Erasmos does seem to come and go a lot. Which is a frightful pity, because he is one of my favourite Rpers. Re: an ex-pirate attending the festivities, I'm sure Syllawen would be delighted, but making it past the guard is the thing. You'd need an invitation, or be part of the entourage of a noble who has one.

[Tessa Mullins]

Maybe a cardbox box? And then put on like a fake mustache or something. Foolproof.

Anyone that is travelling to Evermore can write their guys arriving in the City now, btw. Best we move on with this, so we can take the story somewhere, right?

[Minako]

Yeah, I might be making a http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab216/asapp152/TESV2012-02-1522-12-10-37.jpg for Camaron's party.

Also, as soon as Sleeper posts for Varth then I'll conclude the dialogue with Astien and do a fast forward post to get us all moving if it's ok with Athell and Sleeper.

[CSar L]

Yeah, I might be making a new character for Camaron's party.

Also, as soon as Sleeper posts for Varth then I'll conclude the dialogue with Astien and do a fast forward post to get us all moving if it's ok with Athell and Sleeper.

100% fine by me, I'm busy working on something else anyway.

[~Amy~]

Wow that was quick haha

And alright I'll wait for Sleeper to post for Varth then give a brief run through of how the party from Camlorn (honor guards and stuff for Astien, even though his father doesn't agree with his ways he's still a very important member of court.) met up with them and how they got near Evermore.

I'm reloading the forums a lot at the moment out of anxiety.

Cool, looks like County Urvaius is taking a pretty large court with them. Should be interesting.

Would anybody mind if I bring the Vigilants of Stendarr in at some point?

[Sami Blackburn]

I'm fine with it.

[Anna S]

Hey guys ... Is anyone going to posty-post any time soon?

[maddison]

Hey guys ... Is anyone going to posty-post any time soon?

I would if I wouldn't be caught in the void with Sithis.

[asako]

I probably will tomorrow. I have some family down right now so I'm rather occupied.

[Marlo Stanfield]

Hey Athell, since it's the Duke's party that Astien is travelling with you can post the whole arriving in Evermore thing. Just say something about how the group of nobles from Camlorn joined with them.

I'm currently swamped with work and really tired from being out all weekend. Life has been kicking my tail again.

Hi erm I noticed your Thread of princes and Power I had a look at the open spaces And was wondering could I possibly be the Count of alsace I don't mind if You say no but here is my character sheet:

Name:Julius Scipion
Title:Count Of alsace
Race:Altmer
Age:167
Gender:Male

Appearance:A 6'4 Altmer, Black hair, Grey eyes, Lean, walks with a slight limp in his left leg and sometimes rolls his right shoulder-the leg due to a naval engagement against some Hammerfell pirates one threw a dagger into his thigh never properly healed-The shoulder a wolf managed to jump him.Rather pale skin for a normal high elf,appears in his late 30's in human years,Clean shaven and clean cut hair.

Skills:one handed,heavy armour,destruction(mainly shock and a few Frost spells),Smithing-in his spare time and finally Intermediate in restoration-However he is mainly more close combat orientated.

Background: Born in Alsace , He was trained in the basics of Combat, Magic and Diplomacy At the age Of 17 he joined the imperial Battle college before then moving into the imperial navy He was quick to learn and had his own ship by age 22 He was assigned to patrol The waters of summerset Isles Then in 3E407 He heard the news That His father had died He Was quick to resign from his duties and take up the mantle of the upkeep of alsace and from then he has ruled he married in 3E427 he married his Bretonic Wife marina but in the oblivion crisis His heavily pregnant wife was killed and in 4E11 he decided that the keeping of Alsace would fall into the ruling family of Northpoints hands and from then on has generally been subsided.

[katsomaya Sanchez]

I think you should be cool to join, Magnus, one thing about your character though: in lore there is only meant to be one ruling family of elves in the entire of all human lands, and that's the Direnni (who rule Balfiera, and now through my character, Evermore). While your character could still have taken over the county of Alsace, the ruling family prior to this could not have been Altmer, if that makes any sense.

Just a few things stuck out to me.

This RP is heavily based off of the concepts of the Immortal Blood Timeline in the way that it connects with TES Games. Game concepts have no grounds in this RP. For instance magick isn't balls of magicka that just shoot from your palm at your enemy. Anything is possible with magick. I had my Dunmeri character, Rithe, in the Immortal Blood Timeline use alteration magick to alter the composition of a adobe roof which allowed him to pass through it and into the room below. Illusion magick isn't a spell you cast but rather how someone manipulates the magickal energies around them to make other's perceive things differently. Things go a lot more in depth and do not follow the game mechanics. For instance instead of being skilled in one-handed weapons (which is a general skill in Skyrim) you could say that he was skilled in using swords, daggers, and occasionally axes.

