Fire might be a little much for our court while sitting on it. We are a Dragon so no problem for us but our sycophants might not be able to take the searing hot pain of fiery agony well. As for Robert considering how he is basically Conan the barbarian that let himself go and may or may not have the blood tiny as it is if a storm God in his veins.
Chances are if pushed enough he will turn into something like this or some variant of the Barbarian class. Remember how Dragon Paradox said all characters with magic are getting a boost? I would apply that to the fighters as well and Bobby B was a beast in canon and here with magic returning I would bet on him if given the chance becoming a warrior of berserk rage and fury.

Alright, here's all the questions I've compiled to ask Bloodraven. I posted this before, but I want to bring this to the forefront of discussion we can always refine a bit more. @Goldfish @Azel @TotallyNotEvil @Crake @Tomcost @Fehu @Diomedon @Takesis @das_slash @bigbow @Deliste @Raichu1972 @Artemis1992 and anyone else I didn't tag, input would not only be greatly appreciated, but any extra question that we remember to add will come in handy. IC knowledge is always valuable.
Yes, this is massive, but we are asking Bloodraven every last one of these questions. We have been waiting three goddamn years IC for this and we're not walking away without all the answers and more.
Also, needless to say, this will all be asked before bringing Rhaella back.
1. Genius Loci, Lich, & how to successfully sacrifice both. And also if the Old Gods would be willing to work in concert with Yss and the Merling King.
2. Get Dark Sister and that staff of Weirwood Bloodraven showed you in a vision, as well as learning how to use the staff and learning of all effects (and finding out if there's anything more to Dark Sister than being a sword of Valyrian Steel)
4. Learn of the going-ons Beyond the Wall. Learn of the resurgence in magic among the Wildlings, of... other things.
5. Learn of the surviving Children and speak to them, and of course try to recruit them. You could probably get their numbers back up. (I mean, we're getting access to Limited Wish and have been given a green light by DP to grant fertility.) If the Children aren't completely determined to end their own species they should at least be interested. More than that you need a reliable druid of the Old Gods to help with the Genius Loci sacrifice. But you would, of course, welcome any and all Children of the Forest who decide to make the journey south with you.
6. Get a rundown of the politics Beyond the Wall, of the various Wildling Clans, of the giants (basically a groundwork for Viserys to get ready to start diplomancing). As for the giants, ask what species of giants they are.
7. Learn of all the supernatural dangerous that have been popping up, and how the locals have or haven't been dealing with them.
8.IC learn of the Others. Nevermind, you already know of the Others. You've known for years. IC learn of the Others' powers, motivations, hierarchies, society, weaknesses, etc. You've known beings of magic to be wholly immune to lesser mortal weapons. Would any of the weapons you currently have access to be enough to harm such creatures?
9. The Night's Watch obviously needs all the help it can get. Can't the Old Gods hand out blessings in preparation for the Long Night? Making Night's Watch men into Rangers, Druids, Bards, Barbarians and basically anything that will help them. This should be well within their abilities, yes? Also, ask about skinchangers, wargs, and those with greensight. This is well-known lore of the Children of the Forest and the First Men. What can you tell us of these and how may we wield them as a weapon against the Long Night?
10. Tiamat had an Aspect present on Prime Material, which we then defeated, but she was trying to awaken dragonlords that have slumbered since the day of the Doom. She successfully made away with two of the eight sleepers. We managed to kill the third, and recruit the fourth to help us fight Tiamat. The remaining sleepers were sealed away. Any advice on dealing with the Blackfyre now that we're entering the realm of existential crisis?
11. Tiamat once tempted us with the secret knowledge of the Great Other's weakness.
13. We have received lore from beyond this world of how Prime Material came to be, and how the Singers first populated this world. The lore tells of how a serpent created by a fire god who coveted Prime Material betrayed her master to the Singers. After the powers that be banished the fire god to the void, the serpent convinced the Singers to make her a guardian of Prime Material, and they granted her divinity, and she grew great and terrible with many heads. Was this Tiamat? And did she go to war against the Old Gods? Proceed to learn of that war.
14. We have learned of a great catastrophe called the Sundering, and have reason to believe it was the fault of the Chromatic Dragons. Apparently it was so terrible that it severed Prime Material from the other planes. The Upper Planes supposedly suffered the most. The Fields of Elysium sundered, Mount Celestia crushed to rubble. What can you tell us of that?
