» Fri May 27, 2011 12:50 pm Word from the creator (ImmortalBlood):
This is an entirely new genre of RP which some have dubbed as "Siege". Not sure if this has been done before or if it has been done this way, but I'll explain how the flow of things will go so that this will be organized and enjoyable for everyone. The RP is centered around a siege and incorporates elements of battle, and adventure with a strong over tone of politics. This won't be a full head on charge for the enemy as some might assume and if you do this you'll find yourself destroyed fairly easily. One must also remember that what you are fighting for may not be so obvious from the start. Are you fighting to destroy the Empire's grasp on Hammerfell or are you using them to destroy the rival candidate of ruling the Redguards once the dust settles? Are you here to defend the Empire? Or to make sure your not so beloved sibling goes down with the Redguard resistance? In any case expect a lot of cloak and dagger type situations along with a high pitched and tactical battle.
Storyline: It is the 2nd Year of the 4th and the treaty of Anvil signed between the Empire and the Summerset Isle finally brings peace after over a year of bloodshed that has seen countless live lost at sea and on land. The terms were in favor of the Summerset, and the entire Valenwood Province was given to the, re-creating the Aldmeri Dominion.
With the majority of the Legions battered, the impetuous Redguards of Hammerfell erupted in rebellion seeing their chance at independence. This was motivated by what the Hammerfell population felt was alienation and indifference toward the newly expanding Iliac Bay Wars and heavy taxation. Chancellor Ocato managed to keep peaceful relations with the newly reborn Aldmeri Dominion allowing him to send most of the Legion forces to Hammerfell to crush the wild fire rebellions.
The plan was simple, drive a main force along the southern coastal cities while using naval support to re-supply. At the same time, the Nords were allowed to attack from the north east and did so in small raiding parties largely unorganized but enough to spread out the Redguards superior numbers. Within half a year, the Empire's Legions had recovered all of the Forebear cities who put up much less of a fight then the Crowns would have allowing the force to remain largely intact. The Legion perused the Redguards up the western coast toward Sentinel but before it could be reached the Redguards sprang their trap beating back the Legions to Chasetown with light casualties however.
A letter was sent to the Imperial City requesting for more troops. The "roaring" walls of Sentinel were fierce and fiery unnerving all but the most veteran and elite of the legion. The once mighty military arm of the Empire was weak and worn. The Elder Council had no readied forces to send.
--------------------------------------------------------
The dragon symbol of the Empire was adorned down the walls of the Elder Council chambers. Each seat was filled and a thick air of gravity made it hard for everyone to breath. Arguments went back and forth for hours on what should be done. Logistics were again and again repeated like unyielding love poetry recited to one's dear. What would be done, what could be done, was the wisdom of the Elder Council exhausted?
"But then how do we crush these rebels? We must crush them on their own ground lest they become even more arrogant and invade the whole of Colovia!"
"Non-sense, our Nord allies would not allow such a thing to befall upon the Empire. Calm yourself."
"You're an old senile fool if you think the Nords will side with us if an invading force attacked Cyrodiil itself. No one north of Bruma has appreciated our little peace keeping Legion we sent to defend the Redoran boarder. The entire Nordic province is a reckless bastion of raiding marauders, lawless mad men and.."
The rant was interrupted by another voice, a strong and confident voice. It was the voice of Claudius, a tall and broad man of Colovian stock.
"We must simply look to see who our allies are and what if any military force they hold. To the south we have the province of Elsweyr but with the Aldmeri Dominion as a whole on their western boarder, and their fleets to their south, they won't bother considering taking any of their own troops out of their garrison. To the north as we know the Nords have already been given the go ahead to raid the north east of Hammerfell in an attempt to thin the Redguard defenses. To the North West we have Queen Elysana of Wayrest who has just gained a peaceful treaty in her favor from Daggerfall and Orsinium. She would gladly accept the invitation to stake some claims on land owned by Sentinel and who would we be to deny her? Finally to the East, we have King Helseth of Morrowind who has friendly relations with both Aryon of Great House Telvanni and Andarys of Great House Dres."
Claudius paused for a moment allowing for his words to sink in but before he could begin again the voice of Ocato finally spoke across the room. It was no secret that Ocato and Claudius were not on friendly terms. Each one suspected the other of having political ambitions that were too arrogant for the other and that would prove disastrous for the Empire.
