So, skyrim lore overload, so i guess if you dont know much skyrim i dont recommend this roleplay!

So, idea! Either a the great war roleplay, or just a normal stormcloak va legion roleplay, ill have a pole set up. This is the story thing for the first one if i forgot anything, pray tell

War, blood, haste, fury..

All these things, channeled trough one emotion, hate. War causes these things, freinds break apart.. Families fight, only for one thing.

Victory. Both sides waged war, fighting desperatley for land... The rebels, or, "Stormcloaks" And then theres the Legion, the fierce warriors and organized force that controls most of Tamriel. After so many years, both sides have found themselves at a stalement, both lacking resources, they seek new recruits, or new muscle wherever they can find it. The reason the rebels started this, was becouse of the "White Gold Comcordant." That the Imperial legion signed after being mercilessly defeated by the Thalmor.

The thalmor being an advanced dominion that has sought to take over.

You are one of these recruits, and after being accepted, you where sent to your very first mission after being granted your gear.

Stormcloak Mission brief
Enter the fort, eliminate the legion, and rescue the prisoners. Secure the fort, and call in reinforcements.

Imperial Legion Brief

Defend fort. Make sure surrendered soldiers are not killed, secure the prisoners, and stabilize the fort once the threat disperses.

You're either, a prisoner in the fort, or on one of the teams.

Good luck, private.

Just remember who the real enemy is.


If that idea sounded unappealing, there is also this one in the making.

So, basically... the great war, you know, just ponified.. and you can be like.. uh.. a thalmor.. or an imperial
legion dude.. uh

yeh

As Squint said, there's not much of a story here apart from just wanting to do a siege. If you're taking the civil war from Skyrim, at least try and add in some of your own things instead of just basing everything here on that and adding ponies. This needs a story apart from the siege so that it's not just an unending battle and then when people have gotten their action fill it'll be hard to keep it going. Skyrim's ingame civil war doesn't really have a great story to begin with. Could you try writing up something to go with this?

 

Might also run your story through Word or a spell-checker after you're done to help with your grammar and spelling.

There should be lore, since it's based off of skyrim... and other elder scrolls games, but mostly skyrim.

Besides you can look up the lore and familiarize yourself with a chunk of it in about half an hour... No point in making it unrelated to the thing it's based off of.

 

And I don't think it can be about both the rebellion AND the great war you guys ._.

No, the difference we're looking for here is that he take the time to not just copypasta all the lore from skyrim directly and instead take some time to make his own story from the civil war in skyrim. It's fine to base it off something, but don't base it off something so hard that it's impossible to tell the difference between your thought and the original.

 

You'll likely find more information about the rebellion than the Great War/First War, since the rebellion happened in the game, the Great War was only mentioned. In any case, you could just make a story about a civil war since the rebellion in Skyrim is already based on the general idea of civil war anyways. This way you're not constrained to lore from one thing while trying to make your own lore to fit the Skyrim lore. Rather confusing, but you're less likely to get somebody butthurt if you have your own story and mess something up rather than mess something up in the rebellion's lore that people already know and have played through X amount of times.

 

I would be more impressed by you just using elements from Skyrim rather than straight-up taking it directly from Skyrim.
