[ Little, then. Lancelot draws himself up a little, frowns as he focuses. ]
Each side of this war has had its own formidable weapon at some point. Caer Glaem once had a dragon. I know not how it came to fall, but after a battle some time ago it was trapped beneath the mountain of Redgate and was bound there in a sleep of some sort. Some Seelie shardbearers went to wake and free it a few months back but... it went poorly. I believe they tried to ask permission, were denied it and tried to press on regardless. The city was built over and around the mountain, the dragon destroyed much of it being broken free and came to die outside Caer Glaem after being attacked.
[ He hesitates, presses on. ]
If we could make them think the dragon yet lived they would not be expecting it. Magic can do many things. Call weather, elements, change an appearance. How it is done would be up to those who achieved it, but if we could even give the impression the guardian of Caer Glaem still lived it would send the Unseelie troops into panic. So far as they know, no dragons are even left living in this world. There are people here who saw it before it died. They could provide any details needed. All we need is a way to make the trick work. It would be surprise enough to give us an edge.
...nevertheless... that sounds like an absolutely fantastic idea. Even if it may be easy to gather intelligence that it was an illusion... it'd provide an excellent display of shock and awe if it were to be used at the opening of a battle.
So, clearly we'd need illusion, which... well, first thing's first, I believe I could accomplish if we had some sort of large flying thing to base it around. I think an anchor would make it easier to focus and give it more of an organic feel, really.
[ He nods agreement, a little relieved in some ways that Kayneth agrees the plan is sound. ]
There are two others I think would be beneficial. Korra, who attended the original trip and knows the dragon. How it should behave, look, and so on. Equally she carries a gift, of sorts. Not quite magic but similar in elemental concept. The other is a man named Charles Xavier. He has gift for effecting the minds of others, what they see. The effect of this trick will need to be as strong and wide-spread as we can keep it. I think his assistance would be invaluable.