"And how do you propose we motivate the good King of Morrowind to move an entire army of his all the way across Tamriel to fight on a war which he has nothing to gain while his political rivals at home scheme in his absence?"
Ocato grinned, thinking he had just given the rebuttal to shut up Claudius for the rest of the meeting.
"We make him Emperor."
Ocato's grin was only outdone by Claudius's. The entire council erupted in gasps of shock followed by murmuring, conversing and noise.
"Preposterous!"
"It's the only hope of the Empire!"
"We'll have the entire city in rebellion by morning!"
"He has proven his loyalty to us!"
"SILENCE!"
Everyone fell quiet. Claudius couldn't stand most elves, especially arrogant haughty ones such as the Altmer, Ocato. He would rather see an Imperialized Dark Elf like Helseth be Emperor then Ocato.
"Perhaps you had some aspiration for the throne Ocato, perhaps your entire goal is to hand the Empire to your kin in the Aldmeri Dominion. You were awfully quick to give an entire province to them in exchange this vassalage you call peace! Our people are starving in the streets of Bravil and Skingrad paying taxes for your kind!"
Claudius was now yelling. The old council member by the name of Craterus stood up. He was known as a man of reason and balance, usually quiet and correct.
"Making Helseth like this Emperor would cause problems. But how do we get him to fight for us you ask. We need every ally we can get. It is no secret we need an Emperor. Our constant bickering is proof enough for me of such fact. Why not offer a challenge then, to prove the worth of each of these rulers. Whoever shall quell the rebellion in Hammerfell, shall rule the Empire!"
Getting Started:
When joining the RP you must keep in mind what faction you want to join. The main groupings are as following; The Legion which will be the main force, Wayrest headed by Queen Elysana, and lastly Helseth and his forces from Morrowind which will be mostly Hlaalu. On the other side of Sentinel's walls will be the Redguard forces made up of a composition of Crown and Forebear Redguards who for once are working together. The Hammerfell forces have the most flexibility in their character design of their general out of the five main "factions".
Next, ask yourself what ability you have in this RP. Can you be a full time player? I don't want to scare any people off by this question. Full time doesn't mean 24/7. But can you dedicate some time to posting at least say around five or so moderately lengthy posts? You must have some good ability at writing as well. In any case this RP does not move with these five essential components, Elysana, Helseth, Legion Commander (Ocato maybe?) and at least two faction leaders for the Sentinel forces. These are simply necessary for this to work. These are 1st Class character slots which are essential. If these get taken up and I somehow have an abundance of dedicated well writing people, more slots for this caliber will be opened depending on how things go.
Under these five main commanding characters the options are almost infinite. You can be a cavalry commander, a knight, archer, assassin, or mage whatever. You choose how involved you want to be. For example the Legions are going to have the Knights of the Nine involved in this siege. Perhaps you can take the role of the commander.
Lastly, you must understand the flow of this RP. It is the first of its kind as far as I am aware so I myself am not sure what will happen but this is what I am going for. It will revolve around Sentinel and prefer for people to stick around the area. The Legions will be head quartered in Chasetown, the Wayrest forces will be north east of Sentinel on the coast and Helseth will be somewhere in between. You must work together with your other allies to take over/repel your opponents. The Siege is at a stand still. The rebel forces are getting supplies by harbor, and the Empire's forces are also each getting supplies their own way. The Redguards can not leave Sentinel because they are out numbered, and the Empire can't just charge in because of the defenses of Sentinel. This is where the tactics come in. Bait your enemy, use espionage, sabotage, assassination, bribing, poisoning, steal and lie, do whatever you need to come out on top.
Think: Iliad.
Sentinel itself: Sentinel is a coastal province south of the Bay. It is the Capital of Hammerfell. Sentinel sits on the edge of the Iliac Bay. It is most definitely a merchant power, for it sits on a rocky run of hills, and the barren plains behind it offer no good soil before they run into the desert sands of the Alik'r. It borders Ayasofya in the east, Antiphyllos and Myrkwasa in the west. Its principal street is a vast marketplace stretching from the harbor all the way to the badlands gate. Sentinel Palace is the oldest and largest Redguard architectural monument, quickly built during the Ra Gada firestorm to ward against the Bretons and added to ever thereafter.
