Report on Infernal Activities in Slaver's Bay
Author: Princess Daenerys Targaryen
Subject: Actions of the Cult of Asmodeus in Meereen and the wider Slaver's Bay area
Information Sources: Interrogation of the captive Unsullied and Brachina, divination to draw answers from the dead
Introduction and Context: Of the three devils that accompanied the Gogossos expedition the brachina was unfortunately the least knowledgeable both regarding the overall goals of the Lord of the Ninth and the journey to plumb the depths of the Flesh Forge. That is not of course to say he had no information, pleasure devils are nothing if not treacherous and inclined to intrigue and this one has refined it over millennia.
Don't recruit this one. I don't care what he offers, he's not worth it. He derives considerable enjoyment from the act of violation implicit in unwilling possession.
Goals of the Cult of Asmodeus: The creation of a deep foundation of worshipers not only among the elite but the slaves of the Ghiscari cities is by far the most obvious goal with many Unsullied regiments having been converted, often by apostate priests of the Lady of Spears who claim that their goddess is of will to be one of the High Lords of Hell, how much they themselves believe that is hard to determine. The possessed champion certainly did not serve anyone besides Asmodeus. Beyond that is is clear the cult does not intend to fight a war with mainly mortal armies supported by their own mages, even armies of converted fanatical Unsullied.
A significant portion of their study into the Flesh Forge in Gogossos has been into how to enhance mortals quickly using power drawn from this world rather than requiring access to the workings of Hell, however an army of flesh-forged soldiers wrought in some bastardized complex is not the most immediate threat. Rather it was the study into the ley line network itself, in which they seem to have recently gained some insight. The horned devil, highest of those present, suspected that this was to be used to open vast portals akin to the Whispering Gate in Mantarys, disgorging the armies of Hell upon the world. Thankfully that sort of wide-scale arcane engineering cannot be done quickly, so even if the servants of Asmodeus now possess the knowledge they cannot simply conjure Hell on Earth in an instant. I would suggest sending a significant expedition next month to reinforce efforts to create an inquisition base in Meereen.
Strength and Resources of the Cult: They have access to at a minimum three mages of the Seventh Circle, whom the brachina could identify by name, they divide their time between Hell and the Prime Material and were instrumental in bringing it into the world. Who or what had brought forth the stronger devils he did not know and the replies the bones gave were too cryptic to be of any use. One can infer that the diabolic presence in Slaver's Bay is limited mostly to fiends possessing skills of infiltration and persuasion, though high ranking cult members may possess guards they have bargained for.
Other Known Powers active in Slaver's Bay: There has been a systematic destruction of the Sons of the Harpy at least in Meereen and Yunkai, likely in other cities as well, not only by direct means but also by encouraging them through intrigue and trickery to launch attacks towards Mantarys and Tolos like the doomed naval invasion. According to the greater devils the Harpies are not considered a present threat, though given their Abyssal nature the devils do not exclude a resurgence given enough blood and chaos. The remaining political opposition to the cult is waning, though some of the slave masters have grown 'wise' enough to seek otherworldly patrons by selling slaves to the dominions of the Bloodstone Emperor through means as yet unknown.
Other places of Power and Treasures: Nothing new of note was learned here, the expedition to Gogossos was not 'fishing' for power but sought the secrets of the Forge for very specific ends.
Horned Devil's Mantle of Terror: Following Ser Richard's report that it felt the pressure of the devil's presence upon his mind I questioned the skull as to the means. Unfortunately the answer was as simple as it was unhelpful. It was an aspect of the devil's own prowess upon a thousand battlefields.
True Names Acquired: 1x Horned Devil, 2x Uniilas, 5x Ice Devils, 28x Erinyes.
OOC: The tone of the report is very intentionally less professional than say Malarys' because Dany does not have much experience with bureaucracy.
