Olybrius is going to be such a black cloud over the whole thing. He hates parties.

...I'm not sure who I should be more concerned for.

Oh god this is going to be one hell of a party.
A few are gonna try to get with her. But hey! Varth is a fellow Mer, and Dark Elf, who she already has experience bedding. A fellow Mer who knows quite a bit about illusion magic ;)

I can't account for either of their tastes', Syllawen or Varth's :P. I CAN say that Syllawen does like the exotic, and the dangerous, but heavens me, what have I gotten myself into?

Here is the preview of the map I am working on atm. I'm going to make it look like a drawn map first, then do a geographic version of it. Counties are still to come: http://i42.tinypic.com/2b15w9.png

How do I sign up, and what's with the radical departure from Allegedly-Gold "Drakes" (I suspect they're less than a single karat in purity) toward a foreign currency never seen nor used in Tamriel?

You cant get more exotic than a Deadra-crossing undead resurrecting wizard ;)

Dude, that map is amazing. Would you mind crafting a map for me, sometime? haha

Argh! How is Tyanis going to impress the queen? He's so normaly for a Breton.

Well, besides the fact he is plotting to bring the 2nd coming of the empire, and kills for money.

But he can't just go walzting around, yelling that out!

EDIT: I will try and get my post in tonight. I swear, keeping up with these forums leaves no time for watching AlChestBreach or playing Skyrim.

That. Is. Epic. :drool:

What do you use to do your maps? A wacom tablet and PS?

How do I sign up, and what's with the radical departure from Allegedly-Gold "Drakes" (I suspect they're less than a single karat in purity) toward a foreign currency never seen nor used in Tamriel?

You create a character sheet and get it approved by the GM's (Me or Wooly). And that is because gold, even in low purity, is still gold. It works good with game mechanics to use just gold. However game mechanics don't mean squat in this RP and neither does any Bethesda created lore after the OB crisis. The Copper, Silver, Gold, currency system works rather well. Copper is an easy to find cheap ore, silver slightly more expensive, and gold much rarer and more expensive. It makes dealing with currency a little bit more fun.

However now that I think about it I think that gold will be only 10 silver and not 100.

So for the final version of the currency system.

100 coppers = 1 silver
10 silvers = 1 gold
1000 coppers = 1 gold

Coppers are just called Coppers
Silvers are sometimes called Drakes
Gold is sometimes called a Septim.

Nice to see you man. You just chuck your CS in here and one of the GM accepts you. We could do with Sharnhelm royalty (well, I say royalty, they are dukes now, http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Brief_History_of_the_Empire_v_3 Kind of. Actually anyone from Sharnhelm or Northpoint would be good right now.

Maybe I should have seen this coming...




EDIT: Spot on about the map btw Asap :P Photoshop and my shiny new Wacom. My old one broke, and this is new, which is why I am drawing a picture of everything under Masser and Secunda right now.

Is there any version of the map in particular you'd like, or any feature? I can edit the [NUMINT] out of it on photoshop.

Actually, I was hoping to take the status of Baron of the Illessan Hills of Daggerfall, with Davian Hawkstar (And friends)... but I suspect aSaPp doesn't like him.

Illessan Hills, eh? Going to have a lot of trouble with Fiona Barrow-Heart's friends there, I'll bet.

Spoken to aSaPp!5, I will be taking the role of King of Northpoint. Hope no-one objects :smile:

I will also RP another character. A knight or a squire, haven't decided yet. Character sheets to come.

Make sure your character matches up with mine, since I'm playing the Princess of Northpoint.

But of course someone would come get the role when I actually spend some time creating the king. But oh well. i just ask that you let me create the Admiral of Northpoint's Navy.

Scow, I'm fine with Davian as long as he isn't uber like he was in TDS. Great proficiency and skill in most weapons and and schools of magick was a bit overkill for someone who was barely 20. Not to mention he was a walking arsenal with all the weapons he carried.

As long as you can play him sensibly and realistically then I'm ok with him.

And Squid, Azra's crossing isn't in Markwasten, its in Gwened. Markwaston is in the north on the border with sharnhelm.

It's not the same Davian Hawkstar as the one from TDS (For starters, he's a Breton-fathered Redguard, though his son's a Redguard-fathered Breton). I don't think I can play any character "realistically" (At least not in ImmortalBlood's sense of "Realistic"), but he'd have some pretty exploitable political weaknesses to make up for his martial prowess.

After a discussion with Kalamari, I've switched one thing around in my post. It was the count of Gauvadon's brother, not him, that caused the stir by killing a load of Bjoulsae Horse-People. And I moved the date back to the 5th, giving everyone more than a month to get to Evermore.

By realistic, he means reasonable- not god modded. It's not a game; it's a story.

Very nice!

How much did your Wacom tablet cost? I'm borrowing an inter-write pad from my mom. She uses it for school teaching. However the resolution that it writes at is rubbish.

Yes. You never hear of a guy going into battle with two crossbows, a longbow, a spear, a claymore, a battleaxe, two war axes, a shortsword, and a kite shield because it just never happened. That's like carrying a donkey on your back into battle.

I'm just asking that you keep him within realistic and humanly limits.

Seriously man? Don't go starting with that crap again. I had enough of it in the IBT discussion. If you can't say something in a respectful manner than don't say anything. I'd rather like to keep vulgar comments like that out of this thread.

I thought I was going to roleplay the Duke of Shornhelm? (It is ShOrnhelm not ShArnhelm, or at least on uesp and other sources..)

Oh, awfully sorry. Looked at the OP and the spot is still unclaimed. And called Sharnhelm, which would explain why I keep muddling the two up. A character sheet would be marvellous though.

Also, I simply adored our introduction to the King of Daggerfall. Rather similar to how we met Syllawen, but the devil's in the details. More lovers, less drugs, and actual comprehension (mastery?) of feudal affairs. I wish I knew how you learnt to write all that fluff, PFA. Going to have to step up my game. Also, the moment Syllawen and Camoran actually meet is officially my most anticipated moment in the RP. Screw the war, this is going to be the real entertainment!

Although unrealistic I would like the Grand Duke of Shornhelm to be the King, would anyone have any problems with this?

According to the OP, Shornhelm has been conquered by Northpoint so he was been stripped of his title of King. But there is a possible rebellion against this, apparently. Maybe he is called a King by his own people, who love him, but officially does not hold that rank?

I hope you've incorperated Andorak Septim into all of this too. :). I wonder if the Dukes of Shornhelm would still call themselves Septim? Or Lariat?

That's what I meant, former-king of Shornhelm, which in the real world would be unlikely to happen. I'm going to use the name of Lariat and have him as a crushed defeated man (who's wife and children were killed in the war) in public however he secretly supports the rebellion against Northpoint.

That sounds really good actually. It could happen, at a stretch. If the King was particularly popular, leaving him in place might quell revolution, whereas executing or stripping the man of all his titles would leave Shornhelm a trouble province for years to come. Or maybe it was just a diplomatic blunder. :smile:

I might well stick one of my secondary characters up there somewhere. He was going to be a Prince in the Lariat family, but now that is a no-no, I'll figure some other way of working him into Shornhelm, once we know what the make-up of that place is like.
