To the south-west of the Tamriel mainland, rests a remote and long forgotten isle.
In this isolated island lies mountains, orchards, lagoons, woodlands and ancient ruins made from coral. Along with these surroundings, there are also cities, the main being Alinor. The High Elves' city.
Entry to Alinor has been forbidden for over fifty years, and traders and merchants only being allowed in the city's ports. The city was apparently made from glass or insect wings, and the beauty of the city could easily rival any other creations in the mainland.

Recently, strange happenings have occurred. The Summerset beasts have become more and more aggressive, and the High Elves and other sapiens have been flocking to the mainland, running in fear.
The Daedra have come back, managing to open an oblivion gate atop Eton Nir, the highest peak in the isle.
A few brave (or idiotic) warriors and mages, have decided drive back the Daedric forces and close the gateway once and for all.
Are you from the mainland, seeking to drive off the Daedra for fortune and glory?
Or perhaps you have lived on the Isle and wish to protect your home with any means necessary?
The choice is yours, and the future of Summerset Isle is in your hands.

They have digitrade legs and a long tail, as well as gills behind their ears. They swim with the same motion as a tadpole or eel. They cannot express emotion with facial expressions like men or mer.

Descriptions of race's attitudes etc are stereotypical, though powers and immunities apply to all members of that race. For example, an Argonian character may be un-stereotypical and easily trust others. [url]http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Races[/url]


Vampirism: Vampires are created through contracting a disease. They are pale with red eyes. Vampires need to drink blood frequently, but the longer they go without blood the more their vampiric powers increase. High level vampires will burn to death quickly in sunlight, and look frightening and gaunt. Their powers are stronger as high levels but people will refuse to communicate with them. As low levels vampires, they are charming and can go into the sun for a longer amount of time, but their powers aren't as strong. All vampires can see in the dark.
Lycanthropy: Lycanthropes are created through contracting a disease or being bitten. Every night, they turn into humanoid wolves with thick fur, sharp teeth, digitrade legs and long claws. They are vicious and dangerous at night, and hungry. All lycanthropes can see in the dark.
Your character can either start with a disease, or become infected later. Diseases can be cured, though it is hard to find the cure. Races with resistances or immunities cannot be infected.
