The story takes place a year before the events of  This RP is a Legend of Nirn: World of Ruin spin-off and relies somewhat on established World of Nirn lore.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Background: (will only appear in the first chapter)

The Year is 4E 227, two years after the secession of High Rock, Morrowind and the Summerset Isles, who together formed the Adamantine empire. An Empire dedicated to the protection of Tamriel’s natural and magical beauty. This is because the old empire, The Imperial Empire discovered and unlocked the powers of the Dwemer. And has in turn been able to create marvellous new wonderful technology like airships, cars and electrical power (here called Beaumanic power) and so on, however because of the sudden implementation of the technology in everyday life there has been an invisible power vacuum that took away most of the Emperor’s powers and distributed them over Elder Council members and a rich new class of industrialists. But let’s go back in time a bit.

Emperor ‘Mantius Mede I’ is the son of ‘Titus Mede II’ the last emperor who was murdered by a Dark Brotherhood member.

The year is 4E 218, Mantius (now in the present day, an older man with failing health) was destined to prove himself as an emperor and agreed to fund the research of a Breton Scholar by the name of Beauman to develop and this new technology the scholar found in a crashed Dwemer Airship outside of Cheydinhal. This all happened under the codename: ‘Numidium Project’

The Breton mage was able to strip the ship’s power source from the wreckage and analyse it in detail in a secret study room in the Arcane University of the Imperial City. Then after weeks of testing and Analysing ‘the cylinder’ as it got to be called because of its shape, the mages who came from all corners of the Empire were able to duplicate for the first time: Dwemer Technology.

This massive success in the field of science didn’t go unnoticed by the Emperor and agreed in turn to ‘militarise’ the new found power in secret, so they could launch a surprise attack on the Aldmeri Dominion.

Soon after. The Summerset Isles were sacked by the first Imperial Legion Airship Battlefleet. The Elves down below on the ground were no match against the power of these machines of war and were forced into a corner, they surrendered almost immediately.

Now with the Aldmeri Dominion kneeling before him, The Emperor broke the White-Gold Concordat that was forced unto the empire after the Great War. And established in its turn:

‘The Mede Agreement’ Which dictates: The Provinces of Valenwood and Summerset Isles will once again be part of the Empire, Thalmor Activities are from now on suspended and banned within the Empire and the Worship of Talos will once again be allowed.

A big smack in the face of the once mighty Aldmeri Dominion but not one they could deny, it was that or the risk of Total Destruction.

After that. There was some uproar among the mage communities in Tamriel. Questioning the ethics used by the Empire to achieve its goal of a once again united Tamriel, though it went mostly unnoticed. But over the years, things seemed to get bleaker and bleaker. Cities expanded, after the opening of factories and the flow of new Beaumanic powered devices and technology flourished.

Chorrol became the number one car manufacturer city of the entire Empire, Riften became its largest Munition deliverer and Valenwood’s Forests were cut down bit by bit for the hungry industrial machine that had been set into motion. By 225 A lot of people seemed discontent. Uprisings in Valenwood were brutally turned down with the power of the law and also censored for the rest of the Empire. But it was when Beauman, the original developer of the technology committed suicide out of guilt for what he had done to Nirn, it sparked the Secession movement. Mages burned down a factory in High Rock, proclaiming that the whole Province would be cleansed from those ‘filthy killers of beauty’. And after the event known as the Blue week, The imperial forces had to fall back from High Rock which then immediately declared independence. Not even a few days later the Summerset Isles also seceded from the Empire, seeing it as the perfect timing. And lastly Morrowind also managed to get rid of Imperial Dominance.

Together these new nation created the: Adamantine Empire, ruled from the Derinni/Adamantine Tower in High Rock. The Adamantine tower is the argued to be the oldest structure standing on Tamriel, it was here were the divines decided how they would shape Tamriel.

They named the Breton Arch Mage, Eren Chasseur as their first ‘Arch mage lord emperor’

<p class="MsoNormal">But in turn of this ‘betrayal’ the Imperial Empire responded by banning all magical activities within its borders. Mages who resisted either stood their ground and died or fled for the either Morrowind, High Rock or the Summerset Isles. The Arcane University was Burned to the ground, and so were most mage guilds. The only magical structure still standing in the old Empire is the College of Winterhold which was able to protect itself behind a magical barrier.

<p class="MsoNormal">Since 4E 225 there hasn’t been any advance from either side. All that really changed is that in the Imperial Empire things just go as they used to go and the Adamantine Empire was busy restoring old ideas and ideals, and also rebuilding.

<p class="MsoNormal">In 4E 226 the son of Eren Chasseur, ‘Eren Chasseur II’ died of old age. The father had outlived his only son, this would cause trouble later on…

<p class="MsoNormal">Synopsis:

<p class="MsoNormal">But that brings us to the Current day. 4E 227

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">In this day and age of technological progress and expansion, the will to explore new and strange worlds is bigger than ever.

<p class="MsoNormal">One of such individuals in Professor, Plato Mandeville. An Imperial Scholar at the Imperial Collage of Natural Philosophy in Leyawiin, the body of education that was formed after the ban on magic. His field of Expertise is ‘the Akavir’. For years he had been fascinated by the land and its inhabitants. And finally after months of waiting he had received a green light from the collage. The Green light for an expedition that is.

<p class="MsoNormal">Funded by the Empire ‘and’ The College this had to be the biggest step in science since the invention of Beaumanic power. He would receive the latest equipment which would include a Camera Obscura device and a radio operating system. Though he himself doesn’t really know how it all works. But as the cherry on top, he even received his state funded (own) airship, The Terra Draco. An airship with no military function, and the first of its kind.

<p class="MsoNormal">All the professor needs now, is a crew of explorers, airship crew, Imperial accountants and scholars. And that’s where YOU come in…
