Mind Blank was a typo, same question for Mindsight. I understand it's a feat but what's the impetus?
Dragonblooded non-sorcerers still have Dragon Dreams.
Edit:
DP said it better as usual.
Excellent, thanks DP. I was curious about her own flavour of Dream but it's equally cool that they share that.

Mindsight is a fairly natural feat for Pseudodragons. It utilizes their telepathy into a survival skill, which comes in handy quite a bit in the jungles of Sothoryos.

As long as we explain this clearly to Yss, and measure his reaction first. I'm guessing he'll be alright with it but I want to make sure (and keep your relationship open).
Edit: Oh, sorry didn't realise that the vote had closed. Crossed out my vote.

[] Leave things as they are and continue with your plans - the remaining cultists of Trios would be of no consequence to your deal with Yss if they would be beyond boundaries of Garden.

Part MMCMXIV: Of Oaths Forsworn and Kept
Of Oaths Forsworn and Kept
Fourth Day of the Tenth Month 293 AC
After some thought on the matter you set the law book aside and with it let the matter lie. The laws of the Djinn are older by far than your deal with Yss, and neither do the wind-lords recognize your authority. To ask that you would prevent them from accepting the worshipers of Trios would be well beyond the limits of the pact you have made with Yss. Moreover, it is not as though the knowledge you have just gleamed would be open to any lingering priests of Trios. Long is the path to Armun Kelisk and few will be the ones with the knowledge to step upon it.
Though you and Lya consider heading out at once to the Opaline Vault to trade the remainder of the Adamantine and see what arcane treasures the Jewel of the Peerless Empire may hold, you decide in the end to forestall your journey. In part this is in order to trade the shipment through House Adjar and Lady Zanira has asked for time to gather the funds necessary for the transaction, though another concern in wishing to meet with the Adamantine Dragon Darleth the Delver, rumored to be an engineer of arcane protections. Yet neither you nor Lya have the time to search out the path to the dragon's current home through the records of the Peerless Empire. Thus you leave the matter in the hands of the local Astral Currents officials just as you do the preamble to the trade before heading home, or at least to the world of your birth.

Rather than the bright sun shinning over the Deep, you head instead to the Vale. Tyene had sent word of the success at Heart's Home, the capture of Ser Lyn Corbray, and so it is that 'Brother Dywen' stands again before the gates of Grafton Keep awaiting entrance. The sights and sounds of Gulltown drift around you, mule trains trotting upon the cobbles, the chatter of craftsmen and merchants plying their trade, and from the water's edge the calls of fishermen announcing their catch. How very different from that dream of blood and fire, and so it shall remain. The blood of the Devil-bound knight will wash away if not the guilt of the sacking of Gulltown then at least the anger of the Old Gods and thus assure the port remains untouched by war.
What tales Danar Crowl spins to his goodfather you know not, though it is clear the groundwork was well laid and the singer's silver tongue carries the lord over the last moment of hesitation. A lord of an Andal conqueror's line shall spill the blood of another before the roots of a Weirwood Heart Tree in honor of the Old Gods. A crow perched in an old linden tree gives a caw that might have been mistaken for a laugh.
"Now all we need is a tree," Danar proclaims, a satisfied smile just shy of a full fledged grin upon his face. "We could just raise one here of course, but they have a saying in Westeros these days that Your Grace may not have heard yet, 'red leaves, red wings'. The mark of a dragon a new-grown Heart Tree is."
"There are godswoods in the mountains, too," Alysa Grafton offers. Unlike her husband she is not smiling as she says it. Though she had made peace with her path, it is clear she bears no love of the clansmen, servants of the Old Gods or no.
"We could do it at Runestone too, hit two bird with one arrow as they say," Tyene offers. "Who better than the likes of Lyn Corbray to accustom Lord Royce to the notion that some deaths should serve a higher purpose than to feed the crows?"
"The man is a Devil worshiper certainly, but he was a knight before that and looks the part. I'm not sure..."
"'Ser' Lyn deserves that title about as much as Gregor Clegane does, and that was long before he met any Devil," your friend cuts you off with surprising vitriol.
"What did he do?" you ask, concerned, expecting some further tangle.
"He had a predilection for young boys. That's how the Devils snared him at first." Tyene's gaze darkens, and she gives a small shudder. "I would really rather not talk about it. We rescued all we could after I picked the knowledge of where to find them out of his head. They have been sent back to their families or to an orphanage in the Deep when that was not possible."
Where do you instruct Lord Grafton to make his sacrifice?
[] Grow a new tree in his keep, adding another gesture of appeasement to the Old Gods
-[] Write in effects
[] Pick out a godswoods of the Clansmen, they did help with both hunting devils and persuading Lord Grafton
[] Water Runestone's godswood with blood and in so doing strengthen the loyalist sentiment in the Vale and bring it closer to the Old Gods, perhaps easing the integration of the Mountain Clans
-[] Write in
OOC: I thought about doing the Vault trade back to back, but then I remembered that it would take time to get the information on Darleth so that would actually be more jumping around. Instead you guys can see Corbray die, then move on to talking Lord Royce, then Doran, and finally back to the Plane of Earth to trade and talk to the Adamantine Dragon before Sothoryos.

