The GameThe GameThe GameThe Game "In the waning years of the Third Era of Tamriel..."This is an action-oriented fantasy game set in the lore of the Elder Scrolls games. In particular, this system is based on the mechanics and game feel of the third game, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. In this game, the presiding themes are prophecy, divine power, loss of sanity and the occult.

The CosmologyThe CosmologyThe CosmologyThe Cosmology In the beginning, there was the Godhead. An all-powerful entity, asleep and dreaming. From his dreams sprung Anu and Padomay, Stasis and Change. These "brothers" (the term used in the loosest sense here, solely on being related but different forces) created Nir, a personification of the Aubris and All That Is. But Padomay grew jealous of the relationship between Anu and Nir and sought to destroy their child, Creation. Nir was killed and Creation was shattered, but Anu managed to salvage it and seal himself and his brother outside of Time forever. How Anu exactly did this is not sure, given that time did not exist at this point. From Anu and Padomay came Anui-El (personification of creation) and Sithis (personification of chaos). More forces than beings, they eventually made way for the et'Ada (spirit-gods); Auri-El (the ancestor of Mer, to them known as Akatosh), Shezarr (the ancestor of Man, to them known as Shor) and more. There were two different kinds of et'Ada: those of Anuic basis became the Aedra, those of Padomaic basis became the Daedra. The Aldmer (proto-Altmer) gave them their names: Aedra (singular: Aedroth, though this name is used almost exclusively in scholaric texts) meaning "those who are our ancestors" and Daedra (singular: Daedroth, not to be confused with the Daedra with the same name, also only in common use in scholaric texts) meaning "those who are not our ancestors", these names (accurately) describing which group they descend from. While they are more or less the same kind of beings the modern Mer races would have everyone believe that they are not, just to look better themselves. In the Dawn Era, time, in the shape of Akatosh (Ara, Auriel, Auri-El Tosh'Raka, AKHAT; take your pick), was non-linear. It flowed freely wherever it wanted, without direction, form of shape. In this temporal soup floated the souls of the proto-Mer. Time, in this form, was a single point. It was called the Ur-Tower, Ada-Mantia. Except it was not really a point or a tower, but more of a sound. The et'Ada saw it, and it was good. Except for one. Lorkhan (LKHAN, Shor, Sep, Shezarr, maybe even Shepard) descided he would not stand for this. He came up with a plan for a creation and showed it to Magnus, the Aedra of magic. Magnus went along with the plan and recruited the help of the Aedra Akatosh, Dibella, Julianos, Kynareth, Mara, Stendarr and Zenithar to serve as the basis of their creation: the Earth Bones. Except that they did not know this last part: Lorkhan had fooled them and they were fused into the foundation of the world, Nirn. When they discovered they were tricked the et'Ada were not amused. Magnus buggered off into infinity along with his servants, tearing through the edge of Mundus and creating the sun and the stars in the process. Others gave Lorkhan his due: Trinimac tore his heart out and Auriel shot it out over the sea, where it landed in a spot that would gain the moniker "Red Mountain" amd become the heart of Morrowind. The halves of Lorkhan's body became the moons Masser and Secunda, the last visible remnants of a corpse god. But this was just as planned for Lorkhan because Red Mountain was Red Tower, the second Tower, and the beat of his heart would be added to the sound of Akatosh.

This completely, utterly and irrevocably affected spacetime. Because there now was a second point in existence, time could no longer flow anywhere it wanted and had to flow from Akatosh to Lorkhan. With time becoming linear, Nirn could start to grow. The souls of the Mer were forced into physical bodies and were the first on Nirn. Life began. The Mer were not pleased by this. They blamed Lorkhan for their predicament, naming him the Doom Drum and the herald of all misfortune. But they made the best out of the situation, and the races of Mer prospered. New Towers came into existence, one by one: Walks-Like-Brass Tower, White-Gold Tower, Snow-Throat Tower, Crystal-Like-Law, Orchalc, Khajit and Tree-Sap. But, as time went on (something new back then), more and more happened. New peoples stood up. Empires were founded and fell. The races of Men were discovered, the beast races prospered, and the Empires of Men were founded.