So that being said try to avoid using terms that are limited to game mechanics. So instead of listing in-game skills for the Skills section. List things that your character is good at. Such as he can run long distances or endure really cold weather, or possibly he has a adept's grasp of illusion magick with a concentration in concealment.

Also each county, well each family, has it's own coat of arms so your character, unless you specifically want him to wear it, would probably wear his family's coat of arms and not that of Northpoint.

And time to go to class, I'll add a bit more when I get home tonight. It's looking good though, just needs a bit of refinement

[Michelle Chau]

hey guys, sorry I haven't been posting lately, but I was gone on vacation and when I was back I was a bit short on time. I'll post tomorrow after school since I have tang soo do class in a small hour.

Alright, basically what I was saying is that try to get away from the restrictions of game mechanics and be creative with your characters abilities. It makes them a lot more fun to RP and to RP with for other people

No big deal man, I think all of us have hit a slow patch. I'm being bombarded with school work and track practice at the moment. I have about 0 time to myself and I'm only averaging 4 1/2 hours of sleep per night.

[Nathan Maughan]

All right Refined my family history-Julius Scipion is the Son of Alecor scipion a high elf who married the Lady Loraine Alsace thus creating the Scipion Line of Alsace.The scipion name comes from Three genarations When an imperial general married a High elf Maiden and since then the name has endured this also explains Julius`s Pale skin in comparison to other high elves.

[Rude_Bitch_420]

And here is my refined classes:
Swordsmanship-particuarly in the longsword area.
Weatherworking-If that is OK I thought of it this morning when reading A wizard of earthsea.
Illusion-Basic changes E.G. Age change,Facial hair Etc.
Heavy armour-Preferred
Smithing-Spare time hobby crafts Anything when he can

Hobbies:
Falconry
Reading
Sailing.

Family crest-Ok I struggled on this one but finally managed to create one.I will attempt to make a link or attatchment.

[barbara belmonte]

My attempts at making a link are not working so I shall attempt to write a description of it In the hope that someone with better knowledge than me at the moment can create it:

It is a Quartered Shield With The bottom right and top left quarters in dark green, Silver in the bottom left and top right. It has a picture of an anchor in the middle to signify the port of Alsace(it is on the coast If i am correct), It has Griffins on the silver quarters and Swords on the green quarters I fyou can insert a helmet adorment the Hair bits (if possible) have green and black While the Name tag merely says "county Alsace" Ihope that is useful to anyone who can use it.

EDIT:Decided to upload it as my avatar hope thats ok.

[Everardo Montano]

I'll post for Aleron in the weekend so I can think some more about what I'd write about his journey to Evermore.

also, welcome to the RP, Magus the Red!

[Nick Jase Mason]

Sorry for the absence, guys. I've been in omnibusy mode for a few weeks now, hopefully this should lessen a little over the weekend (though only a little). I will endeavour to get a post with Syllawen welcoming guests to her castle up after friday. I cannot promise anything before then, sorry. As soon as this deadline is passed, I'm back in business though

[leigh stewart]

OOC:I will attempt my first post if no one minds.

Julius Scipion, Alsace, Castle

The Sunlight streamed through the bedroom windows as Louis, the chamberlain, opened the door and set a steaming breakfast meal on the a table before turning to adress Julius Scipion, who was sleeping soundly. Louis gave a polite but loud cough; Julius woke with a start. but Before He could react Louis was already speaking, "My lord, may I suggest a transition from the Bed to the Breakfast? You have a busy day ahead of you. I will leave you to decide your choice of attire," then, with a swift walk, louis exited the room.

Julius sighed before climbing out of bed, in still in his bed robes, to move to the table to eat his breakfast. A letter was also next to the breakfast; he picked it up and read it out loud,

"Dearest Julius Scipion,

Her Majesty Syllawen Direnni, Queen of Evermore
requests the Honour of Your Presence at her Castle on the
11th of Frostfall in celebration of the most hallowed
Festival Of ?Peace, in recognition of the glorious and most
pleasant Miracle of Peace, blessedly maintained to this day.

We humbly await your reply.
~ S~D"

Julius sighed again before tensing his right leg as a shot of pain ran through. `Blasted mornings,' he thought before limping over to the wardrobe wear where he chose Some black boots, black fabric trousers, a white collared shirt, and a Dark Green jacket. He walked back to his table, the pain from his leg having now receded. He then picked up a dossier purple tape; he sighed, this usually meant Bandits somewhere, he signed the neccessary arrangements before looking at the map of Alsace. It was a large town built on a rocky island surrounded by six sea stacks, all had been developed. A port protruded from the south side; a bridge on the western side made access to the main land possible by foot and to the new town where the poorer had settled. The castle was at the highest point on the northen tip of the island with the towers on the seastacks usually containing a guest. The old town was full of the more richer people; a wall was built in a semicircle from west to east while the Old town had been split into six sections cutting vertically and horizontally.

