@TalonofAnathrax, speaking of pictures, have a Legionaire:

Legionnaires have cloaks? And wield swords that aren't thinblades? The armor seems good (although this is a rather ornate helmet design) but the picture doesn't even convey the whole "fight as a unit" thing.
:/
I'll leave Legionnaires to the existing Legionnaire explanatory tab. It's quite good!

I posted a picture for Malarys some time ago that I thought was spot on for him.

Oh, show me a link and I'll add it!
I've struggled to find anything good for Malarys.

I'll have to find it after work today, give me a couple of hours?

You can also check through my posts using Malarys as a keyword, looking for ones I posted images in?

Re: Cloaks

Cloaks are part of the Legion dress uniform, they probably leave them out in combat.
 
Okay so a thing to note.

1. Upon securing Volantis we can funnel Orphan blood colonizers into the Rhoyne. This is mostly to make sure that the Rhoynish ghosts dont destroy us and to get access to rhoynish loot with blood. That and get the lady Rhone on our side, we do not want to piss her off.

Other than that @DragonParadox what are the mechanics for the weirwood spears? Can they trap spirits of the undead, because if they can we have a way to hunt down undead and ghosts.

My plan was actually have them go to Ghoyan Drohe, the city nearest to Andalos, to serve as a counterweight to Volantene influence in the region.

@Crake, is this the post you're talking about?
I can't see the second image, but I like the first.

Those pics are amazing. Especially that last one. I am going to quote it for eveyone.
Crake said:
So I've been looking for art to match up some people... like say, Malarys.




I tried looking for a Dany picture that was youngish-looking but there are a lot of them that give her a too 'ordinary' look, which might make sense for a young girl who hasn't grown into her later beauty, but our Dany has an elfin quality that makes her clearly "other", and I think I found one that matches it.

That last one needs to be somewhere in the first few chapters....

Maybe make her a little less blue? She's able to pass as a mostly normal human, you know.

Like I said, my PC's colors are shit. As if my own eyes need any problems with distinguishing these :/

I probably won't be able to make it "less blue", because then it starts to blend in with the original for me :(

Three Daughters All in a Row: In an astonishing turn of events that has many speaking the name of Aegon Targaryen first of that name, the the Dragon King of Tyrosh won Myr by honeyed words and Lys by the sword. While many point to this to prove that his ambitions are aimed towards the east, many wonder at the network of wondrous bridges that spans throughout the Stepstones. Would they not be even more effective if they could reach Westeros, reforging the Arm of Dorne? Dorne itself certainly has no love of the Stag King.

That was quick. I thought it would take a bit longer for them to get news of that.

Sophisticated spy networks. Also I get the impression that was news circulating from ACSEC and merchants corresponding with each other in respective cities effected. Which is to say all of them.

News travels fast in the cities we have trade contacts with.
 
@DragonParadox Would a Weirwood tree with trap the soul, Polymorph any object, and a spell to merge a soul with a body work for reviving the undead Sarnori?(we don't have a specific spell for merging soulgems with bodies, but we have the ritual from when we resurrected Amrelath, and if it can be accomplished by ritual, then it should also be within the power of the right spell) and if it would work, would 2 willing sacrifices, be a sufficient payment for the revival of 1 of them this way?

And yes I recognize that by this way, the revived will have to avoid dispelling magic, on pain on turning into whatever animal was polymorphed into their new body, but I'm sure they can live with that risk, if it mean they get to live.

How far away is Essos from Westeros? What Viserys did was huge deal, so I'm not surprised it spread so quickly, but I figured the distance would slow it down. Unless, magic was a factor.

My main problem is that while I am fine with Volantis having a few cities built there, as I was thinking of turning the Rhoyne into its own governorship, the river goddess herself might be, shall we say, none too pleased with Valyrian scions living in her lands. We may need to negotiate something with the goddess over that region. After all there is more than one way for a river to kill a man and more than a couple in the hands of a goddess

That was an Eastern rumor. So we haven't yet gotten much of a Westerosi reaction to the conquest, just an Essosi one.

Isn't that the truth? no mention of mind control or just foul magics in general? I'm disappoint, rumormongers.

Well the Narrow Sea is... Narrow, so it doesn't take that long for news to travel. Magic is also a factor, since Braavos for one certainly got the news by brazier. Westeros will probably get the news when the next ship leaving from Braavos makes it to a port there.

You are right about that. Guess we have the really outrageous bullshit to look forward to next rumor mill.

Have we ever actually met or heard of any such river goddess? Do we have any indication she still exists and is active? Even if she does exist, she'll be severely weakened to the point that we won't exactly have to tiptoe around her in order to survive or colonize the region, and even assuming she'd be willing to let bygones be bygones and submit to the new Valryian Empire, she certainly wouldn't be worth alienating Volantis who fought tooth and nail to claim and cleanse the lands, and have already started settling it.

Why negotiate? What could we offer that we'd be willing to break precedent for and not offer to other deities? The Valyrians destroyed her people as a culture. Even if we pledge to see it restored in some manner by settling some of her faithful there, we would have to get them to accept that the Volantenes do not carry on the legacy of Valyria... which is exactly what Zherys and his ruling faction want to do. Restore Valyria.

Even if we also somehow manage to convince them that these are relics that will wash to dust in the ages, that counts on them taking us at our word/trusting we'll be around to see it happen.

I say just convince our Rhoynish expatriates to worship something more sensible and then pick a fight with whatever avatar they whip up, if they even have the juice for it, then feed it to our Tree Gods.
 
I just figured out how to give our people some access to reincarnation, without getting excessive population increase problems, make Heart trees with Cyclical reincarnation on them, with the sacrifice cost being 2 willing sacrifices, who the old gods will flip a coin and reincarnate the winner, it's rather savage of course, but it at least mean that any old peasant have a chance at a second life.

It's kind of cold, but it would be something you choose, so you would only do it once you were old enough, that a 50% chance at a second life seems worth a 50% chance of death.

Plus you know, we don't actually have that many Rhoynish expatriates, most of them assimilated in Dorne and now worship the Seven, which is a different problem.
