A Province Divided:



The Interregnum OOC And Sign Up Thread





The year is 2E 472, it has been nearly 500 years since Tamriel has had an Emperor on the throne. The provinces have broken apart into a complex web of small warlords and kingdoms. Even the Imperial Province is nigh unrecognizable.

Since the death of the Akaviri Potentate Savririen-Chorak forty years ago, the Empire has had a string of ineffectual leaders, unable to keep the old Counts from revolting. Soon, the Imperial City found itself separated from the rest of the Empire.

Finally, a minor warlord invaded the Imperial City and wiped out almost all of the Empire's remaining Legions.

Now what little remains of the old Reman Empire has retreated south to Leyawiin, and awaits its doom.

In the West, the highly independent lords of the Colovians swiftly united under the banner of the Colovian Empire.

In the north, a tribe of Boethia worshippers have taken over the former county of Bruma, instituting a new religion based on their Daedric Prince.

In the East, Cheydinhal has fallen to minor, bickering warlords fighting for control of small towns and villages.

In the South, Bravil and Skingraad have united as a single nation.

And on the rocky coasts of the Abbecean Sea, a small city state has formed.

This is a time of great hardship in Cyrodiil, a time of warriors and kings, of mages and assassins. Perhaps there is a new Reman amongst these young kingdoms, a leader that the people of Tamriel can unite around.

?All are sure is that the Interregnum has begun.

But there is still hope.

Recently, a council was called to meet in the White Gold Tower to discuss the future of Tamriel. The leaders of many of the kingdoms have sent representatives, and several leaders have also come. These debates may just be the spark to begin a bloody war, or may lead to a great peace that shall stand the test of time.

That was over a month ago now, and the situation has fallen apart. Two factions have formed, and have entered into a soon to be bloody war.

"This, this is the price of war. No matter how noble our intentions, in war we risk all that is pure. We truly are no greater than what our hearts allow. We must remember this every day, or it shall be our downfall." - Potentate Gaius Flavius Latartus, 2E 472"

"Most people understand how to use power, few know how to gain power, I know how to create power, and use it to smite all those who stand against me." -Cassamir Velan 2E 472
----------------------
This is a political RP set in Cyrodill during the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Interregnum, and we are still recruiting new RPers, just no more new factions unless it is an expansion on an EXISTING faction in our universe, the Cheydinhal Alliance is annexed by the Reman Empire so no more characters for that faction, as it would be too difficult for us to fit you in.

History:
Fadrill's early life was troubling to say the least, as he was sent to an orphanage at age 3 after his mother and father were killed by anti-daedric bigots. He has resented the divines to this day, as soon as he was skilled enough to begin killing in the name of Boethiah.

His first target was the man who killed his mom, an Imperial named Belan. The imperial was living a normal life in Skingrad, he had a wife, and two children. Fadrill was furious, the man slaughtered his family and then built one of his own! This was intolerable! Fadrill killed the father and mother leaving the child to Fadrill's fate, the child couldn't identify Fadrill so he was never caught.

Fadrill then began recruiting assassins forming a small company that all killed in Boethiah's name. Fadrill eventually met a man named Cassamir who employed him and asked to help Cassamir take control of Bruma from a warlord, the first thing Fadrill noticed about Cassamir was a boethian symbol hanging from his neck, He agreed and did as Cassamir asked. They took the city easily, as Cassamir had brought a friend named Orvas to help him, the warlord was no match.

He was then given a position as the leader of Boethiah's Hand, Cassamir's assassins who would eventually become his security detail as well. It was Fadrill who suggested that they take people of adequate strength, cunning, and determination at age 14 to train them in the ways of the assassin, or in the ways of the Warrior.
Arch-Magistrate, advisor and second in command
Spoiler

Name - Orvas Salothran
Race - Dunmer
Gender - Male
Height - 6'3
Age - 39
Moral Alignment - Neutral, with Good tendencies
Class - Witchhunter
Skills:
Combat - Trained in medium armor, and is a talented swordsman.
Magic - Can cast Restoration and Illusion magic at a relatively high level of proficiency, although he's far from a master of the arcane arts.
Stealth - While he prefers honorable combat, he has trained as an assassin.
Appearance - Orvas is tall and thin, with a bony, unattractive face. His fair is white, a common trait in his family, and he keeps it just above his shoulders. He has a number of square, white tattoos on his face and arms.
Inventory - He wears a full set of Bonemold armor, with a Chuzei helm. He has a white cloak with a number of black, Daedric symbols inscribed on it. The cloak was given to him as a blessing from the Archcanon, long before his exile. He wields a silver longsword, enchanted to cause crippling pain in Daedra and Undead, and a Bonemold shield.
Biography - Orvas was born in Deshaan, one of three children of a wealthy slave trader and his third wife. His brothers were blessed; his oldest brother, the son of the slave trader's first wife, was chosen by Ayem as a baby to lead Her Hands, and was given Her Blessing.
The second son, the child of the slave trader's second wife, was blessed by Seht (even then distant and reclusive), who proclaimed that the child would grow up to be the greatest mystic of the century.
It was widely believed that Vehk would bless Orvas, the youngest child, as the others of the Tribunal had with his siblings. However, when the baby was born, the third of the Tribunal never came, and so the third child was left unblessed.
His mother disappeared like the slave trader's past wives not long after he was born, and so he spent his early years as a sickly and neglected child. The slave trader married twice more, but fathered children with neither wife.
When Orvas was a teenager, it was discovered that his father had killed all of his wives, and his punishment was to be exiled to Black Marsh, where he presumably soon perished. Orvas spent the next few years under the care of the local Temple priestess, a jovial and eccentric old Ashlander called Kil, who delighted in telling stories about her childhood in the wastes.
Around then, Orvas was cynical and faithless, growing interested in Western culture and the worship of the Bad Daedra, among other taboos. However, Kil slowly began to turn him back towards the path of the Tribunal, and eventually he completely renounced his heresy.
When he was seventeen, he joined the Morag Tong, who taught him of both honor, and assassination. In those days, the Morag Tong rarely set foot outside of Morrowind, but prospered in their homeland. Despite the lucrativeness and honor of being an assassin, briefly after his training was complete he joined the Temple, becoming a spy and diplomat for them.
Will his brothers became famous for their battles against all manner of heretics and monsters, he busied himself with a much quieter life of service to the thrice-blessed. He worked mainly as an inquisitor, keeping the Houses in line and searching for any rebels against the Temple.
However, eight years ago, tragedy struck. His brothers, who had grown callous and weak, forsaking the glory the gods had given them for lives of excess and luxury, became jealous that their unblessed, far weaker younger brother had become closer to the thrice-blessed then they had.
His older brothers framed him for worship Mehrunes Dagon, and the Temple quickly tried to arrest him. His old contacts in the Morag Tong, refusing to believe he'd grown corrupt, helped him flee Morrowind for Bruma, where he quickly gained favor in the local court. Despite the rise of Boethiah's Legion, he's made it clear that he continues to worship the Tribunal, even if the Temple has forsaken him. Despite his difference of belief, he's grown to be a respected official in the Legion, and has sworn himself to it's advancement throughout Cyrodiil.

