So in theory people in the nearby islands could have seen the castle just rising out of nowhere right?

I am glad we have Dragons because walking up that stairs it's going to be a pain.

A New Home:
You looked out the towers, feeling the oily black stone that seemed to hold the great towers. The Port that you could see was carved through the island's entire width. All towards the port and an underground harbor. Protected from the summer stones, hurricanes Dragon fire, and lava.
The entire castle was reminding you of Dragonstone, your home, the stone that had clouded you in obsidian and Dragon Glass. Yet as you did, you looked to Vaegon who was sitting. "What did you do?"
Vaegon had been resting in his new, bare solar that was ready for him. Smooth tabletops, and chairs, comfortable at the touch, and of course, without books. The bed space for someplace to sleep was empty. But otherwise, it was as if he designed the castle for your family, your staff… and you.
He looked at you. "Giving you a place to survive what is to come," Vaegon stated as he rubbed his face. "There is a war coming, a terrible war, that is being played out in the shadows, one that even Viserys does not know about, and it will come to Westeros, and destroy it." He stated. "Something evil."
You narrowed your eyes. "I don't believe you uncle." You stated as the man coughed.
"Believe what you want. But unfortunately, that is something that I cannot deny. For the vision was from your sister."
Your eyes widened and rage filled your being as you grabbed the Maester, and held him out the window. "You know where she is!?" You demanded.
Vaegon was not surprised or shocked… in fact, he expected it. "Yes. She is safe from those that would use her gifts of prophecy to cause great harm to the world."
You still held onto his chains, but let him go a little lower. "Prophecy is an illusion." You proclaimed.
"To some yes, especially. Yet others see the ability to see the future as something far greater. Something far more powerful than just simple madness and trinkets. Men have died from it" He then paused. "And if you kill me, your father won't get his daughter back, for he will be destroyed."
"Where is she!" you growled.
"On the isle of Lang… the only place Savage won't be able to touch her." He then smiled as your grip loosened. "The warrior women of the isle, and that of the Boneway, have powerful magics to keep him from reaching her."
"Who is Savage?" You asked.
"A Man I wished I never trusted, whose words blinded me to the horrors that I have unleashed… more a god than an actual man. He wandered the East since time immemorial, a former Dorthraki that gained immortality through means that I do not know. Though Magic I cannot understand." He replied. "What little I know of him, is that he had eyes on Westeros since Valyria fell. Yet he could not have anticipated himself being caught, nor Aegon conquering Westeros, and forming his own kingdom." There was a sigh, as he moved past you, back to his chair. "I cannot speak for what his plans truly are… only that his plans involving Westeros are military in nature."
"Then how can I defeat him?" You asked.
"You cannot defeat what cannot die." The Maester replied. "It is why I made this place as I have. This is a fortress… and a prison. A Place to house him if we were to finally catch him. And your family has become its wardens."
You nodded, before scowling. "Damn you."
"Not until I am dead," Vaegon replied. "Be with your family. We have work to do."

Turns out, all the girls decide to carry the kids on their back going up the stairs, all the while they actually decide that Lucien's exercise regime is actually something that will make them good, and well.
Well. there will be adventures, but mostly familial in nature.

Those are pretty good picks, for the 10th and the last I would either start teaching our brides Time Management or try to get the Brethern Court in place...
I am really curious about Lord Westerling action, what happened? Is he going to break his vassalage to Lord Lannister? How does Lucien comes in?
Edit: Teaching Nyra and Ali Time Management seems a good ideia. Speaking of spouses do you think Laena has a bonus to getting twins since in cannon she is the only one to give birth to twins?

Yes.
He does, but he legally needs your help to do that, otherwise, all his tax money goes to the Lannisters... and they get a taste of it, they will never let go.
We own the island on a technicality.

Well, since only Alicent has Fertile because in Canon she had 4 children without any problem, and Nyra doesn't have it because poor Visenya was born dead I don´t think that Laena has it either (since she died in childbirth)...
@Ghost in the sun Another good idea dor the 10th action would be for Lucien to learn how to teach...
But to be sure @Magoose what would be the effects of teaching our wives time management (our kids are a little too young to teach them that stuff), will they get a bonus their rolls? Will they start increasing their skills/learning new ones due to the increase in "free" time? Will our kids get bonus since their moms will spend time with them more efficiently?

all I will say is this:
They will be getting into more adventures off-screen, instead of being solely focused on learning skills.
And more actions will become avalible.
I mean it's isn't exactly a fertility trait but a increased chances of twins, in fact the survival roll should have a malus instead because of twins birth difficulty.

That is actually pretty awesome let´s see if we can teach Time Management to the 3 of them at the same time next turn...
[X] Plan: Lets fill our Castle, Port and Coffers.
Yeah, we are never actually matching the production of the places that actually grow the spices.
What we DO control is naval access to several valuable ports for most the world. I suggest we eventually get into Banking as well once we have plenty of money since that would give the realm a choice between the Iron Bank or us, meaning actual options for where to shop for loans.

So I'm honor of the holidays let's see how the rest of the world:
Or rather the holidays going on in Westeros:
The Faith Holidays:D100 => 96 (As it turns out, religious holidays are a big deals and they are like party animals)
The Valyrian Holidays:D100 => 85 (The Valyrian holidays are really good, though the after parties are not nearly as wild as the faiths. But there ceremonies are much more awesome)
The Old Gods Holiday's:D100 => 12 (They only celebrate when winter ends.)
