Didn't we used to have some really fancy altar we looted in Tyrosh that we wanted to gift to the temple?

We already gave it to them.

Onto the red priests you offer yet more gold, just as much as you had offered for the Great Sept, with the golden altar taken from the treasury of Tyrosh besides. The temple will be of a traditional make worked of black marble crowned in fire, though this flame will not be fed with wood or oil, but unwavering magic, shining all the brighter for being ringed in hardened glass, a beacon to the faithful. One of the priests suggests that it also be a beacon to lost ships at sea, but you politely refuse the notion. The symbolism is not one you wish to encourage. All who come in peace are welcome in Sorcerer's Deep, not only those who follow the Lord of Light.

Quick on his feet another priest suggests frescoes of dragons worked into the temple's facade depicting both you and Dany as models, not explicitly of course, simply to convey 'the greatness of the dragon who carries fire in his heart'. Careful to keep back a smile at the naked flattery, you nod in agreement, though you make a mental note to simply have Lya make the statues with a spell rather than needing to pose for a sculptor's chisel. There are far too many more urgent calls on your attention, even with all the help you have gained in recent months.

Now Ymeri dead does Red God control plane of fire? Does this increase his power or domain?

Is Atreia the good counterpart of Ymeri now free?

The plane of fire is vast, no single power can be said to control it. In fact many parts of it are unknown to any but their inhabitants. The more central, more connected and more organized parts of the plane are the domain of the Efreeti, where as the Wilds are what they sound like... anything could be out there, or nothing but roiling masses of plasma, magma and super-heated gas.

What about 2nd question? Also, does Red God's power upgraded further?

Crimson Luminary ​

Twenty Fourth Day of the Fourth Month 294 AC

You had not expected the Florents to be here already, but it is easy to understand why your mother had decided to send their invitation early. The look in Erren Florent's eyes when you he sees spirits armed and armored in the faith and power of the Red God stand shoulder to shoulder with furies garbed in imperial crimson and soot black armor is that of a man who will never consider treachery against the crown.

In his eyes, this moment is no doubt one where your rule is anointed by his new god, though that is not exactly what is happening as you walk between basalt columns and under arches depicting the life of Azor Ahai illuminated by ever-burning torches, but you will take the loyalty and not worry overmuch about the details. After all, he is hardly alone in his beliefs. By the latest estimations, you have seen as many as eight in ten of Imperial citizens who hold faith in the Red God believe also that you are Azor Ahai come again.

"The False Queen of Fire is no more, my lord," Mereth proclaims as the procession stops briefly between her and Yrael. Under the hallowed light of this place, one could easily mistake her and her sisters for the stern angels of judgement they once were, even as the crimson light of the lanterns stains the Achons' wings the color of newly shed blood.

"And unto you I say well done, as I do unto all those who not only avenged the suffering of Volantis and other realms that fell under her cruel eye, but ensured such a fate could never again befall the citizens of the Empire. May this temple mark more than merely a seal of victory and epitaph for the fallen heroes, may it be a place where victory is commemorated in the light and warmth it casts upon our future."

Mereth Leveled Up

The words carry much further than the echoes upon polished stone would tell. Though the temple itself does not contain many onlookers, the ceremony is reflected in dozens of mirrors across the Empire, broadcast as the term had developed, it being the farthest reaching spell cast by mortal hands in this new age of magic, as far as any in your realm know.

As you walk up the winding path to the unlit flame set atop the temple's highest point, you find your eyes wandering beyond the procession to the structure itself, wrought in neo-Valyrian style than fits both the city and the god it honors. It seems to swallow the sounds of your tread a touch faster than it aught, a hush laid in the deep shadows between the torches that makes you suspect there may be more than the hand of the divine upon it. A glance towards the Lady Melisandre confirms your suspicions. She had spun some enchantment of shadow, of distant Asshai here, that the fire of her god would burn all the brighter for it. That she managed it in the few days before she set out to war against Ymeri only increases your opinion of her skill and subtlety both.

The evening air hits you, touched with a hint of myrrh and holy oils from the unlit brazier, and the faintly metallic scent that still has the gift of raising your hackles on sheer instinct. Another dragon is near. Pushing aside the atavistic reaction with the skill of long practice, you nod to Amrelath perched on a ledge meant specifically for the use of wyrms, as the flowing draconic script proclaims. He has grown, the same instinct whispers in your ear, but rather than wariness, you feel satisfaction. The Ash Risen is far from growing beyond you and thus his strength only adds to yours.

Amrelath Leveled Up

What offerings to you give to the Lord of Light in the Kindling of the Temple's flame?

A suggestion for Amrelath, one befitting both his martial skill and his intend to lead promising followers into battle: Dragon Lord – Class – D&D Tools
Full BAB and big Hit-Dice make for a decent martial advancement, and the class features are nice for boosting his minions.
@Goldfish Think that would work?

It's not a problem for me if he goes that route, but remember that he's got the Loredrake Sovereign Archtype, which changes his Racial HD from d12s to d10s in exchange for advancing his spellcasting by the equivalent to 2 Sorcerer levels. He should want to further advance his magic, IMO. Just one level of Dragon Mystic or some other compatible spellcasting class will bring him up to 10th caster level, allowing him to use 5th level spells, including Teleport.

Teleport would be a significant boost to Amrelath's mobility, plus it would allow him to more easily transport a few of his minions when they're off on an assignment or adventuring.

@DragonParadox, what's the value of Amrelath's hoard up to now? I've still got it listed at 18,000 IM, but I know that is very out of date.
 
Up next is the coronation correct?
Or is there more interludes?

Either way the event is gonna be
LEGEN.....
wait for it
.....DARY!

But thats what he gets with RHD, in time.

So far I agree with Talon's general idea that his attempt at self-improvement is mostly through his minions, so I would choose a class to represent that, rather than the power-through-magic approach.
 
I'm with @Goldfish, I'd rather give Amrelath a class that advances his magic. Just that one level and he gets level 5 spells.

Also @DragonParadox, will we be covering the progress of others as well? Namely Bloom and Yrael and Melisandre.
 
I'd rather no class advancement for Amy.
Or at least not spellcasting-magic-centred stuff.

I really don't get this determination to shove Relath and Amrelath into these little themed boxes.

Just because Relath said he wants to get stronger in magic doesn't mean he can't find his own companions. Just because Amrelath wants his own companions doesn't mean his own magic can't grow.

Ultimately they're following in Viserys' footsteps, and Viserys did both.

If ya'll want him to go the minion improvement route, then Dragon Lord isn't the way to do it, IMO. Draconic Auras are weak at low levels and Amrelath is never going to progress quickly through class levels.

If you want him to have auras, he should just become a Marshall. It's d8s instead of d10s, and it's only 3/4 BAB progression instead of full, but in every other way it is superior, better saves, more skill points, and better auras.

Draconic Aura improves with level for Dragonblooded creatures, maybe one could compromise with the idea that Amy is definitly someone with many levels in "Dragon" and half-count those?

Even if @DragonParadox is generous enough to let him count as a 7th level Dragon Lord (the equivalent to an Adult Red Dragon's normal Sorcerer-equivalent level), the auras would still be pretty junky, IMO. A flat +2 bonus, with only three auras to choose from, is just not very impressive. Marshall starts off with a bonus equal to Charisma bonus and gains a major aura at 2nd level.
