[X] Spread the following rumor: Rhaellas return is clearly a miracle granted by the Mother, both for her heartfelt desire to return to her children and as a favor bestowed by the Seven on Viserys Targaryen to dispel the vicious rumors and godless hatred leveled at him by those parts of the Faith that have taken to preach with Lannister gold instead of the Seven Pointed Star.

Let's test our rumoring and counter-rumoring abilities now, then :drevil:

@Azel, I've lost count at this point, what points of interest are active for us at Faith summit next month?

Oh come on, that's stupid.

We are trying to educate the people.
Two of our friends can raise the (long) dead and we can for now raise the recently dead.
That will come out, with people like the Dornish part of our family, with the Redwyne and with the Darrys and with Rango and so on and on.

Just admit that it's no big deal and people will eventually get over it.

Edit: The Fey and the devils can Rezz too and some Burny clerics like Benerro and Mel.
Propably Lucan too.
Every mage worth mentioning can tell you it doesn't take a miracle.

You are missing the point. This is Anti-Seven propaganda. We have a great opportunity to sow division in the Faith and should use it.

This is something that can be easily proven wrong.

Again, every priest that matters can make a Commune "Mom, did you raise the Targ?".
If find an attempt to make up such blantant lies about actually living people (okay god-people) who can deny the rumors stupid.

No. Just...just no. This is a bad idea. A really bad one, given that there are agents of the Seven capable of flat up disproving it. I also really do not like the idea of putting our mother in the sights of a hostile set of divinities like this will do.

Good lord I'm agreeing with @Artemis1992 now.

First thing, it does not matter one bit that the Seven or a cleric can disprove it. We can just as easily disprove that she was brought back by making her a new body from dead babies and then paying a few dozen souls to Asmodeus to fetch her soul for us, yet we still don't want that narrative to take hold.

What matters is getting the inertia of a rumor that doesn't hurt us, but does hurt our enemies.

Second thing, endangering her? Seriously?
She is a target by being associated by us already. A target for the Illithid, the Abyss, Abbaddon, Tiamat, all of Baator and the Seven.
And you honestly think that spreading a lie about the way she came back will put her more in the crosshairs?

I'm sure her becoming the Chosen of the Mother would have absolutely zero consequences for her as a stable and functioning person.

When the lie gets shown as one, which it will, we will lose our credibility to make that argument. This is an overstep, and if we use it, it will make what was a desperation move for Mammon's agents suddenly far more capable of hurting us.

That isn't smart.

-[X] We brought her back, some powerful mages can bring back willing souls from the dead. In markets like Embra's home you can even buy scrolls to allow lesser mages to do it.
-[X] It is, strange as it may seem, no greater miracle than any other work of magic and does not require any particular price besides very expensive gems.

You are being a helicopter mom for literally no reason. DP confirmed that Rhaella would have to be willing to take that post. This is just pointless fearmongering.

Which is why we will spread it as a deniable rumor without offering any official narrative.

Everyone and their mother is spreading blatantly retarded rumors about us without any negative effects for them, so why should starting our own misinformation campaign suddenly be the one and only time such a thing fails?

I suggest you reread Rhaella's grounding motivation in her new life.

We live in a world where Divination spells are a thing. Deniability no longer exists.
 
See, as long as we don't publicly lie about this thing, it would work wonders to sow misinformation.

Mainly because if the knowledgeable people could easily access the masses to correct this misinformation, Westeros wouldn't be talking about Demons in Hell of all things.

Westeros is a bunch of uneducated people ready to be used by us. We just need to start the narrative to do so.
 
I don't mind subterfuge, @Azel, but I don't think it is warranted in this particular instance. Honesty here, when false claims can be so easily proven inaccurate, is just good sense.

I would rather maintain a reputation for honesty, even when the truth is less than helpful, so that when we need to tell a really outrageous lie it will be likely to be accepted as truth.
 
...What is wrong with staying silent and starting up a bunch of rumors, which we can do discreetly enough, and sowing yet more discord among the Seven?
No, literally, I don't see the reason for helicoptering here no matter what the angle.
There's no need for us to be under scrutiny if we aren't saying anything?
:/
 
Why not both? Officially state that Rhaella was willingly brought back by powerful magic, and secretly spread various rumors on what really happened (gift from the Seven, homunculus taking Rhaella's form, etc.) Keep our enemies guessing.
 
@Azel
Maybe make the simple and impossible to disprove ( since nobody can divine Bloodraven and Dany really could rezz her by now) story our official version.

While letting deniable agents far away, maybe in KL, start the other rumor. Order for such a thing given under Mindblank of course.
