The draugr of Skyrim are rising up and leaving the tombs, making their way across the holds, killing and consuming anyone in their path. It is nearly impossible to overpower them, as the remaining pockets of Imperial Legionaries and Stormcloaks can testify, via numerous reports. No one knows the reason, but there are whispers that a great undead Dragon, Vaerotugotha (vay-row-two-gah-tha) has heard of Alduin's fall and is attempting to raise his army of the undead to take over all of Nirn, starting with Skyrim. Already weakened from the battle with Alduin and the war amongst themselves the people of the land are vulnerable. Now, a massive exodus to the heavily fortified city of Markarth is underway, where those who survive the journey can find shelter and protection from the walking dead until a solution is found.
Until then, it is every man, mer, and beast for himself. As they flee the undead hordes, several travelers stumble upon each other and band together in this fight for survival. Putting differences and personal gain aside they embark the journey as one, protecting their lives and the lives of their companions to ensure the arrival at Markarth and survival against this growing, raging evil.

I'd like us to all focus on fighting the draugr as we make our way to safely. Character development and interactions are of course essential, but let's throw in some gratuitous draugr-killing battle scenes! If you need help, reference ANY zombie movie. ;D
All the general RP rules will apply, but I have some specific guidelines, too.
1.) This is an RP I'd like to complete, hence the "goal". We will all travel together and arrive in Markarth. There, the RP will end. If it went well and there is interest, I will make a sequel.
2.) It'd be really fun to make the journey as accurate as possible so in addition to the UESP, feel free to consult this very cute but very accurate map of Skyrim's terrain as we travel from one hold to the next.
3.) I ask that if you apply, please be somewhat active. I totally understand that things come up and if you have to be absent for a while, just let us know. We will keep your place warm for you. However, if you drop off the face of the earth for more than a week without notice, you will be assumed dead (IN THE RP), and your place will be up for grabs. However, if a emergency prevented you from letting us know about your absence, message me. If we can work something out you can rejoin the group as if you had just gotten lost.
4.) I will start off with seven players, but I will keep a reserved list in the event someone drops out or dies.
5.) Incoming players can take on 1 or 2 characters (e.g. your CC and a canon follower) provided you don't confuse yourself or anyone else. If you are a really experienced RPer, you can have as many OCs as you can handle. You know your own limits.
6.) The story is the journey. HAVE FREAKIN' FUN OR I'LL TRIP YOU AS WE RUN FROM THE DRAUGR.