He then turned on his heel to walk out his bedroom door, passing portraits of past ruling families of Alsace. where He entered the court from a door leading to behind the back of his chair. He sat on the plush chair eager to begin the business of the day, yet still his mind was conflicted as to whether or not he should visit the festival of peace.

The only think I can see wrong with it Magus is grammar. I've gone through and edited in some things (in red) to make it somewhat more grammatically correct. I've tried to keep everything as original as possible and just focus on punctuation and spelling. Sentence structure can bit a bit more complicated. The OOC tag is there to show you're speaking Out Of Character, and the other thing I added was a post header that lets everyon know who the character is and where he's at.

Try writing things in Microsoft Word before you post on the forums. It will help you catch a lot of these errors. Good job for your first post though. :thumsup:

Same here. I've been slammed pretty hard lately with school, clubs, sports, etc. However give me a week or two and I'll be back up to speed and posting every 10 minutes.

[Fluffer]

Rushed towards the end and done when quite tired, but here is my sheet none the less. I won't be able to post till at least Tuesday next week though. Sorry.

------

Name: Sir Tiberius Valerius Aquila
Title: Pontifex-Maximus of the Talos Order; Knight of the Hourglass; Sergent-at-Arms of Castle Evermore; Royal Protector of Her Majesty Syllawen Direnni, Queen of Evermore.
Age: 46
Race: Colovian (Imperial)
Gender Male

Appearance: http://i44.tinypic.com/10onv2o.jpg

Skills: A true Colovian, once one of the finest Imperial Legionnaires there's ever been and still an incredibly skilled combattant. Aquila has mastered the art of combat, fighting in the traditional Colovian style with a Gladius and Scutum. Aquila's honesty and loyalty attracts people's trust in him, his strong religious dedication also serving as an advantage at times. Aquila has lived long enough and experienced enough to carry a certain amount of wisdom, he is by no means a fool.

Equipment (Weapons, armour, misc.): An Imperial Pompeii Gladius made from fine Cyrodiilic Steel, meticulously crafted with an ornate ivory grip and engraved mahogany pummel. Though not often on his person, Aquila does have a black Imperial Scutum adorning the insignia of Talos to match his armour.

Aquila wears a plain black traditional Imperial leather muscled cuirass with matching pouldrons, pteruges and small greaves. Under his armour he wears a navy blue tunic and on his feet he modestly wears plain sandals. A noticable feature of Aquila and all the other warrior-monks within the Order of Talos is the large blue capes and hoods they all wear, a sign of their religious servitude.

Background: Tiberius Valerius Aquila was born in 3E 415 in the great Colovian city of Kvatch. His mother had died in childbirth and his father, a legionnary, had to give up the soldiers life to become a city guard and bring up the newly born boy. Aquila's father was a man of the traditional Colovian heritage and brought up the boy in a martial manner. From a very young age, Aquila was taught to wield a wooden Gladius and small buckler. Colovians are the best warriors of Tamriel, and this warlike mindset was ingrained into Aquila from as soon as he left the womb. Every night, the boy and his father would pray to Talos, giving an offering of meat, wishing that the Ninth Divine would guide their swords and protect them and the Empire.

As a teenager, Aquila fell in love from an early age with a blacksmiths daughter and married her at sixteen. They lived blissfully together in his father's small dwelling until arguments began over the teenage boy joining the legion. On an auspicious night in 3E 433 the rows got particularily intense. In a rage, Aquila stormed out of the house and left Kvatch on a stolen horse, riding to the Imperial City to join the legion. Realising his foolishness in his not saying goodbye properly, he rode back from Skingrad, only to find Kvatch under a sky made of fire. Daedra crawled through the city and killed almost everyone. Aquila frenziedly rushed around the refugee camp searching for his wife and father, refusing to come to terms with their loss. The small group of guards holding back the Daedra from the camp were the only thing stopping the now eighteen year old from running into the city on a suicide mission. They forced him to come to his senses, but could not convince him to avoid fighting and go back to the camp. Arming himself lightly, Aquila and a few other guards entered the Oblivion gate. There they were victims to the traps and games of Dagon, many of them dying painful deaths. They all saw unspeakable things, and Aquila and the remaining survivors would not have lived if it were not for a mysterious figure who came through the gate and somehow managed to close it. Aquila left the gate filled with rage and adrenaline, covered in Daedra blood and open wounds. But still he would not give up, only being brought back to the camp as he collapsed from blood loss. When he woke up it was over.

