How about taking Elysana? I was thinking of taking her up but i've made for myself an interesting character in the Aldmeri Dominion.
Read as: Invincible
Speaking of which i'm strongly considering starting off the RP from a pure non military perspective and then once we got some character development in to solidify our cast of characters, then the Skyrim/Aldmeri Dominion invasion of High Rock will be written as an event in which the military aspect will become more involved.
Sounds great to me, maybe some of that stuff that guys like Marn, Ristaag, and Heldwyn like to do, ya know the writing of letters about alliances while being in castles and stuff.
Honestly though, I think it sounds good. Fox hunts, and jousting tournaments would be great ways for Breton characters to mingle and forge them there alliances for our characters and divide that line of who stands where.
