The Elder Scrolls: Fruits of Contention - Chapter 1 (Completed)

I'm working a lot of overtime this week. When I start the Farid trial, Leif will be the one who is champion, unless Frizzy-Wizzy and Foxy-Woxy wanna rock-paper-scissors for it.

Farid would actually be eager to beat up our runner boy.

@gcold

I kind of want to have Jorwen or Solveig in there against him.

Sagax would probably want a crack at Farid after hearing what he did to Orahk. There was also that unintentional foreshadowing by Sagax during the collab Roze and I did.

Or he could volunteer himself and immediately be told to sit the fuck down by everyone else because "dude you were fucking SHOT yesterday", lol

@Frizan

I'd imagine he'd stand up from his seat and immediately be gently pushed back into it by a big Red-Bear.

Throw in your two cents, everyone. If no one else volunteers, Leif will be chosen.

Seems like a good time for someone, specifically a lizard man and double entendre lord, to bother them.

@Chrononaut

Vurwe still has to bump into Jorwen

Also!

Farid's fate is being decided amongst the Senior Officers of the Company. They will ultimately give Farid a choice between paying Ashav blood price for Orakh or disputing it and fighting Ashav's champion.

We have two choices-

One of you guys volunteers, and their fate is decided by a (generous) dice roll. If they win, they are given a tidy lump sum of gold.

-OR-

If no one wants to volunteer their character, a dice roll will decide between Cleftjaw and Cilo stepping up and fighting. It'll be a little less fun, as the drama then is only really foisted upon two PCs, instead of the rest of you rooting and cheering for one of your fellow PCs.

I lurk a lot. As much as I wish to... unfortunately I cannot since I haven't actually played the Elder Scrolls T.T

Having attempted to read things related to the occult in the past (and some more esoteric religious pieces) I can say that he's doing a good imitation.

@Peik

I like Vivec's Sermons, just his fucking C0DA stuff gives me a mild stroke.

They partially retconned that into Nibenese and Colovians.

@gcold

Which I think is really cool. There was a r/teslore post about Reachmen and there was a point touched on between ethnicity and cultural ties. The guy broke down the man races and one thing I've never taken into account is that Colovians are partially inspired by the Lombards, being the more rugged and "Nordic" of the two, while the Nibenese are those from the Eastern Mediterannean, like Greece, with their myriad cults to different Gods.

They were from a simpler time, back when Upanishad and Crowley influenced mindfuckery weren't an integral part of the game lore.

@Peik

I don't like Kirkbride anymore, if not only because the way he writes makes me want to take my brain out because it doesn't work after reading anything he writes.

It just sounds like a schizophrenic rambling, really.

They weren't a thing until Morrowind to my knowledge.

@Peik

Oh, yea. UESP on Daggerfall races says about Cyrodiil, "It does not sport any one indigenous race due to its geographically central location" or somesuch.

And Orcs were just lowly enemies, no higher than goblins.

It's not as fun when you can't hang your magic on bandoliers and have a bang and smoke fill the air whenever you magic misshul.

<Snipped quote by Leidenschaft>

Back when Imperials did not exist, Khajiit were just face painters and Argonians had bustling hair, I assume.

@Peik

Yea, pretty much. I know they retconned the Khajiit in Daggerfall to be Ohmes('Raht) but I can't remember what they said, if anything, about the Argonians then.

And Imperials weren't a thing in Daggerfall?
