Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Chapter 57: The Knight
'Much has been said about the skill at arms that the Ruby Order's members displayed, and more so about their weapons. That they were exceptionally skilled at combat has been corroborated by so many trustworthy sources, only a fool would doubt it - the sheer amount of...
Chapter 223: Shockwaves Part 4
Near Asteroid S-1842, Saqqara System, February 12th, 2002 (Earth Time)
“Nirrti’s gloves have altered their surface!”
Jack O’Neill cursed at hearing Sam’s alert. “There’s the trap!”
“The gloves are… the gloves’ outer layer has liquified into a solution!”...
"Politicians" is slightly incorrect here. "Powerful rich people" would be more precise. It is just that without political power, you cannot be powerful and rich, or stay so for long, in Westeros or Braavos. You have to play the game, so to speak.
If he ever finishes it, of course.
Yeah. In a way, the show aging the characters up worked to counter that somewhat.
I have an Omake in mind where they return to Planetos in his time, but that's just a whimsy so far.
Chapter 56: The Rival
'A particularly persistent myth surrounding the Ruby Order is the claim that they not only visited Braavos but were responsible for some of the city's most famous traditions, such as the high esteem in which courtesans are held there, even today. I've already presented the...
Chapter 222: Shockwaves Part 3
Research Station Alpha, First Moon of Enchantment, February 7th, 2002 (Earth Time)
"No, no - that column needs to stay. It's far too easy to realise that the data has been tampered with if the basics are wrong."
"That's data directly taken from Apophis's...
Yang: Hey! I would say I was first to realise the truth! That's not falling!
I am not sure - I heard once he had a time skip planned to age up the Stark kids and didn't do it. I do think that if he had the ending planned, then after the reception the show's ending got, he is now revising it...
Ugh, that would be bad. Although there's also the "Oops! I totally forgot that skill/item/allied character that would easily solve this problem" moment, which is equally bad.
Chapter 55: The Courtesan
‘While, as was demonstrated, a visit of the Ruby Order to Braavos cannot be confirmed, the same is not true to the Faith of the Seven’s growth through Braavos, which started around the same time that the alleged visit was supposed to take place, albeit at a far more...
Chapter 221: Shockwaves Part 2
PQ-3721, Former Realm of Apophis, January 30th, 2002 (Earth Time)
“Looks like they didn’t need any help dealing with this.”
Catra, standing on the ridge overlooking the ruins of the village, the wreck and the craters above the secret research lab, rolled her...
Some people (Brynden and the Children of the Forest) have an idea about how to help them go home.
This isn't going to become some multi-crossover with the team jumping into other universes. The ending is already set (I don't start stories without having the ending in mind).
Next to making money, of course. And sinking slavers (unless that gets into the way of making money).
They want to go home, they jsut need to find the way home. And yes, Jon could be challenged as well, though he often stays in the inn.
RWBY: We cna give a demonstration if you want us to...
Chapter 54: The Kindly Man
'One of the more outrageous claims surrounding the supposed visit of the Ruby Order to Braavos is that they 'outfought the bravos and outshone the courtesans while outplaying the Sealord'. It goes without saying that none of those deeds finds any support in reputable...
Chapter 220: Shockwaves Part 1
Saqqara Orbit, Saqqara System, January 25th, 2002 (Earth Time)
Adora watched on the screen of the bridge as the last Ha'tak of Apophis's home fleet broke apart in Saqqara's atmosphere. That left the remaining escorts and Death Gliders without any capital ships...
Yeah. Some famous battles, even as relatively recent as early 14th century, are really hard to find good sources about, such as the Battle of Morgarten.
Ruby would be the first choice, Weiss second, since she's "obviously of Valyrian descent" and the most "aristocratic". Yang probably third...
Chapter 53: The Sealord
‘Another common misconception, likely the result of attempts to add greater legitimacy to the Church of the Seven in Braavos in the wake of the later treaties between Westeros and Braavos, is the claim that the Ruby Order not only conducted a diplomatic mission to...
