    With the start having already come into my mind, I decided I did not want to wait to start my ESO themed epic poem now, so I deleted my Dragon Knight (which I almost never played) and restarted to get a fresh start for my poem. I will post it into the fiction and roleplay section when I get something substantial to post.
    The character's name is Vandus Rusant, he is an Imperial associated with the Aldmeri Dominion. Right now, this is what I have for my starting. The rest I need to proofread and polish up a bit. I look forward to using ESO as the inspiration for my first epic poem.

    What is this thing lost to dream and dust
    Lost to mem'ry, feeling, passion, and thought

    This thing ... it has hands, feet, even has a face
    This thing … lost to tides of time … is me
    … but who am I … who is this forgotten thing

    @Zuboko I love your idea it sounds like a great idea it is a little like I do in one of the guilds I have a news feed on the guild channel and the guild leader and other members love it.

    It is basically me come up with a silly idea about things in Tamriel it is everything from News, sport, weather, traffic report and also import news update the love it

    What I try to say @Zuboko is don't gave up on idea my idea from news started back in 2004 when I play WoW and it has just continue in all the MMO i have after that :)

    "If did not hear on Tamriel News Service 1st it is must like not true. That is all news we have today but stay tune to TNS for late news around Tamriel I'm your host Nimyla" ;)
    If you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled; for you are in Elysium, and you're already dead

    It's still a rough draft, but I like where it is at. I want to have more before I create its own thread in the Fiction and Roleplay section, but I wanted to share it here because I really like where this is going.
    The title may change but it is called "A Hero's Birth"

    A Hero's Birth

    What is this thing lost to dream and dust
    Lost to mem'ry, feeling, passion, and thought

    This thing … it has hands, feet, even has a face
    This thing … lost to tides of time … is me
    … but who am I … who is this forgotten thing
    … I should be a hero … no … that's not right
    …I need to become a hero … the hero

    I remember … shadows … feelings... maybe thoughts
    I remember... I remember the Nightmare
    sculpted into flesh … sculpted into thought
    sculpted into the perfection of pain
    The Nightmare … place … person … maybe
    It wasn't a dream … I wasn't asleep

    He killed me … the nightmare killed me!
    It tried to rebuild my mind, heart, body
    rebuild me into a weapon … the weapon
    But in that goal, he failed, he had to fail
    he had to fail for his goal is destruction
    and that destruction must come to all
    including the wretched Nightmare himself
    so even if it wins, it still loses
    so even if it rises triumphant, it loses
    for to gain all it longs for is to lose

    But how to get there… how do I win?
    I face the Nightmare and I am ... me
    How do I win against that! How do I live!
    How do I rise as triumphant as the sun!
    I don't have that kind of strength … I need more
    ….
    Now I remember! Yes! I can find the strength!
    I have the chance to find the strength!
    My work is not done, it has just begun.
    I've been given a gift from on high
    and I shall take that gift and I will fight
    I will cast off the chains of hell and rise up!
    I will scour every part of the land
    I will find my power! I will find my strength!
    and I will not rest until I've won


    That represents the character creation and a little bit of the trip through Cold Harbor. I have more notes from my new character's journey I just have to get them turned into verse.

    That's super cool. It's an interesting starting point to feel like you've been the hero you know you're going to need to become. Kind of an echo of the player experience knowing what's in store on your character's journey but waiting to see how it unfolds for them.
