Does that include stuff from catacombs, or do we still have to send looting parties there for the task?

I also pointed out that millions of uniform stone bricks is not that many bricks. Buildings use a lot of bricks.
@Azel maybe make it clear we're willing to wait for our grab-bag recruitment of people to be trained before deploying? It could be interpreted that we're hiring and using these people immediately, with next to no training. Our Sellsword companies were explicitly hired to do policing post-conquest while we trained the police force up, so we should use them thus.
@DragonParadox We did start training officers for the Tyroshi garrison specifically, a few months ago, since their job would be harder.

I also want all the daemon lore added to our library. Starting with that book that Wyla found.

Plans for the magisters: Mainly waiting for opposition against our rule to manifest, then letting the Inquisition lead some Legion troops to kick down doors and seize properties.
Archons Palace: Once we've put a dent into the slums and our administration and lawmen begin to take shape in Tyrosh. That avoids us looking as if we waste time on our fancy palace and to have a better feeling for the government offices we will house there. So in 2-3 months probably, unless we are strapped for cash very soon and need the gold.

Made that explicit.
You should probably send at east a B party in there. There may be more sentient undead present.

Yeah, building would need a lot of bricks, but as I figured up, a day of work using our prepared casters and Viserys for heavy lifting could produce in excess of 2.5 million 12"*4"*4" stone blocks.
We wouldn't go through that many blocks before we could just set aside another day to make more.

@Azel, seeing DP's post, please send looters to catacombs, armed with our detailed map and instructions to take everything that isn't nailed down to the floor.
If it's nailed, call for minotaurs, yes.
Prooobably we can get even more sacrifices down there if we try really hard.
@Duesal? Do we need any more currently? Undead are kind of hard to capture :/

Aren't the Essosi supposed to be pretty relaxed about this sort of things? I mean, Viserys an Lya aren't even particularly scandalous; They are of similar age, neither of them is married and they are being pretty low key with their relationship. Has she somehow managed to personally offend them or something?

- being near locations is my passion.
I suppose a few guards and dominate him to release/cast all of his spells too then? Last thing we want is some Daemon greater teleporting in and dispelling the dominate so he can teleport out.

Great, glory, loot and XP for the little ones!
By the way, has Asha saved enough loot for a ship by now?
Here's the minor item list:
1 Masterwork Unholy Mace [Cultist leader]
3 Greater amulets of Resistance (+3 to all saves) [Cultist Leader, Vitreous Drinker, Rohar]
1 Greater Ring of protection (+4 deflection AC) [Cultist leader]
3 Ring of Protection from Good [Cultist Leader, Dead Enchanter, Rohar]
1 Unholy Symbol of the Moon-pale Maiden [Cultist leader]
3 Amulets of Resistance (+1 to all saves) [General loot, possibly taken from victims]

Not bad, not bad at all. This is a good haul. I hope more cults take over other cities, they have some pretty nice loot.
I'm assuming Major Item is the just the dagger, or is there anything else? Any ritual altars?

They had an enchanter?
Dammit!
That guy would've been good to dominate and transcribe lore from.
Artificers...
*Heavy sigh*
One day...
They probably have all lore and more stationary items of power in catacombs.
(Fingers crossed for powerful altars of daemons)

We still get the skull, and Viserys can awaken Artificers in future actions.
They might also have been scavenging/stealing stuff. That's all the sort of stuff Viserys would not be surprised to find locked away in tombs or eve moldering in some magister's collection.

Nice +4 ring. Viserys could use that.
Considering Lya has been able to make essentially anything, short of ioun stones, I wouldn't worry about lost enchanter lore, not at this level.

She should be able to make Ioun Stones now. Go wild!

it's more that we can't teach enchanters at scholarum without involving Lya directly and, well, she's one busy girl.
Enough to not be able to write anything in "free time" of hers, let alone a dedicated guidebook people could use to become artificers.
Having a bunch of notes dictated by a dominated enchanted/artificer though?
Will only need some time to get those in order to get workable solution, which can be improved upon later.
Not ideal, but better than nothing, especially with Philosopher's Tree, Researcher/Teacher Arcanum and the rest of our library.

True. I think our main point of contention is I consider getting PC time turned towards materials production to be something that will be really hard to convince people of, when everyone has other things they'd much rather have PCs doing. Like, if it really just took one day, it'd be fine, but for more crowded conditions than we'd accept in modern living, it'd take around 4 days for 12,000 people, and 17 for our city's planned expansion size of around ~50,000. And that's an optimistic calc, ignoring all the bricks needed for the streets, interior walls, stairs, and other things. Factoring those things in, and you probably start getting close to a solid month of a crucial part of our party making, transforming, and moving bricks.
So rather than a full PC push, we'll want to figure something out where we can do similar things as Lya's fabricate, where they just go and cast the spells when they have free slots near the end of the day, but the stones are being broken apart and moved by muggles (which incidentally would likely become the new resource bottleneck). If we spent a PC day getting it started from the full PC team, with Viserys helping to move the blocks, we could probably rely on it as background actions, with improved lyre building as a result, with the mental strain from doing one task continuously for hours (to days) becoming the bottleneck again.
The magisters....don't really like us. However, having taken the city and declared ourselves ruler, they can't really bad talk us behind our back, since that's treason, maybe. They're not sure. However, Lya is not officially our wife, and not as (obviously) scary as we are, so they're transferring a lot of their animosity from us to her, because angry human brains are not good at risk assessment. I mean, she can't directly order their execution, and isn't directly related to us (like Dany), so Lya's the closest target to Viserys they can complain about.

Well, we now have an in-character justification for going through every magister's collections.
They could unknowingly hold dangerous artifacts!

We'll just have to wait until she has an opportunity to cast a full-strenght Control Winds.
I've been waiting to find something to use that on forever.
In the meantime she can do some Shadow Enchantment to send assassins back to their paymaster or something small and fun like that.

I feel the more important take-away is we need to have that serious discussion Viserys and Lya have been dancing around since they got together. You know. The one about marriage.
