I am working on a project right now that, amongst many Daggerfallesque things, enhances the looks of Cyrodiil's cathedrals.
Oblivifall has been announced: http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1038866&st=0

I also want to add names and epitaphs to the bodies found in the numerous chapel undercroft areas. And now, I thought it would be cool to have them named after characters that you, Oblivion players, use.

I am looking only for dead characters who were famous for their heroic deeds, their standing or simply had money to be buried there.
No bandits though. Because, afterall, you wouldn't find bandits and criminals having their private tombs inside a chapel's undercroft!

Do no post spoilers related to Oblivion's quests. If you feel the need to do so, put them in spoiler tags

!

If you are interested, submit me here your character's information like this :

Name :
Famous for/Profession :
City in which you want the character buried :
Date of birth and death :
Brief epitaph (Optional but recommended)

Please know that I accept only characters with Lore-Friendly names, and also characters whose heroic deeds are not associated with any of Oblivion's quests. I'll change the names if they don't fit with the lore.

Number of Corpse/Tombs in each Cathedral :

Leyawiin : 15/19

Bruma : 19/19 (DONE)

Chorrol : 15/18

Cheydinhal : 15/43

ANvil : 8/10

Bravil : 7/10

Skingrad : 10/10 (DONE)

Kvatch : 5/8

Temple of Ancester Moth: 1/13 (10)

95/150

(We can do it!)

Always one to love having my character interred, have a corpse! And some cake, wouldst thou enjoy the cake? :cake:

Name: "Saint" ("True name unknown", but if necessary I can make one up.)
Famous For: Discovered the magical formula for material displacement, commonly known as fast travel.
City: Chorrol
Date of Birth: 3E 413
Date of Death: 4E 39 (Unsure if my math is right, but I want him dead at age 54 )
Epitaph: "Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings."

Hell if i know if this is good

Name: Vasilli Koslov
Famous For: Reraised the Kvatch flag in the capital of Kvatch when the Daedra were beat back by the Champion of Cyrodill
City: Kvatch
Date of Birth: 3E 415
Date of Death: 4E 20
Epitaph: Charged straight into the Daedric threat and combated it, and was rewarded by reraising the Kvatch flag after repelling the invasion.

The cake is a lie, isn't? Then no thank you.
If you don't mind, I could use a lore-friendly name and another reason for being famous.
As for the Date of Birth and Death, the game takes place in 3E 433, so I'll change his date of death to 3E 430.
Epitaph is good.



I'll change your name to a more lore-friendly name.
Can you find another reason for being famous? I prefer to avoid any links with Oblivion's quests.
Again, I'll change the date of birth an death.

Kvatch has been besieged in the past, I'll need to check the lore references to know exactly when, but your character could instead have died in this previous battle.

Thank you for your submission!

Name: Mona Millox, Breton Alchemist
Famous for: She wrote the first scientific treatise on the nature of the Nirnroot.

(Some more background: She was born in Daggerfall and moved to Anvil at a very young age. She fell in love with the city and spent most of her life there, occasionally traveling to the Imperial City in order to attend to some symposiums of alchemy and also to research different kinds of plants out of her area. She was highly admired in Anvil and in all Cyrodiil for her expertise in alchemy and also for being kind and generous to the needy and poor people, often giving healing potions for free when somebody needed. She died at the age of 65 when she went to explore an old cave near Chorrol in search for the elusive "underground nirnroot" that had been mentioned in some books. Her body was discovered three days later by some members of the Fighters Guild that were hired to find out what had happened to her. It is believed that she was attacked by some wild animal or monster inside the cave and not even her magic could save her. The Count of Anvil and his family attended to her funeral, a sign of how she was loved by the people of Anvil.)

City in which you want your character buried: Anvil

Yet again, another corpse for Anvil. The epitaph is awesome.
For Henderik Tyn, I'm afraid there are no undercroft in the Imperial City (I should have mentioned that. ) But I can place you in Chorrol. The temple is dedicated to Stendarr, Patron of the Legions.

Certainly. There are dead children.
In Cheydinhal, you can stumble upon the tomb of a certain girl who never saw her 6th birthday. Her epitaph mentions that the Tribunal shall mercilessly exterminate the Dark Brotherhood. Coincidence? Hmmm.
