The gene manifests in those features.
Nettles was essentially dornish-looking, brown skin and dark hair. It's quite a feat she managed it at all.

She was more clever than just approaching and attempting to mount it, as some actually managed to do.
She fed it a sheep every morning for an ongoing period of time until it became used to her, and then mounted it.

It's more genetic than aesthetic. The eyes and the hair are a signal that the genes are in their purest form. Alternatively direct dragonlord lineage will suffice, but that can obviously get diluted pretty quick, especially if the Valyrian coloring is already suppressed as was the case with Nettles (alongside Rhaenys, our niece hiding in Dorne).
The vote's already bloated, so why not just get it voted on?
The way I see it, this would be a personal gesture between the three leaders at the conference rather than just a random side-note after everything is established.

For those who know far more about AGOT than I, does a shaved head happen to mean anything in Westerosi/Essosi culture? I can't find anything particular, but asking here made more sense than bashing my head against the wall that google search seems to be in this case.

Not that I can recall.
I think nobles are usually shaved as it improved hygiene, tho.

The closest thing is Volantines needing to shave the heads of their slaves for certain tattoos.
In Westeros it just doesn't seem that important to them. It would definitely come across as odd, though. It's certainly not in fashion, and mainly something that just happens after you lose your hair (Tywin).

The Runestaff is equally attuned and Rod of Quickening really doesn't care if it's Fine or Gargantuan, there is no difference to it's function.
Viserys will be loving Mac's pub, especially in his current circumstances, a place to talk, gather and manipulate information.
Mac should appreciate his deep respect for what is essentially guest rights, giving him an excuse to protect those rights (who was it that was dumb enough to attack Dresden at the pub?) would be too easy actually.
Really enjoying this so far and you immediately highlighted why certain tropes exist with the Fomor kidnapping, Dresden would freak the hell out investigating their disappearance but it makes perfect sense from Viserys' perspective.

Not really. Dark Sister's powers attuned themselves specifically for Viserys when he drew her. The Runestaff on the other hand, as much as I'm fond of it, could be used by anyone with powerful enough arcane magic. Lya, for example, is equally capable of using the Runestaff. So is Wyla. So is Alysande. So is Teana. So is Zherys.
By my perspective DP clearly meant for magic weapons and items to resize alongside magic armor, but I could be wrong. If you guys want to contest the ruling we can just ask DP to clarify.

Alrighty. I'll see what I can do to finish this up tomorrow, then.
That was an Outsider, and one of their big ones went up against Dresden in there and lost. I'm not seeing much else willing to violate the Unseelie Accords, to be honest. Would be fun, but perhaps a bit too contrived. Still, Viserys is going to like the place, if only for the simple reason that it's all wood and that will feel closer to home than anywhere else he's been so far.
That was all @Sqweaktoy, actually. I'd intended a quieter entrance, but his sketch had been that the Elder Brain landed Viserys in Fomor territory and they aren't great hosts if you appear to have magical talent. They're also a truly convenient source of information and blood for the Weirwood staff, which will be needing regular infusions for as long as it's cut off from the Old Gods - I'm getting a bit metaphysical here. More hunting of Fomor is highly likely to be on the cards down the line, but given what Viserys can do, I'm not seeing much that they can do to save themselves from the Turtler.
Glad you're enjoying it!

First they need to be trained. Loaning them to Relath just means they escape at this point.

Viserys regarding fearsome enemies that play merry hell with protagonists as annoying vermin and weeds are endlessly amusing. One of my favorite parts of crossovers is watching him do things that seem perfectly normal from his perspective but just aren't done in-setting.

Goodluck pinning him down though, he might not be able to alphastrike their entire organisation but he's about the worst possible quarry for them, ultra-manouverability unbound by The Ways and nothing to defend, he could just pick them off one at a time.
Yeah, the thing about violating the Unseelie Accords is that Mab takes it as a personal insult. And people who insult Mab tend to have a bad time. Just look at Lloyd Slate, or Nicodemus.

If Viserys runs into Molly Carpenter or Malone...

I mean, there are plenty of threats to him. Either of He Who Walks Before/Behind would be a nasty challenge due to the whole non-killable thing.

I mean, as I said, it's post Skin Games so Molly is somewhat occupied with matters of Winter. Although I somehow doubt Viserys would take seeing that binding any better than seeing the Knight's Mantle on Dresden. Main issue being that there's a lot more metaphysical power behind a Lady than a Knight.

Ahh my mistake, that does change things a lot, most people by that point have settled into their positions and are relatively big hitters, Dresden is probably the most relatively vulnerable/unsettled in the whole cast.
I'm really unsure how things would go, of course that means you will have to write faster

Given that we have seen Walkers fuck about with their forms, I'd call it a temporary measure. Bluntly, I'm not seeing any containment short of Demonsreach being enough to hold one of them for long. And if Nemesis is in fact the final Walker, possibly not even that.

Stop encouraging me when I have my own quest to keep up with too, darnit!
More seriously, I think I have a good general outline of events, and I'm just going to let the characters go where they will within that. You've got a good chance of another section tomorrow, as I've made a start on it. But for now, sleep!

Of Worms and Monkeys
Elsewhere, Elsewhen.
Days, years, centuries, time seems meanigless in this place, for countless eons you have struggled to reach your gods, only to be dragged to the Cage again and again, fought the horrors that lurk this place, only to be made a plaything until they grew bored of you.
Nothing ever changes, new essarians arrive on their own pilgrimage, Young Warriors as you once were, old shamans, the crazy and the Brave, none last long, only your own struggle carries own through the twisted tides of time.
Then, a new arrival, a Young boy, his face so alike and yet so different from your sleeping gods on their crystal coffins. He is something new, a herald of their people? But like so many before, he is caught.
You watch him for a time, maybe securing his release will point you in the right direction, give you a flash of inspiration, anything that gets you closer to what you need to do!
And then, everything changes, new arrivals, you watch them too, but then they do... Something, the ground ripples and changes, and storm clouds gather in the fake sky...
"I don't know if we have time to fight this thing before we have whatever coming for us arrives."
The little one says, and then they leave.
Everything goes to hell quickly from there, the few constants of this place torn asunder as whatever is coming makes its entrance.
The place transforms around you, nothing you havent seen before, but this time It seems more real, like almost the now dreamlike memories of reality, yet somehow beyond that. A forest of crystal and Blood and ripples, of shattering mountains and moving continents, not a forest, a god.
And in an instant, It all impossibly centers on you.
You half see half remember seeing for the first time, a massive being swimming through the ether, a thousand thousands shards of a god dancing and colliding and collapsing, you see the world, the worlds as they move towards you, but something i wrong, the pieces are not falling as they should, the space between spaces is shattered and rend, and an abyssmal feeling of loss overwhelms you as your point of view is torn from the collective and you being to fall.
[EXPERIMENT]
[SURVIVAL]
Simple orders, to find yourself in time.
Second Day of the Seventh Month 292 AC
You wake up in a clearing, Yeg of Essaria, you remember seeing something, but as you try to grasp It, It is lost.
Instead, a multitude of thoughts replace It, ideas half formed, Understanding of things that should be Lost, of great machines and simple tools leading to more complex ones, but mostly, you know of Magic.
You look at your hands, then pick up a rock and begin to work.
OOC: With all these crossover omakes i felt like writing a crossover on the other direction, meet Yeg, the Little Valyrian Magitek Tinker.
This might go nowhere, but It was fun to write.

Dude, you need to feed those at least a couple times a month or they die.It's the age of Omakes!!!
I seriously need to find where I buried my muse. I have so many ideas and they need to be written.
You might need to get yourself a new one.
