__________________________Backstories:_________________________
Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard warrior; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.
Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from the undead zombies, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; was asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting living enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being a Yokudan warrior wields a massive sword in respect to the Ansei, a gift given by the Imperial, Cinan Tharn. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight, so he also carries a giant maul, both weapons laced with magical flames.
Jux Blackheart is a master thief that masquerades as a Bard at the Sisters of the Sands inn, with his younger sidekick Lucky Hunch for pilfering and gambling during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any towns bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of his greed and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight. He lost his left pinky fingertip as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught red-handed...
Upon arrival back in the Alik'r after many moons of adventuring, Ras Kalik ventures to Bergama. Visiting The Winking Jackal, he runs into Jux Blackheart, who introduces him to the coin game Crowns vs Forebearers (Heads vs Tails) and Golden Dwemer (RBG).... Jux constantly takes gold from the unfortunate thru theft or gambling, his biggest gambling victim is actually his partner in crime known as Lucky Hunch the Gambler. Lucky doesn't mind losing any gold coins to Jux... as Jux saved him from Altmer slavers in Summerset, by stealing a key and sending him on a boat to the mainland years prior. Lucky spent years in slavery with Khajiits in Summerset and picked up the art of subterfuge, using illusion magic disguises and stealing there.
Kaotik Von’Daemon an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.
The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, an Imperial mercenary and two other soldiers, an Imperial and a Breton Knight, stating proudly he was an Akavir descendent. One of the Imperials, Cinan, claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (One of Ras Kalik's mentors in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn was really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son. He was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired Imperial navy battle-mage (now a Lycan mercenary living in the city of Rimmen) and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son Cinan more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn a drunkard, loves to drink at least a quarter barrel of Nord mead before he raids various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Cinan also plans to one day, run an illegal gambling ring... which he thinks will net him more gold for his wares.
The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.
Herzog Zwei the Genesis a reknown Imperial/Akavirri battle-mage. His roots going back to Akavir through his mother’s bloodline. (His mother is descended from the Akaviri, through Versidue-Shae, and his Imperial father met her in Hakoshae, while traveling) Herzog earned the nickname "the Genesis" from his father as a child, as he was his mother's first born child, and last, as she tragically died in child-birth.
Herzog was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture and was meeting Tyrus while in Rimmen, who introduced him to Cinan. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Akavir descendant really wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers to meet his mothers spirit, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure but Ras Kalik, did indeed notice the sword however and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)
And so the Redguard, Imperial and Akaviri men parted ways ... While Ras Kalik went off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little did Ras Kalik know a few people were awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The necromancer known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons in Elsywer, is awaiting his arrival also. Aurik is a soldier of the Daggerfall Covenant that was introduced to necromancy while in the military, even though this magicka art is not spoken of openly by most of the Military leaders. He came to Alik'r and worked with the Withered Hand before Ras Kalik intervened on their plans. After the defeat of the Withered Hand, he aligned with the Worm Cult, and is constantly adapting and perfecting his necromantic arts.
After his journey to Rimmen, Kalik heads south to Senchal, in the southern regions of Elyswer. This new adventure will also put him on a path to meet a strange Redguard man. The stranger which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is known as Tsar al-Bomba and he is on a path to spread the disease. He was originally infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Tsar al-Bomba know, that his infection is tied to Vampirism, and eventually the desire for blood will take over his mind. Senchal also offers Kalik his latest love interest... Aeliah. Whom he fondly led thru battles with the Dragonguard.
After the trek thru the heat, tropical and desert climate of Northern and Southern Elyswer, Ras Kalik heads north to the cold mountain range of Skyrim. His companion friend Lyris beckons for him with a letter sent by crow...
Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected), within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.
Uri Ice-Heart - brother of Urfon Ice-Heart. The twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart. The Ice-Heart family are originally from Markarth but now reside on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, with their younger sister Araki. The twins had joined the Winterborn Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed west to Orsinium with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri stayed behind with his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety, avoiding the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. After news reaches him and he hears of Urfon's death... Uri leaves and heads home and is seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, his sister has also moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild. He will visit his sister, once before going to seek vengeance and she will craft him armor mixed with ice, called Stalhrim armor. Uri fearing death, after his brother's passing, falls victim to the convincing talk of Movárth at a Nordic tavern, and will also becomes a vampire.

