[] The Secret of Life and Death: Analyze the lore obtained from Lord Bolton and Qyburn and see to bring the efforts made by the ex-maester to their conclusion, creating undead creatures that neither spread decay, nor need the constant attention of a skilled mage.(Progress 25, Cost 30,000 IM)
-[] Qyburn – The Secret of Life and Death
--[] Elaheh Marita (Kyton Fleshsmith) – The Secret of Life and Death (Assisting Qyburn – bonus 1d6 for fleshcrafting project applicable?)
--[] Stepstones - Research (Scholarum) - assisitng Qyburn.
--[] Mercy of the Soul - assisting Qyburn
Why? I'm being very serious here. Why are we even doing this? Why do we need undead legions? We can ake plant legions out of corpses, which is clearly better than undead legions.
A suggestion : send the Kython Fleshmith to help with Vee's research. Use the others to help research Project Praetorian, or use the Fleshmith to "Research Cosmetic Variations of Leshies" (it(s an option, and would immensely improve their PR and useability).
[] The Godhunter: The fortress-ruin that held the Orb of Dragonkind still holds leashed power unlike anything you've ever sensed, but it remains dormant for now. With time, it might be possible to reconstruct the controls of that power, and with proper preparation use it as a weapon to slice away part of a god. (Progress: 16)
-[] Valeria – The Godhunter
--[] Lady Saenna – The Godhunter (Assist Valeria)
This is good, and I like it.
[] Forge of Creation: With Anu having finally restored the ritual necessary for creation of his kin, much may change... But for now, that is but a single ritual. To truly bring his people to life, something yet grander Is needed.
-[] Organise a magi-industrial complex capable of producing Warforged en-mass.(Progress: 30)
-[] Anu – Forge of Creation
--[] Svitran – Forge of Creation (Assist Anu)
Not sure why this is needed, beyond the rule of cool. Is it worth the effort? Will they fight for us? The ethical implications are terrible, too. At least Leshies are free spirits who willingly took bodies and came to serve us : Warforged are basically sentient beings created solely to fight and die (and if not, they're probably often a waste of money).
[] Weaving Deepest Veils: Research the lore promised by Fey of Orphne court, wards capable of evading even a god's eye... even if not a perfect defense all by themselves. (Progress: 18 Cost: 11,000 IM)
-[] Lya – Weaving Deepest Veils
This is an important action, but wouldn't she want help to finish faster? Couldn't we toss in Qyburn here, for example?
[] The Broken Pact: With many an Outsider now being a part of your Empire, developing ways of breaking them off the influence of their home planes may be a good idea.
-[] Break off Barghests from Hells (Progress: 5; Cost: ??)
-[] Velen - The Broken Pact (Barghests) (Progress 5)
I want to use Velen for this :
[] Singers upon the flaming sea: Train phoenixes to safely harvest Fire Whale Gems for the betterment of both the pods and your own treasury, as well as setting up a safe trade route for all the gems
Action: Administration
Progress: 15
Cost: 10,000 IM
Upkeep: None (Will turn a profit)
[] The Tree Connection: While the Old Gods gave you what they remember about their beginning, the knowledge retained within the first dreams is still vague and hard to grasp for mortal minds. However, by examining the magic imbued in a Heart Tree both in the physical and other planes, you might be able to deepen your understanding of their true nature. It will be slow work though, as you can hardly take a tree apart for dissection.(Progress: 30, Cost: 50,000 IM)
-[] Vee – The Tree Connection
--[] Naria – The Tree Connection (assisting Vee)
Vee really has been doing quite enough Research... Can't this wait a month? I'd love for her help in the East !
[] TO BE DETERMINED - Force/Sonic Cannon Research
-[] Beryl
Why? I wish that we didn't have to do this now. It isn't urgent at all ! Our weapons are decent already!
[] Gold and Shadow: The Fleet sailing to Yi Ti is your main counter to the Golden Company, but it is slow in coming, perhaps it would be best to send a set of eyes ahead, a set of hands too to tangle their plans
-[] Assigned: Tyene, Garin, Waymar, Erinyes (x2)
Vee should go too...
[] Sober Truth: Deal with the darker elements of the the Cult of Zargreus once and for all, whether it be merely perilous excess or something worse
-[] Assigned: Glyra and Roaming Chaos, Teana, Sandor, Herald (x1), Guardian Naga (x1), Anya the Inquisitor, Mia the Inquisitor, Azema, Nuri, Argo, Erinyes (x5), additional military and Scholarium forces (including Minotaur Fighters)
Can Teana do this while teaching ? Teleport is great, I guess.
[] Goblins in order: Bring the Goblin market into accordance with the law of the realm before any of your citizens can be harmed though malice or ignorance
-[] Assigned: Malarys, Richard, Xor, Rina, Harbinger, Guardian Nagas (x2), Erinyes (x5), Fey Guide(s) from the Orphne Court
I wouldn't take Orphne Court (they were recently a rival power), but would instead add in Viserys. This is technically almost conquest, after all : he should be there for it.
Worst case, take Glyra ! Or did she go to Yi-Ti ?
