that seems to have been dipped in salt, local legend claiming from the tears of the kidnapped maidens locked within by cruel ironborn lords. Supposedly such was their sorrow that the sky itself took pity upon them and spat forth a mighty storm to sunder the longships that would take them on to the Iron Isles. Whether they were then slain as witches, or if the deed itself required spilling their heart's blood none can say for certain but all tales agree that one can still hear their sobs and cries whenever a storm strikes those shores. What is clear is that no bird or beast will approach the tower willingly and when Boloodraven drove a raven to do so despite its instincts he briefly spotted pale figure upon the tower's crumbling battlements
(Opposition: ??, Ghosts and Wraiths CR: 5-7; Rewards: ??)

[] The Barrows of the Lost Clans: Finish cleaning up the halls of Lost Clans of Freefolk, filled with risen dead – the bodies unburned by foolish people of now nameless clans.
(Opposition: ??; Rewards: ??)

[] Enter Deadwood Vale: Some ancient blight lingers over this rocky vale between barren peaks, that no weirwood tree will grow within ten leagues of it. Even the beasts here are uncannily hateful to men and will attack not out of hunger but malice... or perhaps the need to keep some deeper evil from being awoken.
(Opposition: ??; Rewards: ??)

[] The Lost Beastbreaker: The famous Beastbreaker of Lorath went looking for more exotic beasts Beyond the Wall a year ago… and has not returned. With the rumors of his proficiency at flesh-crafting and creating new life-forms, it is perhaps important to learn what happened to him… and deny him to Winter if possible.
(Opposition: ??; Rewards: ??)

[] The Fist of Giants: Many months have passed since you learned of Giants gathering beyond the Wall - seemingly seeking leadership, and escape from coming Winter. Having seemingly found former by now, you may just offer them the latter. Visit the Giants with a diplomatic mission.

[] The Last of Frost Untainted: When torn away from the clutches of Others, Rina connected to something -- a focus, or perhaps even a source of her powers, if the comparisons you can draw to other forms of magi are correct -- yet said something was far, far in the reaches of the North - where even you couldn't dare to casually walk then. Now, with far more power at your side, and knowledge that sooner or later the taint of Others will get to where it lies - you shall recover it before it's too late.
(Opposition: ??; Rewards: Something Rina's connected to, apparently not an Eidolon as per DP's PMs with Takesis)

Essos
[] The secrets of Quohor: With the map you gained from Zherys, and the turmoil in Essos, perhaps it's finally time to visit Quohor, gaining the access to its Flesh-forge… and dealing with whatever forces struggle to control the city (Layout plans available).

[] The False Dragon: The instruments have bene forged, the forces gathered for the strike, now all that remains is to sift though the information provided by the shadow spies and find the perfect day to strike, not just against the Golden Company, your dinasty's foes of old but Tiamat herself, though the Well of Ternity you aim to deal her such a blow that she has not felt in many ages of the world.
(Opposition: The full might of the Golden company. Rewards: all dragons have hoards and the greater the wyrm the greater the hoard)

[] A Kingdom, Resting at Last: The Undead of Sallosh, wakened by Golden Company and Tiamat's meddling, are too much of a danger to all living – but most of all, the danger is their 'leaders'. Tear down the "royalty" of theirs, and bring an end to organized efforts of Undead, making further destruction of their forces a much easier task.
(Opposition: ?? – somewhat tied to Tiamat's Shadow Fortress – Rat King may be an opponent; Rewards: ??).

[] On the Paths of Summer Folk: Reach out through the Feywild entrance in Ifequevron – and find out what happened to the remaining Children of Forest.
(Opposition: ??, likely Fey shenanigans; Rewards: ??)

[] A Smoke of Many Colors: Ibbenise sailors have been hunted by a mysterious cloud of smoke from which none return a while now – but it still being out there does not bode well for anyone – whatever it is. Look into the matter, and deal with the danger. (Opposition: ??; Rewards: ??)

[] The Dreamlands, haunted: Dreamlands of Sarnor are stalked by something terrifying… and sooner or later, that will be a danger to your people too. Try to find out more about what once turned it's gaze upon you there.
(Opposition: ??; Rewards: ??