I agree it fits in well with their natural Telepathy, but why didn't the whole flight have it originally?
I was just curious if there was more to it to explain that.

For the purposes of my omake, it was a fight-or-flight situation. The ones that didn't manage to retrain to have it in Sothoryos died like flies. I'm honestly not sure if the others are still alive, @DragonParadox will need to comment on that.

Hmm, now this seems tricky. Each has it's own benefits and dangers....
Personally I would like to just grow one somewhere out of the way in the south or somewhere our rebels can make use of it.
Or maybe grow it somewhere close to our newly minted vassal's area but not so close it would warrant suspicion....
If that is a saying that is gaining traction do we need to fear the Fat King declaring all weirwoods to be burnt and torn down or maybe just having an open bounty for their trees?
Also it is only NEWLY GROWN trees that are immune to fire. The older trees and those already grown are still vulnerable to it....

Grafton can't grow a tree in his godswood. He's trying not to be lynched by his neighbors. This needs to be done in secret.
Best to do the sacrifice a tree of the clansmen and further emphasize there are bigger enemies for them to worry about than each other.

-[X] Do what you can to put emphasis on greater threats in the world to fight against than each other

We do that already?
Also if we did they can still be chopped down and thus my point stands.

We'll eventually research for them to get DR.

I don't think this is wise. This is something that should be done in secrecy to avoid the Faith turning increased scrutiny on the Vale.
Also one of Grafton's big worries was that his neighbors could target him over this. He outright requested secrecy.

What if we just outright ask him what he prefers? Is that acceptable, @DragonParadox?
[X] Where does Grafton wish to see his enemy sacrificed to the Old Gods? Suggest the following for consideration;
-[X] One of the the Godswoods of the Clansmen, they did help with both hunting devils and persuading Lord Grafton
-[X] Water Runestone's Godswood with blood and in so doing strengthen the loyalist sentiment in the Vale and bring it closer to the Old Gods, perhaps easing the integration of the Mountain Clans
He would pick the first, the second would require some persuasion.

The vote is only for the Trios cult, and any that flee to the Djinn really stop being a problem, knowledge of how gods work is common enough there, that they are unlikely to find new members, as people will recognize that there's no actual Trios, so if the remnants of Trios cult flee to the Djinn, the cult will likely die out in a few generations.

Okay, that's cool. Even if we know it's a foregone conclusion, presenting a couple good options for him give Grafton the illusion of choice. He's already becoming our ally, but it doesn't hurt to bind him just a little bit more tightly to us through good will.
I'm currently reorganizing the magical materials you guys have in the hopes of making them more noticeable and thus more used but I can't find the links to two Azite steel and Dreamstone. Does anyone remember what they are supposed to do?

This link has info for Aszite. Not sure if it's the same stuff, though. It has Dreamstone, too.
