UESP Forums

I'd like to join.

1. Why did you choose/like Great House Redoran?
They are the hereditary defenders of Morrowind. They value honor and duty far more than the other Great Houses. They are a conservative class of warrior nobles and IMO, have the most balls out of all the factions.

2. Who is your favourite (in-game) councilor?
I would have to choose Serjo Athyn Sarethi. You have the closest relationship him. He is also a very reasonable character and seems to have the best intentions in mind for the Great House Redoran

3. If you could pick any office in the Redoran family, what would it be?
I would be content with any position. It is not my call.

4. What was your favourite quest for the House?
That's a hard question but I must say I enjoyed shutting down the Caldera Ebony Mines

5. Do you approve of Archmaster Venmin?
Bolvyn Venim? I did not agree some of his decisions but I do respect him as a Redoran and as an Archmaster. He also had the balls to duel to the death.

6. Is there anything special you do when playing a Redoran Character (roleplaying-wise)?
I try to avoid the killing of any Dunmer, as they are my people. I help Great House Redoran and Tribunal Temple members in any way possible and give my business only to services connected with these factions

7. What is your favourite Redoran related quote?
"A Redoran's duty is first to the Tribunal Temple, second to the Great House Redoran, and third to one's family and clan. In the Battle of Red Mountain, warriors of House Redoran died bravely for their duty to the Tribunal. By defending House Redoran from the schemes of Telvanni wizards and the lies of untrustworthy Hlaalu, the true noble shows duty to House Redoran. Following the Temple's guidelines of mercy and generosity show duty to one's family and clan." - The True Noble's Code

What do you think of the Morag Tong?
See below

Are you a supporter of the Tribunal Temple? Did you think they survived the Second Arnesian War?
Absolutely, I am currently Master of the Tribunal Temple. I'm not too familiar with even the original Arnesian War, I'm still learning the ES history and timeline. I'm sure they did though, as they are deeply rooted in Velothi culture.

Should Redoran militarily take back Caldera or attempt diplomacy with the damned imperial-pigs?
Diplomacy would be largely ineffective. It is in their best interest to hold on to Caldera as it lines their pockets. Great House Redoran should strengthen itself before driving the Imperials out of West Gash, then out of Morrowind.

Why did you chose to serve in the honorable House of Redoran and Veloth?
Same as above.

Do you support and serve in the pious Tribunal Temple?
Yes.

Shall we take Caldera by force, or by diplomacy?
Unrelenting force. It is on our rightful land.

Whom is your favorite Councilor? Do you feel hatred for Ald'Ruhn's fall or Pride that Redoran fell with honor in a battle against the Four Corners instead of submitting to them?
Serjo Athyn Sarethi. I haven't reach this point in the game, I'm only on Mission to Vivec on the main quest haha. It would be a mix of both feelings for sure, though.

Do you wish to put Hlaalu and Telvanni in their place with their illegal strongholds? Or shall we merely allow the Imperial Administration take care of them?
We must handle it ourselves. To turn to the Imperials for help would be accepting their authority and dominion over our way of life. They are not our rulers.

Do you believe in the Morag Tong's honor and use? Or are you against them?
I believe in them, in fact I am currently a Blind Thrall in their ranks. They are a native Dunmer establishment and therefore significant to our way of life.

Thanks, OblivionDuruza. Yes, if you're trying to avoid killing people in the game Calm spells and having a high sneak skills definitely help. If you don't mind me asking, what made you join Hlaalu?

So how does one go about joining the great house of Redoran and what would i have to do?

[roleplay intro]A young Dunmer man enters the Council House arrayed in enchanted Bonemold armor and wielding a steel mace at his side. He strides forward holding the severed head of another Dunmer, and kneels before the recruiter.

"My name is Seras Nethalen-Sul, born in the Ashlands and adopted by the Temple. This is the head one Serjo Velas Indoril Mora, a turncoat and traitor who helped to open several Oblivion Gates around Ald'Ruhn before the sack. I found him holed up in a cavern near the ruins of that city, guarded by undead and Daedra of his own summons. The fighting was harsh and I lost one of my friends, but we managed to break through the foul sorcerer's defenses and put him to death in the honorable Temple fashion. I meekly implore employment in your services, for my home and my master in the Temple were both destroyed during the fall of Ald'Ruhn and I am without a place to lay my head at night, or a master to serve. I have always been told and strongly believe Redoran represents the ultimate expression of all Dunmer manly virtues, including strength, honor and piety. I wish to offer my services in the martial arts and in the arts of healing and alchemy to this great institution, to help restore your honor and your holdings."

