Yeah I had to press charges.

Ok so far this is what I think I want to do for the setting; The players will be a group of Men and Women of Akaviir in the late 4th era. (Don't kill me lore buffs!) I don't think that's impossible because like in real life TES in-game sources can be unreliable. They will be in Akaviir, in a small village hidden in the mountains, because they are remnants of the Akaviri man civilization that was gobbled up by those jerk Vampire Snakes :tops:

Ok, sensible, now, eh, what race came from akavir? let me look it really quick, when are you going to make it?

edit: It was men, Imperials, Nords, Bretons

No, Imperials Bretons and Nords descended from the Nedes who come from Atmora

Akavir is home to the Kamal (Demons) Tsaesci (Vampric Snake Men) Tang Mo (Monkey people) and the Ka Po' Tun (Tiger-Dragon men) and at one time there was a race of men. But according to one source of lore they were all eaten by the Tsaesci. (Which I find illogical)

Well, like many of the lore buffs said, all of them getting eaten up could have two meanings. One could really mean they were eaten by the Tsaesci. The other and the one I believe is that they were asorbed into their culture, which would explain the ghost of the akaviri man in the pale pass I think it was. They could have been used as slaves and frontline troop fodder in the battle against Tamriel.

Both versions still make it highly plausible that there are remnants of the Akaviri men alive and well

*lorebuff hat on*
Nitpick: The "Atmoran Origin Theory" has long been debunked. Instead, "Frontier, Conquest" is correct: Men, too, originate from Tamriel. Some colonised Atmora and later returned, thats the Nords. The Cyrodiilians and the Bretons directly descand from the Tamrielic human native population, though.
*lorebuff hat off*

Late 4E? Seeing as wed be pretty much isolated from Tamriel, is there a reason to have it so far in the future? It could happen pretty much at the same time as Daggerfall, Morrowind or Oblivion, and Tamriel wouldnt notice, after all...

And yes, remnaints are always plausible, but... well, theres a practical problem with it, IMO: The culture. Those Akaviri Men would have a kinda unique culture. And if we play Akaviri men, our chars of course would intimately know that culture. So either that requires you make up something and post something about Akaviri Men cultur ehere, or there is, well, a gap...

Late 4E was just an example, the time is really irrelevant as long as Tamriel's empire is in a currently strong state and as for culture, we know that their culture was very similar to that of Tsaesci and the evidence shown in-game is that Tsaesci culture is similar to that of real world eastern cultures.

Not much is known of Akavir or its races, We can pretty much do whatever we want within reason and it isn't violating anything.

Yeah, but there ideally oughta be internal coherence... but I guess Faldom has a point, we can simply take the East Aisan cultures as a model.

Use the Lore as best you can, Model it after ancient Orientel and Eastern cultures, and add in a bit of mixed personal opinion.

I say yes. Akivir hasn't been touched much, and the little we know we can follow. But the rest is for US to interpret as we wish. Which is great. If the next ES game comes out and you venture to Akivir and we're totally wrong on everything, then fine, as long as we had fun. But one thing is the devs visit these boards. What if this RP is successful, and the devs read something they like, and when/if your character in future TES games goes to Akivir, there are things there that essentially WE drew up? Not likely at all, but the possibility makes me want to be part of it.

Plus, Akivir is awesome and I'm drawn to it. So I say yes.

Here's 2 more ideas:

A.) The oblivion crisis not only hit Tamriel, but also Akivir. It's different, as I don't think Akivir has much knowledge of the Daedric Princes. It could be interesting.

B.) After the Oblivions crisis, Akivir prepares a second invasion of Tamriel to pur a spark to the beginning of the Fourth Era.

I would love to be one of the proud Men of Akavir, or one of the Tang Mo.

I don't think so, Tamriel is the great continent according to lore and all races and Gods want it
From the great book, http://www.imperial-library.info/obbooks/mysterious_akavir.shtml

I think Mehrunes Dagons' main objective was Tamriel.

And W00tz I could see the Tang Mo as friendly to the men.
