You don't, whatever Aegon is a perfectly innocent victim he is not.

OG say that kinslaying is a big no-no !
Yeah, about that. I don't care. What are they going to do. Send their champion after us.

It's a major taboo for the OG, who we have a very good working relationship with. I am not willing to endanger that over a minor bout of kinslaying. If Aegon survives and kinslaying is an issue to consider, which his distant relation may negate entirely, we can put him in a bottle until he is no longer relevant.

He's not kin. The family tree is too broad for that distinction to be made.
F!Aegon is absolutely not kin.

You commented faster than I could edit my post. I clarified it a bit.

I'm confident that the Old Gods won't consider F!Aegon our kin. They were okay with us going after Robert if push comes to shove, and he's much more closely related to us.

Well Robert is an Oathbreaker, you are allowed to punish one who has transgressed against the other tenants at least as far as divine rules lawyering goes.

I had more a less given up on the ritual at this point for precisely this reason.
Whatever was actually required for it to be done, there is no one active enough in the thread willing to do it.
So... whatever? Feeding him to a heartree is a better idea if your just gonna wack him.

True, but Daemon Blackfyre 1.0 was an oathbreaker as well, and the Old Gods were still anal about Bloodraven being a kinslayer for him.
The fact that they're okay with us killing Robert if it comes to that probably means they don't consider that a close enough relation.

Maybe. We'd have to check with Bloodraven, but I honestly doubt the relation is close enough to matter to the Old Gods.

We did all the research and prepwork.
Now we just need Aegon to be captured and brought to the location with the Worm and we can try it.

Even if Aegon was our kin, there's always the proxy option, kinslaying is a big nono, but you're not required to protect your kin, so we could just recuse ourselves from Aegon's trial, and let someone else execute him, after he gets the death penalty.
There must be loopholes like that in the no kin slaying rule, otherwise you basically can't be executed, if you're family of the person with the right to judge you, so there must be a workaround, and the simplest I can think of, is to simply send someone who's both guilty and your kin, to be fairly judged by someone else.
Interlude next, I think we are going to have a two update day today. I'm tired and not feeling up to writing late again.

A lot of us are entirely willing to go through with this and everything required. Striking at Tiamat and ending her capacity to run amok in Prime Material takes the highest priority.

Uhm... F!Aegon is our... cousin nth-degree, x-removed... and a cultist... and the Old Gods gave us a free pass for Second Cousin Robert...
I'm really not getting the kinslaying argument.
Edit: After glancing over the genealogies, I'm pretty sure we are closer related to Ashara Dayne then Faegon Blackfyre.

No doubt about it.
If relations that distant counted as kinslaying, Westeros would have long since stopped having wars.
Or much more likely abandoned that particular taboo.

Interlude DCCXVIII: Crumbling Stone, Enduring Bone
Crumbling Stone, Enduring Bone
Eleventh Day of the Twelfth Month 293 AC
Sea Dragon Point, The North
Wide dark cracks spread through the pale stone like branches reaching for the heavens, yet as the tower crumbled there was little sound over the crashing of the waves. It was as though the whole sorry place was melting into the fog now that it's keepers had at least gone to their eternal rest. Or at least what I hope will be their eternal rest, Kira sighed, her shoulders tensing slightly with unaccustomed guilt. She had told those poor souls that there was some kind of order to the Spheres, that they should let go of the sorrows of their earthly lives and pass on. For all she knew they were passing right into a daemon's gullet, and that was a risk she would never have to take by the simple circumstances of her birth.
"I think you did magnificently in there," Leila said shyly, likely reading her expression. "That did not deserve to end in blood, we all wanted the same thing, all pledged to end reaving. The King will end it." She said it very firmly, as though there was no doubt in her mind that Viserys Targaryen could do whatever he set his mind to.
Kira could remember him as the lonely boy in Braavos who had revealed himself on accident, even if they weren't her memories, but that was not the knowledge that made her ill at ease. "I'm thinking of writing a song about them to remember them by once the stones are worn away..."
"No use weeping over ghosts," Mors Umber said gruffly. "I'd bet my axe and even my eye that not all those bones belonged to reavers, or even Ironborn." The base of the tower had been an ossuary, each bone bleached white by salt and sea before being set there to grow the power of the lingering spirits, to thin the veil between life and death more and more.
"You know it's a pity we did not find anything worth taking back with us," Mia began. The souls of the dead had little use for treasure and so for once they would be returning to Sorcerer's Deep empty handed, though the task was done. "But this would be a excellent place to raise a tower dedicated to... er," he glanced at Mors a touch uneasily. "Necromancy. I can still taste death in the air."
To Kira's surprise, and she suspected not hers alone, it was Tor who raised an objection. "Too good a location," he chuckled darkly, motioning northward into the overcast horizon. "Too close to the Lords of Night." There was something like admiration mixed with the fear in his words.
Looking away from the rakshasa's hooded gaze she noticed something glittering among the rubble by the flash of distant lightning. Likely a trick of the light but...
It looked like a leg bone, but not like any bone she had ever seen. Thin and delicate, almost frail looking, but rather than dull yellowing white it seemed to be made of glittering crystal... or ice. Anya's gaze followed hers. "You don't think..." she trailed off, not wanting to give voice to the suspicion.
"Something must have started all this, the tower, the ghosts. It couldn't just be that they killed themselves in despair." Leila shook her head, eyes darkening. "If that were enough the Iron Islands would be filled with ghosts and haunted places."
"I think," Mia said slowly, "That we should get this thing back to Sorcerer's Deep as quickly as possible and leave it for Lady Lya or another Companion to make sense of it." She did not touch the bone, conjuring an unseen servant instead to unearth it.
OOC: I can confirm since Lya's other body can get that much from it at a glance that this is a Winter Fey bone of some sort, and not just from a human who made a pact or was cursed.