1. Why did you choose/like Great House Redoran? A kindly priest from Ald'Ruhn rescued me from a pack of Nix-hounds when I was very young, and raised me almost as his own son. He was a Temple priest as well as a member of Redoran. I never joined the House while he was alive but served the Temple faithfully as a war cleric/crusader. I helped tend to those afflicted by the Blight as best I could, and put several foul monsters and necromancers to the sword. I've always believed Redoran represents what is best about settled Dunmer culture. Their values and ideals closely match those of my Ashlander family, who were killed during an ash storm in my youth.

2. Who is your favourite (in-game) councilor? I'm very fond of serjo Athyn Sarethi. He's always been honest and fair minded to the citizens of Ald'Ruhn and to his underlings.

3. If you could pick any office in the Redoran family, what would it be?My meager talents would be put to their best uses on the field of battle or in assisting those in need of healing and spiritual guidance. I would do my best work as a simple Hireling, where I can practice my talents away from the confines of House politics and office work.

4. What was your favourite quest for the House? [ooc] the Mad Lord of Milk. I liked that the quest had several possible outcomes, and that the game didn't explicitly tell you how to get the "good ending". I also loved the quests to destroy the illegal strongholds of Hlaalu and Telvanni.

5. Do you approve of Archmaster Venmin? [ooc] Yes and no. He did great things in taking back ancient holdings on Vvardenfell and was a strong leader, but his closed-mindedness about Outlanders and his refusal to budge on the issue of the Nerevarine made me lose respect for him. I am deeply loyal to Redoran ideals, but the good of the Dunmer people is penultimate. The House leader must ultimately serve all the people, and if he falls from the path of wisdom he should be replaced.

6. Is there anything special you do when playing a Redoran Character (roleplaying-wise)? [ooc] Strive to be Lawful Good in all my dealings. Avoid deception, thievery, lying or too much reliance on dirty fighting tactics.

7. What is your favourite Redoran related quote? "The less said about the end of the battle, the better. Suffice it to say that Athyn, wielding a simple club, battered Andas to death without spilling a drop of blood."

Bonus Question: Have you tried PAX Redoran? If so, share a few of your thoughts on it. I haven't, no, but I'm interested in it now.

What do you think of the Morag Tong? By ancient tradition they enact the noble Mephalic acts of House Warfare by the legally and spiritually approved methods. I do not personally employ their tactics of killing but I respect their traditions and legal status.

Are you a supporter of the Tribunal Temple? Did you think they survived the Second Arnesian War? I was raised by a Temple priest and have served them faithfully. While they nor any organization are perfect, as was seen by the persecution of the Incarnate, I believe they mean well and do much good in the lands. I think the Temple is an immortal part of Dunmer culture, and as long as any Dunmer draws breath the teachings of the Temple will survive.

Should Redoran militarily take back Caldera or attempt diplomacy with the damned imperial-pigs? I am a war-priest. I see the value in diplomacy over strength of arms, but I will not hesitate to take up arms against the Imperials if need be. Simply give my my orders and I will perform to the best of my abilities with the resources afforded to me and the time given.

Why did you chose to serve in the honorable House of Redoran and Veloth? I am eternally grateful to the kindness shown to me in my youth. I will not forget that, and I strive to serve those I consider to be the most true and noble Dunmer.

Do you support and serve in the pious Tribunal Temple? For both the memory of my master and the good of the Dunmer people, yes. I will put witches, necromancers and summoners to the sword. I will heal the afflicted and offer comforting words to the misguided.

Shall we take Caldera by force, or by diplomacy? In my humble opinion, diplomacy should always be the first option, but we should prepare for bloody war.

