Bio
I am a man in my mid twenties who has been role playing since I was 10. I just recently moved to a new town to attend university, and I'm attempting to open up to new people, both in-person and online. I'm part of the official guild discord, so feel free to add me if you want. I love reading and writing, science fiction, and fantasy. In my off time if I feel like using my brain I enjoy reading classical literature. I recently finished Anna Karenina and have started Tale of Two Cities. I have also been slowly studying and learning French. Don't mind the low post count I normally do my RPing through private messaging.

Forum: Advanced Interest Checks
Hey! I was wondering if there was room for a Aristocratic Industrialist who serves the Emperor? Perhaps by selling the Empire his steam machines..? :D
So out of curiosity, what side is the north and south of Elsweyr on, and the player?
Also, which areas of Valenwood are still Aldmeri? The south?
Also, which areas of Valenwood are still Aldmeri? The south?
Alinor, Summerset Isles, Aldmeri Dominion.
Candles flickered dimly around a solid room with a heavy air in it. In the center was a large table which seemed to shimmer, even with the minimal light. Around it were many chairs and none of the people in those chairs looked particularly pleased. It was the third night in a row they had spent like this, and they supposed there would be many more. A brutish large man with a wolfs pelt draped over his shoulders cleared his throat, and broke the silence.
“Damned Imperials are pushing us farther and farther back in Valenwood. I heard we lost near 300 Aldmeri Ships in that damned Docking Incident. You lot know what I could have done for this Dominion given 300 ships..?”
Next a hard-faced woman spoke who seemed to have not but cruelty in her eyes. She was Altmer, and proudly displayed the sigil of the Thalmor on her cloak.
“Silence, Man. You would doubt your superiors over as minor a setback as this..?”
“MINOR?!” The goliath of a man roared, pounding a hand on the table.
“Silence.” Spoke Aelid, and though he spoke no louder than a common voice, the room immediately fell silent.
“I understand your concern, Wolfsbane. But I believe that is Lord Admiral Orthorn’s issue to deal with.” Aelid nodded to another Altmer sitting around the table, and he nodded. Aelid continued;
“Our Bosmer cousins would betray the Dominion to live as sheep under the rule of Man. This foolishness would weaken not only their own nation, but ours as well. Which is why we must do something about this.”
Now a man of more slender build spoke, and he appeared to be smoking a cigar of a brand called Old Red, which smoked the room. He had a thin face and a light facial hair, appearing in his forties.
“Valenwood is lost, My Grace. Order a full retreat so we may consolidate our men on the isles and plan our next move, prepare for a siege if we must. “
“You would leave my people to rot under Imperial Rule?!” Spoke a bosmer harshly; he wore light chainmail decorated with the sigil of the order of the eight. He sat nearest to Aelid, and appeared to be wearing the signature one-handed swore and dagger of their new infamous fighting style.
“Aelid’s Twin Blade Technique has barely been tested in large amounts in battle, other than our rebellion, and it seems fairly obvious we won that. Who’s to say it can’t win back Valenwood?”
The bosmer appeared pleased with himself, as the Lord Admiral nodded in agreement. Once more the Imperial man with the cigar spoke, gravely.
“It doesn’t matter any even if the Twin Blades DID work! We’ve been getting reports of massive Imperial Propaganda in Valenwood. The Bosmer don’t even WANT our Liberation!”
Aelid spoke now, and finished the matter.
“The Renshi are not to be used. Not yet. The Bosmer prefer their bows and trees, and the Twin Blade’s would fail in the forest. No, I would send a team of magistrates to perform counter-propaganda, exposing the Empire for what it really is! I would also send a squad of Battle-Mages from the Arcane Society to restore Aldmeri Dominance. I would ask that they would be accompanied by a Battalion from the Thalmor.”
The silence that came next was long, as the Thalmor woman from before wrestled with the idea. Instead, she proposed a new question.
“And what of the Argonian’s proposal for a meeting?
“I will set sail tomorrow. Luckily our superior ships will allow me to sail from here to Black Marsh without need to ever stop or lay anchor. Though it will be a very long trip.”
“Surely you jest, Your Grace. You would travel half a continent to speak to a race of barely sentient lizards?”
“I would indeed. The Khajjit of Elsweyr have betrayed the trust and friendship of the Aldmeri. It is my understand the Khajjit harbor no love of the Argonians. So, if Elsweyr would turn its back on us, let us see if Black Marsh is more accepting.”
“Allying with REPTILES!” She scoffed, and leaned back in her chair, almost amused by the conversation. Aelid spoke once more, hoping he could convince her of her support.
“Not only are this, the Dunmer relatively close to Black Marsh. Though they lay far away, perhaps they would pay us more heed than the Bosmer.”
At this, the Thalmor Justicar seemed indeed interested, as she hadn’t thought of help from their dark skinned relatives. She had only a minute or two of silence before standing up, and gracefully gliding out of the room. As she left, her voice trailed down the hallway.
“A single battalion!”
Aelid smiled.
Actions:
-Magistrates performing Pro-Aldmeri Propoganda
-Battle-Mages and Thalmor sent to restore Aldmeri Dominance.
-King Aelid and small company set sail for Argonia.

Updated my Nation Sheet with the important people, made Jark Wolfsbane leading bandits instead of ex-stormcloaks and companions. Also, Walden is leading ex-prisoners. I'll post my first IC soon.
(Damned double posts! Well, since this is already here, my first post will probably be within 24 hours. Sorry!)

