In addition to the Gemstone Table, we also made a full set of Anchors for each of the eight Legions.
Here's a standard set for a Legion.
We're going to start working on the Border Anchors next month.

That's... wow. Says a lot about how far we've come that I'm saying this is cheap. This would have beggared us a few years ago.
Viserys, why are you saying this, was it not you who commissioned Buttercup the Bard to make songs of dubious quality? Why are you so adverse to 'helping them along' now?

Yeah, it's pretty impressive. 60,376 IM for the Gem Table and 8 Legions worth of anchors would have been an unthinkable expense a couple years ago.
It's even more impressive when you factor in the 8 Heralds, 12 Wyverns, 2 Moonchasers, and all the other stuff all we enchanted this month, totaling up to 883,923 IM.
293 AC? 293 AC? I thought the quest was at least at late 294, maybe even starting to reach 295. The quest reaches 293 in the early half of the 200-300 pages of reader mode. That means more than half the quest takes place over one year when the first half takes place over 3-3.5 years! At this rate, it will reach canon ASOIAF by the time I graduate college. I'm still a high school senior. Actually, will it even reach that point? You guys are level 18. Even if you go with epic levels, it's possible you'll reach level 30 before then. How big is this thing going to get?

Welcome to the insanity.
We should definitely be done before you start drawing Social Security benefits.

Next turn goes into 294 AC.
Yes, it is slower than molasses right now but focus is about to tighten up extremely.
Grats, you are reading faster than most people do.
Yes, this has been an eventful year.
We are using the Pathfinder Mythic Heroes system, not Epic Levels from 3.5
We will probably reach canon, in all honesty. We've been going since 2016, I don't imagine we'll stop by 2024 at this rate.
Question, if we are only using the Mythic system, do we have any use for XP after we reach level 20? Also will there be any way to upgrade Viserys's dragon form to Great Wyrm status?

Total Domination shall be ours, no matter how long it takes.
Not sure how we'd go about that. Alternatively we could sacrifice things and convert them to XP for spell purposes.
I've been musing on storing it somehow for XP-heavy spells. Like a full-blown Miracle that costs 10,000 XP.

Part MMMCDXLXVIII: Of Sorcery and Swords
Of Sorcery and Swords
Thirty-First Day of the Twelfth Month 293 AC
The decision to nominate Alysande for the position of Headmistress of the Braavosi branch of the Scholarum had been an easy one. Protecting Braavos had been a great part of why she had even taken up sorcery in the first place, and she had died to defend it once already. It is not hard to see how she might be more comfortable remaining in the Secret City than in an inquisitor's often far-flung deployments, at least for a few years. Moreover, as Dany had teasingly said in parting, 'it makes planning the wedding easier'. From the looks of things, and the sounds of flushed not-quite denials, you suspect they will be marrying next year.
Sarah, on the other hand, presented a bit trouble. For one thing, she had not believed she was qualified and no matter that you believed she had all the skills required, confidence in one's abilities was a valued skill as a leader, particularly in these so swiftly changing times, and its lack could be crippling. Still, after some soul searching, she had come back to accept the position, a list of instructors she would work with already in hand. You recognized Teana's work in the note. One of the less obvious advantages of having so many sets of hands and eyes.
Of course Pentos is going to need more than a new school of mages to integrate smoothly into the empire.
***
The surface of the finely made stone table looks as if it was made of powdered rubies, emeralds, and sapphires, yet is perfectly solid to the touch. If the right command word is spoken, the powdered gems flow like water to form a detailed miniature of Pentos, from its newly rebuilt southern quarter, where the worst of the slums once stood, to the great Temple of R'hllor, an illusory candle flame above its tallest tower, to the various courthouses, lawmen headquarters, and legion strong points. Individual officers and even legionnaires were but faint sparks of red against the city streets.
"I hope this..." Lya motions to her latest creation with pardonable pride. "Has been of use in your duties here in Pentos."
"Between this, the Harbinger, and the dragon flying around up there, it took days to convince the locals we weren't planning to put the city to sword and fire," Aubert Flowers says, before giving an elaborate bow to Nettles. "Of course no offense intended, my lady."
The dragon rider snorts, obviously used to his manner. "The only ones that were scared were the ones with something to hide. Smugglers and thieves, as much as slavers. One bunch almost took advantage of the expansion to fill the new lawmen with their bought and paid for thugs."
"Only those with responsibilities near the harbor, and we caught them before they could do any real harm," Ser Gerold temporizes. "Hardly an offense that merits dragonfire."
Turning to you, he admits that it had slowed down the expansion of the lawmen just enough that it would take another month to finish the job. "You won't be needing as many legion boots on the ground by then. We hanged most of the lingering slavers and dismantled their fortunes. I think it's finally sinking in that slavery is more of a risk than it's worth, even in the places its easiest hidden, like pillow houses."
Expand Law Enforcement in Pentos Progress 33/34
"There is probably always going to be some trouble enforcing it there to a degree," Aubert explains soberly. "Those that end up in such dire straights that they feel compelled to sell their bodies often have nowhere else to go, leaving them easy pray for those who would bind them ever tighter."
"And that is why we have lawmen," you conclude firmly, even as Ser Gerold opens his mouth, you suspect to make the same point. "Your task was to quell unrest and handle the worst of the troubles, not trade in your red cloaks for grey. You have done all that I had hoped."
Enforce Martial Law in Pentos Complete
"And served as proof of concept for the table," Lya added. "Do you think it would be useful for the lawmen to have such tools too eventually?"
One of the more junior officers, present only through the magic of the table as a translucent figment, looks down at the literally gem-encrusted table. "That's going to talk a while, I would wager..."
Maybe not as long as you assume, you think. Friend and foe alike had been surprised before at how quickly things could change.
What do you do next?

@DragonParadox, is there a way to put the absolute bare minimum into completing this instead of wasting a hero unit's action on this next turn?
About time Alysande Redsail and Uthero the Only made things official.

Technically a hero could take the action but split focus, reducing progress for the dice rolled. I'm not sure if they contribute to another province's progress at the same time though, only travel elsewhere to do something in person.Son of a bitch.

Yes, just use a province action. It does not have to be heroes.
Good night guys, see you tomorrow as we continue to wrap up the month.