Whom is your favorite Councilor? Do you feel hatred for Ald'Ruhn's fall or Pride that Redoran fell with honor in a battle against the Four Corners instead of submitting to them? Sarethi is a noble and likeable man. I feel great pride but also sorrow, and a desire for revenge. I've already hunted down one of the Mythic Dawn survivors to show my support.

Do you wish to put Hlaalu and Telvanni in their place with their illegal strongholds? Or shall we merely allow the Imperial Administration take care of them? The Empire is weakening. They don't serve our best interests in my opinion. They don't honor our ways. We should not rely too much on their ability or willingness to help us. We should prepare for battle.

Do you believe in the Morag Tong's honor and use? Or are you against them? I support the ancient traditions of the Morag Tong, and feel they should be used in the upcoming conflicts.

Thank you oblivionduraza Im humbled to be accepted into the great house of Redoran duty and honor to the dunmer!

The RP is starting soon! We want as many people from the Great Houses to join! Even House Dagoth! Duruza, I may need those maps! Check the Hlaalu thread for more info!

My body is ready.

Okay, I'd like to join.

1. Why did you choose/like Great House Redoran?
They represent the warrior's code, as no others can: honor in battle, wisdom in peace, and glory in death.

2. Who is your favourite (in-game) councilor?
Hlaren Ramoran

3. If you could pick any office in the Redoran family, what would it be?
Umm. I don't quite understand the question.

4. What was your favourite quest for the House?
The Mad Lord of Milk

5. Do you approve of Archmaster Venmin?
He is backwards, and, though fairly competent, there are others more worthy.

6. Is there anything special you do when playing a Redoran Character (roleplaying-wise)?
Above all, follow the Warrior's Code.

7. What is your favourite Redoran related quote?
I don't really have one.

Bonus Question: Have you tried PAX Redoran? If so, share a few of your thoughts on it.
No. What is it?

8. What do you think of the Morag Tong?
They are a necessary evil, but not to be associated with. As long as they do not stray from the path of honorable assassination, they shall be tolerated.

9. Are you a supporter of the Tribunal Temple? Did you think they survived the Second Arnesian War?
I support Vivec, and Vivec alone, for he only embodies the Warrior's Code. The others are but back-stabbing Chimer befuddled with immortality.

10. Should Redoran militarily take back Caldera or attempt diplomacy with the damned imperial-pigs?
Force should be used, but no more than necessary.

11. Why did you chose to serve in the honorable House of Redoran and Veloth?
They represent the warrior's code, as no others can: honor in battle, wisdom in peace, and glory in death.

12. Do you support and serve in the pious Tribunal Temple?
I support Vivec, and Vivec alone, for he only embodies the Warrior's Code. In his name I bow. The others are but back-stabbing Chimer befuddled with immortality.

13. Shall we take Caldera by force, or by diplomacy?
Force should be used, but no more than necessary.

14. Whom is your favorite Councilor? Do you feel hatred for Ald'Ruhn's fall or Pride that Redoran fell with honor in a battle against the Four Corners instead of submitting to them?
Hlaren Ramoran. I am proud that my Redoran brothers stood strong against the House of Troubles.

15. Do you wish to put Hlaalu and Telvanni in their place with their illegal strongholds? Or shall we merely allow the Imperial Administration take care of them?
The Redoran should show their might by reminding the other houses who are the strongest.

16. Do you believe in the Morag Tong's honor and use? Or are you against them?
They are a necessary evil, but not to be associated with. As long as they do not stray from the path of honorable assassination, they shall be tolerated.

Thanks, Duruza.

I'm mostly interested in the RPs.

It's going to be fun.

(When exactly in the timeline does this RP thing take place? I was under the impression it's post-Oblivion but before Red Year, but Dagoth seems to be around, and Indoril is still strong. Does it follow an alternate timeline? In any event, my character has been busy cleansing tombs and the like while awaiting orders.)

Guess it's time for me to write this: I'd like to apply for membership in Great House Redoran. I'll hardly be very active, I seem to be in a state of between games right now, but comes the time, comes the place and, not the least, comes the challenge and opportunity - not to forget the inspiration, that's truly the air I breathe.

Yours truly.

Duru - so now you're my Secretary?

But yes, any who is honorable and for peoples' power is acceptable by my standards of House Redoran personnel.
