Chanos Objective
The Chanos Objective is the plan of the Far Shores Dragon-Blooded, and their allies, to eliminate the imposter posing as the Scarlet Empress (Vengeance in Scarlet Regalia). The plan includes building a temple to Mela in the prefecture of Chanos, and getting the false Empress to leave the Imperial Palace to bless the temple's opening dedication ceremony. This page exists for the players to discuss the plan as a group, as it continues to evolve between games before our next game session.
Quick outline
temple itself
large courtyard -- sized to make easy landing for two airships (what class? i forgot) wards against fleeing fair folk, just in case the empress goes into the temple or tries to leave courtyard
red piss legion to pose as masons working on temple
they will serve to distract empress' backup
temple really built by singing staff myar will steal hearthstone(s) from imperial ships to disable but not destroy them one imperial ship to be grounded by singing staff (bury but not destroy the airship)
not clear on how involved dragonblooded will be played to destroy empress
" My Cousins plan was brilliant ,I must admit,We have waged war on the cretin Fair Folk known to us as Vengeance in Scarlet Regalia. Our victory was short lived and and delicious. We are now truly Exalted heroes, yet I feel as if the Dragons have left a responsibility on our shoulders to further rise just to save my beloved empire. I asked Sextus Jylis for wisdom, now I wish I hadn't. I find myself in a stolen Dynastic airship,after my meddling has made House Tepet into traitors, and allowed 10,000 Fair Folk to set foot on the Blessed Isle. Perhaps it would have been better if grandmother left me where I was? While miss my bedroom so very much, being here ,with Myar makes me see that it is my duty to fight this threat even at the cost of their lives. The sacrifices made by my brotherhood make me have a much greater respect for Cathak Roka.
Now, we are confronted with many fires and very little to put them out.
The Roseblack is being marched upon in Chanos (and she has all the evidence that can prove our innocence), House LeDaal has sent 2 legions to war with Mask of Winters, Fokuf has been kidnapped, and lets not forget those 10,000 Fair folk who march towards the Imperial City as I write this. I fear if we make the wrong choice, the bed I live to leisure in, will never know my warmth again."

" While I have every belief that I we the Fugitive Defenders of the Realm shall be victorious in our endeavor I have composed a message in a Recorder of Everlasting Glories. It goes as follows:
"Dragon-Blooded of the Scarlet Empire, I am Cynis Alano of House Cynis Daughter of Cynis Seren, Grandaughter of Cynis Belar and Great Grand- daughter of the Scarlet Empress herself. If you are seeing this than I am no longer in this world and have moved on to my next incarnation, but the message I leave and the events you shall witness are of the utmost importance. Myself and my Brotherhood are on the Imperial mountain just outside of Juche. We stand here preparing to wage war with an overwhelming legion of Fair Folk their numbers range around 10,000 with more erupting from the gate even as I speak. The Realm has declared us traitors, but we are in fact doing what needs to be done to prserve our way of life. The only allies we were able to garner to fight this threat were House Tepet including Tepet Ajava and Tepet Arada, a 1000 Mountainfolk, 100 Immaculate Monks, and a handful of errant dragon-blooded including my brotherhood. House Tepet is guilty of no crime,and should they die in this foray know that they die not as traitor but as heroes who stood against the greatest threat many of us have ever faced in our lifetime. In our exploits thus far we have done many things that others would paint as treasonous. What they will not tell you is we have discovered that the Empress is being held captive by unknown parties and that the war between the Realm and Thorns was provoked only as a munipulation by the Fair Folk to see us destroy ourselves. The Fair folk known only to us as Vengence in Scarlet Regalia posed as the Empress to beachead the invasion you are about to see. Tepet Arada, Cynis Nayuta, & Cathak Kiba struck the creature down only for to find it was a beginning not an end. My only request so that my soul may rest is that you take heed of my words and know they are true. Following are a list of names of all the persons who have sacrificed themselves to see us victorious on this battlefield. (List ALL the names of persons who have died since we started chasing the fake empress) and now for the festivities....." "ARCHERS!!!!" ~Cynis Alano~
Alano stands and whispers something to her Gilmyne that nods in understanding. She turns towards the gate that the fairfolk try tirelessly to uncover. She cocks her head to the side, and with a one-eyed smile she draws back the string of her bow, and releases the first arrow to to pay homage to the Realms feelings about invading Fair folk.
