I have had this in development for a while. I feel it is ready to present to the forum and only hope it isn't turned down immediately. If you have any suggestions/questions then by all means post them.
***************************************************************
It is the 5th era. The 3rd era ended with the closing of the gates of oblivion. As the gates shut, magicka faded from the world. In the 4th era, the conflicts within the empire settled and people began to accept the new changes. The 5th era begins, and magicka has resurfaced in Nirn. After a whole era without it, there are mixed feelings towards those that have the gift. Eventually, two factions form... The Elven Nations and The Empire. It is only a matter of time before blood is shed and the two factions are at war.
The Elven Nations have the benefits of the gifted on their side, and initiate a devastating pincer attack on the empire. The two factions struggle with the Elven Nations gaining more and more territory. But nobody ever bothered to ask why magicka has returned. Soon a terrible enemy will take their opportunity to invade the war-torn continent of Tamriel.
The Elven Nations are composed of the Dunmer, Bosmer, Altmer, and Bretons.
The Empire is composed of the Imperials, Redguards, Nords, Orcs, Khajit, and Argonians.
The Tech level we are looking at is equivalent to Earth's 1920's and 30's with a few exceptions. Nirn had the benefit of the Dwemer, who had possessed technology such as robots and even walkers (such as the large ballistae with legs seen in Morrowind.) Walkers may be used, but they are difficult to operate, and therefore are few in numbers. They have light armor and weaponry and are used primarily for infantry support/anti infantry situations.
On the western front, the Elven Nations are steadily gaining territory. This is due to the large amount of battles taking place here. The skirmishes consist of smaller numbers that can easily be overcome with use of magical force.
On the eastern front, neither side is gaining a good hold. This is due to the rough terrain that limits vehicle movement, and the overall hatred the two races here have for each other. Battles here are more concentrated and very intense.
This
map displays the fronts and battles/places of conflict.
As you can see, roads are important, as are towns and villages that are too close to the frontline.
This RP takes place not only on Vvardenfell, but on Tamriel as well. To make this RP possible, more imagination will be required, and I strongly reccomend you consult the maps located at
The Imperial Library.
The outcome of the battles will be determined by the people participating in a planning thread.
The neutral people that are caught here, like in any situation, are affected. Some more so than others. They will mostly be protesting the pointlessness of fighting one another, but those closer to the fronts may be forced into battle to defend their homes. Sadly, there is no neutral territory for these people to hide in.
This is not a good vs. evil RP. I expect there to be heroes and villains on both sides.
