The Light of Auri-El (OOC)

[DrBeansMD]

Hello everyone, I hope the week has gone well so far for all of you.

Unfortunately Dancingstar has informed me that she will no longer be with us for this RP. I am still hoping to get at least one more person to join us before we start (an endeavor which I am unfortunately having little success in). If no one comes forward in the next couple of days, I think we probably have enough characters to get started anyway. If any of you know someone else who might like to join us, please encourage them to do so! I am very excited to get this show on the road, and I think the more players we have, the more interesting our story will be.

• I'll try and advertise a little, I think I know a few who like Skyrim ^^

[DrBeansMD]

Thanks! I can get you the code for the banner in my signature if you want to use it.

• sorry i've been so busy the past couple of days celebrating new years i've only been on my mobile. I would love to use your banner! Happy 2017 btw!

[DrBeansMD]

Thanks, same to you! I'll stick the banner in code form on the front page of the OOC so that everyone can use it (I am an avid supporter of shameless advertising ).

Hi everybody! I hope you are all doing well.

I have decided that now is about as good a time as any to start this RP, and I've put the initial post in the main thread to get us started. Go ahead and post whenever you get the chance, I am excited to get this show on the road!

[aeternavi]

• Alright! I can't wait as well. I should have a post up by the end of tomorrow!

[Greirat]

Pardon the small post.
Couldn't think of anything else to post.

[DrBeansMD]

It's perfectly fine, Greirat! Post length will probably increase as the story progresses, but I'm not demanding more than a paragraph per character from anyone here.

This RP takes place at the very end of the Merethic Era, also called the Mythic Era. What follows is a short summary of where each of Tamriel's races stands at this time:

The Atmorans (Nords, and later Imperials) are the most prominent and widespread race in Skyrim, after having found victory not only over the Falmer, but the Dragons as well. Alduin the World Eater has been vanquished (or so they think) through the use of an Elder Scroll that sent him forward in time, and the remaining dragons have fled into the mountains unreachable by mortals.

The Falmer (Snow Elves) are scattered, most having taken sanctuary with the Dwemer, some having settled in Archer's Hollow, and a few have remained in The Forgotten Vale to guard the Chantry of Auri-El. Those remaining outside of these havens wander the wilderness, avoiding the Atmoran settlements for fear of being hunted down and slaughtered.

The Dwemer (Dwarves) still possess their great underground civilization, centered around their capitol of Blackreach. They have taken in the Falmer who agreed to their terms, which included being counted among the lowest social caste and ingesting toxic mushrooms. They are a race obsessed with science and technology, placing less priority on the worship of deities than others.

The Orsimer (Orcs) are a relatively new race to the world, having once been Altmer who followed Trinimac, one of the Aedra. After Trinimac was defeated by the Daedra Boethiah, his followers were disfigured into the Orsimer, now thickly built and green-skinned folk who made their nomadic home in the frozen wastelands to the north of Saarthal.

The Nedes (Bretons) were once a prominent race of men that lived throughout Skyrim before the Atmorans ever set foot on the northern shores, but were since reduced to minuscule numbers and primitive ways of life. They are described as half-man, half-elf mongrels that now live simple lives in small villages in High Rock, though they have only recently been discovered by the Atmorans.

The Altmer (High Elves) live mostly in the Summerset Isles, apart from the rest of the world. There they seek to preserve what divine powers they have, as the 'children of Auri-El'.

The Bosmer (Wood Elves) have broken off from the Altmer people to colonize the land of Valenwood. At the turning of the age, they will establish the Camoran Dynasty, setting forth the Green Pact in which they are bound never to harm any sort of plant life.

The Chimer (who would later become the Dunmer, or Dark Elves) lived in nomadic tribes in Morrowind, after being led there by the Daedra which they worship. Over time these tribes would become the Great Houses of Morrowind, which are still a prominent part of the political atmosphere in Morrowind by the time of the events of the game.

The Beastfolk (Khajiit and Argonians) are secluded in small, primitive villages in parts of Valenwood, Elsweyer, and Blackmarsh. Few know of their existence.

Spoiler

The short answer is yes. HOWEVER, any and all non-Falmer characters must be cleared by me via PM before their forms can be posted. A character that is not a Falmer needs to have a reason for being in the RP at all, which is why they must be approved before they are posted. There are some stipulations as to what race your character can be, which are explained in the "A Bit About History" tab above. The races you are able to select from include Falmer (Snow Elves), Dwemer (Dwarves), Atmorans (Later known as Nords), Orsimer (Orcs), and Nedes (Later known as Bretons).

Of course! We encourage shameless advertising in this RP, and if you want to stick this banner somewhere like your signature or your homepage or on another site or something, go right ahead! The code is provided right here:
