It's not that the writing is bad, it's quite good. It's just that it's been going too long. Like I don't like qyburn enough that I would read more than 5 chapter of his story.
I never said you should stop, just hoped the character would die so we can move on as it were.

@Azel, @Crake I once again
Much like we are likely gonna be making a bunch of Aquatic Defense Groups for [White Harbor, Gulltown, Duskendale, King's Landing, Greyport and Oldtown, Dragonstone, Driftmark, Bear Island, the Iron Islands, Sunspear and Storm's End) as a part of the 3rd month's Forge Order.
All of the usual standardized units are in the quote, for reference.

We'll be conquering all of Westeros in the 5th month, so basically all of them.

So, @DragonParadox , we have learnt the condition of the 3 upper planes and limbo(TN), but what about Purgatory(CN) and Utopia(LN)? Whats the situation there?
CN is the Maelstrom from Pathfinder , like limbo only with more willful chaos and the Abyss slowly seeping into it. LN is Axis, an ally trending towards vassal of Baator, like an actual vassal not a puppet like Heaven's Shore

Wait, I thought Limbo was the CN plane?
That was where the Githzerai lived and where nothing lasts without people concentrating on making it last.
Oh right, the TN plane would be the Plane of Balance itself

Third Day of the Third Month 294 AC
Heaven's Shore
Mereth looked down at the list, eyes glued upon the complex lines of the High Script, what mortal conjurers at times called True Infernal, though it was no more so than a official document was 'truer' than instructions carried above a battlefield. If anything, Mereth had come to disdain those too-abstract lines and exacting meanings, she had come to associate them with orders from a lord she had grown apathetic towards. It was also a touch too close to the golden script of Heaven from on high for comfort. She could admit that much now. Most importantly for this transaction it was also the only script that could hold the whole of a baatezu's name.
All that passed behind her eyes in an instant, back muscles tensing to open wings this false form did not have. She almost wanted to snatch away the scroll just to keep it from sight, though they were alone here, her and the Withered One that dealt in rotting memories. Mereth had not expected to see those Names.
Twelve of her sisters... Yes, four soul hagglers too and she was sure the King would be glad to see them, but they now had twelve of her sisters' Names, by which they could be called or banished, blessed or broken, ended up in the hands of this... merchant.
"How?" she projected through the still air, words hard as steel.
"Angels are not the only ones who might wish to lose themselves to entertainments of the flesh, the mind or the soul. Not all are mine of course, some were traded to others who had cause to bargain with Baator, but you know by now that the years will wear down all things, even a soul of bloodied steel," He did not sound contemptuous or worse sympathetic, only faintly curious and perhaps a touch surprised at the list she had handed him yesterday.
By bulk the broker could be counted to have gotten the better deal, but then that is why he was a merchant and she the customer. The list Mereth had handed off had been filled with names whose only commonality was being baatezu, the sixteen names she had gotten in return were all of beings her lord would be interested in calling. Comrades she might be reunited with, the nagging voice of hope, ever more present of late, reminded her. She tried to tell herself it was because it would make her position stronger and more prestigious. It was after all true... but not the whole truth.
"I assume all is in order?" the dead Far-Begotten interrupted her reverie.
"Yes," the fury replied with a brief nod, rolling up the scroll. "A pleasure doing business with you, Master Ishmagnis," she said aloud, not wanting to go through the slightly nauseating process of crafting the thought-form of his name. To her surprise she found that she actually meant it. Any of her sisters who traded their names such that they would be free for the buying in Heaven's Shore would be sorely lacking in purpose. Something she might help provide if they agreed to it.

I'm conflicted about this.
Oh well, fuck Mammon.
Ahkay, starting with small stuff that would in no way cause retconianial hell for us by being shown too soon.
[X] Plan: "Air superiority, for fun and profit".
[X] Eyes in the Sky: Have the training/patrol flights experiment with mounting Serpent Stone recorders on their Wyverns to later review the footage for intelligence purposes. Try mounting it on different spots of the hull, in the cockpit and so on.
[X] Aerial patrols: Use Serpentstone Recorders to take reconnaissance videos of Westeros. To get a good quality, try low altitude and low speed (500m, 200km/h) fly-overs during mid-day.
-[X] Areas to cover:
--[X] Coast near Parchments in the Stormlands
--[X] Coast of Blackwater Bay, especially the estuary of the Blackwater.
--[X] The Fingers in the Vale
--[X] The Neck in the North
--[X] Coast near White Harbor in the North.
--[X] The Arbor in the Reach.
--[X] Coast near Oldtown in the Reach.
--[X] The Bay of Crabs in the Riverlands.
----[X] 3rd Fighter Squadron (12x Wyvern Type-C)
[X] Pilot Training
----[X] 1st Training Squadron (8x Wyvern Type-B, 2x Manticore)

Also, either @Azel or @DragonParadox, plz move this to apocrypha instead of the threadmarked proposal.
That shit's incomplete.

@DragonParadox, are these Erinyes not Advanced/Veterans like all the others we've recruited?
Yes they are.

In that case, great!
This is an excellent haul, even if we still have to recruit them. Shame about the Uniila and the Gelugons not being available, but maybe we can get lucky next time or even stumble across a Mammon plot.[X] egoo

Done. Could you also edit in the amendment from yesterday yet or should I threadmark that separately until your computer works again?

Can someone remind me what Falxugon do? Google tells me they harvest souls and corrupt mortals and that just seems like what every devil does.
