I haven't read the last one, probably should get it now.

Awesome, like i said though Im not sure when I will put it up, but will let you know when Im ready to,but in the mean time Ill work on the story and such.

I'll get the RP up possibly later today.

[&@%!]! [&@%!]! [&@%!]! I spent ages making the OP but then I logged out and I lost it all! Why! Why!

And this is why you write it out neatly in Word or Notepad first.

It's ready!

Hey guys, I was just thinking, if I managed to flesh it out enough, would anyone join in on a Elder Scrolls RP set in the First Era, with races like the Dwemer, Chimer, Ayleids, Nedes, Falmer and so forth, obviously there would be more races than that but you get the idea?

Maybe round about the time of the Alessian uprising, or a bit later so that there is a sort of cold war between the Imperials and the remaining Ayleids. But if it were to include all of the races I mentioned it would have to be a Tamriel wide event.

I did consider the Cyrodill-Direnni Wars as well, as it would allow involvement of the many other Nedic races (I was thinking of including the Kothringi, but not many people can be them as from what sources i've read they were very sparsely spread throughout Black Marsh). But if i'm doing the wars which focus mostly on Cyrodiilic-Ayleid/Altmer conflict, how am I supposed to be able to involve the other races at the time such as the Dwemer and the likes. Although if I did the Cyrodiil-Direnni wars that would take up most of northern Tamreil, and the RP doens't specifically have to about it just set in that time, I just have to think of how an adventure could form.

I was kind of thinking players could just choose the Dwemer race, as the Dwemer were around at that time, and Dwemer could easily leave the comfort of their cities to adventure. At the time of the Alessian empire started warring with the Direnni, wasn't the Alessian Empire protruding a bit into Hammerfell as well? As well as that wasn't Skyrim on the High Rock/Hammerfell side of the Dragontail Mountains?

I like the artifact idea as well, i'll have to try and think of something intelligent and original.

I might join that RP Ashlander.

I'm onto something good, I might be able to get it started some time in the coming week, i've got a reasonable map started, I have a good idea of the races involved, the kingdoms at the time and a skeleton to the main story.

I could be more up to date on my first era lore mind you.

Most of the things you need to know about the First Era should be posted in the OP, or eventually posted in the actual RP.

Sorry for the double post, but that is the concept for the First Era RP, and by concept I refuse to adapt it as it took me 3 hours to make it, so I shall just forcifully explain anything...yeah explain...

By the orange un-named one is the last Ayleid kingdom that is left standing by political maneouviring, if I remember it is called Kingdom of Nenalata.

Excactly which races would we be able to play as? I'm pretty interested in joining this so i'll start to build a basic character soon.

Well, i'll be starting this RP tomorrow if everything goes right for me, and then I will lay out the character sheet and so forth, but for previews sake I think I will make the races like so (bear in mind this is the first era, there is a lot of disdain between Mer and Nedes):

Nedic Peoples:
Imperials (Homeland: Alessian Empire)
Nords (Homeland: Skyrim)
Bretons (Homeland: Direnni Hegemony)
Kothringi (Homeland: Black Marsh, visit the UESP site if you are not learned on this race)

Mer Peoples:
Altmer (Homeland: Summerset Isles, Direnni Hegemony)
Ayleids (Homeland: Kingdom of Nenalata (that one in Cyrodiil that is orange))
Chimer (Homeland: Resdayn (these were the Dunmer before they were corrupted, look up Almalexia on UESP or Morrowind and that is what Chimer look like))
Dwemer (Homeland: Resdayn, Volenfell (from the creature Dwemer ghost in Morrowind, Dwemer look like Altmer that have darker skin and have beards but I dont think every Dwemer wouldve had one))
Bosmer (Homeland: Valenwood)
Orsimer (Homeland: Orsinium (A state in the Wrothgarian Mountains in the Direnni Hegemony))
Falmer (Homeland: Various Dwemer cities (They are not yet corrupted by the Dwemer, thus I imagine they are like Almter, but have much pale skin due to living in the harsh north))

Beast Folk:
Argonians (Homeland: Black Marsh)
Khajiit (Homeland: Elsweyr)
Imga (Homeland: Valenwood (upright Gorillas))

There ain't any Redguards?

Redguards didn't sail east until 1E 792, maybe it is set before that.

I just looked up the Imga, they seem funny.

Yes it is, although the Alessian Empire and the Dwemer occupy eastern Volenfall, wester Volenfall are a notorious badlands filled with bandits, marauders and smugglers.

And yes when I create this I wonder if many will choose to make an Imga?

I don't know. I think I would be one, maybe. I just imagine myself gaggin whenever I come in contact with a human.
