The War of Tamriel (Yay or Nay)

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 1:10 pm

This idea seemed like a good one to me. Slave trade, especially of the Argonians, happens alot in Tamriel. I was thinking about a Tamriel equivalent of a Civil War. Basically, there will be two sides, those pro-slavery and those against slavery. Black Marsh is the only province actively involved in the war, fighting to keep slavery from happening. The rest will remain neutral, but might come in later in the RP. The slave trade has been going through all of Tamriel, so those for it have grown in size. This basically gives you a wide variety for both sides. Feel free to comment, vote in the polls, whatever, i want people's opinions on this.

i voted no, the slavery thing seems Cliched to me. id rather see a story about two Councilorsor generals or anybody in a position of power Vying for the place of emperor after the end of the Crisis. Each person would have their sympathisers and eventualy all formalities would drop and a civil war would break out.

With this, you could include other provinces in the battled, those who want to take the empire for themselves, or those who are loyal to the empire and wish to sympathize with one of the two batteling sides.

Just a suggestion :)

no, BIG and epic war of whole world has been seen in games and on films around 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times. It isnt exciting to play the game on this theme anymore.

It'll be nice to have you back. SoS is almost over, a bit more activity and it will be ending soon. I was referring to Cyrodiil, you'll like the plot a lot.

But hopefully once im in highrock from the start i'll have a little more momentum to carry it through :) It is highrock next right?

It's my understanding that many Argonians engage in the slave trade, otherwise it would be extremely difficult for the Dunmer to capture them. Similar to how it worked with European enslavement of Africans, the people themselves traded in slaves in exchange for various items.
