Intro

Small guilds. It takes many, many years if ever they are to be known on Tamriel. One, of these few, would perhaps, get a topic or two in the courier. Maybe even get up to the size of the fighters guild. That’s unlikely. Guilds can seem small, but when you think about it, they are greater than what you could have ever imagined. There’s about five or ten members in one guild house, and one guild house in each city. There are more than sixty members in one country. That’s six hundred guild members in Tamriel.

It was built into the side of a small mountain in Morrowind, just on the shore of the big “O” of water around Vvardenfel. It was built with dwemer metal and bronze. This came to the name The Bronze Guild.

Archers, knights, wizards, all are accepted into this guild. One would become an initiate by simply finding the place, or being chosen, if by chance seen doing something the guild approves of highly. Once an initiate, he or she would have to train for three months until they are full-fledged members, and gain entrance to a small area.

It was all training equipment. Nothing else. No way to describe the plain, dirty and loud room. Blood on punch bags from over-practicing the fists. Doesn’t even look like anything was ever replaced. It was like most training grounds.

One’s initiation is approved by the chairman, Mayuhns Sayn, a strange dark elf with an odd personality. The whole reason this guild was formed was so he could somehow end this other guild. This other guild, that he had a strong hate for, was big. It was monstrously big, compared to his. Though it’s size is great, it isn’t known. It isn’t existent to the people of Tamriel. Only Mayuhns Sayn, and his close friend, an imperial. Hanadam Hitius.

Would this soon be leaked out to the other guild members of The Bronze Guild?

“I’d like to be left alone for the night. I have a lot on my mind.”

Hitius nodded. He was somewhat depressed.

“Goodnight, then.”

“Goodbye.”

This confused him. As Hitius sat at his desk, he wondered what he could of possibly meant by “Goodbye.” This made him feel no better. Mayuhns didn’t feel too grand either. He sighed as he looked up to a dark corner on the ceiling. A light reflected off his gold goblet. It was quick, a sliver arrow in his chest. Mayuhns made almost no sound. His killer jumped down and left the room. She quickly climbed down the cliff, and ran off on the water after casting a spell.

The next day…

Hitius set up a meeting with all members of The Bronze Guild. It was a small room with about thirty chairs. It was mid section with multiple doors that led elsewhere. They were all to meet him at around eleven in the morning. He would come in around that time.

He would soon reveal the secret that was kept. As well as a long quest they would have to take with him.

Plot

It starts out with seven or nine characters. First there’s a meeting with Hitius where he explains to us what’s happened to Mayuhns and his secret, saying that this one guild is called Red Altar Worshippers, and a ritual will take place in which their head leader, name unknown, would become immortal, and almost half of Morrowind could be either destroyed or under the power of him. He also tells us that we cannot let anyone know of this. If word were to get to them that they would be attacked, the ritual would start sooner (We have four days to defeat them). Then changes the name of the guild to Keepers of the Secret. After that, we get ready and leave.

(More to be decided)

Uh, we're in the middle of another RP atm. From what I've seen, usually two RPs at a time don't normally work out. Sorry GNA.

Damnit.

Man, I always feel like a jerk when we say two RPs won't work and automatically dismiss so many good ideas. We worked two RPs before, I think, and this one looks kinda cool...

I'd give it a try.

EDIT: also, feel free to join the current one, if you want.

Really? I'm not sure. It's so far into the RP that I don't think I would be able to get in somehow.

we definately need more people, and a lot of our current members came in pretty late. You'll be fine.

Tell me about; you have no idea how long I was hovering about waiting for Cerpin's reply.

Heh, I'm in. I don't think I have any ideas for characters that I could work into THIH, unless there was another timewarp.

So meet the Orcish knight, Gro-Bolg Madrukh.
*dodges a big green fist.*
,,You shall adress me as SIR Madrukh! And it is Orsimer, not Orc!"

indeed. two rps dont usually last long 'round here. i'll pass until this starts to show a little promise, then i shall contribute.

wow give it a chance people...its worked many times. we only need a handful of people anyway..

has it? almost a single thread of "A Forgotten Khajiit".

no one's stopping you from trying. simply pointing out a point is all. incorporating new people to an already started RP is not that hard really, but do as you wish.

"A Forgotten Khajiit" was a complete flop. Back then I was new to Roleplaying and was horrible at stories, plots and ideas which is the reason almost no one joined.

This is new, and better. I plan on making this one work. I'm also getting a headstart on the plot before actually beginning the roleplay.

I hope you plan to keep it fairly free form though. Probably the main reason why our main RPs last so long (for better or for worse) is because our plot is very loose and fairly easy to adapt. Sure, we do have main goals to accomplish, but we seem to definitely take our time to get to it.

Heck, we're all ready at our 11th Playground and the main conflict hasn't even arisen yet!

21st if you count the first part of the rp...

but yeah if you plan on heading an rp, perhaps you should only stick to one.. up to you though.

i might make a character for this one later. the plot seems entertaining.

