Maybe we can find room for some Advanced Magebred Warhorses or maybe Hippogriffs.

I certainly wouldn't mind growing a large enough herd of them to serve as a breeding population. We've already got enhanced horses coming down the pipeline from the Dothraki, with Bonebraker the Istaheq's mission to breed his way through their population of mares. And horses are a bit too mundane, IMO.

Advanced Magebred Hippogriffs would only be CR 4, which would cost us 600 IM each.

Once they're decanted from the Forge, we can Blood Wish enhanced fertility on them to begin work on starting a new species of Super Hippogriff. We'll raise them on a steady diet of Arkas Grass in order to further enhance their Dexterity and Constitution by +2, increase their movement speed by another +20 feet, reduce Handle Animal checks against them by 2 more points, and cut their training time in half.

Don't let me forget to add them to the Forge order. My memory is less than stellar.

Maybe Dian the Doughty would appreciate a cask of Dawn Mead?

Didn't even have the time to read through the chapters yet :/

I kinda hope the Lys' forge is safe from narrative influence, and/or passage to from local Feywild.
 
Given @Duesal's hope for an eventual fight with the Jabberwock, I've been reading up on the Eldest, the beings responsible for creating the Jabberwock and other powerful creatures native to the Feywild known as the Tane.

One in particular just caught my attention, The Lantern King.
Appearance: The Lantern King resembles a foot-wide ball of golden light surrounded by a circlet made out of glyphs. When expressing a point or emotion, he often changes colour. Because of this resemblance, he is sometimes suspected to be the progenitor of will-o'-wisps or the original model for lantern archons, but the fey lord derisively laughs off such claims. He speaks in a booming, merry baritone which is the only indicator of his gender. The Lantern King is also capable of taking the forms of other creatures, including other Eldest, to cause mischief.

Home: The Lantern King has no permanent abode. He wanders freely through the fields and forests of the First World, bending reality and changing lives wherever he goes, and is often blamed when a traveller is led astray. He is particularly fond of the Witchmarket, a caravan that travels across the First World and into the Material Plane.

Two particular items stand out, which I've highlighted in red. Anyone else getting suspicious?

The Hooded Lord runs the Goblin Market. Ever heard of a hooded lantern? Wouldn't it be ironic if a disguised Lantern King, a being known for his sense of humor, choose to play the role of the Hooded Lord?

Not only does this have possible implications for the "Goblin Market" and our dealings with the Hooded Lord, but also for those Wisps from back in the Braavosi swamps. I'm going to stop arguing against seeking out the Wisps now.

Warm greetings and a valued gift. The traditional response when meeting new peoples and for good reasons.

Fun fact: the picture used for the Herald of Ymeri is the Lantern King.

And as for horses being too mundane, I hear you, but Westeros is an equestrian culture, and a few supersteeds would make great gifts.
 
I'm almost inclined to do another update but it's way too late for that so instead I'm going to do something I've been putting off for way to and give you guys write ups of the serpentfolk cities you know about IC.

Yesssss. I'm really looking forward to learning more about those places, what each was famous for, what kinds of serpentfolk lived there (and what we can probably find there) etc.
 
Don't eat Brazilian barbeque unless you want to die of cardiac arrest and then walk off super-death with a side order of food coma.

Better yet, do that, but bring a designated driver to haul your seizing carcass home afterwards. It would be rude to the other guests to do otherwise...

I should have time tonight or tomorrow to preliminary the turn plan like I did for the last one.
