I am a lore junkie, I can do politics. Dren, I may be new and may have a little FO blubber left (looks back at the 20 lbs that fell off), but hey, I can do political stuff in TES, as a Telvanni, I can be a very evil bastard who likes to play with their heads (mysticism=telekenesis, which can be modified to telepathy, press down on the brain in a certain spot just enough, and they will move their arms, legs, whatever AKA telepathy, I can make them say stuff I can make them forget they said such madness, I can control their every move)

I'll take Markarth Side then.

It is in western Skyrim. I used the army/generals for the timeline. Now I will just make a character sheet for the king, and I won't have an army sheet until it is needed. Cheers.

Dren, the sheet will take a couple days.

The last part of this isn't actually political, but hey, if you're willing to give it a shot be my guest.

Edit: There's no rush to start the rp. I'm trying to gather as many people as possible before starting. And all sounds good Wooly.

I'll do both. This is off-topic, but I love in this forum an RP can take 2 weeks to start, and not a single complaint, in Fallout, I tried to start one, two days pass and people already want to leave...

In my own opinion, I think the center of Ra Gada Nord war would be in Dragonstar. You know how it is split? I've always had an idea of something like that, but Markarth Side and Skaven could be going at it in Dragonstar, or something of that matter.

I agree. Now, let's not spam the thread. You haven't yet so no worries. : )
Let's save thread space for interested rper's.

Hm, should I join? Story is interesting. How much lore does this involve? I don't care much for action, but just wondering if there is any.

I agree Zalphon. Now, let's not spam the thread. You haven't yet so no worries. : )

@wooly: I also thought Elinhir was an odd place for the Skyrim/Hammfell conflict to take place. I do think Dragonstar would be not only a beneficial gain but an extremely challenging one as well. Therefore, I think capturing Elinhir with the use of Falkreath would be a bit easier. Tension has always been high with the two cities. That and if you look at the map of Tamriel, you can see that Dragonstar could easily be reinforced by Evermor. In the rp both the provinces of Hammerfell and High Rock have a temporary alingment to regain captured land and push back the grasp of Skyrim. Perhaps even to weaken Skyrim. I was thinking an epic battle at Dragonstar?

@Shadowstrike: Our lore is from the Imperial Library and a bit of it's from UESP. I'm still open to political characters too. I'm not planning on following lore off UESP and the Imperial Library for the entire rp, just until we can kick off and get this thing going. I am using modern and well-known lore to set the mood of the rp though. And joining is up to you friend. I will be open to any changes in lore anyone wants to make as we go along. Strictly through PM however.

I think I'm gonna join up with this one.

May I kindly suggest http://www.imperial-library.info/maps/cyrodiillargelowrescr7.jpg in unison or on its own with the map you've provided? It's just so much more detailed

I'm not quite sure what I should be however.... What area's are you short in? Politics? Generals (doubt it)? I'll probably make two characters anywho but I'd like to fill lots of spots.

Few questions (the ones regarding locations are based off the map I linked, so if we aren't using that map simply disregard the questions that relate to it):

1) Who "controls" the river west of Blacklight (east of Windhelm) just along the Skyrim/Morrowind border?

Didn't see that Winterhold and Windhelm were both allies of Redoran, so never mind. I would assume the river is under Redoran control.

2) You say "Skyrim swallowed much of the land of both provinces", yet most fighting apparently occurs at Jehanna and Elinhir which are pretty much right on the border... So did the Ra Gada and the Bretons manage to take back the "large" amounts of land taken by the Nords? Or did the Nords not really go too far into either province?

3) In both the west and east, is it full out war? As in, nearly constant skirmishing/battling on the fronts? Or is it merely high tension staring at each other across the table but not really doing anything?


That's about it for now

Well, I'll pass on this one, just not up to it. Good luck on this, Dren :goodjob:

Wow. Blademaster the map you provided is the sixiest thing I've ever seen as far as Tamriel maps go. I almost feel naughty looking at it. Indeed! We will use this map as well as my own. Although I'll probably suggest using this one instead. Man... So much detail. We can use my map to locate the actual borders. Your map is much better at showing us rivers, small cities, all the large cities and things of that nature. I may even post a topographic map of Tamriel if I can find one. To answer your questions, In between Jahanna and Evermor is a large unprotected area where the Nords of Skyrim managed to sneak a small militia into High Rock. It's not really owned by them, but by building up from the militia they've managed to hold the lands using the mountains as a shield. They've also done the same with Dragonstar and Elinhir. Again using the mountains for concealment. Markarth Side, Falkreath, and Solitude being their front against Hammerfell and High Rock. The Orcs are masters at navigating the terrain. The only trouble will be keeping both provinces from realizing that Orsinium is providing Skyrim with all their militia. Now, that's all of my rp I can release without having actually started it. Haha.

And as of now, it's skirmishes and violent raids. Full-blown battles have only been limited to one. The Battle of Blacklight. A battle I personally added to lore for the rp.

Glad you like it

To clear up small confusion for myself, the cities of Windhelm and Winter Hold are allies of Redoran, correct?

I'm willing to wait up to around 3-4 weeks, but If it takes more then a month or so to start, I'm outta here sicne even waiting can become intolerable... (just a little heads up)

No worries gatalis. And yes BladeMaster, Wind Helm and Winterhold are Redoran allies.

Once you guys PM me your character sheets we'll begin. Five members will have to do.

I think we'll get more as we go along I'll be editing my sheets into this post, as soon as they're sent and approved, but I wanted to know if having two Hammerfell higher ups was fine. I'm thinking a Ra Gada general and a council member or whatever government they have (reason I haven't sent my sheet, I really need to study lore a bit first). Didn't want people on two different sides, you know? Anyway, I'll get busy on those, and hopefully have them to you by tomorrow at least. Thanks, looks good :goodjob:

Sounds good Darkom!

I'll have my King, his couple generals, their officers, and all that.

Dren, you should get the sheet this weekend or wednesday, because it is the U.S. military veterans day (so no school).

I have to go to a drill ceremony on veterans day. I have funeral duty! Haha. Not that funerals are a 'haha' matter but that's what I get for being a private.

And I'll be expecting it then Wooly.

I think you guys mean Remembrance Day

As for my sheets, you'll probably have them by tomorrow after school, if it makes any difference. And as far as activity goes, I can't say I'm available every night (though I try! Hockey and work are picking up), but as long as this doesn't move a page a day its all good

I'll be able to post basically every night until ME 2 comes out.

When mass effect 2 comes out though I'll be unable to get on... (still, that's not till january or something XD)

Well if that's the case I'll have to save a spot for your return gatalis. Although I'd imagine it couldn't be too bothersome to at last post once a week.

*BUMP*

Things slow down so much during school seasons.

Edit: Typo.

If it's not taken, one of my characters would like to be the king of the small time Kingdom of Riften in south-eastern Skyrim. If thats not a problem with you of course, Dren.



Indeed they do.

Sounds good actually. I was hoping the members would take up more powerful political positions.
