-[] Strategic Turn Plan Proposal for the 11th Month 293 AC - AKA Crake Takes A Victory Lap
-[] Military
--[] The 1st Legion, "Torchbearers", under command of General Torchwood, Colonel Flowers and Dragonlord Nettles will continue Enforcing Martial Law over the Western Flatlands.
--[] The 2nd Legion, "Chainbreakers", garrisons Braavos in anticipation of future attacks.
---[] Two Batteries of Steam Cannons are constructed and installed in a series of harbor-based Bastions spread throughout the approach to the city proper, with quays big enough for a small ship to dock.
---[] Plans are drawn to rapidly seal or fortify approaches by the bay into the city from canals or the harbor through use of construction items at-need. Fallback positions will be organized in an absolute crisis with the assumption of a worst case scenario--a train of civilians evacuated out onto the mainland, facilitated by a two-way easily defended highway which will eventually link up to the rest of the network.
---[] It is, grimly, accepted that this would only save a fraction of the city if the Legion ever fell back that far, more if they fought to the last.
---[] Appoint a General selected from a pool of candidates brought forward by High Command (currently a council of only one General, key advisers, and more Senior colonels). While a former slave with the right credentials would be preferable, if none are educated enough or experienced enough at present, another candidate will be selected.
--[] The 3rd Legion, "Brightscales", runs "military exercises" along the border, actually patrolling.
---[] Do not appoint a General for this Legion yet. 1st Column Colonel assumes command.
--[] The 4th Legion, "Steel Tigers", ship out from Volantis to garrison the fastness of Gorgossos, where a fortress centered around the Leyline Tree is being constructed rapidly, and where a battery of ten Steam Cannons will be installed this month.
---[] A Volantene General suggested by Zherys for competence and inclination toward the meritocratic nature of the Legion will meet Crown appointment during an official ceromony, taking over their first command to follow.
---[] A harbor is repaired and given a smaller but no less well defended and fortified garrison, to base Saan's fleet for local patrols.
--[] The 5th Legion, as yet unnamed, begins to take final shape in Westhaven.
----[] Consultation meeting with Darleth the Delver takes place to discuss Leylines, Operation Efreeti Bait and the Capital's defenses. Will allow for an opening for him to beg off meeting if more examinations need to occur, or near the start of the month if he has enough data already.
-----[] Westhaven retrains 6,000 Levies into 6,000 Legionnaires.
-----[] Greater Volantis retrains 4,500 Levies into 4,500 Legionnaires.
-----[] Tolos retrains 1,500 Levies into 1,500 Legionnaires.
-----[] Braavos retrains 2,100 Levies into 2,100 Legionniares.
-----[] Lys and Myr train an additional 2,000 Men-At-Arms to acts as garrisons.
------[] Garrisons from reorganized Imperial Military officially create formal Reservists Program, drawing reduced pay (in line with Law Enforcement salaries as they are in low-danger environments), exceptions made for areas which remain combat zones or are otherwise hazardous (Valyrian Peninsula bordering, under intermittent attacks, etc.), to be distributed across the Imperium to take up their posts.
------[] The Legion Reserve must always remain at a certain threshold, meaning not all who apply for the Legion will immediately be drawn to muster into a new unit, but those who are reservists will be given preference depending on how they filled out their paperwork.
------[] Certain minimum requirements for admittance into the Legion would require, if not necessarily basic literacy, then enough for messenger work, with a minimum one day per week of schooling taking place, paid for by the Crown, and for those in Logistics, a vocational course.
------[] There should be emphasis: This is no "militia". These men are soldiers trained as well as the most prized Household guards of Westeros. But they are not trained to fight in unusual or extreme conditions, or carry out complex commands, drilled only to patrol the land and hold fortifications. In a pinch, they can maintain a shield wall with more than reasonable discipline, but their security related duties do not allow enough drilling to produce crack troops.
-------[] Six Large Galleons, Six Medium Galleons and Seven Small Galleons are constructed.
--------[] 50 Military Engineers are trained.
---------[] Rally the Twenty Tribes - Blight's Bane continues to make progress rallying the rest of the Tritons to the Narrow Sea, and you have seen fit to supply him with more aid for the endeavor, in the form of flesh-forged Mantas capable of warding off tentacled transgressions.
-[] Economy
--[] The Great Northwestern Trading Company is founded on Bear Island, with Menel taking over negotiations with Lady Maege Mormont.
