Not sure if I should, buuut....

But... it is objectively wrong?
The Feywild mirrors the PoB here, and not the other way around?

It feels like an unnecessary ass-licking.

While the intent here is certainly to seem more diplomatic one could make a logical argument for the reflection statement. If you are living behind a mirror the real world will seem like a reflection so saying 'the place which reflects this one' would be interchangeable with 'the place of which this is a reflection' with the first chosen over the second simply as linguistic convenience.

To be quite honest your name still autocompletes after votes.
Also your being here reminds me of the traps we've walked into by being too verbose in our votes instead of letting Viserys' skills do our talking, so your vote wins there in my opinion.

Just as a note here, good write ins do give bonuses and there have been a lot of those in this quest over the years. On a more personal note I enjoy reading those speeches too, so don't worry about putting things like that in when you feel the need guys.

Could someone link me the full Yi Ti fleet complement? I have some notes on that but they are months old and I'm not sure if it's everything.

Here's the most up to date version of the expedition plan, I think.
[] Plan "We come in peace. Shoot to kill!"
-[] Yi-Ti Bureaucrats:
--[] Make them gear bodies for now in exchange for their services. Keep them at arms length from research not related to themselves, government information and other vital areas.
-[] Yi-Ti Expedition:
--[] Participants:
---[] The Hunters Moon and crew (Moonsong, Theon, Asha)
---[] The Queen Rhaella and crew (Diana, Lothos, various Leshy, six Advanced Druid Seaweed Leshy, Little Valyrians, etc)
---[] Valeana and Dawnfyre
---[] Nuri
---[] 2x Large Galleon, 6x Medium Galleon, 6x Small Galleon
---[] 16x Advanced Druid Creature Lotus Leshy // with our new production run, I want one of them on every ship for buffs
---[] 3x Erinyes
---[] 6x Verdant Wolf
---[] 6x Giant Fungal Darkenbeast
---[] 12x Minotaur Fighter, organised in two squads
---[] a few Bulabar and human shipwrights for repairs on the way, aided by the Leshies Shape Wood spells
---[] 1x Herald

---[] 1x 4th level Wizard
---[] 1x 5th level Archivist
---[] 1x 4th level Archivist
---[] 1x 5th level Sorcerer
---[] ask Yrael if he has some Archons who want to come along, especially Codex Archons or maybe a few fighters
---[] Breath Taker and Blight's Bane will be invited to join
---[] at least 32x Triton warriors
---[] as many traders as the Tritons want to send with the expedition
---[] 2x Colossal Advanced Fungal Manta Rays
---[] 2x Whispering Brazier // if we deal with Devils, better have backup communication
---[] 16x Inquisition members to keep a lookout for Devils
---[] 32x unofficial Inquisition members that will secretly monitor the fleet for infiltration

--[] Cargo:
---[] 1 million IM in luxury tade goods // filling up a whole fleet with fancy shit is expensive, but so will the profits be
---[] 200,000 IM in gold, for purchases, bribes and tribute // we will most likely need to offer tribute to the Azure Emperor
---[] 300 pounds of Valyrian Steel weaponry
---[] bring a copy of the celestial lore Yrael gave us, as a small glimpse of the great library of SD and as a personal gift to the Jade Emperor (on top of more substantial bribes)
---[] goods to take:
----[] alchemical goods, exotic woods, steel goods, fine clothing and jewelry made in the Stepstones
----[] Tyroshi dyes and pear brandy

----[] exotic fruits and pelts from our holdings near Sothoryos, especially Painted Lizard skins and feathers
----[] gems and rare metals from the Plane of Earth
----[] luxury materials from the Plane of Air
----[] Summer Island goods like chocolate
----[] Fey goods from Braavos and Lys
----[] Fire Whale gems
--[] Route:
---[] from SD, go towards the Basilisk Isles and stop there to take up the remaining goods and fresh provisions
---[] sail on for a stop in Vahar, Port Moraq and Zhabad in that order
---[] sail on to Yin
--[] Other Preparations:
---[] take all Raise from the Deep scrolls currently in stock, to keep ships afloot if they risk to sink
---[] take the Dragonbane spear along we got from the limp noodle, just in case
---[] take 16 of the water-elemental-spheres the Nereid gave us along, so that the ships can easily navigate the unknown waters
---[] lend one Wayfinder to the fleet for navigation
---[] make a generous sacrifice to Yss and the Merling King for a blessing and Divinations for the fleet
---[] the fleet should be sent off during the festival with much fanfare
And here's some additional information I collected a while back.

So far, that means we sent 16 ships in total; the Queen Rhaella, the Hunter's Moon, two Large Galleys, six Medium Galleys, and six Small Galleys.

In addition to our investment of 1,000,000 IM worth of treasure, trade goods, and other assorted stuff, there was a further investment of 1,037,000 IM from friends, allies, and business asociates;

Doran's Investment:
  • 200,000 IM in Gold
Garin's investment:
  • 130,000 IM in Luxury Trade Goods
Wyla's investment:
Hermetia's Investment:
  • 60,000 IM in Luxury Trade Goods
Ferrego Antaryon:
  • 190,000 IM in Gold and Silver
Uthero Argalys:
  • 240,000 IM in Gold and Silver

EDIT: And according to DP, in addition to our own 16 ships, Braavos sent eight (Large Galley x2, Medium Galley x6) and Dorne sent five Small Galleys.

I think the fleet might have grown some as well, after the stop in Vahar.

    [X] "My apologies if my loyal vassal's presence causes you and your court discomfort or unease, Lord Dian. We all come to power in the manner most suited to our path, whether that be the Fire in our blood," here Viserys produces a small flash of flames over his hand, "the grace of the Divine," he gestures to Dany who takes the opportunity to do something visually and magically impressive, "or the tales and legends we embody. And in some cases, the path is an even darker one," acknowledge Qyburn with a nod. "Yet possession of a dark power does not guarantee dark intent or foul deeds."
    --[X] "It is true, Qyburn seeks to unravel the mysteries of Undeath, but rather than unleashing a plague of the restless dead as so often seems to be the ultimate goal of unwise Necromancers, he instead strives to prevent such atrocities. Not only does he ensure that his creations inflict no harm upon the warp and weft of reality, but he also works tirelessly to expand our knowledge so that we might combat the threat of the Others, Void-tainted Winter Fey who have embraced Undeath and wield armies of the dead with horrific skill and power."
    ---[X] "That has little bearing on his presence here today, I must admit. I asked both Qyburn and Elaheh to accompany us on this trip for their knowledge of and familiarity with the Fungus Forge which occupies the reflection of this space in the mortal realm. Were there a Forge reflected here, damaged or intact, active or dormant, I would have trusted their expertise in dealing with it in whatever manner we deemed necessary."
