@Azel - while I get the appeal of simplicity, I gotta say I'm a little disappointed we aren't taking this further. Whether by revealing some details of just how bad the situation was, or having them take another step towards effectively swearing themselves to us through making some sort of joint investigation ...

Man, wouldn't be a shame if something incriminating about Baelish was discovered before his mysterious disappearance?

Thing is, we are not revealing state secrets to anyone that is not under Mind Blank.

Like, for example, that we control half the court in King's Landing. That's something that will either be used by our enemies, or cause pants-shitting terror on every muggle around.
 
It turns out that, yes, we can turn the entire ruling council of Westeros into an ineffective farce(more than it already is) with nothing more than a hand wave if we really wanted to.

I'm all ears for proposals, but I would prefer to keep the amount of knowledge about all of this in non-mindblanked heads to an absolute minimum.
 
I just realized Viserys is wearing a Minor Artifact (Serpent's Sin Cloak) that holds two Major Artifacts (Crown of Flowers & Red Orb of Dragonkind).

He's the most valuable dragon in existence.

I like that were being straightforward here. We don't need to scheme and plot every time (though I do love me a good scheme). Sometimes it's nice to simply show our superiority through blisteringly effective hyper-competence at everything. Viserys is the ideal philosopher king, showing that off feels nice.

I find this genuinely heartwarming.

Well, the goal of this little farce would be to make the Manderlys take yet another step towards officially working for us, in both fact and word. We'll be nodding gravely at Ser Wendel's statement and stating that we had suspected something along those lines. Not a word will be breathed about us infiltrating the Small Council.

We then recommend that they send someone to King's Landing in order to hunt down the suspect, possibly by coordinating with our agents, and set up a trail of breadcrumbs to incriminate Baelish as the mastermind. Bloodraven will handle the matter and ensure the knowledge gets out at a convenient moment and/or also exposing how closely the Manderly's have been working with us.
 
For what it's worth I would very much prefer we don't do what LW just lined out. It's a good scheme, but I much prefer the message "Good work tracking that down, already handled it." Gets across.

Edit: Especially the part where we set up a double cross on the Manderys to reveal they've been working with us (presumably to force thier hand in turning their cloaks) that just feels pointlessly shitty and petty to do when they came to us for help. I get the logic, I just don't feel like it's needed or justified.

If she tried that most of them would say "Nah, fuck that" because they're Chromatic Dragons and that's how they roll. So chances are she'll just keep them away as backup plans.
She could either keep them in the dark so they don't know what they're up against, or just promise them our hoard when we're dead.

And she has more than Chromatic Dragons -- we know she has an Old Shadow Dragon somewhere.