EnerG✭✭✭✭✭My boyfriend introduced me to Elder scrolls as a whole when I was about 20, I fell in love instantly. At first I played alot of Imperial or Bosmer because I was used to playing asian games where characters are essentially supermodels, but I warmed up to the graphics over time and I'm very proud of Bethesda/Zos making games that are gritty and don't have to be supermodel-ly. These days I am and probably always will be a Dunmer Stan, morrowwind is too this day my favorite game and the alien ashy wasteland is so unique and wonderful in its own way. Yeah Summerset is traditionally pretty, but Vvardenfell is unique, and nothing comes quite close to it. I'm also getting very into Argonians too, their culture was really well done in the mirkmire dlc and I'm excited to seeore of that in the upcomming Blackwood dlc since it's supposed to have some Argonian influence sprinkled on top.0 -
Xargas13✭✭✭Started in Morrowind back in a day as dunmer, played argonian in Oblivion and Skyrim, but always restarted as dunmer. Even here, I was playing first dunmer, then switched to argonian and then back and forth back and forth, but the most progress I made on my dunmer character, so I guess my heart lies with dunmer

cynicalbutterfly✭✭✭✭I like all races except Orcs. Story wise I like them but they're just too ugly for me. Top fave is Altmer though. Bosmer are a close second.
My first character was a Khajit NB though. I have since abandoned him for an Altmer Necro. Liked the Khajit but their fur makes it difficult and weird to see tattoos on them. Absolutely adore my Altmer characters though. Wouldn't change them for anything else.
In Skyrim, I played Bosmer but only because they made the high elf faces too angular and hard to get a good looking one on xDEdited by cynicalbutterfly on March 3, 2021 2:38AM0 -
LannStone✭✭✭✭My first character, and still my main, is a Breton templar. Effective but actually boring when it comes to looks and lore.
Now I have 13 active characters in all the races, and each one has to be able to solo a four-man dungeon, so they're not just mules.
If I were to pick a favorite race now based on architecture, it would be high elf - love that brightly lit style.
But overall favorite race now, I'd say Khajit - sneaky, sly-talking, funny, colorful.0 -

Haha this is so accurate. Tbh the main reason I swapped over from Altmer to Imperials is that the former don't have hairy chestsFIRST - Any class that made a cute girl so I could get people to kill monsters for me and give me their loot.
Now everyone is wise to that cunning plan so I play anything that makes a nice looking guy with a hairy chest so that people will fight monsters for me and give me loot.

✭Dunmer then, Dunmer now.
Also have a soft spot for Breton lore wise, but find the dps drop infuriating and thus rarely play one unless its one of my healers.
I do not appreciate how racist, arrogant and elitist ESO has made Dunmer, while these may be aspects of Dumer culture/society, I do not recall the same levels in Morrowind or Oblivion at all. But maybe my memory fades.0 -

It's funny i had the exact opposite experience. I try to like High Elves but the Aldmeri Dominion puts me right off. Even though Queen Ayrenn's pretty cool in this version, I'm really not a big fan of the uppity-racial-superiority vibe the Altmer give off. Can't help but dislike them.
I mean that is a radical group called Veiled Heritance who are racial supremacists, whereas most citizens of AD follow and revere Queen Ayrenn so they are open with the borders/minds to outsiders0 -
Vanya✭✭✭✭✭Altmer Superiority gorgeousness for eternity. I love everything regarding Altmer stated reasons,details several times. Their lore,story chapter,aesthetically unmatched ,intellectually, Summeret isles are the jewels,style,culture,Psijic order,voice acting,etc etc. As for their "Superiority" every race believes in some extent they are the "greatest" High elven society is simply more open and are showing it without shame or hesitation for they are indeed By Auri-El!0

✭✭As for their "Superiority" every race believes in some extent they are the "greatest"
Not to mention that Dunmer still openly practices slavery under EP, traps magicka of Argonians to prevent them from disobeying, exiling them from their homes (there is even a refugee camp in Grathwood - The Gray Mire, they escape from enslavement of Dunmer) and seek asylum in Grathwood
Nords not accepting Dunmers into Eastmarch/Fort Amol because they are not worthy, pointy eared and low beings
Bretons & Redguards ganging upon Orcs and destroy Orsinium because they are Orcs?? (Notice the guards in Cyrodiil always yell "High Rock & Hammerfell" not even mentioning Orsinium...)
And plenty more examples
But for some reason first born Elves of Tamriel, who opens their borders and outlaws slavery & daedra worship are the baddies

Exactly, I have not known for Dark elven cruelty and tormenting slavery nature. Typical Nords, they were extremely racist in TESV Skyrim, I mean the Guard quotes proves all tsk,tsk. Thy post is making us Altmer look like a saviors and least oppressing race. I yet have to explore some story facts. I missed Gray Mire camp. Ha! Bretons and Redguards hold on they wish to destory and butcher same race they are "allied" with daggerFAIL covenant.
It is safe to say plenty of Altmer under Queen's Aryeen are the true light and saviors of Nirn, Who else opened up and welcomed every single race, nobody?0 -

✭My first ever character was a Khajiit because I love cats, but then I made an Altmer and they've been my favourite ever since - I love playing as a tall, spell-casting elf and I find their lore interesting. I also really love Redguards, and I still have a big soft spot for Khajiit.PC NA & EU || Mammoth Guilds - Victory or Valhalla || Altmer sorcerer main
