Well, Winter Long can't be killed, but they can be damaged pretty hard. Coseley is not really all there when met in BoH. That's rumored to be the result of an Apostle run from CS.
And while it is likely Neighnia is extremely hard to kill even when compared to other Names (and I'd remind you how...
If a Name wanted to start a cult it would've done so before it was summoned. Like Master did.
Also no, not all Names ascended with cults. Even in CS you don't need to actually start a cult to ascend. Exile even can't start a cult.
Unbound Names are easier to deal with than Names bound to our enemy.
Actually, when I think about it, as long as she has Names bound to her, any long-term Copper imprisonment is a major risk.
We don't need to bind Names to our service, it is enough to come to an understanding with them, or send...
It came to my mind that Copper may have summoned more Names than just Neighnia. If anything, it seems likely.
Look, Velvet is a lone pony if we look at the Lores side. She acted mostly alone when she was in the cult, and only had a bit of help from Names since she left. She is good at what she...
I see manuscripts thrown around a lot as a potential evidence, but can they really lead to us?
The big deal about The Loremaster was that nobody, except Velvet and her closest friends, knew The Loremaster is Velvet. Not everyone even believed The Loremaster was real.
And then when cult...
IMO priorities should be like this:
1. Copper. We want her dealt with, permanently.
2. Neighnia. We want her out of the cult's reach. Preferably in our reach, but we can compromise on that.
3. Resources. Loot/evidence.
4. Inner circle. It is likely they lie low after attack and may slip through...
Power - yes. Temperament - no.
She is a Winter name, who was called "the gentlest" of her patron.
So not Mareinette and more Baldomare or at worst Biedde.
That's actually a high possibility.
Though 'killing' her in some manner is likely to undo her bindings, but also likely to offend her. Or...
Do we really?
If she gets unsummoned we likely can summon her again if only anypony who works with us and knows enough about Lores meets her, even in the Wake.
If she doesn't, she is now unbound, and we can negotiate with her. Not from a position of power, as we would be if she was bound, but...

I dislike a bit Neighnia solution is violence here.
Sure, if it comes to blows, they shouldn't hesitate, and she is dangerous... But most likely without a binding she is a threat in a same way non-Dawnbreaker Celestial is a threat: a very powerful entity, who may or may not view Velvet with...
The problem would be doing it in a manner which wouldn't be suspicious, since as far as I understand Velvet doesn't have a way to contact him without the letter passing through the main house (though maybe I missed something). And if Steppes could be convinced to not ask too many questions or...
ntr won't even be the worst thing that could happen.
We are talking Mareinette here. You know, the child-eating monster?
On the plus side, if she manages to put these kind of ideas into Spoiled Rich's head that would make Spoiled Rich truly deserving to be Mothed. And maybe even Grailed or...
And that's what I get for delaying my own Worm/SH quest for like eternity. Somebody starts it first!
Well, maybe it will serve as an inspiration or reason for me to speed up my preparations.
[X] Plan Time's Up - Rarity Digging
I think I would prefer for Mareinette to find a victim instead, but this is good enough and I don't think any new plan would manage to gather votes quickly enough.
By the name standards she is a a solid mid-grade monstrosity. Thankfully we never met any Nowhere-Names, especially Crowned Growth ones. But even among the Ligeans she at least has (or had) strong contenders for the title of the most monstrous
So, idea, maybe bad.
We were planning to send Biedde with a team to deal with Copper ASAP, right?
That means sending Bureau after her is redundant, even if it would likely increase the morale.
However, maybe somehow turn their attention to Windy instead, somehow paint him as an attecker? He...
I suspect it is more like "it feels like something familiar, but it actually is not", like that picture where you can see a lot of shapes that your brain tries to register as familiar things if you just look closer, but when you do they are just shapes. It would be very Moth.
