Tamriel. A once peaceful world. Now a world torn apart by war.

After the Battle of Lake Rumare and the ascension of the new Mede Emperor, uneasiness grew throughout the ten provinces of Tamriel, for many did not approve of the bastard son of Titus Mede II taking the throne of Cyrodiil and the Empire. Many thought him a fool. Others thought him to be unworthy for the throne. Some even believed he wasn't truly the Emperor's son. But through some miracle, the Emperor managed to establish peace while trying to convince the rulers of other provinces to join the Empire. For once, it seemed as if there might be peace in Tamriel.

Until Hammerfell began turning against the Empire.

One by one, the kingdoms of Hammerfell turned their backs on the Empire and it's ruler, calling him a liar, a heretic, and a thief. It was a surprise to no one when all of Hammerfell finally declared war just over a month after Sentinel turned against the Empire. Still reeling from their fight against the Necromancer and led by a Emperor who was hesitant about sending armies into his homeland, the Empire responded a little slowly to the threat until jolted awake by reports of an amassing army. The High General Claudius Tharn retaliated by sending large armies into Hammerfell but was surprised by the sheer ferocity of the Redguard army. The Empire was driven back but still maintained a firm hold on the Imperial half border, with the Redguard armies keeping an iron grip on their own lands. The war ground to a bloody stalemate, with the border constantly changing hands from Imperial to Redguard, often overnight.

However, a new threat spurred the Empire back into action. It was a shock to all of the Empire when the Necromancer's former lieutenant, Novo Interitus, escaped the Black Rose Prison and disappeared off the face of the earth less than a day after entering Imperial borders. Worse still was the return of the Stormcloak army, led by a man who had seemingly overcome death itself, and the return of the Civil War he brought with him. Between the three threats, the already weakened Empire was stretched thin and it's people grew fearful, looking for answers and comfort they never truly received.

But our story does not begin with the worries and troubles of an Empire. No, our story instead begins in a small tavern in a town just beyond the shores of Lake Rumare...

Rules: The house always wins. (What I say goes.)

Synopsis: After meeting with their employers in a tavern at Aleswell, the company has found that they have been hired to track down the infamous necromancer Novo Interitus, who escaped the Black Rose Prison and disappeared almost two months before. To find the whereabouts of the necromancer, the group has turned it's attention to the convicts that escaped with him, namely the man named Rowan, who turned against the Empire and helped the prisoners escape for reasons unknown. The group set out for his last whereabouts, the city of Bruma, but were stopped along the way when they were attacked by a war hound sent by unknown aggressors. After a brief battle, the group subdued the beast but were unable to discover who had trained it, and ultimately continued on their way to Bruma. They arrived just outside the gates before sundown and have just arrived in an inn in preparation to stay for the night, in order to find out what happened to the healer and where he has hidden himself. The story continues...

Note: This is set four years after the events of The Fallen and about four years before The Heist. Anyone new to the series is advised to read or skim over these RPs for details over past events that are not officially canon.