Spoiler

Roughly 15,000 soldiers are left after the disastrous defeat at Imperial City, and they have re-consolidated in Leyawiin to prepare for the final stand of the Empire.
10,000 legionairres, 4,700 ancillaries, and 300 cavalry.

Each legionary is equipped with a throwing spear, a large full body shield, a short sword, chain mail covered by steel shoulder pads and chest plates. They also have all the supplies needed for sieges, like shovels and hammers.

They are good at engineering siege engines on the spot, and are very well disciplined.

The ancillaries are made up of volunteer soldiers, with light armor, they are used as flanking and distracting forces. They have the same short swords, and have smaller round shields.

The cavalry is heavily armored with steel on the horses and riders. They are similar to Cataphracts, but they are hard to use in the lush jungles of southern Cyrodiil.

They are still strong, but are divided, and there is not a single full legion. The command structure is divided, and leading them is like herding cats. But they are all well trained, and career soldiers.

5,000 heavy infantry, 8,000 light infantry, 3,000 archers, 2,000 Calvary, 1,000 engineers, and 550 scouts.

Heavy Infantry, Decked out in the heavy version of the traditional Anvil Armor, they are are used as a brute force and are the spearhead of the Anvil military. They normally carry spears and a longsword. They always use a shield.
Light Infantry, Wearing the light version of the Anvil armor, (without the Chainmail and steel.) they are used to protect flanks and even flank the enemy. they won't often use a spear, uses a shortsword, and a light shield.
Archers: In light armor, they use a bow and arrow to kill the enemy from afar. They mostly use the traditional bow but about 500 of them are equiped with a crossbow.

The army has the advantage of good officers when it comes to strategies, and the determination of the troops themselves who believes in Aventius's goal in a unified Cyrodiil and will die to the last man for King Aventius and Cyrodiil. The flaw is that while they are decently trained, it is not enough compare to his potential enemies. Such as the Reman Empire.

The training is hard and many of the weak die or are expelled from the ranks. Trained and eventually led, by The Priests Militant they are unflinchingly loyal however they are not trained to be creative and depend upon their leader for instruction, for this reason each unit of Redeemed has two Priests Militant leading them. They all wear a white tunic with iron chainmail underneath. Half of them have been taught in the use of single handed Sabers and the other half have been trained effectively to wield crossbows in battle.

Personality: Kind, Wise, but harsh to his enemies, which he has a few of...
Unique Trait or Ability (if applicable): Ruler of the Protectorate of Border Watch
Background: When Border Watch declared its independence, Ma'zhadda was there, he signed the Document, and the people of Border Watch proclaimed him Elder of their new city-state. He commands his armies as they march on Fort Namon
But he has made his enemies, the Reman Empire, unhappy that they seceded from the Empire, weakening them further, but when the Khajiit take Namon and Water’s edge for the glory of Elsweyr, then Cyrodiil will know the power of the Khajiit, and they will tremble at the thought of their armies.
Allegiance: Protectorate of Border WatchPersonal bodyguard: D'vik (friend)
Successor: Ji'kaa (daughter)
Army Commander: Do'zzhar (colleague)

Brief Background:
Border Watch used to be an Elsweyrian village, until the Empire conquered Elsweyr and declared Leyawiin and surrounding areas to be part of Cyrodiil, but life never really changed for the inhabitants of border watch, most of whom were still Khajiit and valued the Khajiiti ways of life, living by the moons. Moon sugar and the art of Mercantile. As the Interregnum began, Border Watch became one of the last villages held by the Reman Empire, but they rebelled, and stated their independence with the aid of 840 Khajiit and Aldmeri troops.
Since then, the number of their troops has remained the same, but Elsweyr promises more troops if Border Watch can prove that she can use them. So the inhabitants of Border Watch have set their eyes on seizing Water’s Edge and later Fort Namor, hoping to expand their influence and aid in the destruction of the Reman Empire that had oppressed them for so long.
However, at the risk of open war, Elsweyr will not attack the Reman empire, they will supply equipment and men, but they will not fight unless they themselves are threatened.

I think Aventius's announcement to the Senate of him being Potentate and him claiming to "Fix things up" Should lead it closer to the Imperial civil war..

Could you possibly add a little more to that post Yes Man? It's very hard for me to reply to one line of dialogue, with no action or anything.
