» Sat May 28, 2011 7:29 am it's been maybe a year since i last attempted it, and i was sad that after all the work that went into it and all the hype it generated, it ground to a halt before it left the ground.
though it did so because i posted it at a bad time of year for me and i was working and also that i started the storyline at a crucial bit but alot of people got caught up in different storylines so we ended up with alot of people waiting for others to finish up their side stories... and etc... blah
ANYWAYS.... my point is, i have been meditating on this for the past month or so and have come up with a way to start it again, still make it interesting and involving but also allow the freedom to setup your characters before the intense storyline gets going, and still allow freedom to continue your side stories as the main one progresses
for any of you that dont remember my old RP, here's some links

Now on with the changes,
1ST:
Just so we dont get muddled at the beginning, im bringing the timeline backward a bit and starting it sooner, before all the Founder's have met.
2ND:
I've revised the Opening Post a bit, namely the history/setup, not drastically and it's mainly the last two paragraphs that are new, (which still need some tweaking so dont be put off)
It's the end of the Third Era, and if it was not for the one called the "Champion of Cyrodiil," the empire would be in ruins. After Martin's sacrifice banished Mehrunes Dagon, Ocato tried to take control. However, his elven superiority complex caused many under his rule to rebel and deny Ocato's right to rule. Even the Champion of Cyrodiil severed all ties to the empire--even he despised Ocato, after being ordered around like a lapdog.
By the end of the era each of the guilds had changed hands, appointing new leaders. The rash of inexperienced leadership led the guilds in general to be weak and unorganised. They were kept in check by the Champion of Cyrodiil, who would occasionally converse with each of the leaders--even the Gray Fox and the Dark Brotherhood Listener.
Everyone still revered the Champion as their saviour. As long as he was around, Cyrodiil felt safe.
However, the Champion eventually disappeared, leaving nothing but the memory of his title. Oddly, everyone in Cyrodiil remembered and honoured his great achievements, yet no-one could remember who he was. It was as if he had never existed, beyond the records of his accomplishments.
With the Champion out of the picture, a massive flux of rebels felt free to emerge out of the shadows to move against the beheaded Empire. However, their disorganized attempts always ended with lots of innocent blood spilt and a long hike back into hiding.
There are rumours about a Khajiit travelling the land in search of people who want fairness and equality with the promise of rewards and a brighter future for all, and although many believe it to be nonsense and hearsay many believe it to be true and have gone in search of this Khajiit in hopes of joining his cause.
Whispers also tell of many guild related incidents such as theft and kidnapping but also counts of murder, little is known about the cause of such violence but many can't help but assume it is related to the Khajiit rumoured to be the new saviour.
But is it really?
There's only one way to find out?

3RD: I've also brightened the moral alignment of the guild to neutral, before i had indicated that it was leaning toward evil/bad, but as the guild has not been started i have left it neutral even though my would be founder still has good intentions.
I have done this mainly so that your characters own alignment, goal etc.. will actually sway the direction we will work to, example: if we end up with a large majority of characters that are evily inclined then our guild will no doubt sway that way too, and vice versa. This hopefully adds some form of control and feeling that you affect the guild as a whole.
4th: As we are starting before the guilds foundation, this will begin as more of an adventure/freeform RP then develop into a Guild RP when we hit a certain stage and will still have much to explore
5TH: finally i have also been working on some twists and plot developments that will unveil along the way just so that we definatly have something interesting to keep us going if we ever hit a deadzone.
I hope this peak's your interest as i would love to bring this back to the forum even if not all of the original "cast" also return
please leave any comments you may have, good or bad, and please cast your vote on the poll
PS. i also may be changing the name of the guild and the RP so any new suggestions for either are welcome
If you're still up for it.