Along with this I will have Sentinel have a filtering system inside of the city itself, a new found Dwemer technology which I will describe to the ones who take the Redguard faction. As some of you may know Sentinel also has cannons fired by black powder. They will more or less be iron tubes placed on wooden platforms that shoot powerful but inaccurate shots.
Sentinel will have seventy-five of them to be placed as the Redguard faction leaders wish.
The Legions will have 20 Trebuchets, 15 Ballistae, 5 Mangonels.
The Wayrest forces will have 10 Catapults, 5 Trebuchets.
The Morrowind forces of Helseth will have 20 Ballistae, 10 Managonels.
Relationship between the allied factions: As you may well know, Helseth and Elysana loathe each other. The succession of either one of them as ruler of the Empire will mean the death of the other. They will not openly attack each other doing so would mean the death of the entire operation. Though both Elysana and Helseth will have much smaller forces then the Legion numbers, they are required to take over Sentinel. Perhaps a wise Redguard general can figure out how to cause a bit rift between the enemy and charge against them amongst the chaos? On top of this Ocato has also joined this siege with the Legions with his Imperial Battlemages, wanting to show his worth in the eyes of the council and be made Emperor.
Likewise the two Redguard faction leaders will not see eye to eye either. One being a Crown, the other a Forebear, about the only thing they can agree is that they need to win this siege. If one where to somehow cause a civil war within Sentinel, one would save many lives that would other wise be spent taking the walls.
Some basic rules:
I was surprised that I would have to post this, but others insisted it would be a good idea.
1. Use good grammar and spelling. Type your post up in Word if you don't think you can do it. Everyone makes mistakes so I don't have anything against people who aren't good at the language. English isnt my first language either, but not using precautions such as Word shows you really don't care. Make your posts lengthy and descriptive. Even if it is just a boring conversation, describe, describe, describe!
2. Expect to die! Make more then one character. You may be assassinated, stabbed, beaten, drown, buried alive, mauled by scamps or blown up. Or you might just be unlucky and catch an arrow in your throat. Regardless you aren't invincible and I will call you on it if it happens. I'm not against powerful characters, that isn't an issue, but do it because you know how to do it. Don't RP a master mage if you can't write about it in depth and with skill. "Shoots a major fire ball that kills everyone." Doesn't make you a good mage. It makes you a chump and you will be booted. Like wise don't RP and awesome archer if you don't know some basics for archery. The same goes for melee combat.
3. I don't care of you have romance! Just don't get lewd with it. Yes I don't care if you RP six as long as you are tactful about it. I don't care it doesn't bother me, and if it bothers people they can just skip over it. Just don't obsess over it, make sure it has a point to the storyline and isn't "stupid."
4. When fighting you almost NEVER write the outcome of your opponent. You don't write "Shoots a volley of arrows and kills all of the cavalry." You would just write that you shot the volley. Like wise if the person who is RPing the cavalry MUST reply to the attack. I've seen a lot of instances were the other guy just ignores what just happened. I was lax in Holy Wars concerning this situation, I won't be in this. You write in the affect of your enemy's attack, or I let them do it. And if they do, by some miracle all of the arrows will kill all of your cavalry.
5. Do NOT be all knowing. It's just stupid when you have a guy in the RP that just seems to be able to guess everything. RP your character unknowing of something if he really doesn't know even if it means his/her death
All characters will be PMed to me(Immortal Blood). Your main character needs a character sheet. You can have many others without it. I don't really care. Your faction needs a sheet as well which I will discuss with you via PM. Name the PM "Character Sheet ______" whoever your character is and for the faction it is "Faction Sheet______"
Character sheet:
Name:
Race: (Use Lore sense.)
Age: (Use Lore sense.)
Birthsign:
Physical Description: (Describe your character, not his/her clothes and armor. Clothes can change.)
History:
Weapons:
Armor:
Misc. Items: (Enchanted Rings, necklaces)
Companions: (Do you have a servant or body guard hanging around like an NPC or a secondary character?)
Faction Sheet:
Faction Name: (Wayrest, Legion, Helseth's Forces, Redguard Forebears, Redguard Crowns.)