Sothoryos
[] Into the cities of scale-folk: Visit any of the 6 lost Cities of Serpentfolk Yss and Jazzirian informed you of.
(Opposition: ??; Rewards: ??)
-----[] Yglathir of the Thousand Falls: Built partly atop and partly within a great plateau that towers over the surrounding jungles, Yglathir was once protected by wards woven by the waters that crashed down from the heights. By mist it was warded from sight and by the fury of the raging waterfalls from any attacker who thought to take the city by force. Its' people were known to trade in serpentstone blood crystal and sepia ink drawn from the blood of the city's colonies of rainbow serpents that dwelt among the rushing waters as well as more common fare like dried fish, fine pottery and glassware.
-----[] Sorzin the Thorn-City: Guarded by a great living barrier of poisonous thorns that does not merely slay but induces madness and delusion in any who would enter the city unbidden, the city's great walls are thought to be if not the direct inspiration for the walls and wards that guard many Sothoryi villages than at least the greatest example of that art. Without a doubt the most involved in the affairs of the warm-bloods the merchant lords of Sorzin both warred with certain tribes of Brindled Men for plunder and slaves and accepted the tributes of others. It was the first great serpentfolk city to fall in the Fading Times as its webs of alliances collapsed leading to its sacking by bands of Sothoryi whose shamans had discovered a way of passing though the weakened hedge
-----[] Loz'Syn, the Crown of the World: Sitting on the edge of the Great Inland desert, straddling one of the few major rivers navigable rivers that grant access to the interior Loz'Syn also had the good fortune of being satiated upon a unique leyline node that allowed the growing of gem scarabs without the ruinous cost in treasure that raising the creatures woudl otherwise require. Unlike most other serpentfolk cities Loz'Syn was not destroyed by any calamity or invasion but by the gradual dying up of its river-artery. It is thus likely that many of the city's treasures have been carried away by the last departing inhabitants, then again a smaller portion of its vast wealth would still be precious beyond the dreams of avarice
-----[] Tolzeen, Jewel of the Bubbling Waters: A city built on stilts of enchanted wood over poisonous waters bubbling in the caldera of and extinct volcano Tolzteen was known for both its export of rare minerals and crystals and the craft of its alchemists who were said to have achieved immortality by imbibing certain fumes and extracts, though it did not save them from the eruption that scoured the city from the face of the world.
-----[] Nagathisaar, Cradle of the Ancestors: The birthplace of the Naga this city is not laid out as the dwellings of men under the sky might be, not even as much as you had seen already of Seth'Vas. Instead the city is a maze of corridors meant to accompany the sinuous forms of the Naga, though one is unlikely to lack for space to stand within its bounds, the naga never stopped growing age upon age. Here guarded by the eternal ancestors lies the Great Ossuary where the bones of the honored dead were interred that the sages of days yet to come might consult them. Alas that that it was the very bones that were Nagathisaar's downfall. An anciant darkness crept though the sacred halls infesting the bones with its malice and as the wards died so too did the sage priests and all in their realm.
-----[] Thiv'Zin, The Bountiful: Constructed upon a vast sprawl of channels damns and spillways Thiv'Zin was in its hayday the most populous realm of the serpent-kin, the breadbasket of the empire, though not quite in the manner one might at first imagine for its people could not eat of the rice it grew. Instead they herded vast numbers of the painted lizards grown fat and docile though the generations. Their skill did not end with meat-beasts however. Some lizards were bred for hide others for fine bone and horn, still others for their fair plumage. Yet these herds died long ago for blight and war claimed fair Thiv'Zin.

[] Into the Depths: Go through the entrance to Underdark under the city once opposing Lolth.
(Opposition: ??; Rewards:??)

Valyria
[] Balerion's Might: Seek out The Arch of Balerion… or whatever is left of it – and the great arsenal inside of it, famed to be 'enough to wage war on Hell itself".
(Opposition: ??; Rewards: ??).

[] The Knowledge Unburnt: Seek out Great Library of Oros, the place that held the combined knowledge of Valyria old and new and, supposedly, visited by Fourteen Gods themselves .
(Opposition: ??; Rewards: ??, works of Valyrian Scholars and knowledge recovered from the rule of Red Dragons).

