I was wandering about, and I stumbled onto a bit of info: Tamriel and it's environs started as a D&D world of one of the original developers. In hind sight this kinda makes sense and I was wondering, are the Tribunal an old adventuring party? They seem to have party balance and the quest and later drama reeks of PC-ness. If so, is anybody on here from the party or knows what really happened beneath Red Mountain that session?

I can't say for certain where, but I recall Todd saying that their inspiration came from a bunch of different sources. (this was semi-recently, infact)
