This is the first chapter in a series so stay tuned for any more chapters

This is my first real fanfic so give constructive criticism below.

This story is written in an omniscient view.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sea was rougher than usual. The captain didn't think anything of it. This was his 90th ride between solsthium. Only this time he wasn't carrying food or supplies. He was carrying Two of the most dangerous people in tamriel. One being master criminal grinloth fulthium. Another being the woman to make sure he makes it to his trial in mournhold. Setalia Nelour. Famed mercenary and slayer of 70 bandits.

The captain went down to the hold to check on grinloth. " Is the prisoner secure this morning setalia."

"Yes sir" said setalia jumping to her feat. " I've checked the locks I've searched him and knocked him out for good measure."

" Bit over the top but still at least we know he won't be escaping this ship any time soon" the captain than sat down on a crate and began to look outside.

"Sir it seems that something is troubling you" Setalia cared for the captain. He was old. Wise and in many ways reminded her of her late father.

" I've been traveling back and forth these seas for nearly 40 years. I don't think I can do this anymore. I want to retire." The captains eyes began to swell up

" Than why don't you?." Setalia inquired.

" These men. They look up to me. They practically worship me. And most of all I am there source of income. I don't know if I can do that to them." The captain burst into full tears.

" Sir you should do what makes you happy. The men will understand."

Before the captain could answer could answer the ship was struck by a barrage of cannon fire! The crew sprung into action Manning the cannons and taking aim. "Fire!" Exclaimed first mate serloth. But the cannon wasn't firing. " Sir the cannons aren't working! Get the captain!"

The captain came running out of the hold with setalia in tow. " What the hell is it!"

" Sir we are being attacked by bandit ships! And the cannons aren't working!" The captain looked around. The wind was bashing against the ship and the rain was slashing down on the crew.

" I...I don't know. All these years I never came across bandits. The cannons are fake men. Just a scare technique. Were...were doomed. Oh god..." The men began to panic. They drank. They are. They begged the divines!

Setalia sprung into action and began dishing out orders. " You two begin throwing out the gunpowder and set it on fire as well!" Serloth was furious. " Oi you! Who do you think you are! I'm not just gonna start following some order from some lady who apparently-" before serloth could finish setalia headbutt his mole ridden face.

" Your gonna do exactly as I say. Or you die. Simple as." Serloth nodded and got to work. They threw out the burning gunpowder and began to lead the bandits towards them. The bandit ship suffered minor damage thanks to the gunpowder but still have chase.

The bandit ship than began to speed up. It aimed for the ship. The men braced. And the bandit ship came ramming into the ship! Amongst all the chaos setalia jumped aboard the bandit ship and began to fight the bandits.

She unsheathed her twin swords and began to slash at Two of the bandits. She decapitated one and cut the arms off of another one. The bandit chief came blasting from the inner workings of the ship armed with a daedric Warhammer. " Where the hell did you get that!" These were more than just bandits.

" Ah Setalia Nelour. The butcher of the north. Long time no see" the bandit chief began to slowly run towards setalia.

He swung his Warhammer forward breaking through the ship. Setalia just managed to dodge it. " Do I know you shit head?"

" Obviously not!" He picked up his hammer and swung it around violently and hit setalia in the arm sending her flying.

She was not going to be able to defeat him with conventional means. " I waited 3 years for this!" Setalia was still confused. Who was this guy and how did he know her?

The chief picked her up by the collar. She took this opportunity to slash at him. Bit he just stood there and took them. He than dropped his war hammer and began punching setalia. All she could do is block to the best of her ability. Bits of her steel armour began to fly off.

Half beaten to death setalia could just watch as she saw her ship sink. " See setalia. You failed. For once you failed." She was thrown to one side and passed out from her injuries.

When she came round she saw a cell being lifted from the sea. It was grinloth fulthiums cell from the ship. He was a tall well built middle aged Nord. Covered head to toe in ebony armour. " Ah Setalia Nelour. A pleasure to meet you properly and not behind a cell."

He began to slowly walk towards her. All his men gathered round. " You see you have been causing alot of trouble for me and my organisation. And well I just can't have that kind of trouble." He drew his dagger and walked even closer.

" But perhaps I could find som- oh who am I kidding that's just cliche!" He thrust his dagger into setalias stomach. She screeched in pain.

" You...wo...won't g...get away with t-this!" Setalia struggled to hold on to her life.

" How? What are you going to do! Bleed on me! Well you will bleed but thankfully not on me. But this conversation has gone on far too long. Look you managed to get me to monalogue! Throw her over board."

Setalia was thrown into the icey depths of the ocean. Battered and bruised she wanted to give up but couldn't. Something was keeping her alive...

So guys what do you think? Be sure to leave honest criticism and improvements! Thank you for your time

I want to start a creative guessing and some kind mind testing round about what would change if some characters would have chosen another path, i want to start with Ulfric Stormcloak cause he is one of the most critical Characters, and he reminds me about about the figure Jackson Teller of Sons of Anarchy. What do you think would have happened if Ulfric became a greybeard? Especially thinking of the Civil War and the Thalmor.