The boy searched the remains of what had once been his home, finding the charred remains of his loved ones. Distraught, Aquila left Kvatch in tears, riding to Imperial City for a second time on the same horse -its owner probably dead- to join the legion.

The Colovian spent the next few months fighting Daedra near constantly. The fighting blocked out the trauma and the grief, but still Aquila was constantly haunted by the guilt of not having been there that night to protect his aging father and loving wife. The legionnary by this point was renowned to be one of the finest warriors in the Imperial Army. He received honour after honour after honour and still he kept killing. The Oblivon Crisis had grown to its climix, as Dagon himself invaded the Imperial City. Aquila and a few other Imperial's held out in a tower, somehow surviving the constant onslaught of Daedra as they poured out of seemingly endless gates. All hope seemed to be gone, but out of nowhere a firey Dragon appeared above the Temple of the One and banished Dagon from Mundus. The Crisis was over.

Whilst fighting the Daedra, Aquila had made a few friends and encountered the Talos Cult. The Cult provided a spiritual escape, and the Colovian soon become dedicated to the God of War and Governance. After the crisis, Aquila found himself lost in praise and glory. The Empire began to fall apart, and legions were sent to various wars all over Tamriel. He left the legion soon before the great Civil War began, seeking refuge in the Order of Talos in Bruma. There he became a warrior monk and lived a quiet life. The civil war began to unfold in its entirety and some of the leading members of the Order gained a reputation for their outspoken criticism of the un-Talos like qualities of all the leaders involved and the death of the Empire. The local leader decided enough was enough and in 4E 4, sent soldiers to exterminate the small and heavily outnumbered Order. The older members -the elderly and the infirm- stayed, waiting for their deaths. Those fit enough to travel mostly fled to Skyrim, where Talos was still strongly revered. However, the King Titus of Evermore, a self-proclaimed worshipper of Talos offered an invitation to any members of the Order to flee to the kingdom instead. Promises were made of a rennovated Chapel and Monastery, the King even promising the continuation of the Order with full and total support. Most distrusted the Breton, and instead chose their path to the newly formed Nordic Confederacy to ask for aid. Aquila and two other warrior monks by the names of Gaius and Vibius accepted the invitation and quickly made way to High Rock, escaping Bruma under disguise.

The small party arrived to be greeted by a very friendly welcoming. King Titus kept his promises, providing the now considerably smaller Order with a vital lifeline. Life in Evermore was good and Titus proved himself to be a good man and king. A year later, in 4E 5, the three warrior monks sweared fealty to King Titus and the Kingdom of Evermore. The new Order of Talos ended up becoming the de facto bodyguards and personal knights of the war hungry Bretic Ruler.

Growth in the Order was slow due to the ridiculously high standards, the need to be a Colovian Man also slimming the recruitment pool. They still steadily grew however and when war began in 4E 5 more and more recruits were willingly to offer their dedication to Talos and the Order. Between 4E 5 and 4E 17, King Titus and the Kingdom of Evermore involved itself in many wars. Gaius, Vibius and Aquila and the new members of the Order were constantly by the King's side and even involved themselves in battle on occassion, proving their infamous and otherworldly fighting prowess.

The wars gradually came to a halt, but Evermore and the Order of Talos had both grown considerably, the Order now possessing twenty-two members. In 4E 23, Gaius died in a fever. Vibius by this point was old and decrepit, spending the rest of his days in the monastery offering his wisdom to anyone who wished it. It came upon Aquila to take the reigns as Pontifex-Maximus, to lead the Order until he physically could not. The Colovian had grown to be imensely loyal to his liege. King Titus near constantly had the Imperial at his side and as he lay on his deathbed in 4E 26, he proclaimed Aquila a member of the prestigious Order of the Hourglass. More importantly however, Sir Tiberius Valerius Aquila made a promise to unquestionably protect the Queen and what would seen become her Kingdom. The warrior monk was now the personal bodyguard of the Queen and the leader of her official bodyguard, the Order of Talos.

Two years have passed and Sir Aquila still remains at his post, forever loyal. The Queen's antics and wild nature sometimes disturb the Imperial who at heart is just a soldier, but she is good to him and he feels he must maintain his promise to the late King. Though if one were to look deeper, one would see that the guilt of letting down his family has led to Tiberius never letting his loyalty waver.

I'll look over it in a minute, I'm finishing up a weeks worth of busy work for a Health class right now.