15. When she became a cleric of Tiamat, Dany saw a vision of Chromatic Dragons battling the oddest... metal-colored dragons, and in my own dragon dreams I dreamed of a kobold with scales of gold in proto-Valyria who helped the early Valyrians overthrow their chromatic dragon overlords. In the dream when the kobold was asked of his god, he would only say that it was the god of the "Lost Dragons". And when we asked an Archon (of the celestial kind) who became our ally of these metal dragons, they told us the name "Bahamut". What do you know of the war between the two kinds of dragons, and why did the metal-colored dragons seemingly lose? What do you know of Bahamut?
16. Who is the Great Other and how did he come to be?
17. In the same vein of the last few questions, ask the Children of the Forest of their tales of the Dawn Age, the Heroic Age, the Long Night, and the Andal Invasion and record them in an empty book. Remember everything you don't record and resolve to write it down later at the earliest opportunity.
18. Tell us of the gods of elder days. For example, the great serpent Yss now resides in our island. What were the gods from his time? In a quest he gave us to find something deep within Sothoryos, the path there takes us past the remnants of a spider god's temple. Who is that god?
19. Learn of how Bloodraven grew into his own magic before magic went through its great rebirth.
20. Inquire if he knows anything of Valyrian lore, or dragonlore. You've come into possession of a dragon's egg and you're preparing to start hatching it, and you'd like to avoid a Summerhall incident.
21. As a followup, ask if he knows what caused Summerhall.
22. What Targaryen heirlooms does Bloodraven know of, be they in Dragonstone, Summerhall, or the Red Keep? Just as the lands Beyond the Wall have the Builder's Anchor, are there any magics in the ancestral Targaryen holdings?
23. Ask if he knows anything of the properties of dragonsteel. You've come into possession of a considerable amount of it over the course of your efforts to keep the world from being overrun, and you have some vague notions of the properties and forging/reforging methods through echoes of memory in your blood and through observation and experience, but it's a far thing from actual mastery of the subject. Perhaps in his long years Bloodraven has learned something you have not? (Known: Valyrian Steel is heated in dragonbreath and quenched in fiendsblood, and also the blood of lots and lots of slaves. It can only be reforged in blood. It is smoky grey-black in color. It always holds its edge. It corrodes at all other metals. It has a special affinity for fire enchantments, and with armor it can be used to shrug lesser spells off. Great spikes of Valyrian Steel were used to harness the power of the Fourteen Fires.).
24. Ask about the "Shadow of the Wall" you heard about from Vellamo the Selkie.
25. How on earth was the Builder's Anchor built? What did it cost? How long will it last? Is there anything we need to do to make sure it's not destroyed by the Others? ... Is it bound to the Wall?
26. Ask about locations of great magical power, essentially places that we could loot/restore or use in some way to power the Old Gods.
27. Ask about Casterly Rock. From what you've learned there appears to be a strong connection with the Plane of Earth in the depths of the castle. What does Bloodraven know?
28. What secrets went into building Runestone, Winterfell, Storm's End, and the Wall?
29. Talk to him about your recent truce with the Deep Ones and your battle with Devils in White Harbor, and also about how the Devils attempted to assassinate Renly Baratheon during your parlay with the man, which would have forever tarnished your image had you succeeded.
30. Further elaborate on the Renly situation in general, on what Renly is, and on what agreements you've come to with him and what you resolve to do.
31. Now that it's safe to do so, ask about the Wildfire in King's Landing. How unstable is it? How do we move it? Could the Old Gods move it with a potent enough sacrifice? Where does Wildfire originate and how is it made? We know that Aerys brought the Alchemist's guild from Volantis, but what about before that?
32. What does Bloodraven know of the "Deceiver"? What does he know of the Doom? You've had this vision of the Doom:
33. Why exactly did the dragons just get smaller and die out? It's been whispered that the Dragonpit is cursed. Is there any truth to that? It was built on the ashes of the Sept of Remembrance, and you've recently learned that the gods are all real...
34. Waymar Royce's younger sister, Ysilla Royce, has in her eagerness to reunite with her exiled brother and her ignorance of the danger, bargained away a favor to one of the clansmen who then took that as payment in exchange for passing a message to us through the Heart Trees. Since the message came through the Heart Trees, you've no doubt that Bloodraven is aware of the situation in some fashion. Bring up the subject and make it clear that if Bloodraven's pawn uses her favor over Ysilla to force her into an unacceptable situation you will not tolerate it, and neither will Waymar.
35. What plans are in place for the Starks? They alone of all the Lord Paramounts still worship the Old Gods, and earlier Bloodraven gave us a prophecy that if we aided them in their time of greatest need they would be loyal to us in gratitude.
36. Dany has seen the hand of the Old Gods upon the youngest Stark girl. What's going on there?