You know, I'm always on the lookout for inspiration and fun within my favourite TES game - Skyrim. As it stands, I've spiced up the game with all sorts of mods that enabled me to do all sorts of things, mainly, creating and playing with what I fondly call Custom Classes.

You all know the usual class system. Warrior, mage, rogue, ranger, assassin, paladin... the list goes on and on. What I'm looking for, however, are classes that aren't generally found on those lists. Custom ones you thought out, created and tested. Even though a game like Skyrim doesn't feature classes in the traditional sense, you always create and evolve your character with certain sort of guidelines in mind. Those eventually evolve into something you could call a class.

Now, I'm gonna list some examples of mine below to show you what I mean exactly and then you tell me your ideas.

The Dwemer Cyborg

A crazed scientist who uses animunculus parts to augment his body. For this, I use a mod that lets you equip armour in the style of Dwemer limbs and such. To this end I am also using a couple magic mods to emulate such things as a flamethrower or a steam vent amongst other "beam-based" destruction magic (Midas Magic in particular is nice for this).

Outfitted with an animunculus body and more often than not a Dwemer helmet and some Dwemer weaponry as well as certain kinds of magic, this guy is a force to be reckoned with.

The Dread Warlock

This is the story of a mage turned evil. After being rejected by the College of Winterhold for his dark arts in conjuration, he strives to acquire the most powerful and destructive spells imaginable to, in the end, rain down hell on all of Skyrim and rule the land. He tries to acquire every spell he can - the more spells he's got at his disposal the more versatile he is, after all. To this end I use an array of magic mods, most notably, again, Midas Magic, which features an end-of-the-world spell, devilishly hard to acquire but my ultimate goal whenever I play the Dread Warlock.

The Alchemist

Plain and simple, the alchemist fights with an unfair edge all the time. He brews and packs all sorts of potions and the most potent poisons. He deceives his enemies by only fighting with a dagger but when it hits, his target dies in seconds. Usually wears either cloth or the lightest of armour to accommodate for all the phials he's carrying.

The Peasant

A lowly person in the eyes of most, a member of the common folk. But there is pride in his ways and soul. He utilizes everyday commodities to strike down his foes while trying to sell his crops, always wandering until he finds his incentive on where to go.

Usually a class I use as a placeholder whenever I can't decide just what to do. Somewhere down the line I'll switch classes and spend perk points though.

The Druid

An expert in summoning the creatures of the wild while being versatile in most fields, be it alchemy, beneficial magick or a fight with a bow. Usually wears a hooded robe and a staff, sometimes accompanied by a bow.

These are only some of my classes. Some are standard, others extravagant. I also used paladins with heavy armour, sword, shield and restoration magic, stout warriors transforming into werewolves and vampire lords of course. But also other more deceitful ones such as the illusionist or the contract killer.

Now, tell me your ideas!

Greeting to you all!

Within a month or two I’ll start writing a new Elder Scrolls Fan Fic! But before that will happen, I’d like to ask you to write some characters for this story. Everything you need to know for that you can find in here.

-Plot summary-

The story of When the Stars are Gone (WTSAG) will take place during the Stormcrown Interregnum (from 4E 10 – 4E 17), some years after the Thalmor assassinated High Chancellor Ocato. It starts with five mercenaries hired by Titus Mede, a war leader who’s fighting for peace in western Cyrodiil, while some claimants fight each other over the Ruby Throne. And in the meantime, a much bigger menace threatens to destroy the balance of Aurbis…

-Making a character (or more)-

Whatever that threat is, I’ll keep a secret for now (although the title of the story is a minor spoiler), because I don’t want you to base your character solely on being able to face that threat. Alright, about that: I’d like to ask you to come up with a character that will participate in this story. Some can play a huge roll, others might just be mentioned only a few times. It really depends whether how much the character fits the story I plan to write. Of course, you can also make multiple characters if you’d like to.

So, how to make a character? Below, you can find a form to fill in, but to make a character you don’t have to follow the layout if you have a better idea or you already made a character.

Name: speaks for itself;

Title (optional): A possible title for your character. It can be something they do for a living, a nickname, or something they earned;

Race: The story takes place mainly in Tamriel, but some non-Tamrielic races can have a place; in the story as well.;

Gender: Male or female;

Appearance: How does your character look? What’s he wearing?;

Age: speaks for itself. Please also add how old he is supposed to look if that doesn’t correspondent with their actual age;

Height: speaks for itself;

Skills: Some non-combat related skills, like path finding, charming, working with a forge, horse riding, cooking, math... etc. You name it;

Combat skills (optional): Things like sword fighting, bow and arrow.;

Magic skills (optional): Some talents or magic schools like destruction, conjuration, restoration etc.;

Fighting style: How does your character fare in a fight?;

Personality: How does your character look to the world, reacts to others etc.;

Morality: speaks for itself;

Biggest wish: something to support their personality. It could be something related to the plot, but perhaps it can also be something else. Maybe even something silly as wanting to marry that one girl you grew up with as child but haven’t seen since;

Worst fear: Idem ditto with biggest wish. Your character can fear for their self, or perhaps for someone or something else;

Background: What happened between the character’s birth and the moment they enter the story;

Relations: Friends or family, but also enemies or rivals;

Extra: If there still is something left to add.

