[X] Vassalization Offer
-[X] OOC: Frame our offer to the Orphne Court as an opportunity to bind their story to our own, to the rise of the Imperium, and to its continued prosperity.
--[X] OOC: The Court of Shadows is new, as Fey Courts go, just as the Imperium is a new nation upon the Plane of Balance. Both are made up of much older beings/institutions/cities, but together they form something new and truly worthy of their tales.
-[X] We Offer:
--[X] Offer monetary aid on any of their current projects (within reason (hard cap of ~25,000 IM), and with the understanding that said aid may be delayed for a few months until we get the funds needed, though if it's 15,000 IM or less it can be given immediately).
--[X] 500 lbs. of Adamantine to use as they please (which we can fabricate for them as a finishing touch of this gift)
--[X] Five of Irony's half-gorgon offspring gifted to them so long as they promise they will be well cared for
--[X] Access to the Shadow Tower (provided the rules set by Lya and Teana are followed)
--[X] Access to the full library of lore that other vassals are granted access to (not runecrafting, Lya's soul-lore, or Heart Tree rituals, those three are very much a case-by-case basis), though we request lore on the Fey and Feywild in turn.
--[X] Full access to Sorcerer's Deep and thus the Terminus to markets in the Plane of Earth and the Plane of Air.
--[X] Recognition for the fey of the Orphne Court as mages of the Imperium with the benefits that entail (but also the responsibilities)
--[X] Eventually when our enchanters can manage, offer to craft the Orphne King a full set of gear (possibly months away, but still a notable offer)
--[X] The right to call on Viserys or the Companions if there is any dire emergency
-[X] We Ask
--[X] The same terms given to Moonsong -- vassalization for as long as the Imperium stands
--[X] Our laws are always to be heeded and followed.
--[X] The Orphne King continues to pass intel to us, just as he learned of the Court of Stars, though at a more accelerated pace, doing away with the payment of intel for intel. In return he will be kept up to date on all important things we learn which we share with our other vassals.
---[X] They will be asked to work closely with Garin and the Inquisition, as well as Alysande and the Silver Eye, along with cooperating with Imperial Officials in general.
---[X] OOC: While they will be expected to uphold the responsibilities of any vassal, including taxes whatever form they take, it should be kept in mind that they can in turn expect all the rights and rewards of being vassals (protection, aid in infrastructure, freedom of movement in the Imperium, etc).
--[X] What aid they can give in future wars as we expect of all our vassals (we ask out of necessity -- the coming wars are a matter of survival and we need to stand as one)
---[X] Promise you won't be needlessly reckless with their lives, but nonetheless they will be asked to do dangerous things.
-[X] Maidenpool Vote
--[X] Tyene will observe the pair of Golden Shield agents from afar, perusing their thoughts using
Brain Spider. She will seek to learn all she can of the agents themselves, what kind of magic they possess and how powerful it is, and what their true mission here in Maidenpool is.
Overall I believe this is a very good deal for them.