[] Into the Heart of Doom: Venture into the deepest and darkest pars of Valyria – and face the blight that poisons all its descendants and their works.
(Opposition: The 15th God of Valyria, ??; Rewards: ??, the bodies of 14 Gods of Valyria)

Asshai
[] Into the Land of Ash: The strange box given to you by the Faceless Men marks a place both feared and infamous the world over, Asshai-by-the-Shadow. Though you know more of what lay beneath the darkness in the east than most, you know but fragments of lore gleaned from old books and trader's tales of the city itself. Perhaps it is time to send an expedition there or even go yourself. After all, you already have a guide in the Lady Melisandre.
(Opposition: The Bloodstone Emperor, ??, Rewards:??).

Other Planes
[] The Rot of Stone, on paths of Trade: Clear out the infestation of Rotstone near the Xorn trade route.
(Opposition: ??, Aberrations; Rewards: ??).

[] Into the Depths: The darker the depths, the harder the pressure... and stranger the secrets hiding beneath. Lurking in the deepest parts of Plane of Water, many wondrous and terrifying things can be found - but neither is it an easy search, for some of those places have never known light, and few things are safe when capable enduring pressures as high.
(Opposition: ??; Rewards: ??)

[] In Oil and Smoke, Divinity's Carcass: The "Sundered" Divine forge, reported to us by Hadhayosh as the place of his birth, can be of significant strategic use, even if all one can recover are mere scraps of lore. Had only it not been lost to tumultuous and chaotic edges of Plane of Fire... Find the Forge, loot as much as possible.
(Opposition: ??; Rewards: ??)

[] A Hateful Eye: Go into the Plane of Earth, to take out Thrasyr, The Hateful Eye. His slights against Shaitan and Efreeti alike had made him no friends, but more importantly, he holds many a treasure beyond mere riches – his knowledge on Undeath may prove to be extremely useful against many dangers Garden faces these days.
(Opposition: Very Old Hex Dragon (CR 19), Rewards: ??)

Efreeti War
[] A Fire, on Fire turned: Aid the rebel Salamander Kingdoms by striking at their rivals
-[] Update: Whether though some slip of the eye of the Great Sultan or the covert actions of Shaitan or Djinn agents many of the Salamander Realms that hard remained loyal to the Brazen throne erupt in fresh rebellion, not enough to make any of them defect, but sufficient to deal the local Efreeti Commander, Bey Hakim Three Eyes a stinging defeat while the Princedoms in rebellion continue to rally into what is increasingly more than an alliance of convenience. Where before the Battle at Ember Sound they had been fighting to throw off the yoke of Efreeti rule, now they fight for plunder.
(Opposition: ??; Rewards: ??)

[] The Enmity Undying: Negotiate with the Lich King Salamander and potentially turn him against the Brazen Throne.
(Opposition: ??; Rewards: ??).

[] Changing the Battlefields, One at a Time: take a personal part in the war against Efreeti - hopefully breaking stalemates beyond mortal memory.
-[] The Ashen Cysts: Said to be the colony of some lost Formian realm the Cysts tower above the shores of the Sea of Fire like a trio of oddly pyramidal mountains. They lie atop valuable deposits of iron, copper, and other base metals. The vast fortresses that have sprung up upon the slopes also provide a deep pool of Azer slaves known as 'the Pale Ones' as they are raised in total darkness before they see the light of the auction block.
Status: Partial Shaitan encirclement. The network of old formian tunnels has proven hard to cut off even when the Shaitan otherwise closed the gap. Shaitan employ earth-ships in order to try and break through.
--[] Update: The Ashen Cysts remain a bloody quagmire with the Shaitan not quite able to tighten the noose or incite rebellion among the 'Pale Ones', leaving only the slow grinding advance of dozens of 'Xorn-Spirals' to eat away at the Efreeti fortresses one by one.

-[] Div's Delight: Once these caverns at the edge of the Plane of Fire were a place of great, if stark and unforgiving, beauty but centuries of attrition to claim the easy passages between the realms has made them into a haunted wasteland, most beloved of the wretched div who hunt the warriors of both sides to add to their ranks.
Status: Centuries-old stalemate.
--[] Update: Div's Delight endures in its age-old stalemate, though there have been more Shaitan losses than usual. You suspect the urgency in wishing to capture that damned place has to do with the revaluation of the Efreeti's willingness to create divs in their war, but so far there is no intelligence report on that front.

[] The Throne's lifeline: The Adamantine Mine, though but one of many sources for Brazen Throne, is a critical strategic location for the war. Take it and hold with Shaitan/Djinn forces providing guard, or make it inaccessible for a long time in some way.
(Opposition: ??; Rewards: ??, Adamantine)
