The Elder Scrolls: Rising Storm

Suddenly Emperor Gaius Triarius the First hopes of a united empire fell on his face and took a dump on it.

A realistic fantasy roleplay

Stats are a good concrete measurement of objectivity. Why are people so opposed to them?

Generally a post by post RP has no real place for hard math for units like that. It can be done but it get's really gamey quickly.

I doubt the Dark Elves would take sides on the current conflicts, since they are currently rebuilding under the Nerevarine's rule. Also, the Empire left Morrowind to fend for itself during the Oblivion Crisis, so if they'd seek their support, it would most likely be turned down. Unless of course, an agreement can be settled between the two factions. I can't say the agreement wouldn't be one sided though.

Ya and the fact they did nothing when the argonians butt assaulted morrowind, it seems the Empire will not likely get their support they want, maybe high rock if they can get they can get the bretons shit together. Hammerfell for one still remembers the Empires outright betrayal all to well, and while there are a few supporters who want to see Hammerfell join the Imperial fold. A vast majority, Temijen included want nothing to do with them. It's going to be a happy sunshine day in Oblivion before they aid the Empire.

no read my cs we are traders so we have trade with the high elves, but we are allies with elswyer. tension between us and the high elves are strained and anything could tip the balance. we do whatever we can to avoid conflict so we use the money we earn from trading to get our allies of elwyer and morrowind to have powerful friends so we wouldn't have to worry about a open war

Ya, that's kind of what I was asking, why are relations strained? o.o

Mibbit: The green pact would seem to make Valenwood a poor province for becoming a mercantile nation, can't trade grains or foodstuffs, they live need all their cattle and live stalk, lumber is out of the question, and Skyrim arguably has better furs.

except my bosmer are pacifists we don't like to go to open war for the obvious reasons under our green pact, we will defend our forests to the very death but open conflict is generally avoided

So is Valenwood no longer part of the Dominion?

You lot can make up whatever you want in terms of soldiers from the Angar-Rylla’s side. After a post or two we can head to the Crucible and the next segment of this long ass story arch.

See, this is way Angar-Rylla needs more people in it. :K

Rarenrar eyed the strange automaton and considered his request. Though he knew nothing of this construct, they could rather use allies then enemies.

"Fine, we need to buy time to gate the tower, if the Angar-Rylla have found us, they have come in force. We have no choice but to us the Mystans coordinates to travel to the Crucible. I would explain more but-" another strike hit the tower to cause it to shake again. v struggled to maintain his footing, once the shudder passed he continued. “We obviously have little time. We're still alive so the shields are holding; we just need to deal with Imperial ground forces entering the tower. "

Rycro seemed doubtful. "Are you sure we can trust them?"

Rarenrar only half smiled. "Well were all in the same boiled water now, the Angar-Rylla will not hesitate to kill them as they will surely try to kill us."

"What can we expect when the legions of doom come strolling in here? More mooks like you guys? Zombies like the ones downstairs? Robots like him?" He hooked a thumb at the Clockwork Man. "Or something else you aren't too keen on fighting?" He raised a questioning eyebrow, a gesture that would go unnoticed beneath the mask save for the slight tilt of his head, and fell silent as he awaited his answer.

Rarenrar only responded. "Those 'zombies' are called archons, doubtful the Angar-Rylla possess that technology." Another shot shook the tower again, though this one was less violent. The sounds of more small explosions could just be heard outside. "I can't tell you what to expect from the Angar-Rylla, they are as diverse as they are cruel. Expect anything."

"If you’re willing to hold the lower levels, it should buy us all the time we need."

I think it can be managed, the Thalmor appear to be facing a rapid decline, if Phase one plays out they would be close to collapse, and as you pointed out the elves live a thousand years, I am sure some are against the Thalmor and even those which aren't may be having doubts about the strength of their leaders. Such a rapid decline would certainly impact morale. I don't think it needs miracles so much as it need to get the other races to think ending the Thalmor would be useful. Once the Dominion is pushed back to Summerset and their navy lies in tatters, the elves might well be demoralised. It will require time, but if the other races gain a foothold and keep it held, maybe they can coerce the Thalmor into a surrender. If not, we take their key positions and leave them for deadIf it took the Numundium the first time, lets go one higher and beat them without it the second time. The Thalmor are tough, but from everything we've seen they aren't invincible. A united army of the races of the Redguards, Nords, Bretons, Khajiit, Bosmer and Imperials should hopefully be enough to topple the Thalmor, if not we'll ask the Dark Elves too, they are powerful mages.

Meh, seems all disappointing, the Aldmeri Dominion seem beat before the Rp even starts, I mean we're literally just calling them Thalmor now, that;'s how bad it is. let's hope the Akaviri Alliance is more interesting, else this will be one disappointing RP. :K

The Akaviri Alliance seem like it will need all of Tamriel to fight, and it does not seem like that is far form happening as it stands. Can you imagine if everyone just sided with on faction in ESO. :P

Phase two of my plan involves acquiring assistance from Hammerfell in Naval assets, I mentioned that the Imperial Navy isn't exactly a sparkling beacon xD (After all, the current Empire is bordered by independent factions that, if war was to break out, would likely be attacking across land, so a strong Army is key rather than a strong navy. With the Thalmor its really the other way around, so if the Empire manages to land on Summerset it will stand a fair chance, but the Imperial Navy is inferior to the High Elven navy.) It hinges on whether phase one does work out (If phase one fails phase two would be heavily delayed) and then heavily on whether Hammerfell would be willing to help cripple the Thalmor navy. Phase three is where the Imperial legion comes into play and lands on Summerset isle, hopefully with the support of Skyrim, if Phase three is initiated the Thalmor are in check, hopefully soon to be checkmate. Bretons have magical resistance while the Altmer have a weakness to magic, so I should be able to use Breton Battle mages to trade blows with the Thalmor mages while the skilled fast attack Redguard and quick moving Kajhiit dash in from a flank to deal with the Altmers powerful mages (If the Redguards get into one on one melee combat with the Thalmor mages, the skilled redguard should be able to deal with them, especially with khajiit aid) while the Legionairres and the Nords deal with the Thalmor infantryAs you see there are two major problems with this plot. The first is Phase one, which relies heavily on a bit of political maneuvering which could easily fail. The second is that it definitely requires Hammerfell and High Rock navies (Cant land the armies if the Thalmor sink the boats) which could be troublesome to obtain. It could also do with the aid of Skyrim to aid in the land combat. Hammerfell and Skyrim almost certainly distrust the Empure, and High Rock is fully of political warring.

In summary, the Empire needs just a few miracles. :p

I mean even with the first two phases, an invasion of Summer set is no small challenge. Close to a herculean effort when I think about it, since it took the Brass God(Numundium) to invade Summerset the one and only time anyone has ever succeeded in the task.

Heh, that would make Sukoh look like the biggest asshole for throwing him up there in the first place. XD