CHIMCHIMCHIMCHIM Imagine if you will, a great wheel with eight spokes. The wheel is everything that exists: Aubris. The hub is Nirn, the world that the series takes place on. The spokes are the Aedra, the Eight Divines. The space between the spokes is Oblivion, where the Daedra reside. Mundus encompasses both Nirn, its moons and the realms of the Aedra. Now, if you were to turn the wheel 90 degrees, you'd be looking at the rim of the wheel so it resembles I. This is the Tower, the Secret of Aubris, holder of the secret. CHIM. The wheel is the entire universe. Outside there exist only two: Anu and Padhome, stasis and change. Think a great void filled with only two bubbles: there where these bubbles touch exists the wheel. Now, the Tower is not something physical, but an ideal. Something that can be attained, conquered, stolen. For one to reside within the tower, is to know the truth of all that is. This truth is that everything is a dream. The supreme power in this universe is the Godhead, the unknown creator of all. Everything, Aurbis, Anu, and Padomay; all created in the dreams of the Godhead. Attaining CHIM is to know this, the relentless alien terror that is God and your place in it. Everything you know, are and do is but a dream. Now, if you discover this either of two things can happen. The most common one is to realize you do and don't exist at the same time: you lose your individuality (you zero-sum) and become one with the dreamer, the Godhead, and you disappear in the proverbial puff of logic. The second option is the rare one: to realize that you are part of the Godhead, you are the Godhead. Everything is an extension of the same thing, and that thing can reshape reality with a thought, being a dreamer within the dream.

The SettingThe SettingThe SettingThe Setting The province of Morrowind is comprised of two notable portions: the island of Vvardenfell and the mainland. Vvardenfell is where the heart of Lorkhan fell and became the Red Mountain, and is the home of the Dunmer, or Dark Elves, an honorable and nationalistic race. Over the ages, they have grown strong by enduring the troubles of their land: storms of ash and fire, devilish diseases, war and night terrors. The influence of Dagoth Ur (known in ages past as Lord Voryn Dagoth) has been twisting the people of this land beyond the limits of sanity.

The War of the First CouncilThe War of the First CouncilThe War of the First CouncilThe War of the First Council As a mortal, Lord Voryn Dagoth was one of the few who knew about the Heart of Lorkhan, together with Vivec, Almalexia, Sotha Sil and their leader Lord Indoril Nerevar. Dagoth claimed that the Dwemer (Dwarven) high priest Kagrenac was drawing power from the Heart using special tools to create a mechanical god, Numidium, that would be used against the Chimer. After Azura confirmed Dagoth's story, action was taken to stop the Dwemer, starting

a war that culminated in the disappearance of the Dwemer and the transformation of the Chimer into the Dunmer. Following the defeat of the Dwemer, the Tools of Kagrenac the Master Craftsman fell into the hands of the Chimer, and Lord Nerevar held the burden of deciding what to do with them. At first, Dagoth himself urged for their immediate destruction, either of the Tools or the Heart itself, which led Nerevar to believe he could be trusted to guard them while Nerevar consulted his councilors, the Tribunal of Vivec, Almalexia and Sotha Sil (and the Dunmer's Daedric patron Azura). Sadly, when Nerevar and the Tribunal returned to Red Mountain with the conclusion that Kagrenac's Tools should be preserved but never used, Dagoth refused to give them up, maintaining that he had been entrusted to guard them. Unbeknownst to them at the time, Dagoth had experimented with the Tools on the Heart during Nerevar's absence, and somehow managed to steal some of its divine essence and power. He now called himself Dagoth Ur, and was forever after known by that name (it's possible Nerevar may have actually coined the name). Nerevar and the Tribunal's guards defeated Dagoth Ur, who was driven off and thought to have been killed. His House ceased to exist; the remnants were either killed or absorbed into the other Great Houses (although it would be resurrected later). However, Nerevar was mortally wounded and died shortly afterwards. Some sources insist that Nerevar died at the hands of the Tribunal, that they murdered him when he left Red Mountain to consult with them, and it was they who fought Dagoth Ur for the Tools, and Dagoth fought to avenge Nerevar's death. These assertions are vehemently denied by the Tribunal Temple, as well as Vivec; even Dagoth Ur's account contradicts this, as he admits that he and Nerevar came to blows beneath the mountain. Regardless, the Tribunal did not obey Nerevar's dying wish: years later, when Sotha Sil had learned their secrets, the Tribunal returned to Red Mountain and used Kagrenac's Tools to steal divine powers for themselves. Thus, Dagoth Ur's connection to the Heart was not destroyed: he remained alive and immortal, albeit temporarily bodiless and presumed dead.

