If this was a deal where abberations felt more at home in the material plane how would you feel?
Edit: This isn't a hostile question. Just genuine curiosity

The answer is as myriad and varied as the Fey and their schemes.
Necron pylons. Extensive wards. Sympathetic curses.
These are band-aid solutions, the Fey magic might erode, circumvent or directly attack any of them. Our only real option is to... *cringe*
Negotiate.

How ever it needs to be undone, now really isn't the time to do it. We need to be king of Westeros, in both name and fact, before we seek to undo the effect. There is narrative weight to being the crowned lord of the land, and that's important when it comes to the Fey and their power, especially in this situation.

Speak softly and carry a few nukes in your sleeve.
It bears remembering that we have a lot of places where planes leak into the Prime Material, so researching Pylons should definitely still be done, even if we somehow can get the CoS to fall in line without having to feed half of them through the Flesh Forges.

We were going to aggressively negotiate with the Court of Stars anyway.
We're also going to need to be more proactive about making sure various other lords don't make deals like this.
Somehow it never occurred to me we'd find someone worse than the Tyrells in regards to making these sorts of bargains.

It was inevitable that someone would be this deeply tricked. Unfortunately, it had to be someone who I didn't hate completely. Hopefully the Court of Stars aren't going to be total tools about this because otherwise conquest is a narrative we can introduce to them also.

i mean from his perspective this isn't that bad a deal if you think about it, his lands and people are protected from fiends and abarations and the fey get a place for themselves where they are more powerfull which wouldn't be that bad if they are on your side in a conflict. the problem is that they are going to inflic nerative on the people living there which is a very abstarct danger in and of itself

From his perspective I imagine it looked like a great deal.
From ours, it means the Court of Star's grip on the Reach just grew a hell of a lot tighter, and their hold over our citizens became quite a bit more real.
It's unlikely to be anything so comprehensive. Viserys and company would have noticed instantly
True, but it's clear Ashford does not see it as mind control

The question then is whether Ashford sees an entire kingdom forever stuck as some play of the Reach according to Fey whims as mind control or no.

You would have to tell him about that IC to know for sure, but Viserys is reasonably certain he can frame the notion in a dark enough light to make Lord AShford less than enthused about it, particularly if presented with and alternative.

I need to know what we are dealing with. I can't not know.
Edit: The scope of the infection needs to be known.

I would be concerned for everything that isn't humans. Were the high fantasy equivalent of cock roaches. Capable of surviving absurd things like magic not existing.

Far Realm leakage is one of those things that will quite definitely kill humans dead though.

And that's only midway down the Best-to-Worst Case scale.

Yeah, but it gets hard to rate the outcomes on the worst half of that scale once your ears start tasting the math.
Well it depends on your definition of human, I'm sure some beings that were once human would survive.

To be fair, overindulging in the negative plane or positive plane is also unhealthy. For staying human, I mean.

Ideally I'd like to scoop up the Reach lords in a meeting as soon as we can manage and explain to them in detail why it's not in the best interest of them or their people to buy into the perpetual Fey Play version of the Reach. These deals were obviously made either in ignorance or from a lack of other options.
