Yeah we will probably have to kill Zherys sooner or later, making him go though reforming Volantis first saves us the work, although we will have to either do a lot of PR work or have him killed by proxy, well or finally convince him that he should join us.

Well yes, obviously.
But Volantis under our control was never a realistic option until after the Three Daughters, likely even after Westeros.
And a stable Volantis likely makes less trouble than a collapsing one.

So Zherys is about to be Archon and the Tigers (aka the warlike ones) are about to get into power, citing Tyrosh as a reason.
I have a feeling we will be meeting Zherys on the battlefield sooner than expected.

Incorrect. The other three large cities around Volantis can keep it contained and tear each other apart over the still warm carcass.
A civil war in Volantis is exactly what the doctor recommended for our own plans.

@DragonParadox, unrelated question, but I'm making a sacrifice table for the items we've collected for Day of Change. Can you tell me the CL of the frost-magic bronze axes that belonged to Arson Ice-Axe that Valaena got for us?
And can you tell me the CL of the Thanadaemon staff?
And can you tell me the CL of the Thanadaemon staff?
From what you heard they will be citing the fact that their enemies are summoning demons as the reason. It's the elephants that are panicking over Tyrosh and reacting by trying to turn back their own slave manumissions.

Likewise. Please ping me if people try to have us do so so I can...express my reasoning.
The axes are CL 8 the staffs are CL 11

Uhm, Volantis is expanding in a direction mostly harmless to us and totally so when we have secured Lys.
But an uncontrollably collapsing Volantis shitting out demons will affect Lys, soon to be ours, as the nearest big city?
I think I prefer Zherys winning this civil war.

And this I will fight against with every breath. Yes, we have things to do. It is not so important that we can't have a single day with our beloved.

I'm actually curious. I could see several reasons why you might be against it, but I'd like to hear the actual reasoning, if you don't mind.
If you'd rather save your ... enthusiasm for turning back an actual vote, I totally understand.

Lys is very far away from Volantis. The three nearest cities are fully under volantene control and quite powerful in their own right, though they usually play no noticeable role, given that they are full vassals of Volantis.
Not that a major demon infestation would care about distance. Mid-to high level demons have at will greater teleport. They might decide to head to the Summer Isles Yi TI or King's Landing as easily as Lys and Myr.

@Azel @DragonParadox What if Viserys and Lya just spent the day working on teaching her a new spell, culminating in Lya reaching a new plateau of power (her much delayed level up)?
That seems like just the kind of thing to get Lya's motor revving.

Oh come on, don't interfere with our kinda ally.
He's as nice as we can expect a Valyrian mage to be (yes that includes Malarys).