The ReturnThe ReturnThe ReturnThe Return The Tribunal's ambition proved to be disastrous, despite the many great and heroic deeds they accomplished in their divine states. Since Dagoth Ur worked in accordance with the Heart's natural evil, rather than against it as the Tribunal did, he grew stronger as the Tribunal unwittingly grew weaker. In 2E 882, as the Tribunal journeyed to Red Mountain to renew their connection to the Heart in a bathing ritual, they once again encountered Dagoth Ur, reborn to a new incarnation, and with divine power that could more than match their own. Unable to enter Red Mountain's Heart Chamber, they were forced to retreat. Dagoth Ur had sole control of the Heart from this point on. Later successes allowed Dagoth Ur to expand his sphere of influence further: at first to nearby Dwemer citadels, and then even further by means of spreading blight diseases. In 3E 417, the worst blow came: as part of a misguided attempt to recapture the Dwemer citadels, Almalexia and Sotha Sil lost the artifacts Sunder and Keening, two of Kagrenac's Tools, and had to be rescued by Vivec. Eventually, the Tribunal were forced to retire from their previously active lives and devote most of their time to maintaining the magical Ghostfence they erected to prevent Dagoth Ur's sphere of influence from spreading. Even this was only a partial success; blight-infected creatures could fly over it, and there was a passage below the ground to the lost Dunmer Fortress of Kogoruhn, the stronghold of House Dagoth in life, through which other diseased and Corprus-infected creatures could escape Red Mountain. Now possessing only one of Kagrenac's tools, the gauntlet Wraithguard, the Tribunal could not - dared not - even pass the bounds of their own Ghostfence to recapture the others, and

were too weak to even fight an Ash Vampire, let alone Dagoth Ur himself. As Sotha Sil and Almalexia slowly withdrew from the world, Vivec stood alone in maintaining the Ghostfence, an effort that took so much of his energies he could not stir out of his palace, and his Temple's Ordinators ran out of his control and became ever more fanatical and rigid as the faith of the Dunmer wavered. Meanwhile, Dagoth Ur set about constructing Akulakhan, the Second Numidium, a brass machine god he would use to conquer all of Tamriel...

AltmerAltmerAltmerAltmer (High Elf, the Cultured People, the Elder Ones) To Imperials, the haughty, tall, golden-skinned peoples of Summerset Isle are called High Elves. The Ayleids referred to them as Salache, but they call themselves Altmer, or the "Cultured People". In the Empire, "High" is often understood to mean proud or snobbish, and as the Altmer generally personify these characteristics, the "lesser races" generally resent them. Altmer confidently consider themselves, with some justice, to be the most civilized culture of Tamriel; the common tongue of Tamriel is based on Altmer speech and writing, and most of the Empire's arts, crafts, laws, and sciences are derived from Altmer traditions. However, the Altmer's smug self-assurance of superiority can be hard to bear. The Altmer are the most strongly gifted in the arcane arts of all the races, and they are very resistant to diseases. However, they are also somewhat vulnerable to fire, frost, and shock. They are among the longest living and intelligent races of Tamriel, and they often become powerful magic users due to both their magical affinity and the many centuries they may devote to their studies. Some Altmer's incredibly strong minds make them naturally immune to all kinds of paralysis.