---[] The company will be engaged in logging forestry and conservation efforts, wharves and shipping, ship construction (fishing and whaling vessels), and fur-trapping. Ibbenese consultants will be hired for the effort.
---[] As Viserys is fronting all of the capital, starting stakes start out at 60/40 in Red Scales Holdings' favor. Up to 10% stake will be sold to House Mormont over a period of time at a favorable price (too generous, even) considering the profitability of the venture (the highest, due to level of exploitation on the western coast of Westeros, which is to say none whatsoever).
---[] This is done through use of a Braavosi shell company, which is in itself using a Lorathi shell-company. More than cursory inspection wouldn't hold up, but then it doesn't need to.
---[] It goes without saying, but for this to be done, it essentially means a full-scale harbor and extensive warehousing will need to be constructed, enough to eventually employ likely the entirety of Bear Island in a multitude of synergetic industries. Let the Spice flow! Or coin, as the case may be.
--[] Crown Royal Vintages is founded in the Stepstones, a branding enterprise for a brewery marketing Dawn Mead, vineyards on highly fertile volcanic soil (to later produce magically engineered grapes) and alchemically refined liqueurs. (Add 1 Size, ?? Profitability to Stepstones Manufacturing, DM discretion).

----[] A Rather Mercenary Hostile Takeover: Oberyn has caroused and cajoled enough information to get the pants off the worst of the mercenaries encamped outside Pentos, identifying the ones most likely to fit in with the uncorrupt and meritocratic Legion, balancing choice as reasonable as possible between competence and trustworthiness. Ascertaining both and dispatching the worthless is up to one with the means to root through their mind, or interrogate and rip away memory itself.
-[] Assigned: Garin
----[] Golden Spy-Ring: Continue infiltrating the ranks of Golden Company in Yi Ti, ensuring they'll have no spies or hideaway unknown to us by the time we choose to stike at them, all while scrupulously divining everything possible.
-[] Assigned: Tyene, Nuri, Azema, Orphne Feylord and 2 Umbral Spies.
----[] The Hunt for Big Red: Send your people into Slaver's Bay in order to hamper the efforts of Cult of Asmodeus as much as possible, looking into it's roots and wreaking havoc on their plans (including those of turning the Spear Goddess into a servant of Hell through belief--look first for priests or holymen not in pact with the Nine Hells and use them), by any means necessary.
-[] Assigned: Malarys, Yrael, Oberyn, Glyra and the Roaming Chaos, Kira Windgraced, Tuin and Morwyn and 2 Umbral Spies.
----[] Beneath the Gold: Look into the forces of Golden Company - learning the numbers, location, and general layout of their main force beyond the outdated data provided by Varys.
-[] Assigned: Aradia the Huntress, Mereth and Erinyes, Construct Ravens and 2 Umbral Spies.
----[] Redoubt Upon the Shadow Mired: Investigate the Shadow Fortress of Tiamat within the Plane of Shadow--acquire plans for it and the territory surrounding it.

-[] Research
--[] Lya - Creating a second body for herself.
--[] Lya learns ~5 Spells, -5 Progress on Research Action.
--[] Xor learns ~5 Spells, -5 Progress on Research Action.
--[] Qyburn - 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.
--[] Valeria - 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.
--[] The Mysterium - Iron-bound Tome (Demon-caller's Spellbook): A book with covers wrought of thin sheets of black pitted iron marked with the sign of Abraxas. Though there is no lock binding the pages, the tome refuses to open. Even if with all the strength of your dragon-blooded form it feels like you are trying to move a mountain with your bare hands.
--[] Naria and Tyroshi Scholarum - 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.
--[] Bloom and Sorcerer's Deep Scholarum - The Final Contravention: With how far you have come, and how many you broke off from Hells' leash, perhaps you can go around the Pact Primeval in a way none before you had - and utilise the Lawful nature of all Devils to create a Ritual that would be capable of severing their connection to Hells regardless of their exact kind, or strength.
--[] Dany, Lya, Naathi Scholarum and Tolosi Scholarum - A Dragon Chained: With Runelore of First Men, and secrets of Shadow Fey Wardings, it may be possible to close on the last hole in the trap you are laying out for Tiamat.
---[] Utilise the corpse of Tiamat's aspect to create a foci, that someone with sufficient skill could use to fight off Tiamat's "Dragon" Divine Domain, holding the power she exerts in check... even if for a short while.