37. Jon Snow's mother, Lyanna Stark, lingers to see her son safe. She's not quite as mad as a ghost should be, but she's very irrational and seems insistent on blaming us for the sins of Rhaegar and Aerys, and wishes for us to stay away from our nephew. Obviously we disagree with her desires. Any advice?
38. Tell us how to train druids. Better yet, help us do it. For example, we've two young girls--Reva and Liset--who can already hear the voices of the Old Gods. Could you train them as druids? Could you send one of the Singers to help us train Druids in preparation for the coming Long Night?
39. We have seen two example of First Man wards through the dreamlands, first in Runestone and next in Winterfell. Can you tell us all known effects of these wards and what magics it would take to build wards of our own?
40. I'm sure you've noticed by now, but we have our own demiplane. This demiplane has a dracolich bound within it, serving as some sort of power source for the wards. Unfortunately it does not like being bound and has made the transport of the demiplane difficult. Can you help us find the phylactery so we can get rid of it?
41. Fish for information that Bloodraven has been gathering on the various supernatural going-ons in Westeros. He told us that his vision is clouded in Essos where the "Ifequevron" dwell (see if he'll tell us anything more about them), but that should not be the case for Westeros itself. This is our chance to learn of current events in a way that completely surpasses mere rumor and hearsay.
42. Bloodraven might not be able to see in Essos due to there being no Heart Trees that have grown there in an age, but he can see in Westeros. What great secrets and important does he know that he can share with us? Just as Ned Stark has the secret of Jon Snow not being his bastard son, but in truth being his nephew, what secrets are there in Westeros that would bring the Seven Kingdoms to its knees? What of Houses Lannister and Baratheon?
43. Ask if there is any truth to the legend of the Baratheons being descended from the Storm God through Elenie Stormborn's marriage to Durran Godsgrief. How might such a bloodline manifest? Has it manifested anywhere among the Baratheons or their bastards?
44. Regarding the Seven, they have not been complacent. While in Dorne we learned of a Cleric of the Seven running around and healing people and the like:
45. What does Bloodraven know of the nature of the Seven themselves? Not the corrupt and decadent Faith in King's Landing and Oldtown, not the zealous preachers in backwater hamlets, but the actual gods.
46. Along those lines, apparently a shipment of tainted grain poisoned hundreds in Dorne, and we traced the crime back to someone from the Faith in Oldtown. What can you tell us of the schemes of the Faith?
47. Speak on Zherys, Bennero, the Mysterium, and the Red Priests. Speak of the slumbering Land Wyrm under Volantis, and the echo of the dead god Meraxes... and the rumors of the blessings of Meraxes during Volantis' campaign up the Rhoyne. Ask for any insights and advice.
48. Ask about the gods of Old Valyria, what their domains were, what they demanded of their followers, etc.
49. Speak of Oberyn Martell's daring campaign to raid the ruined cities of the Rhoyne for lost magics. Ask what dangers he might have to expect depending on which cities he's raiding, so you can later pass said information to Oberyn via Whispering Brazier.
50. Ask of the past Kings Beyond the Wall and anyone of the sort building their power in present day. Ask of any Free Folk Bloodraven knows of whom you could recruit and train and equip as a monster-slayer to serve while you are otherwise occupied (wandering hero style). Also ask what his plans are for the Free Folk and the Night's Watch so you can avoid messing them up with your interference.
51. Ask of the giants gathering in great numbers at the Fist of the First Men.
52. Ask of the great Bear Spirit that has been troubling the Crab Men and the Night's Watch both. Is it related to the Old Gods? It seemed to be intimately familiar with the coming Long Night.
53. Ask of the "Winterborne" and what monsters have become Other-Touched aside from the Peryton you battled.
54. Ask Bloodraven to help complete the Fine Sealskin Map of the Lands Beyond the Wall, marking tribes and ruins and especially magical activity like particularly haunted ruins or sealed away magical artifacts that he wouldn't mind us recovering or that he would prefer that we recover before anyone or anything else manages to.
55. Of the ruins Beyond the Wall, ask Bloodraven to give a list of ruins that could be explored by beginner adventurers, then a list that could be explored by slightly more powerful adventurers, and lastly the places that can only be safely explored by someone of our own power. Ask for the same information of any places south of the Wall.
56. Resurrect Rhaella, and ask if we can come to Bloodraven to resurrect Elia and Rhaenys as well (and inquire about what that would cost and what chance we would have with bringing Rhaenys back).
Yes, this is massive, but we are asking Bloodraven every last one of these questions. We have been waiting three goddamn years IC for this and we're not walking away without all the answers and more.
Also, needless to say, this will all be asked before bringing Rhaella back.

