If they aren't as annoying as the two we've already got, then sure. Otherwise I'm not inclined to waste something so valuable on them. :anger:

Mmm, they've seen our ruthlessness, but they should also see our kindness and thoughtfulness. Lord Manderly is quite insightful and perceptive, so I think at worst he'd come to the conclusion that we're a more charismatic Tywin, giving rewards for those on our good side, atrocities for those who truly have drawn our ire. Not quite the image we're going for, but if we take Tyrosh without a sack, we should pull that perception to "more charismatic and measured Tywin."
 
I wonder if the Bulbasaurs can invent ice cream if we hand them a piece. :V

@Duesal a sword for Jon, A chilled section of the bathouse; (because ungrateful Selkie spies dont get a private bath), Hm, goblets?
 
Enchantments that could be added to House Stark's True Ice full-plate: Endure Elements. +2 enhancement. Resist (Energy).

Really, that's not artifact level, one unique seeming power or two would really make it an armor worthy of a king. At least one would make it worthy of a Lord Paramount.

She heard a voice in the storm speaking a strange language then Viserys answering in the same tongue. She wants to know what that was about.

So the Dragon talking big about itself shortly before being reduced to shattered fragments. Gotcha. Truth with a side of spin it is.

[X] "It sought to taunt me, to make me abandon the ground for the storm that followed it. If it could not do so, it planned to wait until the more powerful and shorter lived of my wardings failed."
-[X] "It underestimated us."

Short and sweet. As close to total honesty as possibly here is what we're aiming for. No need to go into the specifics unless she directly asks for them.

Armor of the Winter Wolf: This fully articulated suit of plate is wrought neither from bronze, iron nor steel, yet bent to purpose with the same pliability and masterful craftsmanship as could be done with any of material so mundane. It is forged of deepest blue ice, with countless runes of the First Men etched onto many an exposed surface. A pauldron in the shape of a wolf with its teeth bared rests upon one shoulder, and in the bright sheen of true silver upon the cuirass the emblematic heraldry of the Kings of Winter: a snarling dire wolf.

They need some constant Resist Cold to wear that.

@Crake, hell yes. We could probably manage this, a blade or other weapon, our coveted refrigerator, and a big chunk in the lagoon for selkies.

otoh, "a room lined with sheets of blue ice remains at a room temperature of about freezing".

So we can make a few sub-zero warehouses by fabricating the blue ice into thin sheets.

Okay. This stuff is way too valuable to waste on a trophy, and I'd be perfectly happy with a marble statue trophy honestly.

@Goldfish, what do we want to use this for?

... You know, I'm slightly tempted to save this stuff for later then give the Starks an artifact-level armor made of this stuff. Maybe a weapon, too. Kings of Winter indeed. Bonus points for Robb Stark being a baby PC, so it can go to him.

I bet the stuff would be stupendously valuable on the Plane of Fire, and incredibly illegal.
 
We're going to have to get DP's word on precisely how much we've got and what we can do with it all, but I definitely want that refrigerator. A massive refrigerator. It'll be a great addition to the Imperium Fortress' kitchens.

No way. I want to keep every bit of this for ourselves.

Even if it gets us enough gold to buy five dozen Griffon eggs?
 
Gold = Griffin Eggs. Which we have.

Gold /=/ Blue Ice.

Shit is dangerous to get more of, no matter where you go for it.
 
Can't wait to see the look on Lord Stark's face when the first of our various reparations is that armor I came up with. That cold resistance will come in handy for them, too.
 
@Takesis has the right of it. If the selkies want to chill, they can go to the public bath house. Seriously, a chilly pool open for all citizens (yes including the selkies) strikes me as the perfect solution. SD must live up to the hype of world capital!
 
I'm not sure about the utility of a large refrigerator for us. It's greatest use is in food preservation, which we already have a massive advantage in with a chest of purification. Unless there is a more obvious means of profiting from it that I'm missing, a small ice box to chill food as part of preparation, and blue ice goblets and serving bowls would be a better value.

I was actually thinking on how we'd go about making refrigerators.

Mostly so we could sell ice-cream, to be frank.

You don't need a full refrigerator to make ice-cream. You just need a chilled pot to mix it in, and then let it cool for a little bit to get the right consistency. Normally that requires a refrigerator since your chilled pot has been warming up, but a blue ice pot wouldn't have that issue, so you could just cover it and let it sit once you're done mixing.

It only reaches the true potential of its hype when Lya enchants the entire island to be capable of flight, shortly followed by us shearing it off of the continental shelf.

One could say it would finally...reach new heights.

Honestly I would prefer to leave the island where it is. A floating fortress is a fine vanity project, but an island is just needless. If the magic keeping it floating is destabilized, it is easier to create counter measures to slow the descent of a large building than it is for a landmass, and the collateral damage of it coming down will be less in addition.

Else we could simply endeavor never to fly the thing over another landmass, which would then only risk creating a tsunami which...

Can we not?

Blame Shadows of the Undertide. Everyone's wanted to be the ruler of a Netherese mage-city since then.

My takeaway from that module was that flying cities are dumb and you're inviting disaster when they fall from the sky. :V

More importantly though, while it doesn't inconvenience Viserys, it would be mighty inconvenient for all the normal people who live in SD. I mean, we can have a small flying island with a castle on it, but it's kinda terrible to tell all the merchants in SD who own sailing ships that they are SOL, only flying ships are worthwhile now.

Not to mention how it would impact foreign trade, when most people probably don't have a merchant fleet of flying ships. :p
