Are we going to expand the canon map when we send Moonchaser to space and can get a satellite view of planetos?
I know there was a mention at some point of a ship that sailed west and found lands before going past them to find Yi-Ti.

I'm looking forward to that. Once we get into space, all sorts of interesting options open up for us, including a much more accurate geological survey.

What does a newborn care about vague promises of riches and to avenge people it does not know, compared to the loving caress of his mother?

If you're talking about Tiamat she better have Epic Bluff here even by gods standards, otherwise I'm not sure how she can sell this particular bullshit.

Yes. I meant to quote the one about Tiamat not having much luck.

She's extremely the opposite of lucky, if you think about it. She got spanked back to back to back if you count the Mind Dragon dunking, the simultaneously, masterfully coordinated and pre-planned assault on her assets and holdings, followed by the desecration of a Shadow Dragon to create yet another unique True Dragon not beholden to her.

Look how they massacred my girl!
 
Yeah, Tiamat has had the opposite of a good run. We have consistently been the dagger at her side...have we been enough of a nuisance to be considered a sword in her side?

To add insult to injury, take note that her opponent in her latest temptation attempt wasn't even a proper dragon, but just a mid-level Kyton. The newborn True Dragon decided that fiend without a whiff of draconic anything on it was more a mother then "The Mother of Dragons".

Oh right.

Failure.

Monster Hunter is a setting Viserys would either thrive in, or be forever hunted by literally everyone in the setting near constantly.

It's the "*chuckles* I'm in danger" meme spliced with the John Wick movie poster meme.
 
I have a theory about why Tiamat is failing so hard at her Mother of Dragons shtick.

She's post-menopausal.

Part MMMCDXCVII: Champions' Path
  • Threadmarks
    • Champions' Path ​

    Fifteenth Day of the First Month 294 AC

    Though you are certainly curious as to what the former maester is planning you can think of no reason to refuse. Qyburn has done exemplary work in your service and so far you have had nothing to offer him other than more work for which he certainly seems to enjoy, but a allowance on personal project seems like a much more fitting reward. In truth you have some business in the Reach also and could do with hearing of the doings of the Faith and the Citadel from one as well connected as Baelor Hightower. "I and several of my companions are heading there as well. We have but to arrange a meeting place for when our mutual business is done..."

    "Of course," Qyburn agrees at once. Unsurprisingly the two flesh-smiths prove to be exceptionally organized and time-conscious, a necessity for ones working with delicate arcane processes and life's fragile beginnings. That is not all they are organized about however, nor was this request the only reason they came here today, not by far.

    They have also come to announce success in the most complex project you have assigned to them to date, certainly the most ambitious.

    ***​

    You tip your hands and look down at the papers Elaheh Marita just handed you out. Reagents costs, operating times, health parameters and potential dangers of the operation, the latter of which are thankfully small enough that you actually feel you can propose this to your citizens. But beyond any arcane consideration the question is which of your citizens.

    Project Praetorian was designed to do one thing above all else, give mortal men the tools to fight on an even footing with the pawns and servants of the dark powers of the Spheres and beyond. They are to be stronger of body and sharper of mind, resilient against wounds and illness, warded against magic and steel both, even able to summon a spark of dragonfire to their call, but beyond all this it would not do to forget that those undergoing this process would still be human in mind and soul. You can think of many reasons why someone would seek such power, not all of them good.

    Unlike joining the Legion this would not be a path that can be walked back for those who find they have made a mistake. The transformation would be permanent outside of operations orders of magnitude more difficult than implantation. Further, even if someone joins wholehearted and serves with distinction they might one day have cause to lay down the sword and live in peace, and for that too you should be ready for before ordering the first implantation of a volunteer. The people who would entrust their lives to you deserve no less.

    How are Praetorians to fit into the Empire's institutions and laws from selection criteria to possible retirement?

    OOC: I know this is really short and the vote is open-ended, I don't think I can cover every piece with pre-set votes, especially not this late.

    Reincarnation?

    I think the project is mostly changing the body not the soul, so a reincarnated Praetorian (directed via Bloodwish) should be human again.
