Planetos has cursed an entire line before, we'll do it again.
We already have the ritual that was used then, actually.
Which, alongside our Curse-staff and tendency to sacrifice things en-mass, make for a very bad time for Illithid forces once we set our mind to debuffing them.
 
If you meant it as a "here's the major happening in the realm" for them, great.

But some, like Yrael, could be more problem than anything. We would be planning an offensive, and him and I guess Relath would be the only ones knowing what's going on, but he would likely moan a bit.

Relath could be interesting for his knowledge of the Marid, if nothing else.

But would the genie have any interest in random low level human sailors, for example?

Note, my biggest issue is this not really having direct impact over most of them, save for Doran and Relath who have the scale and freedom to benefit directly.

Writing an update for my own quest right now. I will amend my plan after that.


I want this to double as a conference of our own allies and subjects. We are pretty unlikely to get another chance to get the more important people over, so yeah. This is also a big thing for our realm.

I agree with Azel on this one. And not everyone invited to attend needs to be present for all of the discussions we have with the Genies.
 
After this vote is taken care of, we need to hunt for Scribe's Binding, purchase hippogriffs in bulk, and lastly poke at some middling crafters to hire.
 
Glad to see he agrees with me, please don't turn Planetos into the Planar Disputed Lands for the next thousand generations.
I'm really surprised that DP thinks the Githzerai will be "relentless" since the original argument that split their race was over the Githzerai not being relentless in their pursuit of the fleeing Mind Flayers. I was not aware that they were actively hunting them at all.
 
By the way @Goldfish, we talked about this a few months ago. Yesterday DP approved Elysian Bronze as fully functional for the purposes of Waymar's PrC.

@DragonParadox, question for you.

Waymar's PrC makes bronze awesome for him.

Would Elysian Bronze have the same benefits or no? I was wondering if we could do some kind of upgrade in the epic levels using this.
That does indeed count as bronze for the purposes of his PrC.
We can go crazy with making him a new sword in the epic levels. :D
 
Please note, that we'd be getting all spells below.... What, 5th level?
That are in Pathfinder core book, once we book-ify the Lore Devil.

That's helpful for sure, but there aren't that many core Pathfinder spells that we either don't already have, would care to cast, or that aren't also D&D 3.5 spells.
 
The Unilla should be honoured, I was thinking of just transferring her knowledge once in book form then sacrificing her but I think I want to turn her into an Educational Artifact, Scribe's Binding is so effective at binding her form and nature already that it's a good start on an Ultimate Codex to service the Scholarum, a justification for our students to have access to every 5th level and below spell is great and awesome for the narrative, we should build on that, bind it to the warding scheme and have it accessible in all Scholarum Libraries from Westeros to Yi-Ti and beyond.

Over time more enemies will be bookified and for those we can just transfer the information over, with a perfectly detailed recounting of any being, including the milenniallly ancient, this is our opportunity to rapidly rival say the libraries of the Peerless Empire and I really can't think of any other way to do that.

Apparently I'm going to loose this not because of the difference in housing, but because Goldfish is around to add bits and pieces to his vote.
 
@Goldfish, I'll decide for whom to vote once Azel presents his updated plan, but in the meantime, I'd like to ask you to add
[] "Buy common and inexpensive books" and
[] "Buy a book on cipher-breaking if one is avaliable at all" to your plan.

These points are rather important in my opinion.
I'd like to try for educational books on non-magical sciences, but it is unlikely we'll find any here... Braavos Archives, I can't wait hard enough.

Or we can get Lya to rebuild the spells and not have students face fiendish knowledge directly just because we acquired a great resource and are happy about it
 