Argonian Argonian Argonian Argonian (Saxhleel, the People of the Root) Argonians (they prefer Saxhleel in Jel, their native tongue, a word that seems to mean "People of the Root") are the little-understood reptilian denizens of Black Marsh. Years of defending their borders have made the Argonians experts in guerrilla warfare, and their natural abilities make them equally at home in water and on land. They have developed natural immunities to the diseases and poisons that have doomed many would-be explorers and conquerors of the region. Their seemingly expressionless faces belie a calm intelligence, and many Argonians are well-versed in the magical arts. Others rely on stealth or steel to survive, and their natural agility makes them adept at either. They are, in general, a reserved people, slow to trust and hard to know, yet they are fiercely loyal, and will fight to the death for those they have named as friends. While Argonians appear reptilian in nature at first glance, they also exhibit qualities of fish and amphibians: they are able to breathe underwater through small gills behind their ears, and swim using the same method as that of a tadpole or eel by moving their tail side-to-side to propel through the water. Argonians possess the most alien personalities in all of Tamriel from a human or meric perspective and it is often assumed that Argonians possess neither

personality nor emotions. Of course this is not true; Argonians simply do not facially express their emotions as much as man and mer do, though anger is easily detectable from their bared teeth and narrowed eyes. Argonians' genders are sometimes referred to as life-phases, implying they may be able to change gender. However, this is unconfirmed, and Argonian hatchlings may be of either gender. Argonian appearance ranges from reptilian to almost human; this is caused by the Hist sap they ingest as hatchlings which ceremonially takes place on their Naming Day. Ancient cave paintings depict figures which appear to be more tree-like than Argonian.

Bosmer Bosmer Bosmer Bosmer (Wood Elf, Boiche, the Tree-Sap People, the Green Ones) The Bosmer are the Elven clan-folk of Valenwood, a forested province in southwestern Tamriel. In the Empire, they are often referred to as Wood Elves, but Bosmer, Boiche, or the Tree-Sap People is what they call themselves. Bosmer rejected the stiff, formal traditions of Aldmeri high culture, preferring a more romantic, simple existence in harmony with the land, its wild beauty and wild creatures. They are relatively nimble and quick in body and wit compared to their more "civilized" Elven cousins, making them well-suited for a variety of professions, including scouts, thieves, traders and scholars. The best archers in all of Tamriel, the Bosmer snatch and fire arrows in one continuous motion; they are even rumored to have invented the bow. They have many natural and unique abilities; notably, they can command simple-minded creatures and have a nearly chameleon-like ability to hide in forested areas. As part of their Green Pact, they are religiously carnivorous and cannibalistic, but do not harm vegetation of Valenwood (though they are not averse to using wooden or plant-derived products created by others).

Breton Breton Breton Breton (The Manmer) Bretons are the human descendants of the Aldmeri-Nedic Manmer of the Merethic Era and are now the inhabitants of the province of High Rock. They are united in culture and language,

even though they are divided politically, for High Rock is a fractious region. Bretons make up the peasantry, soldiery, and magical elite of the feudal kingdoms that compete for power. Many are capable mages with innate resistance to magicka. They are known for a proficiency in abstract thinking and unique customs. Bretons appear, by and large, much like other pale-skinned humans. They are usually slight of build and not as muscular as Nords or Redguards. Their Elvish ancestry is usually only detectable upon a closer inspection of their eyebrows, ears, or high cheekbones, though many individual Bretons appear to be more Nordic or Imperial than anything else. The great diversity in their appearance is to be expected from their politically fractured society, though their clothes, accents, customs and names are fairly uniform.

Dunmer Dunmer Dunmer Dunmer (Dark Elf, Moriche) The Dunmer, also known as Dark Elves, or Moriche in the Ayleid Language, are the ash-skinned, red-eyed, Elven peoples of the Eastern Empire. "Dark" is commonly understood as meaning such characteristics as "dark-skinned", "gloomy", "ill-favored by fate" and so on. The Dunmer and their national identity, however, embrace these various connotations with enthusiasm. In the Empire, "Dark Elf" is the common usage, but among their Aldmeri brethren they are called "Dunmer". Their combination of powerful intellects with strong and agile physiques produce superior warriors and sorcerers. On the battlefield, Dunmer are noted for their skill with a balanced integration of the sword, the bow and destruction magic. In character, they are grim, aloof, and reserved, as well as distrusting and disdainful of other races. Dunmer distrust and are treated distrustfully by other races. They are often proud, clannish, ruthless, and cruel, from an outsider's point of view, but greatly value loyalty and family. Young female Dark Elves are well known for their promiscuity. Despite their powerful skills and strengths, the Dunmer's vengeful nature, age-old conflicts, betrayals, and ill-reputation prevent them from gaining more influence. Those born in their homeland of Morrowind are known to be considerably less friendly than those who grew up in the Imperial tradition.

Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial (Cyrodiil, Cyro-Nordic) Known as Cyrodiils, Cyrodilics or Cyro-Nordics before the time of Talos, the well-educated and well-spoken Imperials are the natives of the civilized, cosmopolitan province of Cyrodiil. Imperials are also known for the discipline and training of their citizen armies, and their respect for the rule of law. Though physically less imposing than the other races, the Imperials have proved to be shrewd diplomats and traders, and these traits, along with their remarkable skill and training as light infantry, have enabled them to subdue all the other nations and races and erect the monument to peace and prosperity that comprises the Glorious Empire. Their hegemony has waxed and waned throughout the eras, and most historians refer to three distinct Empires, the ends of which each mark a new epoch in Tamrielic history.

Khajiit Khajiit Khajiit Khajiit (Cathay-Raht or Senche-Tiger) The Khajiit are a race of feline humanoids hailing from the province of Elsweyr, well-known for their keen intelligence and agility. While these traits make them superb thieves and acrobats, Khajiit are also fearsome warriors, although seldom gifted with the skill to harness magical forces. This is not to say that Khajiit do not possess the ability, merely that strenuous training must be undertaken to make wielding magic a serious option, either in passive or aggressive actions. Physiologically, Khajiit differ greatly from both the varied races of man and mer, not only in their skeletal structure (possessing a tail and, in some forms, a digitigrade stance, i.e. toe walking) and dermal makeup (the "fur" that covers their bodies) but in their digestion and metabolism as well. The Khajiit, along with the Argonians and the Imga, make up the so called 'beast races' of the Empire, due to their therianthropic qualities. It is currently unclear whether a successful union between Khajiit and other races may occur, for no well-documented cases exist despite rumors. The divergent appearance and mannerisms of the Khajiit often lead bigoted members of other races to look down on them.

Nord Nord Nord Nord (The Children of the Sky) The Nords are the children of the sky, a race of tall and fair-haired humans from Skyrim who are known for their incredible resistance to cold and magical frost. They are enthusiastic warriors, and many become renowned soldiers and mercenaries all over Tamriel. Eager to augment their martial skills beyond the traditional methods of Skyrim, they excel in all manner of warfare, and are known as a militant people by their neighbors. Nords are also natural seamen, and have benefited from nautical trade since their first migrations from Atmora. They captain and crew many merchant fleets, and may be found all along the coasts of Tamriel.

OrcOrcOrcOrc (Orsimer, The Pariah Folk) Orcs, also called Orsimer or "Pariah Folk" in ancient times, are sophisticated, beastlike people of the Wrothgarian Mountains, Dragontail Mountains, and Orsinium (literally translated as "Orc-Town"). They are noted for their unshakable courage in war and their unflinching endurance of hardships. In the past, Orcs have been widely feared and hated by the other nations and races of Tamriel, and were often considered to be goblin-ken. However, they have slowly won acceptance in the Empire, in particular for their distinguished service in the Emperor's Legions. Orc armorers are prized for their craftsmanship, and Orc warriors in heavy armor are among the finest front-line troops in the Empire, and are fearsome when using their berserker rage. Most Imperial citizens regard the Orc society as rough and cruel. The Orcs of the Iliac Bay region have developed their own language, known as Orcish, and have often had their own kingdom, Orsinium.

Redguard Redguard Redguard Redguard (The Hammerfell Men) The most naturally talented warriors in Tamriel, the dark-skinned, wiry-haired Redguards of Hammerfell seem born to battle, though their pride and fierce independence of spirit makes them more suitable as scouts or skirmishers, or as free-ranging heroes and adventurers, than as rank-and-file soldiers. In addition to their cultural affinities for many weapon and armor styles, Redguards are also physically blessed with hardy constitutions, resistance to poison, and quickness of foot. Redguards do not share the same blood as the other human races, and they have no connection with the ancestral Nordic homeland of Atmora.
