Current Story
As you wake up, you notice an strange letter lying in your pocket. You open the letter and it tells you to go outside the city-gates of Chorrol by midnight. There, you meet a cloaked man which says silently, "Follow me, initiate." As you walk on the main road out of Chorrol you keep your hand close to the hilt of your sword, but asks the stranger no questions. He doesn't wield any weapon so it doesn't hurt to see what he's up to. When you've walked for a little while, you see a little road which leaves the main-road and leads into the woods. As the suspicion grows whithin you you ask the man with a raised voice; "Who are you, cloaked man? What is this? Was the letter from you?!". The shadowy man looks upon you though you can't see his face properly since the hood darkens his face. "Patience will pay you greatly...". The man turns around and starts walking again. You stop for a moment but then you start walking again.

Now you've gotten to a cave. The man pulls out a key and opens the door, walks inside and tells you to go this way until you get to the gate. You wonder about what gate he's talking about, but you keep going. You are a experienced warrior so you can defeat any Bandit which may test his luck on you. When you've gotten to the end of the cave, a metal gate appears. You open the gate and walk inside. Now you've entered a ruin. Another cloaked man stands at the entrance of the ruin and welcomes you with a dark but welcoming voice. "Welcome, Inititate...". You're starting to wonder what you've walked into. A man meets you as you have gotten further into what seems like an underground fort. He welcomes you and says. "Welcome, Intitiate. You may wonder what is going on, and I can only answer that with one answer. You've been chosen." You're about to open your mouth when he disrupts you and says; "You must have many questions. But before you begin let me just tell you this. You now stand in the Headquarters of The Crimson Shadow. What is The Crimson Shadow you ask? Well, that can only our great leader answer you. But I can tell you this; we are ones who keeps Cyrodiil safer. We are the protectors of the innocent. We are the unknown guardians of Cyrodiil.


Explanation
And this is how the story starts.
This is a project started by me, (Armagedd0n) and I got alot of support when it comes to the story.

I have a vision of this guild to be a secret, underground good-guy guild. The Crimson Shadow is the ones that comes to the rescue when no one else can.
I want to at least help create a varied, rich guild-experience, which we didn't fully get from Vanilla-Oblivion. I want the story and quests to be more varied, and I want things the player can do after he has risen to the greatest rank.

I'm a interior/exterior-designer, but that is what keeps me from making this mod alone.

I've started on the mod, yes. I have made about 50% of the headquarters of the Guild and some minor interiors meant for quest-use.
My idea of this mod is to get to rise in rank, until you become Guild Master, but still have tasks and jobs to do when you've fully ranked.
I'm willing to work really hard for this, but still, only within interiors and exteriors.

I've got some help with modellers, texturers and storywriters, but what I really need is questmakers.

As you may have noticed, my vocabulary isn't great but at least I tried to tell you about my idea.

This is not a request of help. I'm just putting my idea out here, and hoping for the best. Because I really want to accomplish this.
If this thread shows interest with you guys, I will definetively work much harder and maybe even post progress and videos of my work.

So, if you want to come with questions, ideas, support, help or maybe even join my "team", please send me an PM or reply below. Thank you for reading this.


Screenshots
The pics are pretty old and the progress of the mod have been made since the screens was taken.
I also forgot to take pics of the Main Hall...

Armagedd0n

Good Luck! NEVER SAY DIE!

What exactly will this guild do? At first I thought it was an assassin's guild, but after the protectors of Cyrodiil part, I guess these are good guys. Will the questline be of a specific type (assassination, defeating an enemy guild etc.) or will it contain mixed, varying quests?

Also, I could do some small time scripting for you but I don't have too much time on my hands. I like this idea because the Blades were kinda a let down, and they were supposedly the hidden Eyes and Ears of the emperor.

My vision for the Guild is it to be a secret underground guild which helps the citizens of Cyrodiil.
I imagine like hunting down murderers, bandit-leaders, defending farms from bandit-attacks and so on...

They come to the rescue when the Legion can't. They appear, help the ones in need and disappears before the rescued even get to thank their saviors.
I want them to be kinda mysterious.

My vocabulary isn't of the greatest as you might have noticed... But at least I've tried to inform you the best I can about my idea.

Linked from http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1117130-wip-guild-mod-project-need-help/page__p__16410455__fromsearch__1&#entry16410455on the very same subject:




That'd be all. Good luck, tho.

I've been told to make a more informing topic, so I did.

I uploaded some screens from the headquarters today. Old pics, but still, the gallery is placed under "Screenshots" in the top-post.

I think this is a good idea, the downside is the name.

Most people are going to think somthing like the dark brotherhood and the name is similer to the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Crimson_Scars

"Crimson" is a color, and it's described as dark red.
It can also mean to blush or become crimson with fury...
