He was granted a Valyrian Steel Longsword upon his appointment as the Governor of Sallosh, but thumbs up for everything else.

Let him see what we fight against, so his people do not decide to rebel.

I think we're more than safe from potential rebellion. We gave them a hella good deal. Funding to build their city, food until they get their farms and fisheries running, protection from outside threats, etc.

Yep, you missed it. Kinda.
Dany's Persistomancy includes Encouraging Mass Conviction for a +6 Morale bonus to saving throws and Righteous Wrath of the Faithful for a +3 Morale bonus to attack rolls and damage.
We also have Lya to cast Aura of Vitality when needed, for a +4 Morale bonus to STR, DEX, and CON.
Vargo is not really rebellious, he's depressed at his own perceived failings. Remember he actually thinks he is an heir of the last high king even though that is just trickery by the dead to get him possessed.

He thought that. We made sure to tell him the truth afterwards so he wouldn't try to go off to Sarnath and proclaim his "legitimacy".

Now that we've destroyed the army of Kasath, the ruler of Mardosh owes us that promised alliance, right?
*checks back*
Right, I'd forgotten you guys told him. Still he feels like a fraud because his people still believe the heir lie.

It was against Sarnath he wanted us to go to battle against.
I like how Viserys looks at everyone else like they're crazy for something that would get your head cut off as is standard across half the world for doing something like this. This is why Viserys is an eccentric.
Not because he's likes his baths hot enough to cook stew in, not because he moonlights as a fake bard. This.

Part MMMDCXV: Battles Sought and Guarded
Battles Sought and Guarded
Twentieth Day of the Second Month 294 AC
Though you could truthfully point out that the better part of the Ninth Legion waited the battle out in reserve you suspect the truth alone will not serve here. Thus after pointing out that it will be better for the people of Sallosh to remain safely in the Deep you invite him to accompany the campaign that he may speak to his people of what he sees as honestly as you do with him. "This is no sellsword's war of city against city, no noble's spat where the worst one might face is injury or death, these are the sins of yesteryear come to haunt us all after their perpetrators have been driven from these lands."
"It is the war against my people's enemy..." Vargo grimaces, the expression seeming almost painful upon the lines of his face. "My people's legacy. To let those of the Three Daughters, of Braavos, Volantis and the Deep fight it for us would be a lessening of our place in the realm."
Your place you mean, you think but do not say, biting back a sigh. It would do little good to point out that there are Sarnori legionaries, just as there are for every city of the realm and some beyond it. What the man before you wants is what he wanted when he built a caravan in Saath hoping to drive into the plains, to carve out a place for his people, to reclaim by force of arms a realm lost. Though he now has these things here in Sallosh he cannot rest and see all the troubles swept away by another's hand.
In the silence that follows you look to the sword at his side, it had been gifted as a symbol, but its edge will cut just the same and if accounts of his skill do not lie he would not fair poorly against Ser Willem Darry on the training field at least. "There are some who were on the field today in whose company I think you would do you well." Not least because you trust them to have the good sense to retreat, you forbear from adding.
***
While Diana is speaking to the Governor of Sallosh about his skills and the arms and armor he bears, some borrowed and some gifted, Nuri draw you aside. "Why did you have to foist him on us? He's not useless I guess, but I'm not falling over myself over his donkey handling skills from when he was a caravan guard. Why not the deep dwellers?"
You give her a long meaningful look as to why you could not entrust Vargo to the drow assassins, not that you think they would actually kill him, but leave him behind as a distraction while they retreat, that you could well imagine. While Tuin and Morwyn might be slowly learning to value some 'sun-walkers' for skill at arms, for wit and insight, you doubt they would care one way or another about the administrator of a city they saw once in passing on the road to a battle.
"Alright... alright, but I want a proper dragon at least watching us, one of the shadow-kin," the incarnate allows with a huff that is at once familiar and strange.
You see no reason to refuse. The myrkdreki would doubtless be able to amuse themselves.

That's an odd turn of phrase. Is this because Braavos, Volantis, and Sorcerer's Deep are considered the three greatest powers in the Imperium? The actual Three Daughters are probably fuming at this.

The Three Daughters are seen as one cultural power pole whereas Volantis, Boraavos and the Deep stand on their own.

Quite funny how people see this as the case now, given how much smaller in population it is. Thinking about it though, it makes sense. With the industry over in Everfire Dale and Mosshold, the multiple comprehensive companies across multiple industries the Crown owns, and the extremely rapid urbanization of population centers peppered around the islands, the Stepstones as a whole will be an economic powerhouse to match either Braavos, Volantis or the Daughters, even if its just a collection of islands. Most fertile lands, everyone working in prosperous industries, highest number of mages per capita in the world...

Here's an edited version of the chapter, DP.
It seems likely that Asshai has a higher number of mages per capita (and likely stronger mages too), but then its population is tiny

I dunno, we're catching up in both departments... goddamn fast, we have around 3,000 mages--the majority of which are in Sorcerer's Deep. Asshai has maybe 50,000 inhabitants. Surely not all of them are mages.

[X] Meet with the prisoners from Kasath alongside Queen Naamaru. Seeing as how the discussion on the future of her people is a future you hope to entrust to all the peoples of Sarnor who would see reason, you don't see any reason to exclude any officers or nobles present from it. Though they are presently enemies, if you had planned no future for them beyond death you would have ordered their deaths on the field, and that did not sit rightly with you in the least.
According to Melisande everyone in Asshai has to have at least some skill at ritual magic. It's how you keep the Dark out when the east wind blows.

And while the population of Sorcerer's Deep is currently smaller than that of most of the older big name cities, I would wager that a much smaller proportion of our populace are space fillers, for lack of a better term. Per capita, SD likely has far more scholars, mages, artisans, craftsmen and women, traders, etc. than any other city can hope to claim. Oldtown might have more scholars, Myr might have more craftpeople, Asshai might have more mages, and Braavos might have more traders, but we have it all. And we're growing!
