Tyranny of the Sun

Tyranny of the Sun

0 INK

The events of Skyrim's two major expansions Dawnguard and Dragonborn are twisted into a what-if scenario. Auriel's Bow has fallen into Harkon's hands, and Solstheim has fallen to an ancient foe.

Introduction

It's been three years since the warmth of the golden sun has touched the land of Tamriel. The Dawnguard has fallen, and the possession of the sacred bow of Auriel has fallen into the hands of Harkon, who uses an arrow dipped in his daughter's blood to darken the sun every morning. The Dragonborn hasn't been seen since the raid on Harkon's castle, and is presumed dead.

As Valerica predicted, the general population has declared war on the undead, seeking to find the ones responsible for the blotting out of their sun. Vampires everywhere are finding few places left to hide, as adventurers and vampire hunters flush them out of every cave.

But the living are not Harkon's only threat. The long-time rivals of the vampire, the lycanthropes, have been gathering. A new guild, formed in secret, called the Lunar Alliance, seeks to unite all lycanthrope species under a common cause, and they have taken an interest in Harkon's new toy.

Meanwhile, the Empire, in the midst of two wars, has lost possession of the island of Solstheim. An ancient Dragon Priest, named Miraak, has returned from the dead, and he seems to have a strange kind of mind control over the people of the island.

In this time, more than ever, Tamriel is in need of heroes, or else their world will be swallowed up in darkness.

Toggle Rules

In this RP, characters may be aligned with the Volkihar vampire clan, help to build up the new Lunar Alliance, join the remnant of the Dawnguard in their hunt for vampires, etc.. I encourage creativity, and I welcome any new ideas. For now, the events in Solstheim may remain in the background, but can become more significant in the future.

No one may claim the character of the Dragonborn, or have status as a Dragonborn. Some may, however, be students of the Greybeards, with limited skill in the use of dragon shouts.

This RP doesn't have to always concern the main storyline. I'd like to see side-quests, like in the video game.

Here's some more background into the events of Skyrim: The Civil War is reaching its end, with Ulfric Stormcloak taking his place as High King of Skyrim in Solitude. The Empire still has control over some cities, but Ulfric has taken the advantage. However, Ulfric's victory over the Empire only triggered the beginning of Skyrim's conflict with the Thalmor. A new war is brewing, the likes of which Skyrim hasn't seen since the 2nd Era.

The Dragonborn hasn't joined the Companions or the Dark Brotherhood. So whatever events are involved in their quests have not happened here yet. For example, Kodlak Whitemane is still the Harbinger.

Alduin has been defeated. Though dragons still plague Tamriel, they operate without a leader.

More on the Lunar Alliance: Most lycanthropes either hunt alone, or in packs of like lycanthropes. Different species (such as Werewolves and Werebears) have not typically gotten along and have competed over territory since their beginnings. The Lunar Alliance seeks to bring all species together, to bring peace between them, and to give them more power. They fight back against groups like the Silver Hand, who hunt them down. However, the secret guild is newly formed, and is lacking in influence. Their base is in a cave under the Throat of the World, and their leader is a Werelion Redguard named Waylas.

For convenience, I may make a thread journal to list the major points of the plot so new people won't have to read every page.

For your character's profiles, include all the basics. Name, sex, race, appearance, and background. Also include their major and minor skills, and a list of weapons, armors, other items, and spells that they are in possession of.

Re: Tyranny of the Sun

Well, it's not really much of an RP if I'm deciding everything that happens. That's more like a work of fan fiction.

Re: Tyranny of the Sun

i dont think i can take more characters. although i am playing Skyrim right now, I am not too familiar with everything thats been going on, so you and others (if they join) will have to take control of everything that happens

Re: Tyranny of the Sun

I'll wait a little longer to see if others are interested, but if not, would you like to take more characters? I'd like each faction to be active.

Re: Tyranny of the Sun

also, since I'm basically the follower, I think it would be better if you were to write the places we go and the things that happen to us along the way. I think this might turn out to be a 1 on 1 rp because people aren't joining

Re: Tyranny of the Sun

Sounds good. But I think it's best if the two have only recently met, or at least within the last two years or so. I don't want him to know more about Hulgard's past than he should.

Yes, most of the RP will take place in Skyrim. Depending on how well things go, however, some may travel to Solstheim. Certain quests may take characters into other lands as well, but most of the action will be in Skyrim.

Re: Tyranny of the Sun

lets just say we met in a tavern and became friends in the past. he wont be doing much fighting so you have to protect him. You do alot of heroic deeds and he'll write songs about you. lol. also, where does our story take place? Skyrim?

Re: Tyranny of the Sun

So long as that traveling bard can defend himself against vampires, sure. Got any ideas for how the two should meet or could have met in the past?

Re: Tyranny of the Sun

Tyranny of the Sun

Tyranny of the Sun is an idea I had, taking the stories of Skyrim's two major expansions--Dawnguard and Dragonborn--and manipulating them a bit. Instead of defeating Harkon, the Dragonborn is defeated, and Auriel's Bow falls into the possession of the vampires. But seeing the sun being darkened every morning has rapidly raised awareness and hatred for vampires.

Meanwhile, in Solstheim, Miraak has returned to the mortal plane, and he has started by turning the entire island into his mind slaves. With the Empire weakened by the wars with the Thalmor and the Stormcloaks, Miraak currently stands unopposed.
