Being the Emperor sure has it's perks i bet, but being a deposed emperor sure sounds like a downcast life.

I guess everything would be down hill from then on.

I wonder if we'll see an Emperor's only guild, or perhaps an Emperors anonymous group (to cope with the loss)

Well, lets not dwell on such a gloomy consideration, and wonder rather, what would be the first few things you would do if you were Emperor?

the emperor gets a skill line forever after they are crowned, i am sure they will be fine

Another important thing I expect from the release of ESO is to kill that "arrow in the knee" jokes.

Ahh, the Second Era Interregnum. Where there were so many "Emperors" that history didn't even bother to record their names.

Except for two.

banishing most of the non mer population of Tamriel , but keep a small percentage of them as slaves is the first thing i would do upon sitting on the throne.

Or that the two burned previous records to, ahem, simplify things.

Who would want to have all of those names in history around your own?

If I were Emperor, and a megalomaniac I would consider revising history too.

i am positive there is going to be a achievement for it

Not sure you're catching on...

A player wins the PVP mosh pit and gets crowned "emperor".

What will happen in the next big PVP moshpit?

Another player wins and gets crowned "Emperor".

A gameplay mechanic and a lore aspect converge. It's not called an Interregnum for nothing.

And considering the next two recorded names for Emperor were Cuhlecain, the "Emperor Zero" (as in Zeroth emperor of the Third Tamrielic Empire), and then the legendary Tiber Septim, first emperor to truly unite all of Tamriel under his banner, I think it's safe to say that especially Tiber has no jealousy towards all the nameless emperors that came before him during the Interregnum.

Nords? He wows you guys with his Thu'um (or was it Wulfharth's pretending to be Tiber?)

Bretons? You will be the first Tiber will roflstomp at the Battle of Sancre Tor.

Dark elves? You give up without a fight because your Gods lost access to their god battery.

Argonians? Not even your swamp can stop his legion's inexorable march.

Redguards? Not even the Warrior Wave can resist him. Cyrus's little uprising brought them to the table, but he still marched all over your land.

High elves? You get the worst of his onslaught when he sics a giant stompy dwemer robot imbued with great mythic power all over your armies because you were too stubborn and WHARRGARBL NO HUMAN RULERZ to surrender.

So count your days, Dominion/Pact/Covenant because y'all gonna get Tiber'd at the end of the Second Era.

If I were Emperor my first official act of business would be to roll up to the starting zone in my royal swag, on my royal giant mudcrab mount.. do some royal flexes, impress some royal chicks and crown a royal Empress.

From there though, I like to think I'd be a harsh dictator who lines his own pockets with the wealth of the kingdom and then once deposed I would hopefully disappear to a nicer area of Tamriel and just spend the rest of my days trying to figure out how to live forever so I can do it all over again.

I'd make sure all swords were curved.

Incidentally if an Emperor is crowned at the time they have a Rings of Mara arrangement with another player does that player get the title of Empress or Consort or Prince Royal or something?

I didn't mean it like it was ignoring interregnum, rather from a later RP historical perspective - proposing the two most prominent Emperors claimed credit to things they really didn't do, or just wanted their scribe to scoot off history with a generic "Well it was during Interregnum". (all facetious mind you)

If I were an Emperor, first thing I'd do is find meself an Empress.

if i was emperor i would ban the word immersion

Lol....

Guard: You there! did I just hear you say IMMERSION?

Hero: Um, well it wasn'tt the context that...

Guard: I don't care; Decree #1 There shall be no word spoken or written that even resembles Immersion - excluding this decree.

Hero: I uh oh.... crap!

Guard: To the poop pens you!
