Parts: I, II 

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: Following the group's arrival at the City of Bruma in search of Rowan, one of the few men who knows the location of the Necromancer, Novo Interitus, the company stopped in a local inn to stay the night before setting out the next day for to speak with a priest at the former Chapel of Talos in hopes of finding where the former healer of the Black Rose Prison had fled. After avoiding a suspicious Thalmor officer, who had appointed himself Primate of the Temple, they spoke with a priest who agreed to tell them of Rowan's whereabouts so long as they did not harm him. The group agreed and it was revealed that Rowan had fled back to his homeland, Skyrim, in search of a powerful vampire. Promptly setting off in pursuit of the healer, the company charted a route to Skyrim through the Pale Pass, a mountain path hidden in the Jeralls. Unfortunately, the mercenaries were halted by a snowstorm and forced to take shelter in Sancre Tor for a few hours before they were driven out by the stronghold's undead inhabitants. The group then continued their journey to the Pale Pass, only to find that a group of ogres had taken up residence nearby, stalling their progress. The group was attempting to make it past and had nearly snuck by unnoticed when Veranwen was struck with an arrow sent by an unknown assailant. Now faced down by ogres and unseen assassins, the group must fight to repel their foes and continue their journey into Skyrim before Rowan flees again. The story continues...
