Cyrodiil / Re: Scalebound
« Last post by Sheogorath on February 24, 2017, 03:45:06 am »
Nightfall was looming overhead and Nyra hadn't even started gathering materials,this displeased the mad-god so he decided to speed things up. The doors to the tavern exploded off their hinges as a golden and dark skinned daedra wearing armor that matched their complexion stormed into the tavern. They announced with a firm and demanding voice. "The one known as Nyra Zia'arus has been given a task. It is unwise to keep our lord waiting." The Golden Saint loomed over the skinny lizard her beaming eyes glaring as she rested her hand on the hilt of her blade. "I do not know what Lord Sheogorath sees in you Mortal but ignore these demands and I'll drag you to the location myself." She spat looking down at the mortal with haughty contempt. Meanwhile the Seducer stepped up to the assassin and spoke.

"You are the obstacle keeping Nyra Zia'arus from doing her duty. Stop flapping your tongue or I'll cut if from your head."

Again her eyes flickered up again with keen interest, this time to yet another Argonian. She was surprised she was being spoken to - or at least, she hadn't prepared for it. The made hesitated at first before nodding slightly as she stared unblinkingly at him, "I too extend the claw of greeting to you. I hail from Skyrim, so I was expecting to be a blue reed in yellow peat, and yet here we are." Nyra replied softly and with a tilt of her head as she glanced at the window before continuing with curiosity, "Then again, we are not that far from the Mother Land so I suppose it really shouldn't be that surprising... do you frequent here often?"

Cyrodiil was a nice change of pace from Black Marsh. Granted it was colder and more bright because of the less dense foliage but it had its charms as well. Korsy had been wandering for quite a bit now, with no real place to call home anymore he basically went from place to place where he sold his abilities for a decent sum... before making a hasty getaway and moving on.
As dusk fell he had stumbled into a small town and was making his way towards the inn. Upon entering he went straight to bar and ordered a bottle of mead which he down in a few gulps, only then did he notice the others.
"Wasn't expecting to run into more friends of the Marsh, what a pleasant surprise," he said with a smile.

Hermaeus Mora
Hermaeus Mora, also known as Hoermius, Hormaius, Hermorah, Herma Mora, and The Woodland Man is the Daedric Prince of knowledge and memory; his sphere is the scrying of the tides of Fate, of the past and future as read in the stars and heavens. He is not known for being good or evil; he seems to be the keeper of both helpful and destructive knowledge, although he usually sees all seekers of any knowledge as his servants.

Background
Also called the Demon of Knowledge, he is vaguely related to the cult origins of the Morag Tong if only by association with his sibling, Mephala. He usually chooses to appear to mortals as a void of darkness, or as a grotesque mass of tentacles.

Plane of Oblivion
As recorded in The Doors of Oblivion, Hermaeus Mora maintains a realm in Oblivion called Apocrypha, where all forbidden knowledge can be found. It is an endless library, with shelves stretching onward in all directions, stacks on top of stacks. Every book has a black cover with no title. Masses of ghosts move through the stacks, rifling through books, eternally searching for the knowledge they sought whilst living.
This location appears in the DLC The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn. It can be accessed via Black Books, which can give the reader special abilities. The halls are filled with Seekers who read books and guard the realm. Some areas have Lurkers who also guard the realm and sometimes appear in the mortal realm, unlike the Seekers.
The realm is filled with mist and fog as well as seas of acid-like water, encompassed by a dark green atmosphere. The only known residents other than various ghosts, Seekers, and Lurkers are Miraak and his dragons.

Nyra jumped with fright at the sudden booming voice, causing for the top of her head to slam into a shelf that was nailed to a wall above her. She looked around with both confusion and fear, wondering where on Tamriel that voice had come from. Whilst rubbing the top of her head and dislodged a horn from the bottom of the wooden shelf; Nyra looked around the more she realized that absolutely no one else had reacted to such a booming voice. Was she the only one who heard it? That seemed to be likely since the mysterious voice had listed items that only Necromancers or those with a morbid curiosity would use or have... and no one seemed to be casting her dirty looks or spitting out derogatory names at her like she had grown used to back home.

A couple of patrons cast curious or puzzled looks her way shortly after she had suddenly slammed her head against the shelf and she promptly sat back down to finish her Mead. She was no stranger to hearing... voices that most ordinary beings wouldn't hear but this one was different... something more powerful. The Argonian swallowed nervously, praying that it wasn't a deity or the equivalent of one whom might lure her to a trap... still she will leave soon and arrive on time tonight with the required items he had demanded.

(Important to read for context. http://tamrieltales.createaforum.com/the-shivering-isles/bring-me-a-mortal!/msg10/#msg10 )

A harsh and raspy voice drilled it's way into Nyra's skull, it echoed so loudly it sounded like it was being blasted through a megaphone however she would be the only one to hear it. "Listen closely mortal because I hate repeating myself. I can make you one of the greatest mortals of the forth era or I can make you strip naked and run into the swamp singing sea shanties. It's your choice. You are to bring a fresh corpse, an empty black soul gem and the book of the dead to the graveyard at the edge of town tonight. You'll await further instructions there. Don't keep me waiting mortal, I've grown incredibly restless as the third era drew to a close." With that the voices fell silent and she was left only with her thoughts.

