» Sun Dec 02, 2012 1:03 am Skyrim From the Beginning
4E 201 Two hundred years have passed since the Oblivion crisis. With the death of High King Torygg the flood gates of civil war break loose; the Imperial legion is engaged in a bloody civil conflict with the band of insurgents known as the "Stormcloaks."Their goal is an independent Skyrim, free of Thalmor and Imperial rule.
To make matters worse a great prophecy has been foretold in the Elder Scrolls; one that foretells the return of Tamriel’s primeval darkness, the Dragons led by the all-powerful darkened 'son' of Akatosh himself...the World Eater. The scrolls also tell of the coming of a mortal born with the soul of a dragon, the Dragonborn. One who will have the power to permanently defeat the greatest foe and end the dark reign of the consumer of worlds Alduin.
Your journey will be full of many perils in your quest to just survive this harsh unforgiving land.
It goes without saying the normal terrors in the mere everyday task like the search for food. You may run up on a sleeping bear, be chased by a sabretooth tiger, trolls, or poisoned by a frost spider. You will encounter thieves who rob you blind, bandits who take great pleasure in torturing you before they stick your head on a spike. Should you encounter an assassin don’t worry you will never see them coming nor will you be telling the tale of survival over a good tanker of mead in one of the taverns. You can howl at the moon as you will never get any restful sleep again as the beast blood of lycanthrope runs through your veins. Speaking of veins less you do some good persuading and talk the Vampires into infecting you with Vampirism, you will pray for death should they throw you into the cattle cells of Castle Volkihar.
Civil War is upon you, dragons are overhead, you have a choice to make, a side to choose, what will it be?
Will you stand in fight against the evils of Skyrim, or will you simply give in to it.
Begs the age old question, Hero or Villain?
Now great adventurer, free yourself from bondage; take up a blade or spell, bow or axe; fulfill your destiny or watch as the world ends around you.

Skyrim From the Beginning: Role- Play Rules:
1: Do not post on The Role-Play wall unless your character is accepted by GM Phenix.
2: No character controlling- “This means you cannot force another character to do something, RP that character, or cause any physical damage to them that their player does not first approve. Ways to make sure you don't do anything like that are to PM-message a character's player before engaging in a fight, or making a post in such a way as you make the attack but leave the result open.”
3: Battles to the death- in RPs between players are generally a bad idea. Before you engage in a player-fight, you should always decide who is going to die, or when they are going to stop.
4: Romance- The romances that are worth reading about are realistic and should take time to develop. Some Romances may pop up on you when you least expect them, some might be fast and hard and die as fast as they lived. We encourage you to push the boundaries of romance here on this role play.
5: No Fast Traveling here on RP however; give, some leeway when it comes to traveling by foot/ boat or horse it doesn’t have to be exact timing when traveling between locations.
6: Decent Combat between Cast members is highly encouraged, try to get away from inventing your own made up side kick to fight with, fight some real opponents in your Cast members. Just PM them and GM Phenix a day in advance and figure it out and go for it! Readers want to see us all combat each other at one point in time plus it’s great fun, but remember one must surrender the fight and suffer the consequence of defeat, haha…
7: Stay Current on Postings! Please if you missed a day go back and read the last thread catch up and get back on the RP. This site doesn’t care if you post daily or once a week as long as you are current on what the RP is about you just jump on in even if it is to say hello we want you here whenever you can be here!!!
8: “Setting the Scene:” When you come on and begin to post every Cast Member must set the scene for our readers and other Cast members. Add what particular time of day it is? Where your location is? Post everything your character sees, smells, tastes, feels, touches and says. Describe their state of mind, that sort of thing. There is nothing too small to include in your post. For example with every post start out like this: *Your Characters name - Morning, Horse stables, Whiterun*
Posting Summery
++++++++++++++++++++++
It is vital that you understand that Post are more than Dialogue. Dialogue on its own is boring, humor is always welcomed on a post. To have a good post, you must add their thoughts and feelings, how they react to what other people are saying and how their mind processes any information they have been given.
Leaving clues in your writing for future plans, vague hints at what is to come in your character's emotional life, or hints as to their past, can be fun to read and speculate about. Also always remember the element of surprise or “cliff hangers,” as we writers like to call them make RP more interesting when ending out your RP for that day.
Lastly HAVE FUN!!! Life sometimes is too hard to deal with so come here into Fantasy where life gets a whole lot better “unless someone stole your sweet roll….

CS Summary
+++++++++++++++
