The Seven Lords of Sin

The Seven Lords of Sin

All in all, the Oblivion Incident left the world of Cyrodiil united. Conflicts have been forgotten in order to defeat one common enemy. However, it also left the seat for leadership open. Although that the Amulet of Kings and the Dragonfires are not part of the ritualistic position of Emporer, the country still needed a leader, as they wouldn't know how to function on their own. As much unity and security the Oblivion Incident left, it also left it's scars and deaths upon the surface. Kvatch is destroyed, and rebuilding it dosn't happen overnight. Hundreds of city guards and civilians lost thier lives in the fight against Mehrues Dagon and the Mythic Dawn.

This lead to a perfect time for somebody to attack the empire, a perfect time for somebody to rise up. A Dunmer, which had earned a name during the Defence of Cyrodiil against Mehrues Dagon. The Dunmer was not the CoC, but he was still a hero., and he gained alot of support after the CoC turned down the offer of Emporer. After Ocato turned down the job (he wasn't "worthy"), the Dunmer was selected, and he happily obliged. For a good two to three years, Cyrodiil was prosperous, and factions like the Dark Brotherhood and the Thieves Guild disbanded.

However, the Dunmer soon became corrupt with power. Enforcing more rigid and evil laws, making it near impossible for anyone to do anything against the Emporer. He disbanded the Warriors' and Mages' guild, fearing that they might try to end his rule. The Dunmer had created a new alias for himself, something that fits him perfectly: Wrath.

He brings destruction and death to those in Cyrodiil, and has turned the Imperial Legion into a hammer to smash any rebellion or mutiny in his world. He appointed 6 other Officers to rule the cities under him.

Gluttony: A lavish, fat Imperial who rules and resides in Cheydinhal. His Elite Guard consists of Battle-Worn, ex-Legionarres
Lust: A tall, rich Altmer that resides in a extravegant estate in Skingrad, where he rules. His Elite Guard consits of Altmer Spellcasters.
Sloth: A disgusting, huge Orc who resides in a filthy Castle in Anvil. His Elite Guard consists of Orcish Barbarians.
Greed: A small, quick Bosmer who steals from the citizens of Chorrol, where he rules. His Elite Guard consists of ex-Marauders and Shamans.
Envy: A Female, Power-Hungry Redguard that lives and rules and Leyawiin. Her Elite Guard consists of the nastiest and most brutal Redguard Pirates and Plunderers.
Pride: A huge, strong Argonian that has hundreds of Stuffed Trophies in his castle in Bruma. His Elite Guard consits of ruthless poachers and hunters.

Bravil is now a fortress where most of the Imperial Legion resides. It is also a mass prison and execution center, and is ruled by the General of the Legion, a Breton Battlemage, infamously called The Sheriff.


The role you play: You will group up and fight against the suppresive Empire that now rules Cyrodiil. The Champion of Cyrodiil will be leading the uprising, and is setting up a meeting a Cave called Blackfeather Cave, on the Western coast of Cyrodill. You can represent other provinces, such as Morrowind or High Rock, or you could be a civilian tired of the infamous rule. You could be an ex-Bandit looking for revenge, or, I don't know, get creative!

So join, Rebellion is waiting.

I could have sworn their names were going to be Belial, Azmodan, Andariel, Duriel, Mephisto, Baal and Diablo.

Jeez, you think that's slow? That's one of the fastest moving threads I've seen in TES for a while.

It's called character building. The Fallout Rps typically don't have much to do with that and get straight to the action. TES rps are longer because they're expected to be longer. The people put a lot more care and thought into their characters. I mean, look at End of an Era for the perfect example.

I have a few ideas. :) I'm going to make a character affected by whicher Lord i "like" the most.
For greed i could make a Miner who is extremely overworked, because the Lord wants more money,
For Sloth, i could make a character who is living in the worst slums of Anvil, the Lord having allowed the city to fall apart because he's too lazy to do anything. :)


Fallout roleplays are straightforward and to the point, not even a whole lot of room for intrigue and character building. Most people fit a stereotype or another.

In TES Roleplays, there is so much diversity, we come to adore our characters.

Well, I'd join. I'd love to have another RP to be in while playing Chriso's as well. (Btw, I really like Chriso's RP so far. In a real story, the adventures often don't just spring up and happen. The way its going now allows us to familiarize with each other in such a way we can create some spectacular scenes in the cave).

Anyways, I'd join this RP. Can we submit character sheets? I have an idea for a character already made out (and don't worry, it won't be the same as I'm using for Chriso's).

EDIT: Just read what you just posted. I'll wait until we get enough votes, then.

Hmm...how does everyone know about this rebellious group? Wouldn't some legion guys hear about it eventually? So far the Champion's rebellion sounds like it's going to be stomped out by soldiers. Anyway, sure I'll join, but I really hope you withdraw people the option to be rulers or even ambassadors from other provinces. Play those yourself, or hand them off to some experienced RPer; I don't want to see one in the hands of someone like me that has been in only a few good RPs.

Anyway, sure, the plot is sound, and it sounds like it will be getting popular, I'll send you a character sheet tommorow. One thing, perhaps this Dunmer Emporer did more then slay goblin lords. I don't see how that makes him popular enough to be an emporer. Perhaps if he was the Coc, or at least assisted in the defense of Cyrodiil; something besides "eradicating many bandit kings and goblin tribes". Really now, the obvious choices for emporer would have to be...not an outlander with an axe.

Good work so far, I look forward to the RP.

OK yes I am definitely gonna join, but you should change the title to The SIX Lords of Sin. Because I only see six names.

EDIT: Ooops the Emporer is a Lord of Sin aswell. Sorry.

I like this RP. I made an account just to play it! I already have a character idea, an wanted escapee who decides to join the rebellion, but claims just to be a disgruntled farmer.

Well that's dissapointing, considering all the room the setting has for it.

Anyway, this rp does look like it would be fun.

God dammit! This RP looks really good. I'm sad to say however that it would be really hard for me to be in two RP's. Sorry :(. But still, good luck Birthday :D.

Oh and reaper, please don't try and slate my RP for being slow and boring. It would svck of we just went to the cave, maybe if you made your posts a bit longer you'd enjoy it more...

Can't be in two RPs, bah! I'm currently in four, although one or two are probably dying. And as soon as Illusionary gets back, maybe her RP will go again too.

Oh, and have a fishy stick, Distraction. I assume you have some RP experience then?

EDIT: Of course, I was kidding. If I had my own RP, I would be very cautious about it. Having to read everyone's post and all, it's like being a mini-moderator. Have fun over there, wish I'd signed up when I had the chance ^_^

Yeah but the RP I'm in is my own, and I like to put all my focus on it, I would join this RP otherwise.
