New Class/Quest Idea - Worm Cultist

dovakiin5574

Worm Cultist... I've seen the NPCs use super cool skills!!! They could have an alternate start where they're working with Mannimarco at first and are on a mission for him when they meet [Insert X Alliance Hero Here] and help them instead. When they return to Mannimarco they are labeled a traitor and then are thrown into the cut scene for the Cold Harbour start area. Insert certain dialogue for story/dlc quests mentioning the player's betrayal of the Worm Cult. BOOM $$$, there you go ZOS

Would be better to implement a necomancer class.

Pretty much the same thing imo

"Hello, Prophet, King Jorunn, Lyris, Queen Ayrenn, Vanus Galerion, and High King Emeric!

I realize I'm a former Worm Cultist who totally was a horrible necromancer - still am a horrible necromancer actually - but I've totally turned against the Worm Cult since my former boss Mannimarco, you know, killed me and sacrificed my soul to Molag Bal.

I'm totally trustworthy and you should definitely let me lead your forces in battle against the Worm Cult, Mannimarco, and Coldharbor. Prophet, you can totally trust me with the Amulet of Kings, I definitely won't betray you like Mannimarco betrayed the Emperor...

So, uh, what do you say, guys? You gonna put me in charge or what?"


I'm thinking there's going to be a little more that just an alternate start needed.

Be careful, they are very sensitive about what they see as necromancer and what they don't

My take on this would be that it might make a interesting guild-sized DLC...
As in "Hey hero, take this magican mask and infiltrate the remains of the worm cult, they are up to some new dastardly plot somewhere in -new region-" and then have the story where you can either play through as "witless minion" cleaning up after their rituals, or if you have the aptitude, learn to necromance yourself and play the same questline as apprentice corpse-raiser... spying on your fellow cultists, working towards foiling their grand scheme and bringing them down in the end...

Abner Tharn said it during his rescue, "We'll make a necromancer out of you yet", and who knows, maybe someday he will be proven right after all

"Hello King Fahara'jad,

I'm a former Worm Cultist and travelling Necromancer out to raise the deceased delights each province has to offer. I recently arrived here in the Alik'r Desert and saw that you were having trouble with several colleagues of mine from the Withered Hand.

I would be more than happy to offer you my assistance in destroying this cult, even though most of your fellow Redguards openly oppose the art of Necromancy and are truly disgusted with the magics I use. I dearly hope though that the Ash'abah, who aren't keen to work with me and might even kill me when they have the chance, and I can work together to stop the sons of Suturah.

Kind regards,
The Necromancer Vestige"

The Role-playing possibilities are endless!

"Hello, Grandmaster Tanval Indoril, I promise to only raise the corpses of humans and beasts, and I'll definitely not mess around with your revered Dunmer ancestors - which is totally not necromancy, no serjo, not at all..."


"Uh, Razum-dar, would you do me a giant favor and not mention that I'm a necromancer to Ritemaster Iachesis and Valsirenn? Because, well, he kinda kicked Mannimarco out of the Psijic Order for studying necromancy and I think it might get, well, awkward."
