[OOC] The Elder Scrolls: Rising Storm

[ButtsnBalls]

Alright people, some updates on our AFKs.

Sandman will be removed from Orsinium, Hlaalu and Skyrim rebels if he doesn't respond in 2 days. His factions will proceed like this.

- 2000+ Orc berserkers will massacre Dragon Gate and several surrounding villages, during the night between the 10th and 11th.
- Hlaalu will be forced to cut back on their operations in Cheydinhal due to unforeseen overhead costs.
- The Falkreath rebellion's fate will be decided by the new Skyrim player.

Prince Potter has personal matters to attend to, Alinor will be under his control for at least one more week. Altmer matters will be handled as below.

- Blood moon will continue until the 10th.
- Blockade of Stros M'Kai will be reduced by 1/3 due to strains on the Dominion Navy.
- Alinor ground forces continue to prepare and mobilize on Summerset Isles, no overt foreign actions.

Orc berserkers would be something like this?





Excellent gives me something to do, more importantly, it gives me something violent to do.

Fun fact, maormer ships are not all in fact made of chitin, they seem to use wood like everyone else, the one the wolf queen saw was in fact a captured and reused Morrowind ship... o.o

Who knew!

It was news to me, but ESO has been a major eye opener in allot of the lore yet uncovered in the other games for the sea elves. It may be 1000+ years ago, but it's the only game we're you actually interact with the Sea elves. Now why the chitin ships did not look exotic to the wolf queen makes so much more sense....and makes the sea elves seem much less alien... (the only mer it seems who use chitin for everything from cloths to armor (and apparently ships) are the Dunmer anyway. :K)

In other news, I've learned, the Nords have a powerful seafaring culture as formidable as the vikings their obviously based off of, (which leaves bretons as the only ones lacking a seafaring culture among the races of men. :P)

Redguard's apparently have sand/air benders, (or the TES equivalent anyway), and the Bosmer by and large stopped practicing the meat mandate by the time of ESO, with only the most savage clans still upholding it. (I can imagine it is almost phased out entirely by the events of Skyrim. Makes their conquest seem more sensible now)

Daggerfall was a settlement created by the Nords in their raids on the Dirennis, IIRC. Since Bretons are related to Nords and the Direnni Altmer clan, I would think they'd have merchant fleets and a knowledge of sailing. I wouldn't discount the Bretons from being fuck-all boring because some game where Colonel Sanders makes Molag Bal- who apparently steals the title of Prince of Plots from Boethiah- a boss fight and Elder Scrolls are power-ups now. Before you ask, yes, I still dislike Schick and everything he touches.

[GreivousKhan]

All I know is with all these mer vanishing Orgnum dream of conquest on Tamriel have once again gone up in smoke. Not that there was much a chance before in any case. :K

Also it's never a good sign when your on the the chatroom for a RP more then the Gm himself. XD

Edit: also the ship/seafaring thing hardly matters in the long run, most of Tam uses the same type of ships anyway.

Hey, I'm very busy looking at all these cats on the internet. I mean, just when you think you've seen the last one, there's another one. Watching pet fox videos too, and these wolves bred in captivity acting like big dogs that could kill you at a moment's notice? Don't eve get me started. Well, that and every single one of the RPs I'm in is stalling.

Give the poor guy a break, he gets enough hate from MK cult already.

My Lifu is getting most my attention, assuming the same for most of us here.

Well, I don't hate -him.- I hate what he -does.-

And he's just doing his job, not matter what decisions a game developer makes, they are bound to have negative opinions.

They have enough to deal with already, and can't satisfy everybody. Heck, some of them even received death threats.

948*

Only one thing I said there was from ESO. :P

Though as much as everyone hates it, it's quite real. Though it does have a large amount of plot holes. Mostly in the term of the alliances. Worse idea ever imo.

I think they might throw in a dragon break though, it would be a good idea if they did, that way events that take place in ESO can be very different from what happened in the original historical lore sequence.

Also who or what is lifu?

To be honest, Bethesda probably won't even care. Something that happened 948 years ago wouldn't mean anything to TES6.

Its a difficult concept for some to understand.

Bethesda has outright stated that, to them, ESO is not canon.

Zenimax and their obvious cash grabs.

Also that seems to conflict with what I have heard.

Sandman's been afk for a month now, he is no longer part of this RP and his nation is now re-opened.

Guys, we need some people to replace the dropouts. Talk to your friends and get them on-board, we have Valenwood and Orsinium open right now.

Not to sound like an asshole but doing that is like using Harry Potter's words to prove that Hogwarts is real. Zenimax =/= Bethesda. Todd Howard has said that ESO is completely unrelated to the single-player series. This arguably means that as far as Daggerfall onwards is concerned, Zenimax's fanfiction isn't canon and will not be referenced.

Anyways, as far as this very RP goes, we do need some people to take over for some nations. Spread the word, please.

'Shcuze meh, but I would like to join this roleplay, and I see that the, ah, culturally advanced nomad-nation of Orcs are currently land-less. May I join and play as the Orcs? I know little of their actual culture [I was always more focused on collecting Dwemer artefacts and finding Words of Power], but I have a more... battle-lust tendency. Although I think I will have to gradually change the Orcs' society. Can't stand up to an army if everyone are just separate tribes, now can we?
