Some of them are, and for some of them suffering is an inherent part of them, like with that Fiend of Tiamat, that couldn't be anesthetized before sacrifice, as suffering was central to its existence, whether that was the suffering of others or itself.

Yeah, but left to its own devices it would just inflict suffering. An alip does not get that choice, the harm it causes is almost incidental to its tortured existence.
 
"The Royal Fleet, Viserys. What are you going to do about the fleet!"

"Nothing."

"... but... "

"Where can they go? I control the entire Narrow Sea."

"Oh. Yeah. I forgot."

"How could you? They have been bitching about it in the Red Keep's small council chambers for over a year."

"Honestly, I was tuning it out by that point."
 
Meanwhile, Tygett, absolutely forgotten about in Dragonstone, waiting for the air elemental messenger which never arrives: "I bet they're all having fun without me."

No, just tack it on. This one will have to be edited a few times in the coming days as events develop and I want to preserve the original baseline plan so that we don't get confused about what was intended and what still needs doing.

There's a ton of moving pieces to all of this as evident by just how many things all happen simultaneously right now.
 
I wonder if any of the lords have fully grasped how utterly pointless their forces are in the face of what the Imperium can muster. The entire goddamn continent taken in a single day.

I think they got the picture when Viserys said "I'm off to go pacify your entire country with my private army. Have fun drinking."
