aight, I guess better to point out blatantly obvious to idiots that can unironically compare to the derangedness of the Westerosi.
@Azel, @Crake, @Duesal, do we grow Heart Trees in every city Westeros has once we take over, or do we follow the established "1 Healing Tree per province"-rule, like we did in Essos?
Also, if the latter, I'd like an affirmation that
stuff is still relevant and we'll have 25(?) provinces in Westeros total, starting South of the Wall. @Azel?
Both. 1 per province, but also one for the major cities. The lords we put in charge of each province aren't necessarily going to directly rule the biggest cities in their realms.

She has not decide yet, it's a bit of a personal conflict. Part of her wants to name it after her first born child now long dead, but she would like to speak to the 'the Old Blood first', he was their ancestor too.
Hmhm.
25 Heart Trees for Provinces.
Also a Heart Tree per city, and that's... [White Harbor, Gulltown; Saltpans; Greyport; Duskendale; Kings Landing; Oldtown; Sunspear]?
Gonna be 32 Tier-3 Heart Trees then. 1728 HD.
Lucky thing we can summon this many Demons in just a few days
Less lucky is that the standard "each Heart Tree has these guard it"-group costs 13.320 IM.
2x Verdant Wolves - 2,400 IM total
2x Advanced Druid Lotus Leshy - 4,800 IM total
1x Druid Treant - 4,800 IM
1x Watchmole (CR 6) - 1,320 IM
It is 426.240 IM on top of all else. Am adding that to the order, be tee dubs.
Bran is a dubiously bad candidate. He is far too credulous to be a mage--that's not naive, he is more than aware in canon that there are bad people with what happened, I mean credulous. Taking Brynden at his word was a hilariously bad decision.
He would probably also be happier being a knight, given his interests.

I think we can agree on anyone except Bran. When Bloodraven frees himself from the Weirwood Throne, his replacement will be someone cultivated by both Bloodraven and Viserys, with a high as fuck wisdom score.

With our various extraplanar misadventures we've got enough sacrifices to grow this in bulk, so no worries. The bigger problem is anticipating the discontent by Seven worshipers in response, but this is gonna be part of humbling the Seven.
For the record: Garin is doing fine work as the Grand Inquisitor and I see little reason to replace him (unless he wants to retire and focus more on his family), but I'm pretty sure a freed Bloodraven would grow bored from retirement within a week at most, so we should make him a Lord Inquisitor. Then he can largely set his own schedule and get out to shank some fools whenever he is in the mood for some work.

I was thinking the same thing, I just didn't want to make him do more of the work that he was good at because from a mental health perspective, it's the least conducive to actual happiness for him.
At least leaving the option open to pursue other interests in lieu of mono-focusing on being a spymaster seems nice.

Maybe he can get himself a hobby? I wonder if he would be interested in horticulture, or something else that would give him a good excuse to clip a bunch of roots. 🤓
Pretty much anywhere we put Bloodraven he's going to excel, especially with a younger body either made through the Forges or Cyclic Reincarnation. He could be a Lord Inquisitor, a governor, etc. But he'd probably like a Lord Inquisitor role the best.
He shook off the thought, that would just mean he would have all the more chance to show them off when their dragons were big enough to ride, since the girls would be spending most of their time being the dragons and unused to riding. "Er... what did you call your dragons?"
"Skepsi," Reva replied. Thought. Coming back to herself her sister added. "Anamnisi." Memory.
Honestly for BLoodraven I'd mostly prefer if we can just get his throne properly moving, instead of removing him from it.

@Azel, @Crake, @eveyone else, RN's the best moment to speak up if y'all want something specific made inb4 Reconquest starts, I think.
The humongous order will likely just take up 2 whole months until it regardless..?

@egoo, put a pin in this for now, but we're going to need a giant guard contingent forged for the tree we grow over the smoldering remains of the Court of Stars. Like well beyond what the other trees have.
Also there's an unknown amount of trees to be grown over the feywild portals.

It straight up isn't what Bloodraven wants. He wants to be free to live and not stuck in a chair forever.

Both good points.
I'm not sure if there will be anything to recover after we're done, but I guess a Heart Tree is as good an insurance no Fey restarts the CoS o the very same spot, as any other.
So, I guess it's more of a hundred and 32 Heart Trees.
Ugh.
We really ought to raid Efreeti for items and sacrifices. Maybe take over that mine after all.
But, whatever, for now it's only making the stuff we can reasonably foresee the need for, not guesstimates.

For now we need to assign priority to the Feywild Portal Trees. We should have enough sacrifices to grow all of them, but for that plus Westeros it's likely we will need to raid the Efreeti again like you said.

Keep in mind that we a) don't know yet if that works, b) that we don't know all that many portals in the first place and c) that Imperial Steel might yet be a better option.
All of this should be talked about with Bloodraven.
