Indeed. Preferably it's perceived as actions of the faith itself.

That's good to hear DP. I agree with self-isolating, stay away from hospitals right now unless you really REALLY need to be admitted. Get well soon.

What has the faith been doing as a faction lately? Near as I can tell mostly Lucan and FriendsTM Have been the ones... doing stuff. Which.
We still havent actually looked at what hes been doing since the conclave. Sewing brown pants? Sharpening word knives? Trying to institute reforms in the faith of the seven?

After the CoS bombshell, we should get some "giveth" again.

With how we are handling CoS becoming apparent to all the next month, pretty much all of the Chosen with any amount of grey matter remajnjng in their heads will have to cease to be a problem, or die screaming.
I mean, let's be real, we are showing off the ability to throw together a sacrifice of 30-40k HD in a single month's time.
I wanna bet that our 'Pantheon' could readily bitchslap the Seven around (and/or into a pulp) if given about as much as 100k HD.
Cant do jack shit as a cleric if your very Deity is getting bitch-slapped at the given moment

I would not exactly want to repeat this. The only reason I'm fir risking this hs that we are short on time and options with the CoS.With how we are handling CoS becoming apparent to all the next month, pretty much all of the Chosen with any amount of grey matter remajnjng in their heads will have to cease to be a problem, or die screaming.

It's the threat of it that matters, I think.
Either actually talk to us, or unreasonable means will be taken.

I don't think that our allies will be all that worried. They knew what they signed up with.
My main worry is that it will take quite a while to fully pacify the Westeros-adjacent Feywild, which is a task I would have gladly avoided. But, well, can't change the fact that compromise is impossible.

I was thinking more of the genies.
Specifically deploying WMDs.
I am sure both the shaitan and wind genies have some, and are not very keen to see them used. Especially by other factions.

It's mass sacrifice and a ritual with very specific components though, not a WMD we could throw at them like a bomb.
Functionally, it's the same as the Living Brass ritual we are preparing for.

I have no idea what the ritual will actually be doing? Like. Kill them fae seems to be the general plan?
Is it an explosion? A giant boot kicking them away from the material plane? Them all turning to dust like the infinity gauntlet?
That is definetly how we should sell it if anyone ever asks us.

We want to use the Crown of Flowers as a sympathetic connection to both the sleeping Lord of the Fey, his Queen and the Court of Stars as a whole, so that our assembled gods can shove some Death at the leadership.

Actual visuals and fluff-effects will propably depend on what gods we ask.
I could imagine something like the land turning against them, devouring them, for the OGs. Or just all the magic and song leaking out and leaving an empty shell.
R'hllor would likely be more explosive.

The plan is to call on Yss, the Ferryman, the Old Gods and R'hllor. Three death-gods and a fire god.
My hope is that the Old Gods can mitigate the spill-over damage we might be causing to the Feywild itself and hopefully they can absorb some of the metaphysical weight of the CoS so that it doesn't just reform in a few years.

Only Yss and the Merling King are the Death Gods.
The Old Gods are here because 1) formerly fey 2) they made the original ritual via King Theon Stark vs the invading Andals 3) their Time Domain which will hopefully counter bullshit shenanigans in the Feywild 4) Bloodraven has our back. They do have the Strength Domain, though, which will come in handy for the heavy lifting of shattering whatever wards the Court of Stars has.
For R'hllor on the other hand, all we really need is his Fire.
But very much agreed on the Old Gods. Hopefully they can absorb the metaphysical importance of the Court of Stars for themselves.

Yes, that would be helpful.

If it's to hash out exactly what results we're hoping for from the Old Gods, then yes. We need them to go all out for this smiting and make full use of their Strength and Magic domains. And probably grant us protection via their Time domain when we go to the Feywild to finish the job.

Also we need information on the Fey's rebirth-mechanisms.
We want to avoid all of the Fey we kill coming back over the next few years and going full guerrilla-war.
This is a ritual we will most likely sacrifice the Crown for permanently, something we can only do once.
We have to make a proper follow-up, at all costs, or we are going to be in an even worse situation later, when the Reach is full of our vulnerable subjects.

Wait, what? Since when are Fey reborn in the Feywild after being killed?

The Queen herself likely won't die from the ritual. I'm fully anticipating her surviving, but drastically weakened. We'll need to capture her and sacrifice her to the Old Gods, otherwise we're guaranteed to have perpetual war rather than a swift decisive victory.
Apparently always. This was news to me, too.
I guess this means we need to hunt the Bright One again.
