[X] Plan NEW! WORLD! ORDER! NEW! WORLD! ORDER!
-[X] "Long has been the path that has led us to this day. Not merely for myself, not even just for those who stand before me, but for this world and even the spheres beyond."
-[X] "Long have we lived in the shadows of glories long past." Raise your right hand. "In the shadows of empires fallen long before our birth." Raise your left hand. "In the shadows of heroes that have faded into legend." Sweep out your arms and lower them. "We were born into an age of waning. An age of fading. Born knowing that this world had become lesser than what it once had been. Knowing that all we would build, all we could ever strive for, would pale compared to the achievements of the past."
--[X] The right hand indicates Essos, which usually is to the right side on maps, while the left hand means Westeros. Take note that the throne room is set up on a East-West axis with the throne itself in the position of the dawn sun, so the directions indicated by Viserys are actually north and south.
-[X] "But no more."
-[X] "On this day, a new age begins. Not an age of stagnation. Not even an age of renewal. On this day, we will usher into a new age of wonders. An age that will not be a mere simulacrum of what came before, but that will reach heights yet undreamed of."
-[X] "From Lonely Light to Sallosh, this world was ruled by hatred and bloodletting, but in their stead, there is now peace."
-[X] "From Thennhold to Gogossos, this world was ruled by chaos and strife, but in their stead, there is now order."
-[X] "From the lowest beggar to the greatest lord, this world was ruled by distrust and betrayal, but in their stead, there is now unity."
-[X] "On this day, I swear that through my will, these dreams shall be made manifest. I swear that through my laws, they will be guarded and protected. I swear that through my light, they shall be carried into the darkest corners of this world."
-[X] Get out the crown. "On this day, I, Viserys Targaryen, name myself Imperator." Crown yourself.
-[X] "The Age of Waning is no more." Sit on the throne, using your magic to let the inner flames of the Imperial Steel shine like the new dawn. "May the Age of the Imperium begin."

@DragonParadox, is our cloak excited for the ultimate moment of showing off? :V

You've written it as having an almost pseudo-intellect with how it grabs and deposits things for us, kind of like how Dr. Strange's Cloak of Levitation does things on his behalf. I've always imagined Viserys' cloak to be super vain and prone to being extra shiny when it knows it's being admired.

While the cloak does have some basic intelligence it's not quite enough to understand the abstract concept of a coronation. It does ract to his emotions so when those reach a crescendo it will likely do something relevant.

@Azel The only thing I think needs to be added is announcing the pacification of the Western provinces directly after crowning ourselves.

For maximum trolling.
 
@Crake, better?

--[X] If you indeed gain another Mythic rank:
---[X] Mythic Feat: Extra Path Ability (Beyond Morality)
---[X] Mythic Spell: Magic Army
---[X] Path Ability:
----[X] Divine Source (Su): Fire Domain, Knowledge (Espionage) Subdomain, Law (Legislation) Subdomain
----[X] Beyond Morality (Ex): You have no alignment. Attempts to detect your alignment don't return any results. If you're the target of a spell or effect that is based on alignment, you're treated as the most favorable alignment when determining the spell's effect on you. Any effects that alter alignment have no effect on you. If you lose this effect, you revert to your previous alignment.
-[X] "I saddens me to know that some reject this bright future. That some wish to keep their fellow man in misery and bondage, and who have gone as far as to make alliance with the enemies of all life and sanity. My generals." Nod towards to the Legion generals. "My commanders." Nod to the air-force commanders. "Their madness has gone on long enough. Their depravities have done enough damage. Go forth and for one final time, beseech them to see reason. And if they do not, then do what is necessary to keep the peace."
-[X] "I shall personally join these efforts once you have reached Westeros. When the sun dawns on a new day, let it shine upon dragon banners flying from the Red Keep and Casterly Rock. As it should be."

IMMENSELY.

Wow, this is peak megalomania.
...
Is it bad that I sort of like it?

I'm not sure about the "knowing that you have reached power far beyond what your ancestors could have ever dreamed off". So far we've established Viserys as wanting cheers, recognition, the ability to change the world - but political power for itself? Not so much.
I mean, in practice basking in the cheers and the success vs basking in the power look exactly the same. I'd just prefer Viserys' internal monologue to go towards the first option.

--[X] If you indeed gain another Mythic rank, pick Divine Source again (allowed to be taken one tier early by DP), choosing the Fire Domain and the Knowledge -> Espionage and Law -> Legislation sub-domains.

@Crake, @Goldfish, @TalonofAnathrax, @Duesal, tagging you people since you are the most likely and potentially only ones who care about this.

If we really get another Mythic rank, we might as well decide what to take there already. I've intentionally arranged the speech to lead to this exact outcome, so I decided to add the choice here so DP can integrate that if he wants.

We're about to light our throne up like a bonfire of Fire-accented arcane energies... so that's gonna be a baller bit of prose to read through.

This sounds good by me.

Do we get another Mythic Spell this rank or no?