2. Get Dark Sister and that staff of Weirwood Bloodraven showed you in a vision, as well as learning how to use the staff and learning of all effects (and finding out if there's anything more to Dark Sister than being a sword of Valyrian Steel)
3. Learn the Day of Change ritual to sacrifice magic items to the Heart Trees.
4. Learn of the going-ons Beyond the Wall. Learn of the resurgence in magic among the Wildlings, of... other things.
5. Learn of the surviving Children and speak to them, and of course try to recruit them. You could probably get their numbers back up. (I mean, we're getting access to Limited Wish and have been given a green light by DP to grant fertility.) If the Children aren't completely determined to end their own species they should at least be interested.

44. Regarding the Seven, they have not been complacent. While in Dorne we learned of a Cleric of the Seven running around and healing people and the like:
And recently in the Stormlands we met a young Brienne of Tarth who was blessed by the Warrior, a budding paladin. With Brienne in particular we would prefer to slowly turn her away from the Seven, to both take away a powerful follower of the Seven and so we don't have to fight the poor girl. For the others, that's up in the air since we don't know them, but we would see turning them also away from the Seven as a good alternative. The question is thus: how many other clerics and paladins of the Seven are there? And where are they? Which of them will give us the greatest problems?
45. What does Bloodraven know of the nature of the Seven themselves? Not the corrupt and decadent Faith in King's Landing and Oldtown, not the zealous preachers in backwater hamlets, but the actual gods.
46. Along those lines, apparently a shipment of tainted grain poisoned hundreds in Dorne, and we traced the crime back to someone from the Faith in Oldtown. What can you tell us of the schemes of the Faith?

I'd ask how to set up the Night Watch with Rangers, Druids, Bards, Barbarians and basically anything that will help them. The lore in the library and any secrets of the Wall they can use. Basically ask about anything and everything we can do to reinforce and empower the Night Watch to stand against the oncoming Winter because if the Wall breaks we are in for one Long Night.

Some things I would think to ask about are the Gods of the older ages.
Maybe see if they have information about Yss that we wouldn't know, or some way to more directly bolster the powers of Gods.
We could also try asking them about the Gods of Old Valyria, what they represent and what they offered.
We could in general ask about locations of great magical power, essentially places that we could loot/restore or use in some way to power the Old Gods.
We could also try asking about the nature of the Seven, since we currently don't know much about them personally, although we are unlikely to get a valid answer from the Old Gods.
On a more personal level, we could ask Bloodraven things about the Targaryen dynasty, our ancestors and their deeds, just because I feel as though Viserys has been losing his connection to his family and roots.
We could ask about the True Dragons, where they roamed and how they died. Although we can guess (rekt by dragonblooded and fiends) an accurate answer is always helpful.
We could ask about other agents Bloodraven has, so we could possibly assist them covertly IC if that's something we want to do.
We could ask about how the wards of the First Men were created, and if we could recreate them, even as a pale shadow.
It would be nice to learn how the Baratheons obtained God Blood, although it is not too important of a question. I'm just personally interested.
Sorry if I repeated anything already mentioned, as I read through it and repeated off the top of my head what I thought wasn't mentioned.

Right, Night's Watch. We've definitely got to see how we can help them out.
These are all pretty great questions. Thumbs up. Let me fiddle around with them and see where to fit them in. I'm trying my best to arrange the questions in their own themes so that similar questions are asked in succession.

