Spoiler:
The Fourth Era doesn’t start out the best. Vivec disappears, and The Ministry of Truth becomes unstable. Vuhon creates an ingenium. This takes the life out of prisoners or undesirables. Eventually they need to start using real people’s souls, people that are innocent.
Ilzheven was one of these souls. Sul, Ilzheven’s wife, became angry and started a revolt. Then ingenium crashes and all the energy’s impact causes Red Mountain’s volcano to erupt, destroying Vvardenfell, and many other cities in the rest of the province. We lost many dunmer during this crisis. The Black Marsh and Elsweyr secede from the empire. Everyone is taking advantage of Cyrodiil falling and it is becoming aware of it.
Everything is in uproar and this isn’t a good era. The Thalmor government rises again in Aldmeri Dominion, which consists of Valenwood and the Summerset Isle. The Argonians raid and takeover the molten remains of Morrowind. Titus Mede becomes the new emperor by conquest. Then in 4E 18, Prince Attrebus Mede is born. The Umbriel Crisis occurs, destroying Lilmoth, Black Marsh and seems to heading to Morrowind.
The High King of Skyrim is killed by Ulfric Stormcloak; this brings the Nords into a Civil War. Tamriel is in pieces. We don’t know what is happening in some provinces and some are long gone. New empires are beginning, and this one is coming to a dramatic ending.
Clans- These are the alliances in the beginning of this, they could change. Keep in mind what each faction and what each alliance wants as a result of this war, compromises can be made, but keep in mind that this is war, people want what they want for the most part. Once conflicts are resolved, and races are gone the wants of the alliances will change. This will cause more conflict. This will keep occurring until there is one alliance left in the game. IF there are enough people, it will be until there is one faction left in the game.

As you can see Tamriel is ending, and one race could save it for their own good. You can be that race. You get to be a leader of your own faction. The faction is in an alliance, and an alliance, and an alliance is made up of factions. If no one else signs up under your alliance, you control each faction under the alliance. If there are alliances with no one in them, I will take control of them. When you sign into this, I am going to need you to classify the information in this template; it is a very simple template:
Alliance:
Faction:
Race of leader: (must correspond to your faction and alliance)
Leader’s personality: (must correspond to your faction and alliance)
Once you complete that, read the following guidelines
1. I am very new at this. I have started one and it was really bad
• I am trying to redeem myself
2. I’m not asking you to be kind in war, but respect other players please.
3. The factions may be slightly inaccurate, but that is how they will stay.
4. The traditional “I am the controller of this game, mess with me and be punished
5. You can be anyone you want under your faction/alliance.
• The ruler, Warrior, Mage, Assassin, Scout, Archer
i. Switch as much as you want
6. Weapons available in this game (Ebony is for the Money advantaged only)
7. Be strategic, if your faction’s weakness is intelligence, you can’t be too strategic
• You can be extra strategic if intelligence is a weakness
8. Weapons and spells of allowed use, nothing else, armor would get complicated.
• Blades
i. Elven Long sword
ii. Ebony Long sword
iii. Elven Shorts word
iv. Ebony Shorts word
v. Elven Dagger
vi. Ebony Dagger
vii. Elven Claymore
viii. Ebony Claymore
• Blunts
i. Elven Mace
ii. Ebony Mace
iii. Elven Battle Axe
iv. Ebony Battle Axe
v. Elven War Hammer
vi. Ebony War Hammer
vii. Elven War Axe
viii. Ebony War Axe
• Bow and arrows
i. Elven Bow
ii. Ebony Bow
iii. Elven Arrow
iv. Ebony Arrow
• Magic
i. Searing Grasp
ii. Immolating Blast (Strengths in magic only)
9. War is hard to control. Here is what we are going to do about it.
• A battle starts when:
i. It is declared
ii. There is an assassination
iii. There is an invasion
• Only the above weapons are allowed, keep money in mind.
• The only transportation besides infantry is cavalry, keep money in mind
• When a battle is occurring the soldiers are divided by 10 references to troops in the guidelines are already divided.
