A special thanks to Tundrafrog and Blackhand who aided me in getting this RP together.
This RP will take place one year after the events of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. In Skyrim the Stormcloak rebellion was put down by the Empire with minimum casualties. The Empire, however, did suffer one major casualty, Titus Mede II. With their Emperor gone the Empire has retreated back from all other affairs to lick their wounds and work out their political dilemma.

A ship departing from Falinesti, Valenwood, carrying 70 very different people is due to dock in Stros M'kai before continuing on too Dagerfall. The ship however, does not make it. Though tails of a massive storm are running rampant through Falinesti the captain of "The Tide Blade" refuses to stay. Against all common sense the captain continues on his voyage with all of his passengers.
This captain, a Bosmer called Fernatil, is not by any means normal. Many rumors surround the crazed Bosmer and his ship, but he still offers some of the lowest charge of any sailors on the West Coast.
The ship, however, never reaches Daggerfall, in fact, it does not even make it to Stros M'kai. Instead nature decides to show it's strength in one, great wave, destroying the ship. All is not lost though. Of the 70 passengers on-board 35 managed to make it to the shore of a nearby, uninhabited island.
At first glance the island appears to be ordinary. Before long, however, the new residents notice something isn't quite right. Darkness seems to hang thick in the air and odd creatures prowl the jungle. On this island the group must try to work together to survive the dark dangers of this hell hole and, hopefully, make it off in one piece.

This RP will follow this shipwrecked group as they struggle to survive, and eventually, thrive. This will be a community-based RP with strong survival and horror elements. While there will be combat in this RP it will not rotate around it, so I strongly suggest characters with some non-combat skills.
To enable mid-RP joins there will be a few NPCs available that an RPer can claim, saying that they've been there the whole time. Your character must have a reason for being on the boat, I encourage you to try to make it interesting. Though it's not required, I'd like it if you try to have your character have a "skeleton in the closet", "dark secret", or "Completely screwed up past" that could come into play in the RP.

I cannot stress this enough- Try to make your character as normal as possible. This RP is not Hack-and-Slash oriented, just to make everyone more comfortable I have given my character literally no combat ability at all. For a more character-oriented feel I will try to do a small story line revolving around each individual character. To make this I will shoot you a PM and the two of us will get an idea together for your quest.
Just as a warning, Your character may be killed or injured in the course of the RP. I will not do this without a warning, of course, that simply wouldn't be fair. To keep everything orderly we'll have a few rules.
1. We'll take a vote on most important matters, majority rules. Remember, however, that overall I have the final word in things.
2. Tundrafrog and Blackhand both helped me immensely in this and will serve as Co-GMs. If I'm away they will enforce rule one.
3. No character-controlling without special permission from the person being controlled.
4. Romance is good but don't go overboard. Overall follow the forum rules.
5. No killing other RPers characters without permission from the person being killed.
6. Try to make your posts a reasonable length. Overly short posts or short story posts usually aren't to enjoyable to read.
7. Have fun!
I'm open to anything that will improve the RP so if you have an idea that you think might positively benefit it don't hesitate to offer it up.