Rank: (King, Cavalry Commander, Spearman, Peasant Archer's etc)
The rest will be a back and forth discussion. Say you are given 1000 troops. Out of that 1000 you then reply to me what kind of troops you want. For example: (feel free to use any of these btw)
Nibenay peasant archer levies (300): Archers drawn from the Colovian peasantry trained in use of a bow. They wear a mixture of iron chain-mail and padded armor and are armed with an iron dagger for melee.
Colovian Heavy Cavalry (550): Steel plated Knights mounted on armored horses ride into battle with lances and maces. They have a powerful charge against most infantry but are to avoid spear and pike units.
Nordic Marauders (150): Hardy and fierce warriors from Skyrim who fight for gold and plunder. These brave warriors are usually armed with steel claymores or axes with wooden round shields. They are usually armored in chain-mail and leather armors.
And of course numbers would be higher and you can get very descriptive. You are also to keep track of your own forces. I will also keep track of some people incase they accidentally make a mistake.
Last but not least, I've always been a fan of the Daedra artifacts in the Elder Scroll Series. If you want one, tell me so and which one and see if you can come up with a story behind it for your character. I won't allow some artifacts and I may pick someone else for you if I see that the storyline would better from them having the artifact instead of you. It isn't that you may be a bad choice, but that the other person may have a better role for it.

Cast of Characters
Geraldduval:
Septimus Aquila - Nord. Knight Commander of the Imperial Legion and second in command to Quintus Cinncinatus. Known for being sickly thin, weak, difficult to deal with, dirty and a hopeless alcoholic.
Jean Molyneaux - Breton. Long dead, an apparition from Aquila's past that both aides and torments the drunken nord.
Centurion Lucius Varo - Imperial. Aquila's right hand man and adjutant. Born to the army and completely decensitized to violence and cruelty. known for being harsh in the treatment of friend and foe alike. Carries a fine Ra'gada dai-katana, taken from the Ansei Raza after a rescue attempt.

--The Orange lines are the main roads leading through the city, the dark blue lines are city aquaducts and the green patches are city gardens.
Districts- The Great City of Sentinel is the Jewel of Hammefell, and Second Capital of the Provence. The city itself is massive and diverse, with people coming from all over to see the sights such as the Great Bazaar, the famous Sentinel Theater, the Great Temple devoted to the Yokudan Pantheon or the Sentinel Palace, home of the Elden Yokeda. These sights are just a few that Sentinel has to offer, with its marvelous and complex infrastructure and its unique and beautiful architecture, making it one of Nirn's most precious assets, if not the most, given the current state of the Imperial City under a decaying Imperial Regime.
The City is divided up into Eight Districts, each one, unique in its own way and very important to the social structure of the city, and especially its defense.
Poor District
Middle District
Rich District
Palace District (Which includes the Great Bazaar)
Temple District
Docks
Forbearer District
Crown District
City Loyalists - The city itself, like most other cities of Hammerfell, is more of a city state then anything, only different in the fact that its the current seat of the Elden Yokeda. This said, the city is largely made up of loyalists who pledge their allegiance to the city, and its ruler, who just so happens to be a Crown, and Elden Yokeda. None the less, the people of the city hold no specific allegiance to either Forbearer or Crown, and while their are those who support the two sides, most of them remain neutral of sorts, which is why each faction was given their own district within the city, preventing any sort of perceived favoritism among the people, and adverting conflict by seperating the Crowns from the Forbearer's.
The Poor District
The Poor District is where societies unfortunate live out their days. This district is attached to the main Sentinel Gate, and while its not the most beautiful district of the city, it gives visitors the impression of how diverse the city truly is. The Poor District also serves as the cities Foreign Quarter, along with the Middle District for the more wealthier travelers, where people all over the world usually stay when visiting the city, as the other portions of the city are off limits to the rest of the world. This was just recently instated, due to the fact of the war, and the possibility that someone could use information gathered by visiting the other districts to bring ruin to the city.
The Middle District
The Middle District is the first thing a traveler would come to if entering the city from the north, and better represents Sentinels interests abroad, as the merchant princes make their homes in this district. The district is large, and not as heavily populated as the Poor District, which in fact has the largest number of people living in it, compared to the other districts, but the Middle District has the second largest population, off setting the possible bad impression people get from entering the Poor District. The merchants and traders of the city make their home here, along with the middle class sect of society, giving the district its name. As one might guess, the district is a large improvement, visually, from the Poor District, and is perhaps the most active portion of the city, aside from the Great Bazaar in the Palace District, making it the friendliest and most 'cultured' section of the city.
