Her problem is not that she wants a person dead, it's that the entirety of House Rowan, her last living family are also related to her mother's murderer, so she has two conflicting inclinations regarding them and thus does nothing

By what metric does she consider them Kin?
Does she know them or are they strangers to her?
She has not been able to bring herself to watch them in the flesh, though she has scryed them.

[X] "I would say judge what is most important to you, the joy of new connections and the sorrow of what might be friends, even family, lost to the grinding weight of immortality," letting the present slip away to doddering old age, in less than polite terms, "Or butchery of people for crimes older than some civilizations. This is, perhaps unsurprisingly, not a question I have seldom been posed, except in one case an ancient circle of Singers and Seers roused from their long slumber has turned their vengeance towards a more real and present danger to the world of form and life and warmth." And also by your own hand.
-[X] "If you would have your vengeance, in this case, I would wager as you are alive and they shall all be dead, the one who wronged you would get the last laugh." Especially considering she would be slaying a family who doesn't even know of the crimes committed and has no way to make amends for them. "My lady, seek mediation. Take the slow path to peace, as it costs you nothing but time. Or turn your eyes from it and find new beginnings as the rest of the world is, that sorrow might not weight your heart down in an endless maze. To do otherwise will not paint you in colors of justice or vindication. Rather, I think you will be more often be cursed in these lands than anything else."

Then I suppose the last question would be thus.
Is she looking for Justice or is she looking for a way to mend the hole in her heart left by a monsters actions?

We have found much worth in the forgiving of wrong doings. For wicked creatures, past sins, and even for those who once opposed us.
At the same time we have been pretty, cruel, and vengeful when we felt wronged or our family was endangered.
I think Viserys deeply despises his father, and would waste no time in killing him should he crawl out of the Abyss.
He still loves Dany though.

Bloodraven does have a Rowan daughter he's got some scheme going with... maybe we should poke him and see how that could be worked.

I thought something along those lines as well.

Now that you mention it, I do dimly remember that. Isn't she the one Dalla kidnapped?

Yeah, basically, and Dalla let her go free to presumably advance Brynden's schemes, though she might still in the Vale. We'd have to poke Brynden for more.

[X] Plan Fey Dealings
-[X] Ask her to grant you a day and a night to ponder her question, because you do not wish to offer rash council in a matter that has clearly weighed heavily on her for millennia.
-[X] Visit Bloodraven's Varys body in Kings Landing, get a report on the events there in recent months and talk about the matter with him, especially in light of him plotting with the daughter of the Rowans.
-[X] Your current plan would be to advise the Dryad to befriend House Rowan, earn their trust and turn them away from kneeling before Andal gods, even cursing the name of their ancestor for the crimes he committed. Then, when his own flesh and blood rejects him, she will have her revenge, having taken his life, his false honor and every scrap of the legacy he tried to create through murder and rape.

Best not to, we have a mental connection already.
The original Varys managed to cheese past our Mindblank by listening to some stones, and this one has just as many things gunning for him, I'd recon.
And since we want the Fake!Varys to last for at least 3-4 months, best not to risk anything, methinks.

We can just meet in the equally paranoid Inquisition base we have in Kings Landing. That's our normal way to interact with him in the flesh anyway.

Basically, not all Fey are assholes, just most of them.
Evil!Glyra was a pain, but the current version is great, and Moonsong has worked worked out very well, too. The whole Orphne Court has meshed well with the Imperium, and our dealings with them have always been amicable. I also have high hopes for Ser Dregaire.

That's unnecessary. We regularly converse with Bloodraven via the permanent Telepathic Bond spell we have with the false Varys Simulacrum. Meeting with him in the flesh is just a waste of time and a complication which makes Bloodraven's life as Varys more difficult.

I really enjoyed this chapter, @DragonParadox. It was a very different take on what we've seen of most Fey, especially large gatherings. Very neat imagery, too.