-Some rules-

Please only make serious characters.

The form is perhaps a bit extensive. You don’t have to fill in everything if you can’t come up with anything. Note that this will risk the character gets a more minor role.

Also I stated some non-Tamrielic races are permitted, but please don’t make all of the character from other races than the ES games.

You can make multiple characters and even add relations between those

This topic will be open for quite some time. I will post a reminder every two weeks

I will not immediately react to your character with a possible role, because it will depend on every character. A week before I post my first chapter I will make an announcement in which I will state the roles of the characters.

Without further ado: Good luck and have fun!

What's the best tavern in Skyrim to get drunk and get a good job for a mage, a ranger, and a little old barbarian like me?

How is everyone feeling about TES6? We know it’s coming out in like 3-4 years, it’s taking place in high rock, and that it is using photogrammetry. Are people excited for it, worried they’re gonna mess it up, a little of both?

Where is the best mine in Skyrim to get orichalcum ingot? Want to get lots so I can level up my smithing skills (I find that smithing orcish weapons and armour levels up my smithing skills quicker)

Me? Well, I'd very much appreciate if Bethesda makes the sizes of all the major towns in Skyrim lore-accurate. Imagine Whiterun, but this time, each of its districts are just as big as its current size. That would be epic!

I have played Skyrim and a little of oblivion and have recently started playing elder scrolls online. I have been playing zone stories only and going back through and exploring the whole region before moving on to the next zone and haven’t really focused on the main quest line. Should Finish the main quest line then go back for the zone stories or finish all zone stories then going back to explore and finish the main quest line?

So it is know that magic can be used to prolong your life in the elder scrolls universe. I want to know your guys theories on which school ofagic has this effect and wether or not it is possible to completely stop the aging process

I believe it is alteration because your are altering your time and alteration is all about manipulation of the world.

Is there a anothe way to start the quest if deor wood cutter dies

I'm playing through the Dawnguard questline, and I've found a bug where Arch-Curate Vyrthur only summons one wave of enemies, then doesn't do anything else. The bug is listed on the wiki page, and it does tell you how to fix it, but it didn't work for me. If anyone has some suggestions, they'd be appreciated.

people hi from Serbia! i'am new here can zou please tell me where can i change my look in skyrim? One woman in Whiterum (i think) offered me but I refused and now I can not find her....

What Ethnic group would you say each race was inspired by

Wanted to ask how to link former discussions and articles on this wiki. See people do all the time didn't know how so there.

Amy help us appreciated.

I recently downloaded a mod for Skyrim special edition on the Xbox, the title is the topic of the discussion. But no one knows how to finish it, pretty much. Does anyone on here know the mod well, to help me?

Hello everyone! Back again with another weapon and today i give you the Sword of Fearalax! As always constructive criticism is always appreciated and i hope you like it!

Name: The Sword of Fearalax

Damage: Theoritically infinite if charged, 49 If not

Weight: 23

Base Value: 27496

Description: A unique sword powered by the unrelenting demonic power of the whole island of Fearalax. It was made by Mehrunes Dagon as a weapon to use agaisnt both the Divines and the other Princes. Though only a prototype version was made.

Origins: It was prophesied that six un-changed people that come from the six provinces of Fearalax respectively will band together and unmerge Fearalax from Oblivion with the help of this weapon. Though only two of them have been found.

Fearalax is a large previously thriving island but later became a combination of different merged planes of Oblivion due to the Oblivion Crisis and a very broken Oblivion Gate.

It was then hidden in the Soul Cairn by the Divines, it is made more specifically, by small aspects of The Shivering Isles, Attribution’s Share, The Hunting Grounds, Quagmire, The Fields of Regret, and Apocrypha.

User: None

Unique Traits: The sword can be charged with the sacrifice of all the chosen ones. If charged it has the power to permanently kill immortal beings and even destroy a Daedric Prince, though in doing this the sword will be destroyed, along with the targeted Daedric Prince.

This will only work on either Boethiah, Sheogorath, Hermaus Mora, Hircine, Clavicus Vile, or Vaermina. This sword, even if not charged, is said to be powerful enough to unmerge Fearalax and bring it back to it’s former self. It can only be wielded by a chosen one, less it will kill anyone else who tries.

Though if charged it removes this limitation.

Credits- This was not drawn by me, it was made by someone on the Infinity Blade 3 crew

Weaknesses:

1. Only the chosen six are allowed to use this weapon, those who aren’t and use this weapon will die unless the sword is charged.

2. It needs the six respective chosen ones’ sacrifice to be powered, if it isn’t, it just becomes a normal sword.

Fun Fact:

1. The godkilling power of this sword was slightly based on the Infinity Blade, though the Sword of Fearalax is a worse version of it.

2. The Fearalax part of it is a nod to an old continent i made for a challenge and also a fanfic idea i really like and kinda want to do after the Journals of Skyrim.
