I figure the idea of it being anti-deep ones was a sop to the Lantern bearers. If we can cast suspicion on what other things the Maesters lied about to them all the better.

Another important note is that Yss cares more about CR than total HD, so sacrificing powerful individuals is much more valuable than mass-sarifice.
And also, the Merling King has handed out a magic item of great use to us once, the amulet with Turn/Rebuke undead before Lys, so set that on the list of possible rewards.

You know, we should write a book for our library. Maybe make it a "series"? Like write our life story starting from as early as we can remember and going up till now.
If we do it in volumes we can make it easier.
Like Volume 1 is about our childhood up until the day we were forced to flee kings landing.
Volume 2 is our survival on the streets of bravos living among the seedy underbelly to our acquisition of the Windward house.
Volume 3 is from our acquisition of the windward house to our exile from bravos
Volume 4 is our conquest of the stepstones to when we left to seal the whispering door.
Volume 5 is our adventures as we went off to seal the whispering door to (i am not sure of a good specific time to stop.)
And so on. It might grant stacking benefits as the biography continues and we will leave nothing out from it. Our story will be as we remember it with no omissions and will be one of the higher security books we will have.
EDIT: Maybe have each of our companions do something like this?

Shouldn't it be CR 16-20 for the highest tier, and it needs clarification: is it 1d4 * HD or 1d4HD? For example, would a creature with CR/HD 20 put him to sleep for 1d4*20 days or 1d420 days?
An old project of mine was writing a fully illustrated Monster Manual collection.

What's the point of a book so full of secrets as to be basically propaganda?
If we make propaganda we should spread it at the very least.
If this quest ends at a stable point I'm writing an Omake where Viserys writes out his life truthfully, secure in his power and willing to piss off a few people to teach "life lessons"
Then it becomes a best-seller in the fiction charts and he's offended.
And historians will study it as propaganda. He'll be annoyed, but when askd they'll spew jargon about "the words of the powerful being tools worthy of study" and imply that all they're interested in are his word choices and not the obviously made-up shit he says he got up to.
Someone may have to remind me, but I'll definitely do it!
EDIT: Here's something great that inspired me. Historian omakes FTW!
And notes is an amazing writer.

I don't actually know. This information is directly copied from DP's post.
We'll need his word for any clarifications.

It's a definite possibility. The people who have actually had to tangle with high magic and supernatural horrors will probably suspect (with the accurate descriptions and on-point analysis of magic and its effects/consequences) that Viserys exaggerated very little if at all, and probably didn't outright fabricate anything (unless it was political and they're cynical).
But the average everyday (I.E even someone living in a high magic empire with core knowledge of the arcane and planes) will believe it pure fantasy. The more charitable and loyal, but not fanatic will probably think some of it is true but not most of it.

I'd rather not spread a bunch of state secrets.

@TotallyNotEvil, let's just assume that it's 1d4*20 rather than 1d420. The former is tough but reasonable. The latter is just impossible to deal with.

If there's a vote on its contents there's going to be in-thread political discussion though...
EDIT: I have the feeling that we agree on the basic elements of Viserys' policies though, do I don't mind being on the winning side (your side).

Um, how is it propaganda?
It would be an autobiography. Not sure how that is propaganda. If you were reffering to editing parts to make us look better I specifically said "nothing will be ommitted". We will tell our life story from our point of view.

Either we include a million secrets (so we can't write it) or we remove the secrets and thus make it basically propaganda, cherry-picking moments from our life. We'd probably include some things we're ashamed of, but still...

That's not a good idea, dude.
We have a crap ton of things we don't want people to know.
EDIT: I'd be down for a heavily edited autobiography at some point, but "nothing will be omitted" is basically spilling every last secret we've been trying to keep.

Ideally we would limit the discussion to what we think Viserys IC political ideas would be. Sort of a document to explain the foundational principles behind the Imperium's laws, but you are probably right that we wouldn't succeed at keeping irl debate out of a discussion like that.

What would Viserys put in a political manifesto?
- A ruler must deserve their position (IC belief)
- Democracy sucks (IC belief)
- Law and order is important (IC belief)
- But personal liberties are also important
- Also preserving innocent lives, giving opportunities to work and live decently, and if needed a basic safety net (concrete policy so far)
- Viserys is the best (duh)
- Magic is bae (duh)
- Shit's gonna hit the fan, but if we stand together we can loot it! Also survive. (WE CAN BE THE LIGHT! YEAH!!!)
- Ambition's great, but channel it through the Scholarum and not devil-cults!

Or we write it the way it happened not leaving anything out and have it be part of the "high security" section of our library or only have it released after our death and only those of our lineage are allowed access or something.
And? Have it be only for after we are dead or make it so only those of our lineage can access it.

Let's not create such a stupid vulnerability. If they want to know our life story they can use magic to figure it out. If they can't do that kind of magic then giving them the information is a security risk.
And we're never going to die.

We're not planning on dying for one thing, and leaving something like that written down will always have the chance that the information could leak somehow. If we need our children or grandchildren etc to know something we can just tell them.
This is why Bloodraven hasn't written down all his plans for us so we can help. Writing any of it down presents a potential leak.
