The Orcs created Orsinium, an Orcish city built on an uninhabited mountainside, herding their shaggy centipede herdbeasts. But Orsinium continued to grow and prosper in the First Era mainly due to the Orc refugees who were fleeing Hammerfell due to the Ra Gada invasion. After a while, the Orsinium army grew determined to capture the Bjoulsae River and force the kingdom of Wayrest to provide compensation for its services. Naturally, this did not settle well with their neighboring kingdoms, especially the Kingdom of Daggerfall, who was mostly responsible for the siege and destruction of Orsinium. In 1E 948, King Joile of Daggerfall sent a letter to Gaiden Shinji of the Order of the Diagna, which proposed a joint attack on Orsinium. Agreeing to provide aid, an alliance was formed between the Order of Diagna and the armies of Daggerfall (High Rock) and Sentinel (Hammerfell). The armies amassed and began a campaign for the destruction of Orsinium.
1E 965
The allied forces of Daggerfall, Sentinel and the Order of Diagna have launched their attack on Orsinium. The Orcish kingdom of Orsinium is proving very difficult to defeat. The "Siege of Orsinium" has taken 15 long years, consuming great warriors and heroes. Gaiden Shinji is among the heroes that have been have been killed in this war.

NOTE: This will have more than just fighting, you will sometimes be pulled out of the battle, and you will use strategy. You may even have to recruit farmers and peasants.'

ALLIED SIDE
guyguyson (Akivra Serizoko)
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Race:Yokudan
Birth sign: Warrior
Appearance: 6'2", Brown eyes, light brown skin tone, short black hair with slight curls, athletic build.
Team: Allied Kingdom
Class: Akivraian (personal sword style)
Skills: Blessed with great reflexes, hand eye coordination and being of a race endowed with great strength meant matters involving a blade were as natural as breathing to the young Yokudan. He also has some skill with a smithing hammer and is able to brew very basic potions.
Weapons: An Ebony infused silver katana, finely balanced and slightly stronger than pure silver but also made heavier by the ebony.
Clothes/Armour: A simple chain mail hauberk, leather grieves, boots and gauntlets. Other Items: His father’s war medallion that is supposed his bring him courage and luck in times of despair.
Personality: Good natured, loyal and conscientious. Can seem arrogant and be overly critical of others. He has a misplaced sense of entitlement driven by pride causing him to look down upon certain types of people, though the war has beaten some humility into him.
Hard battles have forced him to at least respect other races and never to underestimate Orcs, regardless of this he still prefers not to mix with them and would rather keep company with his own kind.
Brief History: Akivra was born into a rich family, not quite nobility but reasonably wealthy. His father was a veteran solider and a skilled smith who made a living repairing and crafting weapons and armour after his time in the military was at its end. Akivras mother possessed knowledge in alchemy and was able to bring in extra money teaching and brewing potions to sell to the public. Akivra learnt a great deal from his parents but his knowledge was further increased by the best trainers his parents were able to afford. With war falling shortly before he was born his parents knew at some point he was likely to be conscripted to the military, with this in mind they began preparing him from an early age to give him the best chance of survival. Akivra was able to master the use of a sword fairly quickly and was able to incorporate his own unique form into his teachings, much to the surprise and eventual admiration of his trainers. On the other hand being able to beat his peers in spars led to great envy from some and praise from others. This praise eventually led to a the delusion that the young Yokudan was better than his comrades and was somehow destined for greatness ahead of the others. Akivra developed a misplaced sense of pride somehow feeling he was superior to his peers, rather then boast about his "greatness" he tried to offer other students advice and improve their form. It seemed his fathers nationalism had passed onto him...Therefor other students had mixed opinions about Akivra, they either viewed him as a gifted tutor and possibly a friend or as an arrogant bully, the latter was exacerbated by the redguards impatience. Akivra had trouble, somewhat due to his youth, understanding why something so seemingly easy to him was so difficult for others to grasp.His childhood cumulated into the personality he had today, his inevitable (and personally sought after) conscription would eventually change him for better or for worse as reality took its toll...

It can only be used once a day however, and if he is too fatigued, it will cause him to lose all his energy and collapse.
Personality: Kind and faithful, to people he likes. But sardonic and venomous to those he dislikes. Hates Orcs and dislikes Altmer.
Brief History: He was born in Daggerfall. Where he was victim to a long time of Bullying by Altmeri children, because he was not as adept at magic as most, from this was born his dislike of Altmer, as well as his short patience.
He was unemployed and his mother, a badly paid messenger died on the road in an Orcish ambush, and this created his hate of Orcs. Because of his difficulty involving magic, Chasse searched for his combat style, and he proved very proficient in swordsmanship, so he was apprenticed to a sword fighting trainer in Camlorn, so he moved there.
He had mastered the art of the blade before his master had died, and he was once again unemployed, but when there was a call to arms to fight the Orcs, whom he always hated, Chasse joined up, and now, 15 years later, he is fighting in the siege of Orsinium, he has risen in the ranks to a sergeant.

He anything to win except endanger his own comrades unless there's no other option available.
Brief History: Isato is a 9th Generation Ulvus. The Ulvus family was instrumental in the overthrowing of the Alyeids as the entire family played a role in the Revolution. However, after the Ulvus family played such a huge role, commanding a vast number of troops and destroying forts around Cyrodiil, they were not yet Dark Elves so never saw Morrowind as a home unlike the other Chimer.
But after the Chimer became the Dark Elves, the Ulvus family was too late to make a House. Rather, they manipulated various people who had power in various regions. For nine generations, it took place and when Isato became the new heir of the Ulvus fortune, they got involved in the Allied Kingdom because of the 8th Heir, who was blackmailed into doing so.
Isato, being young, was chosen to fight alongside two of the Ulvus family's best warriors to earn his place as heir.
Hi!(2nd) (Tharasn Dalvas)
Gender: Male
Age: 36
Birth sign: The lord
Race: Dark Elf
Appearance: 6'1, 190 pounds, Athletic Build. At a first look he appears weak, but under his mithril armor you can see his body has undergone rigorous training. His face appears more Imperial than Dunmer, with low set cheek bones and a serious face. His hair is a violent red and is let loose. His eyes are the typical red seen in most Dunmer but they have the look of experience. Just by looking into his eyes you can see that he has watched more than his fair share of horrors. His face has one scare that runs across his right cheek, a careless mistake that serves as a reminder never to show mercy

Brief History: Born into a family of noble decent, he was given a decent education. Originally he was to become a scribe, but after showing increasing potential on the sparing field he was destined to a lifestyle of delicate death dealing.

He wasnt given a fair assessment of his abilities and put on the front lines, doesnt matter to him.... He was born ready
