Info What if Alduin Won? An RP Idea

[Mr.Self Destruct]

Hmm, I'm enticed by the idea of an underground network of guerrilla fighters counselled and lead by Paarthurnax. I'm assuming the Greybeards and the remaining Blades would be in on this as well? I can already picture it now, refugees huddling in the shelter of caves, always on the run, always watching the sky. I'm thinking of a character already, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited. I suggest that the Dovahkiin failed to stop Alduin at Sovngarde, just to make things a tad bit more dramatic and better story wise.

And for a name, what of "Darkest of Days"?

 

[Geel-Kajin]

Yes- and an interesting conflict would be that of the greybeards and blades. Original enemies, will they attempt to hamper each other in their quest? Perhaps a plotline could revolve around the players "unifying" the two factions.

Also, it would be cool if more factions were created for RP purposes, each one of us joining a specific one or freelancing.

I was going to make it so he was killed either when he fought Alduin at High Hrothgar or Sovngarde.

I was going to include the Blades and Greybeards. The rp becomes a 5-sided fight. The Blades, The Greybeards, The Dragons, The few remaining Stormcloaks led by Ulfric and the Argonian/Redguard group that's still trying to destroy the dragons. Of course there would also be freelancers. The Blades become complete dragon hunters, and if you were to join them they would continually try to murder Paarthunax. The Greybeards and their leader teach people the way of the voice, though they try to avoid conflict themselves. The Stormcloaks try to expel all the other groups from Skyrim but do not care about the rest of Tamriel. They want both the Blades and Greybeards out, as they have been accepting non-Nords. The Argonia(Black Marsh)/Hammerfell alliance has spread all over Tamriel and is opposed strongly by the Stormcloaks and dragons. They are not on either side in the Blades/Greybeard thing. If you join the dragons then you will serve one of the Dragon Priests and they will tell you what to do. They, obviously, side with the dragons.

Darkest of Days is nice. I have a friend who came up with another one I like. I was thinking of making it have to do with the dragon language somehow.

Really liking the idea - EXTREME immersion.

 

[Mr.Self Destruct]

I think the Greybeards and the Blades could set aside their differences here, they did so at the peace council. I don't think we should have too many factions, I was thinking the underground network of guerrilla fighters lead by Paarthurnax which was counselled by the Greybeards and protected by the Blades. We could have surviving legions of Imperial troops on the run, trying to find any survivors and help fend off the dragon menace. I'd imagine the Stormcloaks would be part of the Underground, they do specialize in guerrilla tactics.

Than we have the Dovah and their loyalists, this is just my two cents here.

 

[Phenomenal TJ]

Either they set aside their differences, or one of the factions is essentially wiped out early on. I can almost picture it as a RISK sort of deal from what I've read in this thread. Seems like a war with many, many, many, fronts. But, also a large world with plenty to come up with in terms of story, deceit, etc.

 

[The_Madgod]

I was going to have them as enemies since the Blades would be worried Paarthunax might return to Alduin, so they would really want to eliminate him. The Imperials quickly fell apart and the remainder joined the resistance groups throughout Tamriel. Ulfric is still after the throne and is worried the other factions may claim it if they eliminate Alduin. He's been greatly weakened, and will play just a bit part. I'm wondering if I should even let poeple be Stormcloaks. As for the Hammerfell/Argonia alliance, they put up the best fight of any of the other resistance groups and still exist all over Tamriel, so I really wanted to include them. If I decided that we should probably be unable to join the Dragons then I would have my character join up with them. I was also thinking about having them convince the Blades to just focus on Alduin and not Paarthunax. So probably just the freelancers, the dragons, the blades, the greybeards and the organized resistance led by the Argonia/Hammerfell alliance. And I was going to have it turn into two factions, with the Alliance convincing the Blades and Greybeards to work together and having the dragons crush the remaining Stormcloak leaders, bringing the troops into the Alliance.

Stormcloaks wiped out early on, later on the Argonians and Redguards and Orcs get everyone else to work together for a while.

 

[The_Madgod]

I'm gonna flip a coin to decide between two name ideas, one given by my friend and self destructs, and then I'll create the thread.

 

[The_Madgod]

Link isn't working I have it up though.

 

[Mini Mongo]

[The_Madgod]

[Mini Mongo]

Cheers guys.

 

[The_Madgod]

Yes, you could join. You don't need to ask and thanks Morgantic copy/paste wasn't working and I didn't see your post so I wrote the whole url down.

 

[The_Madgod]

I liked the Darkest title and the Rift one has something to do with an idea I have so I'm using them both.

 

[Mini Mongo]

Thanks mate, just so I know who are the OP's my fellow Daedric Prince friend? XD

 

[The_Madgod]

Right now just myself I'll decide in a little when more people have responded, though I really like your rp posts so you have a good chance of being one.

 

[Mini Mongo]

Sweet cheers man, just added my character card which is yes..........GERAN! I couldn't resist, and I mean I can't be Sheogorath lol

 

[The_Madgod]

Too bad, Sheogorath would've fit in perfectly. The worlds already gone mad.
