Wow, that's some good bark.

I bet that tea would sell very well during exam times.
That tea would sell well at absolutely every time. I give it a month after it hits the market to have a cup of that tea being the official morning ritual in 90% of the Imperial administration.

@DragonParadox, any chance they also happen to have some seeds for the greatest tree ever and just need a hand from some Leshies to make it grow?

The struck through parts is what got done this month?
 
@Azel, can you add this to your plan? I should have taken care of it days ago, but IRL crap interfered. We need to get the retroactive item order in before we close the month out. I don't think I've left anything off that was previously discussed, but this is based off a version of the order I remembered that I embedded in another post for safekeeping, so I might have forgotten something.

This continues our practice of stockpiling helpful items, useful basic gear, and strategically important stuff of all kinds.

One thing I drastically increased in this order are the numbers of psionic tattoos we're purchasing from the Githzerai. We need to start issuing them to the Inquisition, Lawmen, Praetorians, etc. They're not good for mages, as DP has ruled they interfere with spellcasting, but we have plenty of eligible folks who could benefit from them.

We're also ordering a lot more of the Saccadic Prism Spectacles for their ability to dramatically speed up reading, which can help our government and Scholarium students immensely, as well as a large number of Whisper Safes to further enhance operational security.

Revoting, because I don't feel like going back and removing all of the X's from my commission order.
 
An army with all ghost-touch weapons?

This feels like bullying...
The Praetori also got full ghost-touch armor on top of that.

Also, given who they will be "fighting" next, the ghost-touch is the least impressive part. A few recalcitrant knights and lords might suddenly find a deep and intense love for their Imperator when they see a bunch of foot soldiers walking up to their castle gate and casually cutting it open with their swords.

From over-the-top infrastructure, to super-efficient-by-setting's-standards-alarms, to nippon Imperial steel folded over 1000 times, we are the bully incarnate.

No, really, they look like even more obviously magical swords?

And give us an in-setting 1,000 TIMES FOLDED IMPERIAL STEEL BANSAI meme?

For our doom legion's foot soldiers?!

Patently bullying.

I do like the aesthetic of black crystalline looking swords with geometric lines folded through the steel, and through the transparent edges you can see lines of arcane fire within.

So at night, a Legion on the march is likely somewhat visible just by the conglomerate mass of weapons they carry.

Nope. Folded 0 times. We are casting them all and just sharpen them with steam powered super-grinders.

GLORIOUS IMPERIAL STEEL IS SO SUPERIOR THAT IT REQUIRES NO FOLDING; BECAUSE IT IS MADE OUT OF SHARP AND FIRE.

I know it's dumb but I really do want to see at least one group of knights V. a couple of praetorians while in Westeros, preferably on mirror vision with WWE style commentary.

Seeing a bioengineered super solider vertically bisect a knight and his horse in one blow seems like a fantastic way to close their chapter of history.:V
 
@Goldfish, how much could Viserys or Dany Harden something? Because I think at least the Praetori equipment should definitely be treated by them personally, both for symbolic value and for maximum ridiculous ultra-hardness. If a Praetori shield can't take a few love taps from a raging Balor without breaking, it's shoddy quality.