I read this as "I'm not going to attack you, but I directly support it and am in fact letting people throw bodies at each other because you both get weakened and I just get to watch while both sides pander to me to either a) close off the ports or b) keep the ports open."
Aye. Seems my Bosmer Cousins aren't as close to me as I thought. Well, fine. I suppose these things will be decided on the field of battle. But I live and love on a Isle, and I've a Aldmeri Fleet lead by a Lord Admiral.
So if you would kick my support and resources from your land, so be it. But if you plan to take this War to the Sea... Well,
Good Luck.

Perhaps...
Yay! Friendship!

Morrowind might be interested in being friends with the Dominion...
The more Elves the Merrier!
Though we are kinda on opposites side of Tamriel. That is both a Advantage and Disadvantage.

@prince potter as far as im concerned I may not be a neutral party but im not sending my bosmer to attack you, im just kicking you out of my forest and letting whoever does want to attack you use the ports. nothing more nothing less
In-directly supporting the people trying to cleave my head from my shoulders is still supporting them.
But shit guys, I'm cool with with being outnumbered. I just don't want to get stomped by like five armies all at once. So long as I'm promised that its not Nirn vs. Altmer I'm good.
Speaking of which, I understand what happened with the Khajjit and the Mane and all that stuff, but why are the Bosmer even mad bro? Fighting because of the Racial Injustice of how the Aldmeri treat men? Because as far as I know, Bosmer are treated fairly well in the Dominon.

Well...Before the RP even started the Khajiit kicked out the ThalmorThere is now an uprising in Valenwood, backed by an Imperial Legion because, as it turns out, the cosmopolitan Empire isn't too fond of the Elven Nazi party who tried to destroy their nation and enslave them. (And so far, the Thalmor are losing pretty badly)The Redguards made a treaty which meant the Thalmor halted their failed invasion of HammerfellThe Nords have unoutlawed Talos Worship and are now independent from the Empire.The new Emperor has pretty much spat on the concordat, believing its terms undermine the values of the Empire, and turns a blind eye to Talos worship and the likes.I've got some of your ships after seizing a major port in Valenwood with the wood elves as part of the Bosmer insurrection I'm holding a summit in the north to try and gain support to come south and batter you with more ships and troops and invade Alinor its selfElsweyr is basically fighting its self, with the Empire providing limited support, after the mane was assassinated (You pretty much got the blame despite having nothing to do with it, because no one suspects the real killers, so no matter which side wins the civil war there's going to be angry cats out for you)The Akaviri are, unbeknownst to us, planning an invasion.High Rock is, as ever, in a shouting match with its self as the Emperor face palms while trying to get them to work together for onceAll in all, not a good situation to start in, I'm afraid xD And that's just the things involving the Thalmor I can recall off the top of my head
Yeah, I PMed the Bosmer player asking if they were part of the Dominion or not, and they gave me a brief recap. I don't want to sound like a sissy, but I don't know how much fun this game will be if its literally just "HEY LET'S ALL HOLD HANDS AND KICK HIGH ELF ASS TOGETHER! YAY!"
I guess what I'm saying is..
Friends, pls?
Sounds like Altmeri ships are the bees knees! And I was kinda hoping to have a fairly small, but powerful military. So I'll edit the ships to say, 500?
And I suppose I can change the Non-Elven Loyalists to Metcenarys, but I was planning on using The Thalmors hatred for the friends and soldiers he picked up along the way being a bone of contention.
Thalmor would want to get rid of Non-Elf Allies, Aelid would say No, they are his friends. Then tension and political drama and all that good stuff.
But if they are simple Mercenarys, then if the Thalmor throw a big fit over them, Aelid would simply dismiss them as he doesn't have the same emotional connection, thus losing a perfect chance for internal conflict! I'm no fighting the Mercenary idea, just letting you know where I was going with all that.

Nice, finally someone is willing to take Alinor. Some things I've noticed:-The Dragonborn is a Redguard, not a Breton.-Your idea of human fighting for the Dominion seems interesting. However, it feels a little unfeasible. I would change it to mercenaries instead of loyal fighters.-According to lore, merchants do not preside over arcane scholars on the Isle. By Aldmer traditions (they are one of the most traditionalist races), artists and mages are considered higher in class than traders.-While the Dominion navy is the most powerful in Tamriel, 1500 ships is a bit overkill. The British Royal Navy (comparable to the Aldmer fleet) never reached anything close that kind of number. Even the modern US Navy only operates 289 ships.I'll let my co-GM, Leidenschaft, do a more through analysis and fill you in on what you need to do before starting. In the mean time, I'll try to condense all the events into my next post.
Thanks for the condensed post!
And I hear you loud and clear on the Naval thing. I'll reduce it. Any idea what kind of number would be more appropriate? I just kind of wanted a lot so troop transport would be such a pain in the ass.
As far as the Dragonborn, your sure? I could have sworn to the Eight/Nine it was a Breton!
Dealing with the Non-Elven fighters, they were picked up during his travels on Mainland Tamriel, and are filled with various groups of bandits, smugglers, thieves and murderers. For one reason or another, Aelid won them over. However, I don't expect to replace them once they are dead. The Men of Mer are kind of a one shot group of criminal loyalists.
As far as the social system goes, Traders have rose in my society in prestige due to their constant help in aiding Aelid. However, I do understand that Mages and the like are important to their society. Instead of putting Traders or Mages above one another, lets just say that Higher Tier Merchants are now equal to Mages in Prestige, due to recent events.
