Are we expecting all of the remains of the Court of Stars to capitulate, or just the Green Court as part of this deal? From reading the chapter, I don't think the other courts are involved in this negotiation.

Just Green for these particular terms. Depending on how Blue, Indigo, and Violet react to terms our negotiations with them will be radically different.

We are just doing the immediate mop-up right now. That would be part of a resumed effort in the coming turn.

Fair enough.

We're just discussing the Green Court's individual terms.

AFAIK, it looks like the Court of Stars is destroyed, and the individual factions splintered off into separate courts.

Don't we have another strike force dealing with them right now?

In any case, I think the idea was to deal with them in pieces to limit their individual negotiating power.

The previous update spelled it out. The Court of Stars is gone and all the Colour Courts are now independent actors, shattered or killed in their entirety.

Green and Azure are still functional, while Violet is still a court, but greatly diminished. The rest... well...

I think Indigo is still alive, just deeply wounded and hiding in the depths of the Feywild.

Seems like a good deal. The fey king gets a new life and potentially serve as Bloodraven's replacement for Old Gods so he can leave his throne later.

That Old Gods seem all for it is even better.

As a note, if that many fey joins the Old Gods then their desire to inflict bloody vengeance on the Seven becomes a lot more doable. They would be able to use the fey to do so many horrible things to so many of our enemies.

They could already kinda do that. The Old Gods were mostly allowing the Seven to weave together enough rope to hang themselves with vs. Viserys, or else shoring up the geographic blessings that their followers had access to.

I believe there is a reason they opted for the mortal agent route that Bloodraven is leading the way on is that every other method of directly combating their enemies is impractical. Enough people do not understand the bloody mysterious and seemingly "silent" (they're shouting in our uncle's ear all the damn time, so we know that's not true) Gods is that most of Westeros follows the Seven, so a campaign even against people who specifically wronged them, even in just their ancestry, would cause a lot of heart tree burning and persecution of their followers.

So making Andals kill each other, or failing that, making them die on the swords of Winter, seems to be the method they're going with, and will continue as they mean to go on. By not getting a reputation worth paying attention to by the average superstitious Andal.

Increasingly, it is looking like a lot of the Voices in the Green Dream are focusing less and less on sating vengeance to the point they're willing to wrap things up if we 86 a handful of Andal Houses. And maybe bully a little if we ever personally interact with them, at least until they comply and send their champions to die (repeatedly preferably) against Winter.

If the Old Gods recruit the Green Court Garth the Green might be forced to fight his friend Danielle... What a terrible shame.... :V

Edit: Aryssa is also part of Green... 2 for 1 special!

Oh...well the Greens had most of their court survive but there were still casualties...should we do a survival check on that?

Edit: If she died in the feywild, then Danielle has no guide in one of the worst places in the multiverse.

The attack was mostly targeted at the high nobility and the court leaders. Pixie-friend (forgot the name, a-something) is not that.

Moreover, the Gods were all apparently discerning in how they killed and whom they killed, so she's probably fine.

Oh, that's good I guess. I mean even if she did get lost there is still Planeshift so she would have been fine.

Failing that, the method of attack was apparently Poison from Yss.

Aryssa, I think it was, had Danelle with her, right? She's a high level Cleric.

Ergo, Danelle probably has a way to heal it, or maybe even call on the Maiden to slow the poison? Side quest--save your dying friend in the Feywild by winning a bet with a Feylord for a miracle cure!

It will be quite interesting to see how she reacts to that. I imagine that the pixie certainly felt something go horribly wrong.

Not to mention she's straight up not important enough. She was a scout, and Operation Starfall targeted the high nobility.
 
Aryssa might just be a pixie Scout in the beginning of the quest but she is currently friends with a Chosen of the Seven and a Reach Noble who is a high lvl mage and she's definitely gained a few lvls now. She isn't exactly a nobody .

She might be more important, but in terms of inner rankings of the Court of Stars from what we can tell she wasn't precisely important enough to have a target on her back. She wasn't a proper noble.
