whats a tsaesci?

indeed some background would be good.... I have given descript of the sylphs to all.

well, i think he's off now, he mentioned in a pm he may have to leave rather abruptly...

Does anybody read the imperial library anymore?

Tsaeci are the Akaviri race that invaded Tamriel many times in the past. Akavir is a very oriental styled Continent and the ruling race there are the snake people, the Tsaeci. Katanas, Shurikens, everything that seems oriental in make is a remnant of Tsaeci culture that they brought with them during their invasions. Sometime in the 2nd era or maybe the 3rd all Tsaeci still within Tamriel were booted off. Moldair is a race from Akavir that the Tsaeci have, I believe, enslaved.

Want to know more about it? Head to the TIL and read about Akavir, there's a whole page dedicated to it.

I talked to him about this, and just a reminder that if you're planning on inventing any new races talk to me, as I am well phrased in the TIL. Sylphs work because no one knows a damned thing about what lurks under the sea besides rumor of were-sharks and Dreugh societies. Walking races though, that's a bit tougher.

Furthermore, Florodine, as I recall people suggested I take over after stomache ache left, and when he came back he thought about running it again but the RP was a little too disorienting so he told me to continue. So, here's the verdict on Solstheim.

Research the characters you use. Look up FAQs on Gamefaqs about solstheim and search for information about quests that show the names of the skaal leaders in case you forgot them. Those guys are still in charge. If you are planning on doing a little revolt on Solstheim, it would make a nice sub-plot as a break to all this political turmoil.

When we do it, don't start yourself and do it in a day, we can do it together, and different people who want to partake in the subplot can play abandoned legionnaires running the fort, citizens of Raven Rock, etcetera...

yeah that sounds good to me. Im going to say the leader of the skaal died of age i mean he was very old. The chiefs heir (me) will take the cheifship of the skaal, and since the empire pulled out of solsteim he uses this as a chance to retake the entire island. also there needs to be the leader of thirsk. It may be a small place in the game. but were it real like viking and gaulic mead halls were, thered be up to 75 nord warriors, and of course the woman of the tribe unlike in the game would live in homes right outside of there. so you have a tribe to rival the skaal. Then you have the factor of the EETC. He/she could be anyone cause the old factor is now gone. So we just have to say whoever claims the job is the one who killed him. Then someone could be the leader of the fort. Again it could be anyone cause the old leader carias (sp?) would be taken back to cyrodill and then to morrowind


so thats the gist of solsteim anybody have any other ideas

*Silhouette with a capital is my silhouette leader *silhouettes with lowercase are just regulars

Well the the reason the Tsaeci enslaved them is because the Tsaeci were'nt as powerful. The moldair were superior but teribly outnumbered. So the tsaeci enslaved them. The silhouettes are moldair mages who usually end up being the chiefs as well. The moldair are black skinned and not like african but pitch black. The silhouettes are almost shadowy they are black but dont seem to have a physical shape. Of course they do but it sometimes confuses people who try to hit them cause they leave an after image when they move due to their shadow skin. The Silhouette was the most powerful among them and with fifty moldair and four other silhouettes he sailed across on a stolen Tsaeci ship. Of course the Tsaeci just thought it was another ship in their invasion fleet. Once in morrowind on vvardenfell the silhouettes all went to seperate daedric shrines. They all lived on the telvanni lands and were quite accostomed to the sea for that was their source of food. not fish but ships that went of course which offered sailors for a feast. Then years ago a great necromancer, Miran, enlisted the silhouettes and the moldair. That is who people are fighting now.

sounds good to me ^ ^.

Everthing but the Solstheim part is good to me. Solstheim looks more like it could be the great last bulk of the Imperials. Congrgated in raven rock and fort Frostmoth.

The Skaal are peaceful, nature loving folk, they've had the whole island the whole time except those lands the Imperials occupy, and they don't object so long as the imperial respect the land. Thirsk is just a bunch of drunkards who are skaal-outcasts.

