Isn't the whole point of this loot that it basically defends itself? It's trapped and guarded by undead and monsters, it's in the middle of a deadly jungle...Yeah. Having it guard the ancient ruins full of major loot for example.

I see it as more than worth it, considering the returns we'd be getting from said tiny snake tribe and the sorts of treasures they could guide us to.Each Herald is a massively expensive deathmachine. Surely we have better things to do with each one than having it guard a tiny snake tribe !
My point was that it doesn't have to be now, they can get a Herald later when we have more of them.We have three Heralds.
One is going on the Yi-Ti expedition, one will accompany Siduri on the Golden Wind, and the third has yet to be assigned a specific duty.
We need to offer Blood-Wished fertility. That is a major bargaining chip and we're missing out if we don't use it.[X] Offer the protection of vassalage
-[X] Offer Riz'Neth, as the mortal leader of his fellow Serpentfolk, the opportunity to become our vassal. This will come with official recognition and Imperial assistance, including material support to further restore their home as well as to construct a new settlement as he desires. We will also provide Legion soldiers and other specialists to help guard their homes.
--[X] The Serpentfolks are too few in number and their community too small to justify the construction of a new Scholarium branch there. That may change in the future as their population grows. For now, however, those Serpentfolk inclined to learn magic are welcome to attend Scholarium branches which have already been established.
Ah. That makes sense. Though no reason not to establish a branch in his settlement as a research outpost.I meant "classes" as "batch of 100 students". Editing post for clarity.
Basically my point is that most students should learn in SD, where they can benefit from our amazing Philosopher's Tree.
That complicates matters as it's thus likely out of Teleport range from the Basilisk Isles.*looks at map again*
Yes towards Great Moraq, it's a decent ways off from Yi Ti. Remeber you guys got there by teleportation and flight.
Added to the plan, along with assigning the third Herald to guard their community and the associated ruins.We need to offer Blood-Wished fertility. That is a major bargaining chip and we're missing out if we don't use it.
Nothing on the planet is out of our Teleportation range, though the folks limited to the 5th level Teleport spell might need a waypoint, which we can easily establish.That complicates matters as it's thus likely out of Teleport range from the Basilisk Isles.
That's what I meant. We might want to wait with large material shipments until the Moonchaser is done. It's perfect for this.Nothing on the planet is out of our Teleportation range, though the folks limited to the 5th level Teleport spell might need a waypoint, which we can easily establish.

@DragonParadox, has Riz'Neth gotten himself any notable minions?
Does he have a personal murderbeast from the painted lizards he's been gathering? Perhaps an Allosaurus mount?
Also, taking care of Yss' first children sends also a message to our snake gods. And anyone else non-human.Yeah. Having it guard the ancient ruins full of major loot for example.

@Azel - do they already have a Brazier?

It's not like he has to deal with Jorah's presence, the wall is big, there are multiple forts, Jorah don't need to be stationed at castle Black, if Jeor don't want to see Jorah too much, he can just send him somewhere else.I still hope he picks Ice over the Wall. Jeors last wish in canon was Jorah redeeming himself by taking the black, but I don't think the old guy will really be able to deal with Jorahs presence.
If he want more of his specie, he could always do what the CoTF have begun doing, and find people who are ready to reincarnate into his specie, the price isn't exactly low at 200 IM per reincarnation, but if he choose to go for offering it to old people with a few levels, then it's a fair price, he can probably find a fair few old warriors or hunters, who are okay with their second life being as snakemen, if that mean they will get a second life, and if they are even 4th level,(so they will be 3th level post reincarnation) then 200 IM to get them in his tribe is a good deal.OOC: A bit of a short chapter mostly because I need to know the main direction of your arguments—going straight for vassalage, or trying to build more interdependence? Also the conversation above is all in thought-speech but I intentionally did not use italics to make it easier to read.
Is he by the way?
If they were effectively immortal, there would be more Serpentfolk now and their civilization wouldn't keep recovering only to fall a few centuries later.[X] Azel
Is he by the way?
He's centuries old and shows no signs of physical weakness so far. How long is normal for his kin?
Yes, which is why I'm thinking that this guy in particular might have some way of extending his life, or just be different from his kind in more than the obvious ways.If they were effectively immortal, there would be more Serpentfolk now and their civilization wouldn't keep recovering only to fall a few centuries later.
