Your ripostes have been pretty weak and uninspired lately, much like your riots.
That you now try one of the lamest meta-attacks possible is just confirming my suspicions.

Are you not well? Do you want a baguette and some wine? Maybe a white flag to keep you warm?
We do worry about you over here. If you get sick, who are we going to talk with in the future? The lazy creep in the south? The lazy poor people that make up the rest of the south? That constantly drunken asshole Finland?
You call our riots uninspiring? That's because they aren't riots!
No, they're peaceful protests where the cops drown the crowd in tear gas and bullets until enough people have been maimed that the crowd chickens out and goes home. Meanwhile a group of ten madlads attacks the cops and goes on the news all day.
Latest news today is the president telling an elderly injured woman "I wish you a good recovery, and also for you to gain wisdom. When you're fragile, you don't go to a protest where the [militarized] riot police might charge the [peaceful] crowd! I can't tell you why they did it (despite the multiple videos of the scene from media and protesters) but there must have been something to make the cops attack the peaceful, elderly protesters in this provincial french town".

And as for the rest of your post... Well, I'm happy to share your stereotypes about the rest of Europe (except Finland), but I'm appalled by your offer of "help". Wine and baguette together? Seriously?
Well, I can't expect any better from a country that's proud of sticking sausages in its croissants.

"I can't tell you why they did it..."

It's because they're thugs.

And Governments are just the biggest crime syndicates.

No, I'm not a blowhard, that's just reality.

And we have to live in it.
 
I have something a bit more radical in mind.

You're turning them Human, aren't you? Actually Mortal at the very least.

I can see the narrative myself even.

Long lost cousins who fled last Winter, changed by the realms they then called home, newly returned with only Stories binding them to their old Humanity. They try to show how much joy their own state of being is and encourage the Reachers to change.

Instead we use that very idea of "mortals becoming more feylike" to stab them with a daggar of mortality so they start becoming more humanlike.

Jokes aside for a moment:
If you government is using violence to suppress peaceful protests, then I you have your problem right there.
You are still peacefully protesting instead of actually rioting.
 
Regarding Crimson Lotus, I wanted to see if we could modify his memory and turn him into different types of Fey.

Also I was wondering if we could recover his memory of the Dawn Age somehow.

By the way, in the future, if we get a chance to capture a Mythic Fey of the Court of Stars, they would make an excellent book.
 
Level up proposal for Moonsong.

Swapping out Mesmerizing Glare for Tongues because she has much better options now for AoE mindfuckery. Tongues is great for Moonsong for several reasons, including allowing her to communicate with people in new locales. That's important for a captain in her position, and as a Bard with strong social skills and spells to enhance that. Learning Dispel Magic further rounds out Moonsong's skills as a mage and will be well worth the investment as she and her crew encounter more dangerous foes.

[] Moonsong Level Up
-[] Class: +1 Bard
-[] Skills(8 points): +1 Diplomacy, +1 Perform(Comedy), +2 Profession(Officer), +4 Sense Motive
-[] Spells:
--[] 2nd Level:
---[] Retrain: Mesmerizing Glare >>> Tongues
--[] 3rd Level: Dispel Magic

And here's the Pages of Spell Knowledge I intend to include as part of her winnings. Since she already had several pieces of gear that would have been awarded to her, the resources can instead be invested into other items, like these PoSK.

Level 1: Cultural Adaptation, Friendly Face, Moment of Greatness, Shield
Level 2: Elation

Cultural Adaptation and Friendly Face just further enhance Moonsong's social abilities, Shield improves her defenses by a good margin, and Moment of Greatness and Elation are both really great spells she can use to enhance her entire crew prior to conflict.
 
Good night guys see you in the morning with jousting, the last mage duel and some more from the knights you sent agents after. Thankfully @LonelyWolf999 reminded me I'd let them slide off the radar with the Florent affair.
Speaking about things we forgot, When would be a good moment to talk with Silore? There was talk to giving her a legal claim to her lands in-thread, but then we kinda just forgot about it.

Tell me about it :/
Still, that's why the protests have been going on for so long. Weekly protests by tens of thousands of people lasting for over 4 months? That's insane in Europe!

And the minister of the interior (head of security forces) and head of police have been saying things like "anyone participating in a protest will be considered complicit if anyone else throws a rock as a cop" or "the police are tired, there'll be more maimings today". And of course media coverage is all about a minority of thugs (as in, I saw 25 all morning the other day while there were tens of thousands of protesters on the boulevard... Yeah) and clearly favor the government's line (seeing the their owners are personal friends with Macron, this isn't exactly surprising). None of this helps. Who knows if these are violent protests or not? Unless you came to see this weeks' protests yourself, you certainyl won't be able to tell from the news.

Anyway, back on topic: Are we going to be offering Moonsong lands? she certainly won't want them... I kind of want to offer Aemon Naremos lands in Draconys (near Valyria, to fight the monsters) anyway. Thoughts?
99% certain we could talk Moonsong into straight-up giving them to him for the show, too.
 
Would now be a good time to introduce Moonsong to the Wyvern Fighters and the plans for the Moonchaser? @Azel?

The fighters' final upgrades won't be done until next month, but they are fully functional and should prove a good example of what the Moonchaser will be capable of in a roundabout manner.

She'll be leaving soon on the expedition to Yi-Ti, but that shouldn't last more than three or four months. When she returns, the Moonchaser will be waiting for her and her crew. That should be a powerful incentive to not only swear herself into our service in perpetuity, but also to begin forming her own Fey Court/Crew.

Riot more, riot frequently, riot often, suborn the military-industrial complex...mm. Sounds like we all need a Washington or Sulla (a crazy bugger who nevertheless will stand down from power).

I'm hoping for a combination of eternal fealty from Moonsong along with having bards very, very strongly tie her story with the Imperium.

As for Aemon Naremos... show him the Hall of Horrors and the Larder. Seriously, that will have the man salivating.

All he needs to do is prove that he's skilled enough to make something worthwhile out of our resources. We'd be fine diverting corpses to him so long as he's good at what he does.

Hall of Horrors? That has a nice ring to it. Certainly better than "trophy room".
