Collaborative Corner

Authors are required to accompany myself and another author into the magical land of Tamriel.

No real story has been decided on yet, but just write a comment if you're interested.

An interest in The Elder Scrolls would be nice, or at least some knowledge.

Don't be shy, I won't bite if you wish to join. At the moment around 4 more authors are needed. :)

I would be the other author he is referring to.
I'm a fan of dark fantasy, so my chapters will be more gritty. The choice is yours as to what you want to depict, but just know that this collab will be labelled as having mature content.
For info on Elder Scrolls lore and such, go to www.uesp.net.

I'm interested. Took the bait and ran with it =D

I can vouch for Nosi. :) ( He is an excellent writer ) [ No pressure Mate =P ]

@Nosirrah Do you know a bit about Elder Scrolls lore?

I've played Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim (tiny bit of arena) if it helps?

@Nosirrah That does help.

Ooh, can I join? I've only played Skyrim, but I do know how to use the internets.

@Rac7hel We all know how to use the internet. We're asking that you at least know a bit about the lore. Are you familiar with the questlines in Skyrim?

but I do know how to use the internets.

that was a joke ;)

Yes, I've played the living crap out of Skyrim, I know it well.

Alright then, that helps.

Great so that means we have four people.

I asked a friend of mine if he would be interested so that would bring the total to five ( Just waiting for him to get back to me )

@DTMN I myself would be very interested in a collaboration and have knowledge on the Elder Scrolls games.

Welcome aboard.

Right, we now have a planning and brainstorming section.

I know nothing about the elder scrolls, and I thought skyrim was just some first person shooting game, but it keeps popping up in my email, and now I'm intrigued, enlighten me perhaps? If not, no big deal.

@JSimmons No I shall do my best to explain somewhat.

The Elder Scrolls is a series of Role Playing Games created by Bethesda.

The last three would be the most famous, Skyrim, Oblivion and Morrowind. Maybe not so much with the latter and there are 5 in total.

And first person shooter couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, there are no guns.

For each province on the map there is a history and lore linked with it ( Map: http://zalthor.sitesled.com/cartes_tamriel.jpg ) Quite a detailed history and lore at that.

The games themselves are unmatched. The detail and side quests could keep a player amazed for hundreds of hours.

There are 9 races that can be played ( Dunmer/Dark Elf, Bosmer/Wood Elf, Argonian, Breton, Imperial, Khajiit, Nord, Orc, Red Guard and Altmer/High Elf ) and many races that are mentioned but are not playable ( The most well known would probably be the Dwemmer [ Dwarves to everyone else ] and the Falmer [ They were once known as the Snow Elves but they changed after centuries of enslavement by the Dwemmer, who subsequently became extinct for some unknown reason ] )

However each race has unique folk lore, history and environments, the detail and stories would make one think that these people and creatures actually existed.

I could write pages on this JSimmons, but if you're really interested in it I recommend playing the games and checking out this website :)

Pffft Morrowind was the best >_>
hehe =P

Thanks DTMN

The real magic is in the immersion. There's something special about walking side by side with a woolly mammoth whilst an Aurora Borealis shines in the sky at night and giants sit around a camp fire just ahead.
