Morbidbread
Fight for the lost
The desire for control is ingrained in all mortals. Maintaining order.Ruling land.Commanding troops. All mundane, common desires for those who leave the mortal realm in time. However, on not so rare occasions, the ambition of mortals exceeds their reach. Most times, this results in nothing more than a small disaster, or at most, daedric incursions. On this, particular occasion, mortals have not only exceeded their reach...they have gone beyond the bounds of sanity.
It has been nearly a century since the dragon crisis, and the brutal civil war. The dragons were banished by the legendary dragonborn and the war ended in a bloody stalemate. In the decades that passed, Skyrim has managed to oust their Thalmor overseers, who, without the support of imperial troops, were powerless to enforce the White-Gold concordant.
But it seems Skyrim is cursed to never know true peace. Even after the deaths of would be high king Ulfric and his court, unrest it rife in the northern province. Yet, this is the least of the provinces problems. In the year 289, of the fourth era, disaster struck the fall hold of Riften. First hand accounts report a foul sickness sweeping through the city and surrounding lands. Followed by madness and utter ruin. Kinsman turned on kinsman, laughing and sobbing and dying. The jarls quickly moved to isolate the strange contagion, manning the old bandit forts of Treva's Watch, Greenwall, and Faldar's Tooth.
The Dawnguard, long credited with wiping out the vampire menace many years ago, have fallen silent in their fort. No courier or armed messengers requesting aid have returned. Desperation is mounting, as reports of the contagion spreading to Whiterun and Falkreath holds, in small numbers. Worse yet, is the 'priests' that roam from hold to hold, declaring this disease to be the birthing of the New God. Greater than aedra and daedra combined.
With little recourse left to them, the jarls of Skyrim have bound together under a new high king, and summoned what willing adventurers, heroes, and assorted cutthroats willing to risk their lives for the good of the province. Those that are able are summoned to the central city of Whiterun. If they can stem this contagion and investigate this 'god' remains to be seen...Yet not all hope is lost. A man, calling himself the 'avatar' has since shown himself in the city, spreading words of hope and comfort to the populace. It is he, who has volunteered to lead this effort.
Alright, guys. First story helmed by me, myself, and I. Going for a mix of warhammeresque/cthulu type story. This 'avatar' is going to be mostly an npc, but I'll build a little character card for him, alongside my actual character. Feel free to go crazy with your characters, but not too crazy. Follow the rules, that is. Variety is appreciated, in both classes and races. Not going to put a hard cap for writers, but we will start up when we have between 4-6 people. Would be nice if people could post once a week. More are encouraged. NPC conversational text will be white. The 'avatars' conversational text will be pale grey.
