Pacifying the City

From the standpoint of control of the masses, the elder brain's rate of tadpole vivipary is disappointing - there will never be enough larvae to tadpole all the citizens of Baldur's Gate, or even the majority. The alternative approach to pacifying the city is two-pronged: First, we take control of the municipal executive functions from the top down by leveraging fear of the Absolute to get me appointed Baldur's Gate's Archduke. Second, we deploy a program of selective tadpoling of key individuals as larvae become available, until all the city's power centres are effectively under our - MY - control.

Assuming the success of this scheme, we should be able to spare a nursery or two of tadpoles to begin the same process in Amn. I must interview my southern agents to determine who will be best to execute this plan.
