Heres how this is going to work as soon as we get settled into our appropriate sides...
Athell and I will RP the leaders of each faction (Helseth and the Archmage). We will send you guys (and any newcomers) out on missions across Vvardenfell and Solsthiem, to gain power, supplies, materials, and make diplomacy with other factions (yes, there are other minor factions). So, say Helseth wants to add the mercenaries of the Fighter's Guild to his ranks. He will have to go and persuade them to join. Say the archmage wants to take Khuul or Ald Velothi. He will have to fight for it. Say the rebels are low on weapons, the could go search through an abandoned Dunmeri fortress, or Imperial fort.
It will be slightly difficult to do all of this, and we will probably have to date our posts. Once we build up enough supplies and allies, the real war shall begin! Each nation (and faction) will need an army sheet, something Athell and I will be working on, and then we will post them to ze wiki. Use the wiki!
