[Executor]

Order-misfortune, or turmoil-luck are the usual choices. If you take misfortune consider having 1- provinces the entire game due to indies, and luck just gives you a lot of gems basically.

I'd recommend order.

Heat3 obviously, death 1-2 is always good if you don't have old mages.
Don't take drain, don't ever take drain, but if you do go straight for skull mentors than.

An imprisoned or sleeping pretender, you really don't need him for expansion or anything.
As for bless scales, take something that befefits Raksarajas, E/N/W

Example,
O3
S1
H3
G/D 0
L/M 0
M1

Sleeping druid, W6/E4/N6 Dom 7

Doe I'd take S3, D1, Misfortune 2 personally for a better bless, and imprisoned pretender.
