Bah, the Empire, they abandoned the Redguards to fight the entire Aldmeri Dominion by ourselves! And we still won! Bounce of milk drinkers. Surprised anyone still wants to follow that banner.

Indeed, Titus Mede was an idiot, The irony is it's implied the Aldmeri were in as bad a state as the Empire by the end, and it was only Medes terrible negotiating skills that messed it all up. I mean, who the hell would give Hammerfell, home of some of the finest swordsmen in Tamriel, away in the worlds worst treaty? They even wanted to remain part of the Empire, it wasn't like he was getting rid of a trouble state by tossing it to his enemies in spite xD
Then he agreed to ban Talos worship, so pissed off the Nords, the Temples, his own Imperials and... well, pretty much anyone who likes the Nine
Insult to injury, he lets the Thalmor strut around like they own the place.

Honestly, I'm surprised no one just walked in, slashed his throat and claimed the throne. The Mede's did it, Tiber Septim pretty much declared himself emperor after going around murdering people etc. It's not like there is a race requirement.

So, basically, Mede is an idiot. A brave, honourable idiot who I had respect for when I shoved my blade through him, but an idiot none the less. Not that I regret it though! With him dead, someone with brains can take the throne, shove a sword up the High Elves arse, shove a sword up Ulfrics arse and shove a sword up anyone who doesn't join the Empires arse... Say my Dragonborn xD

Have to respect Motierre for at least having the initiative to knock the guy off, even if Motierre is a nasty piece of power hungry scum

To bad the Redguards don't just see it as a Medus blunder. Though a show weakness like that made them lose all respect for him and the empire. And it took years for them to win any respect from the Redguards. It took the siege of Orsinium before the Redguard even bothered to trade or ally with the orcs and Bretons.

Indeed, the proud Triarius family isn't too happy about having to play apologetic for all Mede's massive blunders.

Level of private slander of Mede: It's over nine thousaaaaaaaaaaaand!

As a side note and something of a personal note, despite the imperials trying to lop off my head at the beginning of the game and all the other ridiculous blunders of history, I always side with the Imperial Legion and the Empire, and just hope whoever replaces Mede has enough brains to make it so we don't have to put up with more Elven supremacists or Nordic Racists in TES VI. The Empire was always more cosmopolitan than either of those and the Dark Elves (Did anyone else see the poetic justice in the racism against them? Despite that I still found it unacceptable...) I tried to side with the Stormcloaks once, but I found myself defecting to the Empire during the Jagged Crown. The Stormcloaks just felt massively racist, hypocritical etc. The minute I read the dossier on Ulfric I lost the small amounts of respect I had for him
And the Aldmeri dominion? "HEIL ALTMER!!"
Gods no. xD

-Nation name: SKyrim-History (focus on the years 4E 201 to 205, anything before that is pr-established canon): The Dragonborn, Giles, is a Breton who found himself in the civil war between the Storm Cloaks and the Imperials. He ended up infiltrating the Dark Brotherhood, joining the Stormcloaks, assassinating Jarl Ulfric and defecting to the Empire, where he assassinated General Tulius. He then wiped out the Dark Brotherhood and took the mantle of Skyrim's High King, and managed to diplomatically solve the situation in the Civil War with liberal use of the various factions, influence from the Grey Beards,, and others. He defeated Alduin, Harken and Miraak, and returned to Skyrim as it's High King. He even managed to make friends and establish warm relations with the savage Forsworn. : Monarchy. King Giles rules everything through the other Jarls. -(you can change this throughout the RP) -: -, the guards throughout the Holds of Skyrim, the Mages College of Winterhold, the various, former Storm Cloaks, the Orcish Strongholds, and even the Forsworn gladly hold ranks in the army of Skyrim. With the Empire driven out by key assassinations and inability to hold a stable foothold in the region, they were inevitably kicked out, but not entirely by the Dragonborn. The Vigilants of Stendar were re-established by the Dragonborn and although their first duty is to Stendar and the Vigilants, they will answer the call to aid Skyrim.Mercenaries of all other races formally not even allowed in Skyrim's cities and towns are now wandering the streets as guards and sell-swords.. The Culture is mostly Nord, with the racially accepting Breton Dragonborn of legend changing the attitudes of the local peoples towards other races. The races are still mostly segregated but the Breton Dragonborn's deeds has changed Skyrim for the better. Talos worship is re-instated, officially, and the Thalmor Judiciars were wiped out to the last man from Skyrim.

What happened to Elisif?... Is she Giles wife? Did she disappear? Did she die??? Seriously, what happened???

If I get anything wrong, I apologize. And help me by giving me the correct info. And i had no clue what to write for their culture and society _-_
-Nation name: Black Marsh
-History (focus on the years 4E 201 to 205, anything before that is pr-established canon): Black Marsh has been able to remain independent while some of the provinces like Valenwood have been under the Aldermeri Dominion's thumb since the Great War. Beem-Teeus and Aney-Mei currently rule Black Marsh while making sure that they are well informed about the recent war and rumors of someone summoning the undead.
-Leadership (type of government, leader, political agenda): Monarchy, with Beem-Teeus as the current king.
-Allegiance: None at the moment
-Military: The Shadowscales and An-Xileel
-Culture/society: Not much is known since the beginning of the fourth era, but it is suggested that they have an organized government. Their culture centers around the Hist with Sithis being considered the creator. Argonians do not share much about their culture with non-citizens of Black Marsh except for things like how someone would propose to a lover with a unique wedding band.

[GreivousKhan]

I think most people who have played Elder Scrolls more or less know the cultures/societies of the races. At least in Tamrial, not so sure about the east.

[darkwolf687]

"Elsweyr and Valenwood have been under the Aldmeri dominions thumb since the great war" Elsweyr escaped the grasp of the Dominion around 4E 203-204 and inside the Empire instead, just to clear that up. The intro post just hasn't been updated yet

And the Culture/society thing for the Argonians must be a nightmare, they are so secretive we don't know much at all lol, so I wouldn't worry about that one

[TheRogueRose]

Crap, i didn't realize about Elsweyr. I'll go ahead and fix it.

So much for the cats thanking the high elves for returning the moons to them and worshiping them like gods.

[darkwolf687]

I didn't think it helped much that the high elves killed The Mane xD

[ButtsnBalls]

According to lore, the cats are actually pretty divided on their loyalty. Some look to the elves, some follow the empire, some are subjects of the Mane, while others just go where skooma is.

[darkwolf687]

And there are like 17 different types... Enough to give a casual tourist a headache, that's for sure xD
