» Fri May 11, 2012 5:24 am 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 Akabiri 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 that is 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.

The Amulet of Kings, lost in the turmoil following the fall of the Potentate, has come into her possession through a series of nefarious dealings. She is confident that she can use this ultimate symbol of authority to her advantage. She keeps it concealed on her person at all times.
Personality: With an appreciation for brutality and a boiling ambition, Bincal is a powder keg for the Cheydinhal region.

Background: Born in Bravil to a poor family (her father was a disabled veteran and her mother was a street vendor) she enlisted in the Imperial Legion at age 15, and was trained as a healer. All was not well with the Empire, however, and when the century in which Bincal served was cut off from retreating Imperial forces, she followed her centurion to capture the nearly impenetrable fortress at Scinia (which at the time was completely empty thanks to mismanagement and the general chaos and confusion of the period) and establish an independent state there. Bincal was known to have close relations with her Commander Maximus, and when he died she vied with her fellow officers to be his successor. Her quick and decisive action (claiming she was pregnant with Maximus' child and by poisoning an important rival) she won for herself supreme command of the fortress. Any remaining opposition to her command was flayed alive in front of the entire garrison.

Miscellaneous: HUGE SPOILER
The Amulet of Kings, lost in the turmoil following the fall of the Potentate, has come into her possession through a series of nefarious dealings. She is confident that she can use this ultimate symbol of authority to her advantage. She keeps it concealed on her person at all times.
Personality: With an appreciation for brutality and a boiling ambition, Bincal is a powder keg for the Cheydinhal region. Perhaps overconfident of her position, she's likely to press issues too hard and overstep her authority. Her regular dealings with criminals may undermine her legitimacy with other rulers.

All was not well with the Empire, however, and when the century in which Bincal served was cut off from retreating Imperial forces, she followed her centurion to capture the nearly impenetrable fortress at Scinia (which at the time was completely empty thanks to mismanagement and the general chaos and confusion of the period) and establish an independent state there.

House Of Motierre - Cheydinhal - Stealthyshiroen's Faction
Spoiler
Name: House of Motierre
Government: Countship? Warlordship?
Military: About a 130 various foot soldiers and some supplemental support from the mage's and fighter's guilds depending on various variables such as compensation or the situation.
Brief Background: After the death of the previous Count of Cheydinhal, Andre was the last surviving claimant to the title. He has now assumed the role and with it the command over Cheydinhal and the nearby Fort Farragut. He would like to unify the Cheydinhal country under his banner. For now he covets the lands of Bincal and her cohorts so he would not have to worry about his eastern front as much and because he realizes that his military strength is greater. Although he's not sure if a full assault would be wise given Bincal's known brutality.

Skills: Swordplay, tactician, minor knowledge in destruction
Combat: Mainly uses a longsword in which he has received lessons with, but has never had to trade to many blows in a real fight

Background: Born with noble blood to the count's older brother's son. While the claimant to the Cheydinhal Countship is weak it is still a legitimate claim. As an adolescent, he learned swordplay and tactics from a close family friend whom he calls his uncle, but has always viewed as a mentor and father-figure. Moreso than his own since his father died while he was a young boy in a petty warlord squabble. With his newfound resources at his disposal he hopes to do what is best for his subjects with the main thing being to end the warlordism in the Cheydinhal county and unify it under one banner.
Allegiance: To the security and best interests of the Cheydinhal people. Anything else is secondary priority.
