Morrowind, A fanfic Options

[Burnt Sierra]

Btw, for the $2 million dollar question, have you figured out yet who Mallam Ryon and Felisa Ulessen (the couple of Telvanni spies in Omayni) are/ were?

I seem to remember doing a few quests for them as mouths back in Morrowind.

Ulessen for Therana, that stupid skirt quest
Ryon for...was it Gothren?

Edit: Aah, just checked back in the story. Must have been Therana if she spent time working with the "mentally challenged"

[The Metal Mallet]

Wow, this story has made the days go by in a blur and I mean that in a good way!

Many of the others have summed it up quite well. The story had an amazing pace to it and I enjoyed it immensely. I definitely look forward to any future work from you.

Wow, I wasn't expecting a successful assassination attempt.

Expect the unexpected.

Maybe it wasn't even successful?

Nice touch with the 'vanishing' poison. Maybe it wasn't even poison at all.

Hate to rub it in the faces of the entire forum, but... I told you so!

There is one thing, though, I find a bit... distasteful at the very end. The notion of a Vampire overlord and supermage that is false Helseth, arguing about whether he should seek forgiveness, while the battlefield beneath them is littered with tens of thousands of corpses. All those mothers who got graves to dig, and we're engaged with Jagarn's tragic childhood... screw him and the vampire chick too, if it was my story I'd land a random Meteor Swarm right on top of their heads and it would spell out "EPIC LULZ" on the scorched ground!

Apart from that, good effort. But I really did see Nerevar faking his own death from a mile away. Best way to find the snake in the grass is to lay down, play dead and let it come near... then bite it's head off.

Hehe, we have a winner.

Mallam Ryon is mouth to Archmagister Gothren and Felisa Ulessen to Mistress Therana.

I was wondering if anyone would recognize the names back in the chapter

Hehe, yup, like I mentioned on IRC, I guess I made it a tad too obvious. Oh well


I'd also like to take the opportunity to thank you all for your great and positive feedback throughout all this. I'm very happy you all liked it and am going to put in an effort over the next few months to see if I can't come up with that sequel I mentioned earlier


Thanks for reading the story!

Amazing story Alexander, I'm glad to see that you were able to finish this one. (no disrespect intended mate, I was disappointed when you didn't continue your other story.)

I really liked the length of this particular story and the fact that there was a great balance of politics, fighting, magic, and deciet all tied into a well composed fan-fiction. I must admit that a few times I was very surprised and also amazed by the twists you'd created in the plot and a look at "Alexander's account of what happened after."

Great work mate and I'd definately read a sequel.

This was a genius story!
Thank you very much writing. This story really topped them all! You kept the chapters coming and I'm grateful for that!
Good job!!!

[minque]

Very impressive Alex! I just finished reading it and I particularly liked the way you wrapped it all up in the end. That's the way to go to write it all first and then start posting!

Anyway I'm looking forward to a sequel, and I hope that Varvur will be part of that as well, since I really have a soft spot for the Sarethi family!

I have been remiss in not commenting on the finale...and the overall story. It is a joy to read this story- every time I read it. The ending caught me by surprise, but works so well to explain some of Helseth's...peculiarities. Alexander, this one definitely needs to be in the Hall of Fame.

[Erka]

I just finished reading the story. It was great, the way well known characters who have lacked real depth in the game went very much beyond what I ecpected from their characters and I liked the way they interacted with eachother. The end was also spectacular.

[mALX]

I have not gotten a chance to read this yet, but am commenting to bring it to the top so I don't have to dig looking for it when I do get the first chance. What you have in triplicate is a creative imagination - I won't miss anything you write!

[mALX]

I haven't had time this week to catch up on this, so am bumping it to the top again so I don't have to search it out. - It has been a very hectic couple weeks!

[mALX]

Whew! I am not caught up yet, but I see the same genius for intrigue in this as was in Cyrodiil! I have to tell you reading Cyrodiil was to have experienced something, not just read it. I'll be back for more reading of this when I have more free time again!

[Lena Wolf]

Just finished reading this book - beautiful! So nice to read it in one go, too. This is an excellent bridge from Morrowind to Oblivion, which also gives the book a natural frame. Masterfully done.

[Renee]

I'm glad you bumped this, I also want to give this a read as well. Never read any of Alexander's material, yet.