I also have a map showing starting location for us. After that you can go anywhere with any plan you have to defeat each other. I'm planning on having either side win.

well if we're going to do it that free form... well no one is going to want their character to die... so, we might just need to agree as a whole to not allow our characters be immortal...

Yeah, eventualy someone will die. It can't be "U MISSED LOL" all the time, so none of that.

im so very confused.

since the story is going to unfold unplanned, either side can win, this means you have to be fair with your character and you may actually ahve to allow them to die at some point.

raggard wolfbite fears not death.

Only thing planned is there will be some big battles and if the Red Altar wins, we skip some months, the members of the Bronze Guild either dead, cowaring in hiding or manipulated on the enemies side. All of Morrowind is under their control, and most of it's people fighting the other countries, slowly taking over Tamriel. If the Bronze Huild wins, all of the guild is dead, and no one knows anything about it. All they know is that there was some big unkown war. Theres also more guild houses in the country.

I will start the RP tommorow, because theres more to explain but I'm too tired.

on the map, the color closest resembling red 'worshipers of the red altar'... what are those? like minibases?

So I just added one kind of a woman! I hope she will fit in!

Pretty much, yes. The main base is the actual guild house, which is dug in from the bottom of a mountain. The one in the middle of the western mountains is a large camp, no actual buildings besides tents and the such. The third, north, by the bay is a small military base, one being a weapons shed, another being a barracks, a couple of tents and in the middle a small manor; it appears bigger than the guild house from the outside, but size does not compare.

haha yeah it was only two or three, dan.

btw i totally accidentally made reggard look really dumb lol

that happens alot with my characters.

It's wasn't as much that Reggard was being dumb as it was Ahn being racist; he hates nords.

ah yes, but still.

I perfer OCC: Out (of) Character Comment. Anyway, THIH II can go for twelve hours (has on several occassions) without new posts so it's not that remarkable for an hour's absence on part of everyone. *Is secretly smug in the fact that he has more grammatically correct post than most than most*

That part isn't needed. It's a repeat of the last two words.

sneaky revan. that escaped my eyes the first time i read it.

Crap, I don't make a small mistake like that too often. Normally I catch myself..... Oh well, life goes on regardless. *I suppose this trick only works on people with the space ship wreck skin selected rather than the boring tower*

are phiona and the army right outside the bronze guild?

They are in the same mountain range, but not in the immediate vicinity. Phiona was the assassin who slew the leader of the Bronze Guild. Therefore, she is to provide the army with the whereabouts of the Guildhall. Look at the map, there is a small army of the Red Altar near the KOTS Guildhall.

yeah.

Interesting idea here:

the Red Altar gets the location of the Bronze Guildhall, and sends the army after it. The KOTS loses the battle and scatters throughout the countryside in small camps, but the Red Altar thinks that they are eradicated...

CURSE YOU, FLOOD CONTROL!!!

Anyway, Phi and Dagon will be in Mournhold for awhile. Then Phi will probably go back into the wilderness, but play the part of an innocent Bosmeri scout who has an.... erm, weakness for certain mer (not particularly men).

Dagon will keep storytelling or lounging around Mournhold until someone stumbles onto him.

Does it sometimes take three days for someone to post? Not to sounds impatient, but it's been a long time, and the RP cannot move on unless we figure something out.

I am usualy willing to wait longer if I knew what the reason was that someone isn't logging on for a while. But I have no information on the whereabouts of minque, so it's hard. Should I wait a little longer, or should we make it so she comes in late and we tell her/ she comes in latter after we are scattered from the loss of the battle with the Red Altar?

By the way, did you make a freakishly long post in the playground and due to flood control you lost all of it?

you can usually hit back on the browser and you don't lose your message...

But anyway, you can go ahead without minque. For one, her character's allegiance was never established, and if she turns out to be part of the kots, then one of our characters can fill her in.

No I didn't lose a post, I just got very annoyed that I can't just jump from one thread to the other at lightning speed and start posting again.....

Alright then. Tommorow Hitius will break the news.

I see no reason why Reggard can't. Just a friendly tip, capitalize and bold-face the name of your character; it helps if you write for multiple characters in one post.

cool, then unless i hear otherwise, ill make it happen. i just need hitius to say so....


and yeah ill remember to

also... let's let everyone in the bronze guild have time to react before the attack happens, or as gunsnarmor would say:


GunsnArmor says:
"Okay, let's go out there and fight!"

"But I haven't even reacted to the news hes dead yet-"

"That's your problem."

Will someone drag Lexie along while I´m away? Danny? You normally have a good interpretation of my charachters!

Hey, when does this all take place?

E 358

Before Oblivion or after Oblivion (how far?)

Wait...was Oblivion 433 or 344? Becuase it's supposed to be about 14-15 years after it.

Anyways, I was thinking that maybe Hitius is interupted by Reggard when Reggard sees the Red Altar army approaching, perhaps? After we're scattered all over Morrowind (after the battle we could skip one or two days) and we are regrouped, he tells us, and also renames the guild The Keepers of the Secret.
