Thanks! I have actually not mentioned that he is the creator of the Potion of Eternal Life, but instead that he's the longest living citizen in Leyawiin. I kept the same epitaph, which explains how he lived that long, without giving too much details. :)

Name: Garland McCuran (Imperial)
Famous: Lead a exploration into Black Wood and discovered Nirmroot. He sent most of his explorers back to Leyawiin and lead the rest deeper into Black Wood and were soon in Black Marsh.

Thanks again. I have removed the Count of Cheydinhal part and replaced it with Member of the Court of Cheydinhal.

Hehe I have put "easter eggs" for some of past Elder Scrolls characters. Though, in Oblivion, Jiub is still alive....until the main quest where you hear that he died. (It is an Easter Egg, but I prefer not to get him inside a Cyrodiil crypt. His body belongs in Morrowind)

If your still accepting individuals, here is my entry. If not, I'm still tossing this in.

Name: Morihaus I of Solitude
Race: Imperial
Abridged History: Imperial Steward* of Reman III, an accomplished mage, and the author of the Divine Commentary**. Known for his religious fervor, Morihaus the Atmoran*** acted as an ambassador for his leige and brokered many peace treaties and compromises to ensure law and order in the Empire. Specifically, he managed to establish a lasting alliance with the states of Skyrim**** after a uncertain period of civil unrest in the late First Era. While praying at the Chapel of Akatosh he was slain by an assassin sent by Potentate Versidue-Shaie, thus ushering in the Second Era and the Imperial Interregnum. Morihaus' corpse was taken back to his birthplace in Solitude where he remained until 3E 122, a year after the initiation of the War of the Red Diamond. His descendants, fearing for their lives*****, gathered their belongings, including the relics of their ancestors, and fled southwards. It would take several more years before Morihaus was properly laid to rest.
City of Burial: Bruma
Date of Birth: 1E 2848
Date of Death: 1E 2920 (72 years of age)
Epitaph: So passed Morihaus, son of Ysgramor******. And so too passed the days of the Second Empire and of the sons of Cyrodiil*******.

* As Imperial Stewards, Morihaus and his predecessors counselled the Emperor on affairs of the State and Religious affairs, acted on his behalf in important diplomatic missions, and served as the head of the Empire alongside the Elder Council during the absences of their leige. The Imperial Stewardship as a position in the Empire was abolished with the reckoning of the Second Era and has yet to be revived.
** The Divine Commentary was a seven part treatise on religion, exploring such subjects such as source of Creation, the Aedric/Daedric dynamic, the validity of the Emperor's Divine Mandate, as well as manner other ropics.
*** Morihaus I was known as the Atmoran due to his aggressive pro-Nedic stance over Aldmeric dominion. Nonetheless, he greatly admired the many cultures of the Elves.
**** Skyrim, throughout the late First and Second Eras, was a disparate coalition of several different Nordic states warring amongst each other as often as with the enemy.
***** As supporters of the Central Cyrodiilic Faction opposing the Wolf-Queen Potema, the House of Morihaus was under the threat of impending attack being in the heart of the enemy all along.
****** Morihaus the Steward was granted the title of Son of Ysgramor due to his work between Cyrodiil and Skyrim as well as the fact that he was an orphan lacking any actual parentage.
******* Refering to Second Empire of Reman Cyrodiil and his successors.

Author's Note:
If you intend on adding the Abridged History part of my character's biography, I suggest you drop the last three lines so that it ends with his death. Also, the asterixes (*) are merely there to provide more information about his background. When entering that in, it would probably be for the best if you dropped them as well.

The Primates of the chapels told me that there are many empty slots needed to be filled with fresh bodies. biggrin.gif

Especially in the undercroft of the Order of Arkay. Since the crypt has been extended, so are the number of slots to fill with coffins.
In the other chapels, I've decided to use the cathedral altars found in the Undercroft to stash Urns. In the vanilla game, I've always wondered what was the purpose of those small altars in the Undercroft. Then I noticed that an Urn containing the ashes of someone important fits perfectly on the Altar.

I currently have 66 bodies. With the extended undercroft in Cheydinhal and the Urns, I'm up to 150 possible bodies. So if you have character ideas, I'm ready to take more. :D

Thanks again to all of you who submitted characters. Because of your contribution, the Undercroft will actually have something worth visting them. :)

Race: Nord

Nice epitaph. :)
But pirates don't get buried in Undercrofts. :P

Name : Hector the clumsy

Race: imperial

Famous for : his constant habit of walking into walls

City in which you want the character buried : IC
Date of birth and death : (age 48)

Brief epitaph (Optional but recommended): 48 years is a ripe old age for someone who steps on rakes daily.


What would be his profession? I'm almost tempted to use the epitaph but with a different profession than "Walking into walls". :D

What will the mod be called? I would very much like to download it once it becomes available. :)


It is called "Losing My Religion", which is part of http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1038866

Name: Bladecaptain Kieron Di'Neer
Race: Imperial
Famous for: The personal bodyguard Uriel Septim's son, Enman Septim. Singlehandedly slayed fifteen Mythic Dawn assassins that were sent after his charge, two with his shield alone, before finally falling to six of them at once. Nearly completely foiled the assassinations.
City: any but bravil
Date of birth/death: 3E 399-3E 433
Epitaph: A Master Fighter and a true juggernaut in battle. Interred within is the honorable warrior that others are judged by.


I'm afraid members of the Blades would be buried in a tomb made only for the Order. Maybe Kieron Di'Neer could be an Arena champion?

Name : Kinata Shikomuze
Famous for : Being Cyrodiil's greatest mage, learning more than 75% of Midas spells, and owning a lot of cats.
City in which you want the character buried : Chorrol
Date of birth and death : (age 28)
Epitaph: May the daedra of oblivion forever cause you pain.


With an epitaph like that, that mage must have been pretty evil. Maybe it's because he was a cat person and Cyrodiil citizens are obviously fans of dogs.
I won't put her though. Thanks for the submission!

Very, very nice! Thank you for all the lore references. I will need ot make it much shorter, but an important character such as him will have a longer written background on his tomb.
(And that corpse is almost 1500 years old. That's a real relic. :D)

Saw Oblivifall, I'm looking forward to it, and hope this helps.

Name : Armelias
Race: Altmer
Famous for/Profession : Hunting down bandits wherever she could find them.
City in which you want the character buried : Anvil
Date of birth and death : Not familiar with Oblivion's years, but you say the game took place in 3E 433, so I'll try this: Born 3E 318, died 3E 405.
Brief epitaph: Spent her life punishing those who robbed her of her childhood.

Based on a little backstory I wrote for my current character.
Edit: If there's no room in Anvil, Bruma would work, then Cheydinhal.