I'm 100% with you.
I'm willing to put off literally everything else until we can snatch all the lore we can.
This is basically the best opportunity we will have to get lore from the Ancient Days, and because it's being filtered through Bloodraven, who still thinks like a mortal (mostly), we won't have to filter out the cryptic bullshit Gods love to package into their information.
It's like the best of both worlds.

This, btw, is why I wanted to bring a dragonpen. All to help write down everything and remember with that photographic memory of theirs. Now we have to make do with just Viserys and Dany.
You know what, I'm tempted to just damn it all and teleport back to Sorcerer's Deep to pick up our dragonpen anyway.

@Duesal
i'll try to come up with something, but between you and raichu i think the more important points are covered.
just a couple things i would like to know:
Is it possible to move the trees? it would help a lot if we can simply grow them somewhere in essos and then move them where we want them.
what about revitalizing old trees? i dont remember what he told us about the one in white harbor.
i too want to know if he has other agents and whether he wants to help them somehow, just giving them some sand to communicate with us or some magic items could help a lot.
on a more personal note, we suspect he may have some living descendants, maybe he can confirm or deny?

Meh, who says Bloodraven won't have any cryptic bullshit to peddle.
The only thing is, Bran was an impressionable kid who just did what he dreamed was the correct thing to do because the alternative was sticking around Winterfell where things were falling to shit anyway.
Viserys isn't gullible enough to waste time on diversions or deflections.
Viserys: *Valid and well thought out question about thing that has confounded them for years.*
Brynden: *Hokey mystical mumble jumbo.*
Viserys *Irritated technical babble about matters arcane and calling the old man out.*
Brynden: "Truth is, I don't know."
Viserys: "...then just say that!"

Well, from what I remember way back when, Brynden was pretty "cut and dry, no need for bullshit" when we talked to him.Meh, who says Bloodraven won't have any cryptic bullshit to peddle.

Brynden:
He didn't really waste time with pomp and circumstance, he told us what we wanted to know, and what we would need to do to get what we wanted from him/the Old Gods.
Now, that might of just been because of how hard it was to keep such a connection from so long a distance for a long period of time, and thus he might become more of a "riddles and mystical bullshit" kind of guy.
But if he does, I must admit I will be quite disappointed.

See what he knows about Ashai by the Shadow and the other farther parts of the world if he can see them as well any looming threats ther like say Yi Ti home of wandering Martial Aritists and any enemies of Tiamat we could ally with. Like say a lost Dragon God

I'm like, 95% sure the thread would never want to actually contact Bahamut, because he is LG to the core, as well as expecting his followers to also be relatively LG.See what he knows about Ashai by the Shadow and the other farther parts of the world if he can see them as well any looming threats ther like sayYi Ti home of wandering Martial Aritistsand any enemies of Tiamat we could ally with. Like say a lost Dragon God
He also is into "testing" people to tempt them from their convictions, from what I remember of the Dany debacle, which will not go over well with basically anyone both IC and OOC.
I would be up for it if he decided to take a more passive role in things as essentially a non asshole alternative to Tiamat, but I feel like I'm just getting my hopes up by believing that would be the case.

Still finding other powerful forces Divine or not to give us some form of aid against her would be good minus the Evil ones and we could always have Bahamut work with Yeral and his City of Light. It would put us in his good graces to have him being able to work with such a powerful force for Lawful Good. Also Bahamut's true Divine name is Fizban

@Raichu1972, I added most of these, but one thing we already got an answer for.
"We could ask about other agents Bloodraven has, so we could possibly assist them covertly IC if that's something we want to do."
We asked Bloodraven this when we talked to him after sacrificing the Abishai. He didn't want to tell us about any of his schemes, but he did tell us that he'd warn us if we were ever in front of any of his agents.

Ah, I remember that one now.
In hindsight, I like to imagine that he wants to keep them secret because he knows our dragon instincts would make us want to find and recruit them

"Should I be concerned about the fact that the wall that is keeping out the masters of ice magic is made out of ice."
Looking at the list of questions... Ok, seriously, no chance of bringing Lya? we're ahead of schedule, and the woman has been getting 4 spells every 2 levels for 3 years from this hive-mind.
I'm too sleepy to check, but I think she's working on a smelter or something? Maybe Aradia? I think she's gonna drop the smelter to come with us.

While I agree that we would never convert, Bahamut still makes a great ally against Tiamat!

Wish can do Resurrection not just raise dead, it's not like she died longer ago than our mother.