The Shivering Isles / Bring Me A Mortal!
« Last post by Sheogorath on February 24, 2017, 12:34:20 am »
Sheogorath was sitting upon the throne of madness in his palace of New Sheoth. He looked dreadfully bored tapping his claw against the arm rest as the golden and black armored demons patrolled the palace grounds. An entire realm of people unsound of mind and the young Daedric Prince found it all so painfully boring. He looked into the silver and golden flames burning beside his seat of power, the flickering flames reminded him of the finite nature of human lives. In time his mind would turn to the mortal realm, no longer able to walk upon Tamriel he gave an annoyed sigh cursing the veil the dragon god of time had put in place. Like all Daedra he loved to mess with mortals but having been born one he often missed walking the land of the living. A golden Saint wearing the attire of a maid approached the Mad Prince offering a warm smile. "What troubles you My Lord?" She asked fluttering her eyelashes as she placed her hands above her bust. Sheogorath simply stood casting a glance to his underling as he replied.

"Tamriel....." He said nothing more as his body vanished breaking into a storm of dragonflies buzzing past his servant as he flew off to put his plan into motion. The white lizards body reformed at the edge of the realm that let him peer into the world of Mundas. He had a connection to every insane person in the mortal world and he started invading the minds of those he deemed worthy. Only one however would be selected the others would be left with an uncontrollable urge to run off cliffs attempting to fly, Sheogorath's way of rejecting the unworthy. Soon his eyes turned to a Necromancer in Cyrodiil whom had just parted ways with her sister. A smile sprawled over the old Daedra's lizard lips as he hissed.             
"I've found my champion."

Nyra's milky blue eyes flicked upwards from where she sat, staring at Razeshzr rather intensely and with great interest. He seemed pretty intimidating. It was also very rare for her to have seen another Argonian during her life thus far - the others being only her sister and a select few she had bumped into Riften. She glanced at the staircase he had descended from earlier, assuming that he had stayed the night here?
'So they have rooms here, hm, good to know.' she thought to herself.

The Mage kept to herself, however, often preferring not to draw too much attention to herself. She had only just arrived in the country earlier today and she wasn't too sure what the people were like here. Perhaps if she waited, she may see more interesting patrons arrive in this tavern?

Razeshzr who was upstairs preparing started to walk down slowly towards the bartender as he did there was no emotion in his face he quickly ordered a glass of wine before sitting down in the corner table placing the glass in front of him in then pulled a book out and began reading sipping he wine before placing it down in the exact place it was when he sat down I wonder if this time he will show up to do his job, it not I will be the one again to do the job will be easier if he came this time going against the night mother's wishes in a ill idea He inwardly sighed as he waited.

Character Biographies / Neztu, the Vagrent
« Last post by Neztu, the Vagrent on February 23, 2017, 06:49:35 pm »
Name: Neztu Veshal
Race/sex: Redguard, Male
Homeland: Alik'r Desert (Western Hammerfell)
Vocation: Archeologist, Architect, Hedge Sorcerer: Conjuration/Alteration
Conj;  Bound Bow, Conjure Frost Atronach
Altr; Magelight, Telekinesis, Transmute, Water Breathing

Physical appearance:
Neztu is both fond of and a habitual wearer of bright colors. Thin, breathable, and bright garb being a necessity of desert life, lest one cook to death in their own clothing. What armor he does wear is sparse and covers only his vitals. These are usually hidden beneath his concealing (albeit ornate and brightly colored) robe and decorative tunic with a set of leather greaves and scaled vambraces however being more clearly visible to accompany his rather bulbous helmet. 
Beneath his garb, Neztu is a man of average height (5'3") along with a fit and durable build, maintained by a constantly traveling and nomadic life. His darkened  -sun baked- skin is a gift from both his heritage and the harsh desert sun of his homeland. His dark hair is no less weather worn and when let loose from his helm and turban therein (which explains it's odd design) is startlingly long. The thick and wavy locks even descending so far as to touch just below his hips.
In stark contrast however, his eyes are a pure and vibrant emerald (which at first glance is commonly mistaken as the source of the light within his helmet) are set in a pleasant -if not wind beaten- face which bears a long blue inked tattoo crossing from above his eyebrows to the bridge of his nose, running down it's length to his lips, coming to finish and curl just beneath his chin. In truth, the light produced within his helmet is a twin set of soul gems with small polished refracting mirrors. An apparatus which serves him as a source of light (Headlamps) when delving into caverns, and at one time, the ruins of the Alik'r desert. A pastime and personal quest that facilitated both the walking staff and curved sword that are never far from his side.

Personality:
Neztu is a curios soul. Almost insatiably so. While this curiosity may not so much extend to people, he is easily enthralled by structures and is prone to wild speculation as to it's history before, during, and after he has delved into it. The thought of whether or not it should have been delved in the first place rarely occurring to him as he is held captive by the rush of discovery. The ruins of the Dwemmer being of particular interest to him for both nostalgic and engineering purposes.
