Morrowind, A fanfic Options

[Alexander]

Another fanfic about Morrowind you must be asking yourself? Do we really need yet another one? I've asked myself the same question
As some of you might know I tried a hand at writing some two+ years back, resulting in two chapters of something I didn't really like looking back. Though even back then, I'd had the idea for another, a different fanfiction.

For some reason despite the fact that I was very much convinced I was not a good writer, this idea stayed with me through all this time and kept nagging at me. Then early this year I decided to simply give it a go again, and the result is something I'm actually quite fond of. This is the result.

It's a fan fiction about Morrowind, set in the time after the events in the game Morrowind but before the events in Oblivion. It's told from the perspective of three people who play a large part in Morrowind's future, at least the future I've created with some parts told by other characters.

As you'll notice, some events in chapters start a little while before the end of the past chapters, just a heads up there.

And lastly, before I bore you all to death with my rants I'd just like to extend a very large thank you, firstly to everyone who ever read "Alexander in Morrowind" and told me it was good (whether they meant it or not ) and second a very special thank you to Treydog who sacrificed quite a bit of his spare time in order to proof read this story, and who played the role of Editor for me. I'm very grateful for that.

Now, on to the story.







The year is 3E 432 many things have changed since the return of the lord Nerevar, and even more things are changing. Four Great Houses have a new head. The Tribunal gods are slain. Temple doctrine is falling and failing rapidly. Oppression of other faiths has been removed. Many rumours float around, rumours of things unheard of in the very near past; The lord Nerevar wants to abolish slavery, Indoril generals are taking bribes and forsaking their honour, some or all of the Tribunal gods were killed by the lord Nerevar, the lord Nerevar used the powers of the heart of Lorkhan to make himself immortal and godlike, secret cults are rising in Cyrodiil, Imperial legions are being recalled to Cyrodiil to quell the unrest, king Helseth poisoned the last king, Mehrunes Dagon has come to earth in the guise of queen Barenziah, Sheogorath has started a love affair with Azura, Bosmer everywhere are planning the end of the world, Orcs have taken to worshiping Khajiit instead of Malacath.

Some rumours are a bit wilder then others of course, but if only half of them are true the future promises to be spectacular.

This story starts in Ebonheart, in the Grand Council chambers where the lord Nerevar is preparing for what could be the most important council meeting in many years.

As much as Helseth seems despicable so far Telvanni warlords, no matter how 'benevolent' their goals seem, aren't doing anything really to appear more humanitarian. Securing their lands? Nice enough. Stealing the land from other 2 houses on the island with the aid of vampires? Machiavellian. Also, what will become of Ashlander tribes who will trapped within the new Ghostfence? "Oh, so sorry, you are now a part of our mini-empire. Should you not like it in here with us, you have two choices: we will forcibly relocate you via Magical Train or..." [fill in the blanks with more heads].

They aren't benevolent people, they never were. Freeing slaves won't make an ***hole be any less of an ***hole. Events might turn out as a bloodbath involving hirelings of ***holes on all sides.

Another amusing fact: Ghostfence can't [and in fact, it didn't ] stop people with levitation spells; same goes for coastal region and individuals who have Water Breathing readied... now, imagine a strike force, well equipped and prepared, with enough solutions ready for any scenario, coming out of the blue sea right behind Sadriht Mora. No big deal, only a regiment of Redoran honor guards, with decent supply of defenses against magical attacks. 4 hours later, if they don't have anything else but "Burn to the ground and retreat" as orders, there won't be much left of that city. Same goes for any coastal stronghold that Telvanni have.

In any case, I doubt that the Redorans or Hlaalu will just sit idly while Telvanni are attempting to take over their land, including the best brothel in the entire Vvardenfell.

Hehe, I absolutely love reading your theories Mil, really enjoy it

(So as a note to everyone else, please don't hesitate to post your theories, or pm them to me, I'd love to hear them, though I can't promise I'll explain things or get into it too much )

As to your post Mil, of course I wouldn't presume to know what Magister Fyr is thinking there, but perhaps they've found ways to counter levitation going above the ghostfence? I mean someone who can create a spell that can turn the allegiance of a Vampire could possibly do more. Pure speculation there though

And as to the redoran troops, perhaps the Telvanni are simply planning to wipe all the other houses out? I mean the Imperials certainly are in no state to interfere in local politics with all the trouble they're in. But again, that's pure speculation on my part
