Category:The Unsung Heroes of the Oblivion Crisis

The Unsung Heroes of the Oblivion Crisis is a spin off story to the Legend of Nirn by Psychomantis108, it focusses around Agatha Tira in the closing days of the Third Era. Though it takes place during the events of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, it's events are not connected  to the main story of that game and instead show the Oblivion Crisis from a different perspective.

Agatha is intregued by the gateways to Oblivion and decides that she wants to jump in and explore them, she sends letters to several adventurers, across the land of Tamriel, inviting skilled hirelings from all over the Empire.

Introduction:

The year is 3E 433 and the emperor, Uriel Septim VII, and all of his heirs lie dead. They were murdered, by an unknown group of assassins, who are still at large, plotting against Tamriel and its people. As a result of this, the people of Tamriel have grown frightened, as hellish gates to Mehrunes Dagon’s plane of Oblivion have opened across the continent, unleashing the horrors that dwell within.

Many common minds see nothing but disaster in this, as everything they know could be destroyed by the unknown and forever blighted and tainted by its evil. However, the less common see opportunity in this rare occasion as these gateways offer a rare chance, to see another plane of Oblivion and discover its secrets.

One such mind plans to do just that, as soon as she discovered the existence of these ‘Oblivion gates’ she grabbed her quill and began writing letters to any lead she could get, looking for the best that Tamriel had to offer, to take on as a hireling.

She sends her crows all over the continent, delivering them to those she deems worthy of such an opportunity.

Dear [Character]

''I write to you because I am in need of some skilled people, to accompany me on my up and coming expedition. ''

We are currently living in an opportune time, a time that many see as a ‘crisis’ but where most see crisis, I see opportunity and I intend to step up and take that opportunity before it passes me by.

''   I am of course talking about the gates to Oblivion, what seem to have spawned, all over Tamriel. Some of you may have heard whisperings about them, as I hear that some provinces have them outside their city gates.''

''I plan to take my expedition through one of these gates and into the unknown. There we will find treasures, knowledge, ingredients and weaponry, beyond the imagination of any common man or mer. I only have interest in one thing and one thing only, anything else you find is yours and you may take whatever you find in the realm, as much as you are able to carry.''

''Of course, there is a catch. What I seek lies at the heart of the Oblivion gate and reaching it will be more than difficult. I seek the very thing that powers such a portal into our world, I know what it is, I know where it is and I know how to retrieve it and use its power.''

''In order to retrieve this item, we will have to travel deep into the realm of Oblivion, right into its heart. The journey will be perilous and I have no idea what horrors you will face but I know that it will be worth it, for all of us, in the end.''

If you are intrigued by my proposal then meet me at the Drunken Dragon Inn, just north of Leyawiin, Cyrodiil on the 12th of Mid Year, where we will gather before setting off, into the gates of the unknown, straight into our rightful place in legend.

Yours faithfully

Agatha Tira
