But while that's terrible, and one of these things can probably disappear a village (if it worked at it for months, not days)--if you have months of people getting picked off, you can get a message to the closest authority, and now the closest authority doesn't just have to wring hands and send useless patrols of footmen who get lost for weeks before accomplishing nothing / picked off themselves. They can just send a message south and a squad of Transhuman Supersoldiers shows up to recce the area. Or a hunting party of the Wild Hunt under contract runs it down. Or if it's a Big Stompy Monster, a Companion shows up and turns it into a rug.

Yeah pretty much. Things with the persistence and the power to vanish a village are quite rare.

Dreamer's Eyes​
Thirteenth Day of the Second Month 293 AC

Fourteen thrones arrayed in a circle stood atop the mountain's peak, the air so thin a mortal man would expire in moments. They were not mortals nor even near to it, the lords and ladies upon their thrones of black ensorcelled stone, though still garbed in those forms. Once long ago they had been born to the frailties of age and the indignities of bondage, wingless thralls, fit for nothing but grubbing in the dirt at the feet of their masters.

Those days had long since passed into the west out of memory of all who dwelt in the cities built upon the bones of their erstwhile masters, who ride even now upon the backs of their degenerate get. Yet as the sun reaches its zenith, its face blood-red among shrouds of ash, not a smile could be seen upon faces molded to inhuman perfection through the millennia. Eyes stare but they did not see their fellows, lips moved in arcane incantations beyond the ken of mortal mages yet they did not hear each other.

Your shadow passes over the face of the sun, a dragon as great as any of the Lords-Who-Were, casting the entire conclave momentarily into shadow. "It has gone too far, it cannot be put back," you say, voice filled with sorrow and anger both.

"Of course it has," says storm-kissed Vhagar, her voice sharp as the crack of a whip. "There was no need to flap about like an over-large one-eyed bat to tell that."

"I am a dragon, sister, or have you forgotten even that?" you snap back, she always knew how to needle you, and some things never change it seems, not through fire and the world's ending come... twice. Humor is a strange thing to taste now. Gallows' Humor, mem

I have a doubt
Which of the fourteen gods PoV are we seeing from this?

No the person we are as is talking to Syrax.
It another of the fourteen. But whom?

Balerion was the PoV.

We're related all of the 14, given how genetics work, since they were all related.

Metaphysically Syrax holds more weight over us, though, due to her connection to our family via worship.

If it was balerion then he is our direct ancestor too since we got a memory from him as a dream.

Yes, a Ministry of Magic one I would say, that would take significant organizational effort.

Would it be limited to the North or would this be a continent-spanning action, like the one to help spread ritual magic?

Are y'all interested in doing this? Dawnbloom Leshy would make great spokesplants for us, providing free and powerful healing to the masses, while Snapdragon and Lotus Leshy spellcasters could uses their magic to endear themselves and the OG to the common folk.

It would be limited to two duchies at a time. The Forge can only run so much and there is a lot of room to cover.

Yes, this is worth doing. In no small part because this doubles as Bloodraven agents all over the place which is always valuable.