--[] Svitran the Dreamer, Velen, Zathir and Mantarys Scholarum - Safety in Numbers: The Hell-forged talismans you recovered from slavers in Gogoss may just be the answer to the problem of protecting the soldiers of your Legions, or at least one not excessively expensive-
---[] Research a way for (earlier created) Valyrian Steel Banners be made into capactitors for spell Protection From Evil, covering hundreds of Legion members at a time.
--[] Saenna - That Which Stands Forbidden: search through Scrolls of Forbidden Lore recovered in Lyceos (Spellscale, Draconian, and Kobold templates)
--[] Aenie - Dreamscaping: The realm of dreams is an odd thing, shaped by the minds of mortals and shaping them in return, though some beings such as Yss have shown you that it can be altered in more direct ways. You will need to learn about such shaping before you can hope to leverage the dreamscape for your grand work.
--[] Elaheh Marita - Reforging the Brass Bull: restore the Hadhayosh spliced together with the ship by Efreeti Visier

--[] The Binding of Ceraxes to Zherys, and selection of a rider for Melys.
--[] Viserys charges the Misfits, Thoros of Myr, Ser Gerold Dayne, Ser Bonifer Hasty and Mors Umber with the dispatching of the Hag Coven in the Riverlands.
--[] Viserys charges Ser Kennos of Kayce, Argo the Clever, Ser Roger Reyne, Lady Jeyne Weaver, Lady Leila Goldenhammer and Dirriz Bluecloak with aiding Lord Adrian Celtigar in the defense of his people.
---[] A Fire, snuffed out: With Volantis having sworn to you, perhaps it's time to openly close down a threat that persisted in the city ever since your first visit. Break into Ymeri's mansion, and clear out all of her remaining influence - with the mansion itself, if needed.
-[] Assigned: Viserys, Zherys, Sir Richard, Rina, Teana.
---[] Into the City of Glass: Having established the economic relationship with two other Genie Empires, perhaps it's time to visit Marids as well – not to mention, that they once succeeded in driving out Mind-Eaters, and Marid mercenaries may prove invaluable in future conflicts with them.
-[] Assigned: Viserys, Rhaella, Relath, Breath Taker, 2 Gigantean Fungal Manta Rays.
---[] The Court of Goldengrove: A Driad queen resides in Rowan's Nest, guarding an entrance to Feywild – and alongside her a Court of nymphs and satyrs. Go there, and learn more of what place they seek in this world of returning magic – if they can be trusted, or relied upon with deals fairly made
-[] Viserys, Vee, Rina, Rhaella
---[] The Barrow of the First King: Generally speaking most ancient barrows of the First Men are conveniently out of the way that the intrepid explorer does not have to disturb more than the odd flock of sheep to enter them, unfortunately the largest and most famed in all the North happens to have a town on top, Barrowtown where the living laugh, sing, weep and sigh above the bones of the ancient dead. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the tales of riches and magic found in other tombs the people of Barrowton have in recent weeks begun digging down, the ancient entrances having long since been forgotten and built over.
-[] Assigned: Xor, Sandor, Danar and Alyssa Crowl, Softstrider.
---[] The mystery of Hardhome: The only true city of the Free Folk, it supposedly fell to Essosi raiders, though what manner of raiders would bother to make flames that could be seen as far as the Wall? The birds that are Bloodraven's eyes fly uneasily over the ruins of Hardhome, and one was even so overcome by fright it slipped the ancient Greenseer's control, to be found hours later. Still, whatever dwells still in the ruins of the town seems content to stay there, and so Bloodraven has not meddled while other more urgent tasks demand his attention. He advised caution if curiosity would drive you there.
-[] Assigned: Amrelath and his minions, Vee, Waymar, Riz'neth.
---[] Frozen Ground beneath the Hills: Hork's Hill, a small hillock approximately three miles outside Saltpans, named for the giant's tomb at its heart, though the locals no longer remember it. An inquisitive and uncannily fortunate Ink Devil brought word of its existence to Eowith after its master, a Riverlander diabolist of paltry skills, perished at the hands of the restless dead. The unnatural cold witnessed within the barrow proper would seem to indicate the hand of Winter at work, though divinations into this matter have shown that nothing will emerge from the barrow for at least the next year.
-[] Assigned: Rina, Sir Richard, Mercy of the Soul and 1 Guardian Naga.
