Down among the dead men let him lie!

It is the 24th of Sun's Height; the year of Akatosh 186. These are the middling years of the Fourth Era.
A decade after the Great War, the lands are plagued with infirmity. The people of Tamriel still reel from the blows struck to the land, hearth, and home by the mutual struggling, battering, and biting of both the Aldmeri Dominion, and the Empire. This struggle for the domination of Nirn has weakened both Empires, as well as the lands they fought for. The Empire is in disarray.
Though they both fought bitterly, the Empire suffers far more in comparison to the Dominion; even after the Empire renounced Hammerfell as a province, and the Dominion moving in only to be fought to a standstill, losing nearly a third of their invasion force; the Dominion still holds it's ground. It continues to recover at a much faster pace than the Empire ever could. The war between Hammerfell and the Aldmeri Dominion ended in 4E 180, after 5 years of war, hastening the Dominion's recovery.
In the province of Skyrim, what was referred to as an 'incident' began in 4E 174. Forsworn took the city of Markarth and declared themselves independent from 4E 174 to 4E 176 before Ulfric Stormcloak at the behest of Jarl Hrolfdir was asked to take the city back, but accepted only on the condition that Talos would allowed to be worshipped freely in Markarth. Hrolfdir accepted, and Markarth was retaken, much to the chagrin of the Reachmen.
The wars are over.
However, something yet stirs in the elusive darkness, and there is another war to come...

This is the RP thread.
This is the RP thread for 'A Dark Promise'. In this thread, you are role-playing your character(s) in the decade and a half leading up to Skyrim. The story takes place in 4E 186, exactly 15 years before the beginning of Skyrim; the story will eventually end in 4E 201, and a new thread will begin with new events.
This role-play is meant as a way to tell the story of your character in the past, and is mostly meant for people who have a lot of trouble writing histories, but that doesn't bar people who don't from playing. It's also meant as a way to tie characters together, and to plan how characters would be related in the future, either by yourself, or with other players.
This role-play will be mainly centered around the characters, though do keep in mind that events based upon the words on the 'Elder Scroll' up there will take place at some point. Any player and their character(s) may take place in these events, though that will necessitate contact with other player's characters. Do note that these events are somewhat planned, so that order may be kept.
Also, note that there will be time-skips of about three years between each event, after each character's plot line has been concluded. The only event that shall not have a time-skip, is the sixth and final event.
