The Shadow Knight, Book Two of the Knight Series Options

[Zalphon]

http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4424&st=0 is the link to the original story. Since none of the stories are canon, I am going to alter the story-line here-and-there a bit. About Zalphon's rise to power, because in no in-game books does it say anything about a lich trying to conquer Tamriel (Mannimarco just wanted to kill Arkay).

Prologue

Zalphon's army of the dead have become a serious problem in the Black Marsh. In the Obsidian Tower, he discovered a suit of Ancient Daedric Armor that belonged to his great grandfather, Korvinus Broodikus. After imbueing it with the souls of many argonians, it has been repaired. His power in the dark arts has grown since the Battle of Lunarscar. As has his swordsmanship. He is a lich. His flesh is rotted, his eyes are sunken and pallid, but he is extremely powerful physically. Every day he waits. For his old friend, Quick-Strike...

Quick-Strike has been a wanderer since the Battle of Lunarscar. J'skooma dilligently following him. They've travelled across Tamriel, searching. For Zalphon. Over the long years, the Argonian Assassin has become a pious believer of the Nine. But, he has become bitter and harsh, due to the betrayal Zalphon caused.

J'skooma has travelled with Quick-Strike since Lunarscar. They both wandered the lands, seeking their old friend. He had finally found his place in Nirn. To save Tamriel from the darkest thing they'd ever face. The Shadow Knight...

A new hero arises. Tanys Shadowblade. A Crusader using his powers to defend Tamriel. He is a young Dunmer seeking to protect Nirn from the Shadow Knight. He is young and niave. But he seeks to join a couple of heroes who supposedly fought Zalphon in a Nord Village in Skyrim. The question is, will Shadowblade live up to his family's expectations? His entire family had been Dark Brotherhood Assassins or Devout Followers of Mannimarco or Clerics of Mehrunes Dagon. Will he live up to his family name? Or will he create a new one? Only time will tell...

Tamriel is in grave danger... Will the heroes pick up their weapons one more time? Will they be brave enough to face the wicked soon-to-be god? The fate of Tamriel is in their hands, hopefully they save it...
