    -[X] Reparations in excess of 1,000 IM require direct approval by Alinor or Viserys.
    -[X] Establish guidelines for reparations: No one in any way truly complicit with enemies of the state would receive any. No one losing less than 25% of their assets would receive reparations, unless such would place them in penury. Preference for reparations granted to any who actually aided the Inquisition. In major incursions, any responsibility would not be the Inquisitions, but the Crowns (to determine how to proceed, without a set-in-stone obligation).

Corrected, and at this point I wouldn't say 14 to 9 is contested. The second option is basically the non write in and it comes off as very lazy. Doesn't matter what it is, what it looks like is that if you break shit saving the world from the forces of hell it's coming out of your check.

The point of setting up that fund in @egoo's vote is to have the Inquisition worry less about property damage when pursuing cultist terrorists. Making them pay out of their own pocket will lead to hesitation on the job (it was directly outlined in the vote choices), which could easily have dire consequences. Nobody's saying the victims shouldn't be compensated, but the Inquisition should still be supported here.

It's not like we're going to short the Inquisition budget. Given the importance of their role within the Imperium, their budget is basically however much they need it to be.

It's not that we're not going to give them the money but it's just adding extra work for the Inquisition and Alinor's clerks when we can just set up a separate entity to deal with it. Although I might just be biased as I have been involved in trying to get additional budget after blowing our vote and it's a massive pain in the ass, so take this with a grain of salt.
 
What's the population of Sorcerer's Deep, the Realm Sheet just says Stepstones is population 384. Is that 384,000? And how much of that is people that migrated to the capital and not other parts of the Stepstones?

This seems by far the better choice. The Inquisition should have carté blanche on the scourge and purge when necessary (especially in a place where the ruler basically personally spited Asmodeus and his lackeys, Tiamat and they way things are going Lolth as well in a while) but that doesn't excuse the government from civil consequences.

Interlude DCCCXXXVIII: To Ride a New Path
  • Threadmarks
    • To Ride a New Path ​

    First Day of the Second Month 294 AC

    Rhango Two-Lives set the message aside with trembling fingers, as though afraid it would vanish if he left it out of his grip, or afraid perhaps that it would crumple in his hand if he held it a moment longer. It was time. At last it was time. The Dead Walkers would be scoured from the holy grasslands, the murdered khalasars of his people avenged. Bow, blade, and whip would not end this war, but sorcery might, dragon-fire might.

    The old khal sighed, unheard by any of his people save his khaleesi with whom he shared even those thoughts that would make him seem weak, for what man was not weak naked in his sleeping furs? "We ride north this moon-turn," he explained.

    "You do not seem happy to taste vengeance, why?" came the soft but insistent reply. Razi knew him well.

    "We will ride over the Sea of Grass, but we will not be as we were, masters of all under the vast sky," Rhango replied after a moment's heavy pause.

    "Is that not what you have worked at all this time, making your riders sharper of wit, just as you gird their bodies with armor?" his khaleesi asked. Rhango had chosen her for her beauty when he was young and foolish as a stallion in his third summer, but he had been fortunate enough to find her wits matching and surpassing fair. "Three thousand warriors you have broken of their wild ways only this month alone and seen fight with caution and with skill."

    "Two hundred and one warriors only to replace them have come forward in that same time," the khal replied, absently drawing his dagger to sharpen as he was wont to do when his mind was troubled, before recalling that this dagger would not lose it edge against any mortal foe. "Whatever I make of this khalasar, we will be the last of all Dothraki. They say in Hyrkoon, far to the east beyond the Peaks of Bone, that those who rule are as fathers to the people. Foolish thought that sons kill their fathers when their time is at hand. To be father to all is to have every dagger at your back."

    "And why it is, husband, that sons must kill their fathers?" Razi asked. "Because it is the way of things? It is also the way of things for men to live one life, not two. Worry not for treason from those you have raised up in your image, but rather the vengeance of the damned and accursed. I heard from the wizard that the strength of the dead is their hatred and the Sarnori have much reason to hate us and all our kin."

    "Ah, how you make my mind untroubled and my slumber soft, my khaleesi," Rhango laughed.

    "If it is soft slumber you are looking for, then bed some girl who will be overawed by your prowess, mighty khal," she sniffed. Her familiar smile still had the power to set Rhango's blood racing. He would not be looking for any passing lovers this night. "My task is to make sure you stay alive to counsel our sons in your old age, when they are old enough to take up the whip."

    Rhango could have pointed out that he was already quite old for a khal. "That is not the Dothraki way."

    "Not the old way," she corrected. "The old way is foolish and it is you who decides what it is to be Dothraki."

    Not alone I'm not, Rhango thought, but that was not a bad thing. Not for nothing did Dothraki always scout in pairs. One pair of eyes alone might miss a path through the grass that to another would be obvious.

    1. 201 Dothraki Screamers recruited
    2. 3,000 Dothraki Screamers Trained to Veteran Dothraki Riders

    OOC: Rhango is running out of easy recruits. On the other hand his khalasar is now, by a significant margin, mostly veterans.

    It's 1/2th of the population in the Stepstones province. That number is 384,000, or for Sorcerer's Deep it = 192,000.

    So the number is 192,000 in SD.
     
    Awesome! We are changing Dothraki Culture.

    I wonder how many will choose to be Legion Outriders when the world is a better place?
     
    @DragonParadox, out of curiosity, would the Wild Hunt horses be interested in breeding with some of our mares in the Imperial Stables? I was wondering if that could get us Fey Horses like the one Renly has.
     
    @DragonParadox
    How about Rhango's level?

    He hasn't been doing anything really exciting or highly dangerous for months, but it has been a pretty long time sinc ehis last level and that time was still filled with some social and physical challenges, I would assume.
     
    Could someone at Egoo with the suggestion to run this by Malarys?

    I dont expect he will have an issue, but it would be polite.

    Hmm. I was planing to have him level after Sarnor but it has been a while and he has done quite a few actions, plus he's not at the second soft cap of 10 yet.

    Ok a level up does make sense and then Sarnor could help him get past the cap if he lives.

    So 5-6 is the soft cap for NPCs,

    10 is the cap for the top 5% of humanity or something like that?

    And 11+ is like the top 0.1%?