As for the whole, women thing with Thrisk, you do remeber Women are more or less equal with men in TES, right? Why would they be outside? Besides, Thirsk is thirsk, not a gaulic mead hall. Despite the glaring similarities.

the solsteim part is fine. The skaal maybe peacful but they are still people of tamirel or of any place. That can change. You cant just say because in the time of bloodmoon they were peacful so they are always that way. It is through their love of nature that the new leader starts a war. Many of the troops in solsteim would be pulled out to fight, and thirsk i know isnt the same but they have chiefs and warriors so they are still a faction

actually you could turn that around. Instead of the skaal being the attackers it could be the renegade legions. They start looting everything of value in the ancient ruins of solsteim and this angers the skaal. Then the legions and skaal argue and a war starts.


here are the major things people could be in solsteim


Skaal chieftain
Factor of the EETC
Leader of the legions
Chief of Thirsk
Reaver Chief (They are raiders after all i think this would be a good sub-plot)
Various adventurers
Werewolf
Travelers

The soldiers causing a ruckuss sounds good. But Werewolf is more a state of being than Faaction.The inherent Werewolves of Solstheim are all nuts, and theres only 9 of them. No use to even another *sane* Werewolf.

yeah i guess the werewolf idea isnt good. So you think the legions who are leaderless is a good idea for fighting the skaal?

Here's what I think,

The Legion did not leave Solstheim after the Legionnaires were kicked out of Vvardenfel. Raven Rock and Fort Frostmoth (I think it was called) remained intact. Trade in the port town that delivered to Solstheim mostly continued but changed hands. The EETC was kicked out of Solstheim earlier and it became Raven Rock became a Sovereign nation. The Factor wasn't killed, he just left and gave his position away to whoever plays that role.

The Skaal wouldn't know that the Legion has been abandoned. Legionnaires are also not thugs, and in this story they would mostly be struggling for survival. Keep thinking.

Well my idea is possible and realistic the legionairres if abandoned would most likely turn like that. Througout history when leadership is lost in the army they turn to looting. I dont get what you are saying. Do you mean that solsteim is just staying in tact or what?

That's not the same thing. Frostmoth still has a leader. They're still a well maintained Imperial Fort. There's no change at all, exacept now they dpn't get orders from the Mainland, which was a rare occurrence anyway.

But im just saying its possible that carius was taken back to lead a troop in morrowind. I dont see why not. We dont have to keep him, and i have a valid explanation why hes not there. So what exactly is raven's rock going to be?

Who is Carius?

he's the leader of the fort

but doomed do i have the ok to have a character on solsteim? shogun already does i believe

By leader of the fort are you talking about the Legionnaire in charge of the Fort or the guy that's head of the East Empire Company?

actually i never got permission, but i wanted to throw him in anyway.

i'll make a character thread post soon enough

the leader of the fort. The leader of the EETC is called the factor. But i just want to ask is it ok if we add solsteim?

Well it's already there but I'm hesitant to allow you to play the leader of the Skaal.

why? im a good RPer im not going to just lead the skaal to battle if thats what you think. I just want to have that character cause i like the skaal

Legionaire in charge of fort = Captain Carius

(Former) Factor = Carnius Maguis or something like that.

Oh, and ShgonSniper, that last post of mine was a nudge to inform Lykaon that you're not gonna kill Megil.

yes, he may be dissapointed, unfortunately i don't believe i have the time to make a post now, i have a soccer game, then a party at applebees then i'm going to demo the 360 at wal-mart

This is gonna be hilarious, Miles is about to raid Zergonipal!

Partly disapointed and relieved. The disapointed part lies mainly in not getting a fun fight and a assload of cash, the Relief comes from not ending as one of New Vviec's Most Wanted Criminals.

The prevailing emotion would probabaly be annoyance at being left to idle for so long like that.

Sorry I was gone but what happened sunday? I was off doing stuff....

