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.

QUOTE(Alexander @ Mar 21 2008, 12:27 PM)  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"

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.

I was wondering if anyone would recognize the names back in the chapter  QUOTE(milanius @ Mar 21 2008, 08:45 PM)  QUOTE(milanius @ Mar 3 2008, 11:11 PM)  QUOTE(The Metal Mallet @ Mar 3 2008, 03:32 AM)  Wow, I wasn't expecting a successful assassination attempt.

I told you so!  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 post has been edited by Kiln: Mar 22 2008, 12:35 AM

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.
