The Elder Scrolls: Ascension [OLD OOC THREAD]

He holds no ideal for a "free" Skyrim, thinks the minute she gets her freedom someone will just invade and take it away again.

Lookin at you Dominion.

Plus, Skyrim didn't do him no favors growing up.

Why not just fight to end the dominion and officially bring back the worship of Talos?

Well that's all the Nord's need to do really, instead of rebelling against the Empire they can just help destroy the Dominion and get their religion back.

And I don't know if I'm gonna have Ragnar a worshiper of Talos yet, maybe I'll have him worship Khorn

[The NAR]

^^^

Didn't think of that. So many people worship Talos.... if they unite and defeat the Dominion then the Empire stands and the 9 Divines are returned

[The Krogan]

That's what I don't get in the game, are none of the Nords smart enough to realize the only way to be able to worship Talos again they need to destroy the Dominion?

[Faal Lot Himdah]

So it's a possibility.... I'll take it.

Yes but personally I'm conflicted. He's a worshipper of Talos and rebels would have the morale high ground, but it'd take a lot to betray his empire.

That's perfectly normal and expect.

Hmmm, rebellion in Skyrim? I wonder how will the Firebeards and their rivals react to it.

Will they support it or not?

You are dead to me.

Well, if the Dominion is busy with the Empire, Skyrim has time to prepare, plus there is the possibility of a Coup in the Dominion.

Dutch, give my second app a closer read over, see if you can spot anything wrong with it I'll edit the one in the archive while I wait for your reply.

I already saw your blatant accusations, but I've heard you shouldn't ask a lady her age.

What? I have no clue of what you're talking about. I forgot to do the equipment section...

[The NAR]

If Skyrim amassed Legions like in the Great War and helped the Empire defeat the Dominion, Talos worship would be legal

Still, the Empire did more for Ragnar then Skyrim did, the only thing she brought was fire and death to his doorstep. (Stormcloak bandits plot!)

He loves the place don't get me wrong, but has no interest in watching the place tear itself apart in another civil war.

Oh.

Legions are already being raised in Skyrim.

[Faal Lot Himdah]

Ok, let me clear something up, Ylgim's plans for rebellion have little to do with worship, since the ban of the worship of Talos isn't enforced. It has more to do about Skyrim being free to make her own decisions. Like Scotland, Scotland doesn't want independence because of religion, no, it's about the right to make their own decisions. If some one's fighting because they chose to, they will fight harder than if they're told to. Ylgim knows his history, he knows the Skyrim was in her glory when she was independent, he also knows that even when she was part of the Empire, as long as Skyrim had the right to self rule, she was strong. The Stormcloaks where to radical and impulsive, bringing disaster to Skyrim. To Ylgim the only way to bring Skyrim back to her former glory is for her to be independent. He doesn't care how long it takes, or how many steps must be made. His first major goal is to get the Empire to allow Skyrim to self rule, then he can make a go for full independence.

Something to do with good OPs and Age...

[The Warriors of the Sun]

Man, I just cannot keep up with the speed of the OP, thankfully I can for the IC. Being that there seems to be only three characters in the Dominion and within a couple of posts two of them won't even be in the Dominion I feel it is safe to assume nothing in the OOC is affecting the Dominion.

Which also begs me to ask the OPs/Co-OPs/whoever feels like answering...can myself and the two other Dominion players have some creative freedom over the Dominion? Mainly because so little information is given about the Dominion. Particularly the names of groups/people and the organizations of groups/military forces in the Dominion? Unless y'all already have an idea for those.

Also, if said war is to happen eventually, will you decide when it is start? Most of the Dominion players oppose the Thalmor starting the war (one of us not wanting war all together, and myself just wanting to wait for the Empire to strike), but technically none of our characters have the authority to choose when the Thalmor would start it if they would.

Finally, what parts of the treaty from the first Great War are still in effect? Being that the Empire is killing off scouts is it safe to assume the part of the treaty allowing Thalmor Justicars to roam the Empire has been broken at some point?

Yeah man think about the reason Skyrim is in so much strife is because they want Talos back as one of the nine, so if the empire used that as a rallying call it could cause many Nords to express loyalty to the empire, and as such decrease the risk of a rebellion.

[The Krogan]

Ok, let me clear something up, Ylgim's plans for rebellion have little to do with worship, since the ban of the worship of Talos isn't enforced.

Hmmm a semi-autonomous Skyrim is what Ragnar can get behind, maybe a protectorate of the Empire, but if there's war he'll fight for the Empire.

Well that's step one. The next step would be an independent Skyrim. Ylgim is about taking things safely.

You're allowed some creative freedom, aye.

I'll indeed decide.

After Cardes I's return following the taking of Skyrim Justicar presence has been declining, mainly due to larger amounts of them going "missing". The embassy is still in Cyrodiil, and there's one in Skyrim as well, but both are undermanned.


I'm perfectly quite happy with the RP's pace: The IC can be followed by everyone while still moving on, while the OOC is pretty vibrant and active.

[Landenburg]

How many soldiers can the Empier field? How big will city garrison's be?

Cool, you could probably work out a pretty good economic and military alliance with the Empire if you play your cards right.

So the embassy in Skyrim is still there.... Ylgim has a target for a secret attack.

Again... Already planned.

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

How many soldiers can the Empier field? How big will city garrison's be?

A city's garrison would be around a 800-1000 men for larger cities such as Skingrad., lower for poorer cities such as Anvil.

The Legion's currently pretty damn big, above the first Great War's 100.000

If Talos isn't your rallying cry than don't expect much support. The Empire protects Skyrim, and without the Empire, Skyrim is screwed.

Ragnar will kill Thalmor for money.

And dammit your always one step ahead of me!

Great, when the other Dominion characters are up to it I will see about working with them to come up with stuff. Because I need to come up with some other military leaders for the Dominion besides a human Plus I think a cooler name is needed for the leaders of the Dominion besides the Thalmor Council which I have been referring to them as

I look forward to seeing how the opening moves go down assuming diplomacy fails.

So you are saying to the Dominion's knowledge no parts of the treaty have been broken yet?