The Rich District
The Rich District shows the lavish life the richest of the richest of Sentinel live. This district is the most visualy stunning, and not surprisingly, the least populated. Unlike the other districts, the Rich district is marked by large manors of the nobles, the streets are wider, cleaner, and not as active as the others. The rich tend to stick to their manors, throwing lavish parties for each other and living the way their money has bought them, as kings. The most notable structure in the Rich District is the Great Sentinel Theater, a lavish and extravagant building where the great performers of Sentinel put on the most famous morality plays, famed through out Nirn.
The Palace District
The Palace District is the most busy and famous of all the districts. This is the commercial center of the city, where the Great Bazaar surrounds the palace that looms overhead. Here is where anything and everything can be found, if you need it, look no further than the Sentinel Bazaar. This sec. of the city remains the most popular of all, where people mengel and meet, sell and barter, where everything short of a mans soul can be bought or sold.
The Temple District
The Temple district is the religious center of Sentinel and the least busy. Here the Great Pantheon looms over the lush and beautiful gardens that surround it. Perhapses the most well guarded sect. of the city, only Ansei, monks, religious orders of the city, and of course the privileged can enter its walls. Inside the District walls lies the cities food stores, a massive granary that can only be accessed by those charged by the Elden Yokeda.
The Docks
The Docks of Sentinel remain a bustling place, day and night. Home of the Great Sentinel fleet, the cities warships can be seen floating out in the Harbor or in their berths while merchant ships sail in and out, loading and unloading. Here, the smell of fish is strong and the salty air of the sea hangs over everything. As of recent, the docks have become more and more active, as its the current base of operations for the war effort under the Kahn, Bomilkar Barca of the Aliki'r and his army of fifteen thousand men. None the less, food and supplies regularly run in and out of the docks and into the city, making it easy to get lost in the confusion.
The Forbearer District
The Forbearer district is, as the name implies, very faction specific. Here, the open loyalists of the Forbearer's live out their lives, separated from most of the others in the city so they can live their lives out with their fellows. This by no means means that they aren't allowed to venture out into the city, it simply implies that they have their own spot in the city in which they can be with those of their own kind. Notable building in this district are the mansions of the rich and the Forbearer Beuro, which also acts as a palace for the current leader of the Forbearer faction leader, located in the Western Corner of the District.
The Crown District
The Crown District, like the Forbearer District, is very faction specific. Notable buildings in the area are the rich manors and the Crown Beuro. Its noticeable that the Crowns district is much more lavish and well designed than the Forbearer District, mainly because of their allegiance and the fact that they are richer than the Forbearer's, having more nobles then anything in the city, or richer merchants.
Aqueducts (Dark Blue Lines on the map)
Sentinel has one of the largest and most sophisticated aqueduct systems on Nirn, which run through the entire city, delivering fresh drinking water to the citizens, filtering out the salt water from the sea and purifying it for drinking. These large structures dominate every district in the city, and are vital for the cities survival.
Defenses and Black Powder
Sentinel has many factors that prevent it from falling to attackers. For one, its high walls are a testimate to its greatness, dominating the badlands that surround the city and is all that needs to be seen to drive off most would0be attackers. Second, its brave men of the Sentinel Army, though most of which are militia, they are all that is needed to fire volley after volley of arrows at anyone foolish to attempt a frontal assault. finally, and perhaps the most famous and deadly of the cities defenses is what gives the 'Roaring Walls' their name, the black powder 'cannons'.
Black Powder
This is a mysterious substance that is developed by the great Sentinel alchemists. Its ingredients are unknown to most, which is key to keeping the Roaring Walls of Sentinel a secret. Even during the Imperial occupation, the secret remained well hidden from the Imperials, even as they began to exploit the province and its natural secrets. The Black Powder is the substance used that powered Sentinels great Cannons, mounted on their wall's and naval ships. These unique weapons launch large balls made of iron and other materials at high speeds, propelled by the Black Powder which is highly flammable and is used as the driving force used to propel these 'cannon balls'.
