I think the roles will differ depending on you're faction or character, varying from noble defenders against the daedra, greedy polatitions trying to use a bad situation to their advantage, The great houses impaticular could be viewed in a mafia type role, each trying to gain power over the other in their moment of confusion or weakness, trying to steal trade/land etc to better thier own house. Its a good mix of good sub plots.. and each would effect another in different ways.. If the logistics are worked out to perfection this RP would be very very good.

Personally i have a character in mind but i wont say anything about him until its been aproved b Immortal

The entire point of the RP would be to see how a settlement like Vvardenfell would react to the crisis and how it would handle it, we've already seen what happened wit the crisis in Cyrodil, so why make an RP about it when its been done before loads of times?

Unlike a cyrodil based oblivion crisis we can shape and decide the fate of this island to our own vision, unlike Cyrodil where we're restricted by concrete lore.

Hmmmm, yeah I probably would join. I have been looking to RPing a Telvanni wizard but never seen any roleplays with them included, or at least ones that have survived.

I would join so count me in if you make one.

Well since most people want Telvanni, I'll go Redoran.

hmm... I was planning on a healer (so it'll be really good if I don't have to command troops ) So I guess I'm actually going to be with the Legion... or possibly Redoran because they'd probably pay the best considering that IB mentioned that they were taking the brunt of the attacks

They take the brunt of attacks because their the only ones who actually try fixing the situation.

Same thing with every war that has ever happened in the history of Morrowind.

I was thinking of either Redoran or Hlaalu, never even considered Telvaani... But thats because i dont really like the idea of using a Telvanni mage much.

EDIT: Wow 18 votes on yes.. Thats nice, me and Immortal only expected 8 or so.. But then he did said in an hour.. its probably been over an hour..

The only real problem I see is that althought at first you get many people joining, most leave at a few posts and they are never heard from again. With having all of the factions that Morrowind has and that most people being spread among them, their isn't much of a chance for having any real character interaction between people, especially as I said before with people vanishing.

Maybe this needs to be thought out more?

For what it's worth, I'd participate. I'd normally jump on the chance to be Telvanni, but I think I'll try something else. Perhaps a member of the temple?

Well Immortals other RP "The wolf of the rose fiield" has all the characters split into two groups, so they can have character interaction and eventually meet up and have skirmishes while on their search for the main antagonist of the plot.. So in a sense this is much the same, you have alot more people in this though.. With more factions, if the people are going to be split into the different factiosn they can interact and develope relationships and what not with other characters in thier faction, eventually they would interact with other people from other factions but i dont think it would be as disorganised as some might think, especially if Immortal regulates the amount of people to each faction to keep it well balanced.. Then theres freelancers without factions who can drift from place to place interacting with others.

Haha! No need for thought.

I find it better to just plop it on the table and see what we can mold with it.

You are right however in that everyone being from a different faction will mean less interaction. So everybody go Redoran.


Read that as Voluntelling Story and others where to go. Sometimes at gunpoint.

Im not sure about that, with the amount of people willing to join i doubt there would be much trouble with interaction, i imagine there would be alot of interaction between the greathouses and such as well.. Its just the smaller less influential or less involved factions that may suffer.

Actually this would probably be the best idea to use. Given a certain amount of people in each faction instead of having 7 Redoran 6 Telvanni and 1 Hlaalu. This would force interaction between people in their own faction. If there isn't enough spaces in any other factions left then people can become freelance and possibly later on in the RP secure their place in their chosen faction. Just an idea.

To keep the RP more alive and people busy perhaps Immortal Blood could give regular goals to each Faction that they have to all work together with such as The Telvanni finding out more about the Oblivion gates and possibly launching an expedition into them or the Legion having to venture into one and close it. Possibly have both of them mixing together to have a Legion regiment come across a Telvanni research group in the middle of Oblivion. Could prove interesting.

I think the goals set would be made by those who are heading the factions and by the Dremora general tbh, Heres a scenario.


Hlaalu plans to steal important trade hubs (say ports etc) from the Telvanni while they are distracted by an impending attack from a Daedric great gate which has opened up near by.. I can think of a few ways to add tasks and create strife, and most importantly, give people something to do.

I voted yes. This seems very interesting to me, and far more my style than assassins. I'd most likely join up with the Legion or Redoran. Anyway though, I'm in if you'll have me.

SoS had a similar amount of people in the beginning, and then the number plummeted greatly, we went through alot of slow periods because of that, people tired of being by themself.

Me for example, I was the only person not allied with the Imperials, for a long, long time.

Then it happened to Duval and the legions, and so forth.

Im aware, i followed the time line for a while before i joined, and still did after i was forced to drop out after leaving home for uni and not being able to get on the internet..

However, with the amount of people willing to join, people are bound to drop out, that much is certain. But if the factions each had a certain amount of people (say for example, 3 for each) and one dropped out from each, that would leave two from each faction.

But if there was 5 redoran, 2 Telvani and 1 Hlaalu, and 1 dropped out from each, That would leave good interaction for Redoran, Lonely feelings for Telvanni and Nobody for Hlaalu.

Well, I'm not quite done with the finishing touches on him, but I was gonna do a Morag Tong member, just for some variety from the House members. I suppose if a need arose and ImmortalBlood let me, I do have a Telvanni character I could use if I needed, but.. he's.. a little less than 100% lore friendly. :unsure:

I could make him work though, I could. :nod:

I'd join but I feel a bit unexperianced. But I am getting better. I have been wanting to do a Telvanni wizard for a realy long time. I'm also on every day.

just have a go, so long as you put some effort in to your posts, its always good to roleplay with people who are good and, judging the the interest in this thread there are a going to be a lot of good roleplayers here

Exactly. You dont get better by shying away. If you feel threatened by the amount of good RPers willing to join an RP, dont, Join any way and they will 9 times out of ten, help you improve.

You'd be suprised at how well you can write when given something to actually work with, Alot of people with little experience band together and give eachother craptastic posts, But if you're given something good, you can recipricate to a good standard.

Oh now i get, i wish i can recount my vote!

im in, but ill choose Redoran!

I came on here just now and my first reaction was "holy [censored] I have a small army". Well if we really do get this many people plus others who will join along the way I am for opening up other factions but some will be priority. For example:

Legion
Hlaalu
Redoran
Telvanni

These will be priority and i'll need at least x amount of people in each faction before the other factions would be open such as:

Temple
Thieves Guild
Mages Guild
Fighters Guild
Nordic Raiders (a group of Nords that are stranded on Vvardenfell)

Aundae
Quarra
Berne


Any other suggestions?

abolitionists? (I forget the group's name... something to do with lamps?)

but anyway in a world of complete anarchy like this, slavery would become more common as the law slipped and people became more desperate to take control (I know slavery is legal already but it'd become more common as people decided to cath their own)
The abolitionists would have their work cut out and their alligence might actually become worth the price of no slaves...

Twin lamps.

And slavery had been abolished during the crisis.