• Before a war begins, you have options.
i. Assignment of troops. Type what race the troop is after before the assignment. You can make your troops
• Knights (uses blade)
• Crusaders (uses blunt)
• Bowmen (uses bow and arrows)
• Martial Artists (uses no weapons)
• Mages (uses spells)
ii. Write ‘horsemen’ if you want them to get horseback troops
iii. Placement of troops. (Ex: first line, second line…)
• First line holds: 200 tops (could go less)
a. Suggestion: Knights
• Second line holds: 100 tops (could go less)
a. Suggestion: Crusaders
• Third line holds: 50 tops (could go less)
a. Suggestion: Bowmen
• Fourth line holds: 25 tops (could go less)
a. Suggestion: Martial Artists
• Fifth line holds: 10 tops (could go less)
a. Suggestion: Mages
• Sixth line holds: 4 tops (could go less)
a. Suggestion: Faction leader
i. Faction leader doesn’t need to fight
• Seventh line holds: 1
a. Suggestion: Alliance leader
i. Alliance leader doesn’t need to fight
• Example: (using the alliances Bob and Fred)
i. A battle starts
• Fred says, “Bob, I don’t like you, I declare war”
• Bob says, “Okay, let’s set up, have a good day”
ii. Weapon selection
• Fred: Elven, Searing Grasp
• Bob: Ebony, Immolating Blast
iii. Warriors
• Fred: Has 2000, =200
• Bob: Has 4000, =400
iv. Assignment of troops
• Fred:
a. 100 Knights
b. 0 Crusaders
c. 25 Bowmen Horsemen
d. 25 Bowmen
e. 0 Martial Artists
f. 50 Mages
• Bob:
a. 200 Knights
b. 50 Crusaders
c. 50 Bowmen
d. 50 Martial Artists
e. 50 Mages
v. Placement of Troops
• Fred: “I don’t post this, yet, just write it down somewhere.”
a. First line: 50 Fredbert knights, 50 Fredbert Mages
b. Second line: 50 Freddy knights, 25 Fredub bowmen horsemen
c. Thrid line: 25 Fro-Fro bowmen
d. Fourth line: Fred’s faction leaders
e. Fifth Line: 4 Fred faction rulers, 1 Fredbert, 1 Freddy, 1 Fredub, 1 Fro-Fro
f. Sixth Line: Fred
• Bob: “I can’t let Fred see this until the battle.”
a. First line:200 Bobbert Knights
b. Second line: 50 Bobby Crusaders, 25 Bobby Mages, 25 Bobbert Mages, 50 Bo-Bo Bowmen
c. Third line: 50 Bonub Martial Artists
d. Fourth line: 4 Bob faction leaders one, Bobbert, one Bobby, one Bo-Bo, one Bonub
e. Fifth line: Bob
vi. The Battle
• How this works:
a. Bob and Fred pick a specific time to post their first line.
i. Fred: “First line post: 8:30 pm”
ii. Bob: “Alright, make sure it is exact”
b. Bob and Fred type their first line and wait for the computer clock to hit 8:30, or what is equivalent to the uesp time system
i. Fred: “BOB!!! My time zone is an hour slower!!!”
ii. Bob: “just post it an hour earlier than what is said
iii. Fred: “Phew, your smart, Bob”
• 8:30:
a. Bob: First line:200 Bobbert Knights
b. Fred: First line: 50 Fredbert knights, 50 Fredbert Mages
• I, imperialkhajiit will tell you the winner. If I am not on, here are some options. Keep in mind weapon and spell types, number of troops, mounts, races, faction strengths and weaknesses.
a. Agree on the winner and survivors
b. Ask for other players votes
c. Wait for me
• Let’s say Fred has a strength in magic and blades and Bob has a weakness in blades, but resistant to magic.
a. First Line winner: Fred, 5 Fredbert Knight survivors
• Then Bob would be on his second line and Fred would be finishing his first until Fred or Bob’s last line is gone or Fred or Bob surrenders
a. Surrendering will have the same affect as all of your people dieing except for the surviving troops (who you can only control if you are still alive)
i. The winner could use your troops as your own.
ii. The troops could become slaves
iii. They could be banished to go and live in a different place or alliance with another
10. You can do anything, so do anything.
11. Like I said earlier that this is war, not a state trade, do put some politics and strategy into it.
12. I am letting you alliance with any other alliance, make yourself to strong and karma will come back at you, or not.
13. To claim an unconquered place, stick your flag in the soil
14. If you have any questions put it under a spoiler or pm me.
15. If you didn’t understand something, or something wasn’t clarified, I am playing the rules on how I originally thought them. If you are confused, it is very important to ask me. I spent 3 days on it and it is very possible I messed up.
16. That’s it, have fun
