A Sword Without a Hilt: A Song of Ice and Fire/D&D 3.5 Crossover

Reader mode
@DragonParadox

I like how Viserys is just like "Hm. Fascinating." and Lolliston is all like :confused: "It's Lannister drivel."

And in our head we're like "honestly they're not technically wrong, it's probably only my fault in the sense that I killed all of the Daemon binders except this one tho".

It's kinda weird for it to be Tyroshi mage tbh - had we not pulled pretty massive Divinations for any surviving cultists?
Had all the captured (and killed) ones questioned, and dragged out by Inquisition, and same applied to actual Daemons, rinsed and repeated?

Also, someone this powerful, wouldn't fit the description we were given on the cult then?
We caught all the "leader"-types, eventually, iirc.

I smell shenanigans.
Maybe even someone using "Daemons" as a cover, since we never hid just what kind of fiends infested Tyrosh.

We're hardly omniscient, even being extra thorough. Also, the bigger Shatterpoints ping on our magic radar more than the ones with less butterflies.

Someone could have survived and done a lot of leveling, especially if getting a power up from one of the Four Horsemen, or their forces. And it might not be the mage doing the cursing, bit merely the Summoning/Calling, while the Daemons do the heavy lifting.

Just means we missed done with Mind Balnk. Either enough to cast the spell or an item or blessing with it. Which is rather alarming to be honest and implies the Lannisters probably didnt actually get rid of them either.
 
If the local lord is feeling the effects of the Lanister "sanctions" that explains the executions over something as petty as theft of gain. The smallfolk recognize the early signs of widespread starvation, so Lolliston is sending a message before things spiral out of control. We should keep this in mind because even if we deal with the Curse that doesn't solve Lolliston's problems importing food and goods. From a purely pragmatic perspective, food riots could prevent Lord Lolliston from lending support when we retake Westeros even if he does pledge fealty.

The real reason he's having food problems is he's trying to buy from people who care what the Lannisters say to begin with. Once he swears to us it should be trivial for him to buy from the many loyalist lords who know to expect a major surplus.
 
So Frozen 2...
Not that much exciting and has quite a generic plot.

This reminds me again that we need to find out what we freed with Rina when we got that ritual to free her from the Others.

To visit the Lands of Always Winter... into the unknoowooohooowoohoooown!

Tbh, I dont think that's the best idea.

Best(est) Snake he may be, we want a fair bit of secularity kept?

His temples may be schools in themselves, but, well, schooling is inherently state-based in our Empire.

Most I'll be willing to get, is having a small shrine to him at schools. Most.

The passive effects he gets because of his domains should have a profound effect.

Is there a divine timeline - who came first, who followed (Yss, Zathir, Asmodeus, Tiamat, ..., Old Gods, ..., Seven, ... Rhllor, ... the 15, ...) ?

Here's the demon caller's iron bound tome. I did not include the spells because there is nothing in there you guys do not already have access to from buying and in the case of these spells you would have to spend research actions to eliminate the corruption associated with the incantations. That said the wild magic also needs some research to get, but at least that's a full class you guys can train mages in:

Iron-bound Tome
Iron-bound Tome (Demon-caller's Spellbook)

By: Cultist of Abraxas

Description: 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.

Contents: As one peruses the first few pages the reader finds much of what one expects, knowing the history of the tome, spells of conjuring and and evocation with prayers to the Lord of the Final Incantation wound around them a poisoned vine around the trunk of an old and withered tree, but as the pages turn the madness within them grows, a malign desire to not only cast spells but wield the fires of magic raw and untamed. Is it the fel influence of the Pit, or the madness that had lead the nameless acolyte to pledge his service to so foul a master? Though none can know for certain the insights into the nature of wild magic are certainly unique. perhaps worth exploring if one finds a patch of barren wasteland to do so in. Grants the ability to train Wild Mages.

Thanks, DP.

New classes for Scholarum is one of few ways a book can even be relevant to us these days, even as... unusual the class is, and the needs for it to apply.

No Demon names in it?

@DragonParadox, I feel like the second we got Miracle it should have been utterly trivial to blast past the wards on this thing. The same is true for a lot of our earlier research problems -- they're completely negated by high level magic, and thus shouldn't need to be researched so much as just catalogued so we know that it's done.

You guys can do that, but the key word is 'blast', miracle is more a hammer than a scalpel. Without study it would have a change to trigger some wild magic protection and seen the book turn to ash (or since it was wild magic turn into an orange cabbage that sings sereneness on every full moon).
