Haha...I totally forgot we had this forum.
Okay, so I'll just explain what I'm working on right now.
Do all of you remember Attack on Fort Sutch from Oblivion? Well, I thought it was the best minor quest in the game, though it was wayyyy too short. So, I've decided to not only lengthen the quest, but make it lead into a whole questline.
So, the basic idea is that the first time you arrive at a Holorian fort, Fort Govium, you learn that a Doraean (steppe raider) army is riding towards the garrison. You must ride to a nearby friendly Doraean tribe and convince them to relieve the Holorian garrison.
If any of you are confused, you'll learn why the some Doraeans are friendly while others want to eat your face. There are three seperate tribes of the so called "Northern" Doraeans: The Marduk, the Kanduk, and the Lasvak. While the Kanduk is friendly and the Lasvak are somewhat neutral, the Marduk are an aggressive and warlike tribe. They don't care who they kill, as long as that person is in their way, it's fair game. So the Marduk sometimes launch surprise attacks on Holorian forts on the eastern border of the empire.
So anyway, the friendly tribe, the Kandak, send reinforcments and you must ride back with them and defeat the Marduk invaders.
I won't give away anymore about the battle, but you're probably wondering what this has to do with a questline. Well, if you travel back to the Kandak, you'll be offered the chance to join them. Should you choose to, the entire Doraean quest line will open up to you.
What's so special about this quest line? Well, much like any faction quest, you'll see things go from bad to worst. As you advance in status among the tribes, you'll see the three Northern Doraean tribes start to drift slowly apart. Thing might even result in a schism, or worst still, civil war.