[X] Plan Planar Conference With Actual Conference Center
-[X] Host the conference in a purpose built facility on the island of SD, somewhat away from the actual city.
--[X] Do not bring the two new sets of Megaproject tools into use for the Tyrosh - SD Highway, instead use them to build a meeting facility and two manses to host your guests from Amun Kelisk and the Opaline Vault
--[X] Use your books (see last line of the vote) and ask Embra and House Adjar for input on the designs.
--[X] The main meeting room should incorporate all elements in its construction. Pilars of finely worked, yet natural looking stone, a few tasteful artificial waterfalls, the roof resting on pillars, leaving room for huge windows, decorations in finely carved wood and large braziers illuminating it all. The message here is the unity and balance between the elements.
--[X] The two manses should be opposite each other on a circular road enclosing the meeting facility. Leave enough room that it is obvious that you left space for a Fire and Water manse, to signify your commitment to hopefully host gatherings between all kinds of genies in a brighter future when there is peace between them again. Aim for quality here, but to not try to be too gaudy or ostentatious.
-[X] Invite a few people on your side:
--[X] The Creek-Caliph for Braavos.
--[X] Lady Uraka for the Iron Bank, specifically request her, just in case the higher ups think this above her pay-grade.
--[X] Inform House Adjar ahead of time, so that they might have a chance to attend on the Shaitan side. Being friends with us has a tendency to pay for you.
--[X] Doran Martell as a Lord directly sworn to Viserys. If he aids us here to get everything in order, the planar markets are wide open for him.
--[X] Velen as one of our oldest friends and allies, as well as a benevolent representative of the Plane of Fire.
--[X] Breath-Taker as the representative of the nearby Tritons, the Merling King, and the Plane of Water.
--[X] Relath as a Lord directly sworn to Viserys. The same as Doran. Play ball, gain a slice of the cake.
--[X] Meet with Yrael to talk about the future. Depending on the outcome of this discussion, maybe invite him to the conference.
--[X] Soft Strider as a representative of her people, and an ally against the coming darkness of the Others.
--[X] Bronze Yon as Lord sworn to Viserys and future LP of the Vale. If nothing else, he could spend some time with his daughter.
---[X] If he comes, brief Ysilla to not mention Azema. At all.
--[X] If Zherys has the time to attend and the Divinations to check on his truthfulness after the coup come up green, invite him too. He would be a junior partner in all of this, though Volantis can profit greatly from the deals we strike here.
--[X] Salladhor Saan as a Lord directly sworn to Viserys. Remind him that these are the big leagues, so he should try to tone down his roguish charm.
---[X] Appraise him of the future of his raiding fleet. It is untenable to keep raiding in the Narrow Sea, for pickings are getting slimmer and political developments in the near future may or may not dry up completely. We have two options for him:
----[X] 1. He heads a military campaign to claim the Basilisk Isles for us. He renounces his claim on Port Sorrow or passes it on to another Saan and instead gets the whole Basilisk Isles. The islands are currently poor in anything but slaves and pirates, but we have grand plans for the area and Sothoryos. Furthermore, it puts his ship in reach of Ghiscary shipping lines.
----[X] 2. He strikes a side-deal with the genies and hire himself and his crews to them. They have sky-ships, not sea-ships, but we trust him to none the less have a very productive privateer career against the Efreeti.
--[X] Lords Brune and Velarion, due to being directly sworn to Viserys. While there are not many thinks they could gain from interacting with the genies, they shouldn't be left out and it is a good chance to rub elbows with the other people around.
-[X] Further attendants:
--[X] Malarys as legal aide to Viserys
--[X] Richard as Viserys bodyguard.
--[X] Maelor as Viserys gofer, so that he can learn something.
--[X] The rest of the companions will not be part of the actual meeting, but can freely chat with everyone attending as they please.
--[X] Put Rhealla and Lya in charge of accommodating the guests. Rhealla because she has experience in these things, Lya because she has the planar lore necessary to understand this particular batch.
-[X] Security
--[X] In addition to previously mentioned warding, run regular and spontaneous divination's to make sure there are no interruptions for this meeting. None. Incoming Divinations should clearly show that any attempts to interrupt, let alone attack this meeting will result in a fate worse then the torments of the pit for any who dared it. This includes our old friends the Lannisters. If they try to interrupt this, Casterly Rock will be nothing but a glass stain on a pile of rubble that was once a mountain.
-[X] Next Action:
--[X] Fetch Xor before returning to Oddo's. He might like to meet another apparently benevolent being who originated in the Far Realm.
--[X] Buy books as planned. Add a few volumes on Genie culture and architecture, primers on Genie laws and legal practices, and any tomes related to Dungeoneering, Nature, or War.
--[X] Attempt to purchase Call the Void, Ruin Delver's Fortune, Spell Enhancer, Scribe's Binding, and Wall of Eyes spell scrolls.
--[X] Buy a few common and inexpensive books.
--[X] Buy a book on cryptography.

Updated plan. Now including all @Goldfish got and an actual conference center instead of making the rulers of two planar empires camp in the muck.
 
@Azel he is so not ready for ] 2. He strikes a side-deal with the genies and hire himself and his crews to them. They have sky-ships, not sea-ships, but we trust him to none the less have a very productive privateer career against the Efreeti.

Unless you dial it back to just setting the seeds of him preparing to do this
 
@Goldfish, I'll decide for whom to vote once Azel presents his updated plan, but in the meantime, I'd like to ask you to add
[] "Buy common and inexpensive books" and
[] "Buy a book on cipher-breaking if one is avaliable at all" to your plan.

Added.

Either way, we are never getting rid of this book. We earned that Uniila fair and square, and she will have a place of honor in the forbidden section of he library.