I think this RP seriously needs more female members, and I don't mean Males role playing female characters.

I'm thinking of inviting some W4O members to join the RP . . .if that's okay with the operators of this RP.

Anyway, onto Shogun's question . . .well I don't really know. I wasn't on here much on Sunday either. I suppose stuff got the better of both of us, didn't it.

Well I don´t think that´s the real problem.....we haven´t had that luck before with enrolling females.....and the Arcyakt-thingy went well I think.....too many participants will just confuse it even more.....

soulseeker's question, not mine. and i would like to see more female members in the rp. we have what, one?

and 3 female characters (i think)

yeah Gamer that was my question but it doesn't matter

I forgot which day was Sunday. I read almost every post anyway.

Oh I remember, Megil and Isaarin started arguing law after Endris beat Isaarin up and the Silhouette came in and attacked them.

What would the point of more female members be? If they wanna join, let them, there RP seems the same as a male's. No need to go asking people. *shrug*

This....dear Aki ..is a very sensible opinion..which I support to 100%

can someone tell me what happened to molag mar

Hey doomed; did you ever reply with En'fel? I haven't been here as much as I would like, so I've been a bit behind.

Yeah twice, the first time he said, 'Don't bother when the coast is as clear as it will be just leave a single candle outside the door" and he left. The second one was a prompt of him waiting outside the tower for his queu.

okies; will reply soon.

Channler, are Sel and Falx still in the room with that letter?

I don't even know how long I've been away.

Two things:

1. Shogun, post!

2. Is it me, or did Melkaan seem a bit too....cowardly for a great and powerful wizard? Wouldn't he have like, thrown a fireball or something?

He's not that great and powerful a wizard. All these politicians are cowards at heart. I was debating over having him fight back but decided against it.

mhmm *ahem* I still see it post, new vivec does not have cantons . Also please stop demolishing my city. fights are all nice and good, but they do not need to involve collapsing buildings everytime. I assure you the construction of new vivec is quite stable despite it's decorous nature, so no more meager fireballs smashing 20'x20' holes in my walls. mmmkay, That's all . Thank you.

Failure to abide by these rules will lead to much rule breaking by unauthorized character torture, dismemberment and/or execution.

Yay....way to go Megil! I definitely agree on that!....So what do you say about if Serene and her family comes to you..looking for shelter since that gamer-dude set fire on their home in Ald´ruhn?

I have no problem with that minque. Though it seems that doomed and florodine have it in for vivec. Hope they won't mind fighting if the time comes.

Also Ordinators are undergoing extreme training so they will no longer be easily killed. thanks, and the new section of defense has yet to be revealed .

Good! If wolfie agrees to it we´ll come....see I´ll go away for a couple of days next week so i´ll need somewhere to put Serene in the meantime! And wolfi could let Jonacin do something in vivec....if he doesn´t prefer zergonipal that is....

I don't have it in for vivec, I suggested Maar Gan. I guess Miran just hates Vivec.

Well, name the damn floating flat chunks of stone that the sections of New Vivec are on then!

Until you name them, they're Cantons to me.


Well, you do kinda have to have skill to rise in rank in House Telvanni. I figured he'd try something afterall. Everyone knows Telvanni kill for rank. And that if they get away with it, other Telvanni see it as just..etc.

Guess Raavin will have to be one of the few politicians with some courage.

Who says Isaarin doesn't have courage just because he chooses not to fight people since all these character are super-gods and he's just a normal dunmer?

I fixed that; Melkaan rose to power by killing Neloth, and Amili helped as a supporter; apparently she was decieved by Melkaan. All politicians have silver tongues. (except for the ones the get nowhere)

Yeah, I always sort of thought what gave Melkaan his power was the Pyromage and his fame of being a Uvirith. Never saw it as much of him being a great and power mage as much as him just being good at picking his allies.

Doomed, way back in Playground 10 my character charged at your scout, who has yet to react.
