I've posted y'all! Something efficient that helps to get this ball rolling. I'm holding a live Thalmor in my hands right now so you all can knock yourselves out with him, so long as you don't knock him out. Also, I didn't check the OOC until I post, as always. Jonas, if you want to take charge, do it either while we're fighting them or right after. I hope you have some amazing speech coming up, because for all these prisoners to just up and listen to you, a newcomer who only came as the plan was commencing, that's what you'd need. :biggrin:

Hopefully once Werewolf posts (oh ya, you're welcome),
For what? Stealing Paige from the not-so-heroic Lycus?

:P
Just a wink W&V. How about trapped in sanquines realm :tongue:
Hardly a bad thing. six and debauchery everywhere in his pocket realms. I doubt all of our characters are perfect saints.

Posted, but I wasn't sure if my and Jonas were included in the group mentioned by Darkom. I think we were, but don't want to write about it just in case we're not. If someone can let me know, I'll edit my post ASAP, or write a new one if appropriate.

Also I was thinking, whether it might be best to make this RP finish at the exit and make a new one for the journey to the IC? Just an idea? ^_^

Of course, my good man. There is currently a list of reservations for people joining us at the Imperial City, which is where we will start the next RP in the series. It's going to take us another week or two to get there, but if you can wait till then then it will be much easier to add you in. Alternatively, if you really want to start right now, you could find a way to meet up with us during our flight to Weye. Whichever works better for you. ;)

I had thought that you guys were still right inside the fort, so you'd be rather close to Jonas and I. Feel free to respond to Faendal, or just ignore him, either way is fine.

And that is possible, but I don't really see the advantage of it. We still have five pages left in that thread that we can fill, and there's no real break like the one once we reach the IC.We'd be stopping in the middle of the action. It's a possibility, but for now I'd say we should stick to the same thread. :)

The Aldmeri Dominion did not "Conquer" Elsweyr, any more than the U.S.A. "conquered" Texas. The Empire has never been good for the Khajiit, and Annequine and Pelletine thrive from the aid of the Dominion now that they are no longer under the heel of the Empire. Don't forget - the Thalmor also saved the entire race, and the Empire's so unwilling to admit it that they use qualifiers to say they merely "Claim" to have ended the Void Nights, without providing ANY evidence for those spurrilous claims.

While the Dominion may not be lenient to the freedom of religion for the Nords, it certainly is receptive and tolerant of the Khajiit's lunar worship, unlike the Empire. And Moon Sugar doesn't convince people to go out, kill elves, and crush resistance under the heel of a Giant Stompy Robot.

Let me point out that they did conquor Elsweyr through deception. Be it through knowing what would happen with the void nights or by making it happen. Claiming they fixed such a thing with little proof seems far fetched to me. The only people with such power to be able to make both moons disappear would be the Psijic Order or the Aedra.

And how did they 'save' the race?

Cause, the way I see it the Aldmeri Dominion would not have lasted an assault on Elsweyr without suffering severe casualties. Fair enough they'd have an easy road to Torval since its so close to the Valenwood Border. However the deserts and tribes would make any sort of unified Army marching through there to be quite literally one massive target that would suffer from dehydration, heat exhaustion and constant hit and run tactics from Tribal Warlords. Much like the Empire instead they used a massive robot. Lets not forget what they did to the area around Halls of Collossus (Empire :P)

So the elves would have either A: Used some form of divination from the collective power of Crystal Tower or B: An Orrery and some how either predicted that the moons would disappear or they in a rather unlikely scenario managed to summon up enough power to actually black out the moons for five years. Last bit doesn't seem feaseable with me much though.

Therefore, we know the Dominion could not have taken out the moons. However, the long-lived High Elves of the Thalmor do have the knowledge and wisdom to figure out what was going on and restore them. It's not like Mortals haven't been able to undo cosmic catastrophes in the past.

The Aldmeri Dominion didn't have any intention to invade Elsweyr - Annequine and Pelletine revolted against Imperial misrule, dismissal, oppression and subjugation, and their re-formed, long-time allies in the Aldmeri Dominion (Look at Elsweyr's history - As long as there's been a Dominion, the Khajiit have been strong allies with them) offered them the strength and protection to rebel against the Empire. Furthermore, the Khajiit of Elsweyr have had more freedom of self-determination as a protectorate of the Dominion than they did as a Province of the Empire. The Dominion has also been able to ease-if-not-eliminate hundreds of years of racial tensions between the Bosmer and Khajiit. (Tashiir loves vactationing in Valenwood - the local style of dress particularly appeals to her, especially on the younger Bosmeri men.)

They are also no longer thieves and smugglers within the Dominion - a role they were forced to mantle and idealize under Imperial Oppression, as it gave them a way to "fight back" without going head-to-head with the occupying army.

When the Thalmor came, it was with salvation, protection against Elsweyr's enemies, and humanitarian relief for the Khajiit.

Reading between the lines of the synopsis of Elsweyr, the Thalmor, and Aldmeri Dominion on the UESP.
