Two months ago, on the 3rd of Second Seed, 2nd Year of the Fifth Era, The Cyrodiilic Empire of the Dragon, now ruled by the Last Dragonborn himself, was at war with the Aldmeri Dominion. The Aldmeri forces, with the support of both the Khajiit and Bosmer, manager to break the heavily defended border into Cyrodiil, sacking Leyawiin and besieging Bruma. The forces of the Dominion turned their gaze towards the Imperial City, and be it not for the Dragonborn, they would have successfully invaded it. While the Dominion retreated back into Elsweyr, the Emperor ordered the creation of the Great Wall of Niben Bay, which was supposed to shield the Heartlands from the forces in the south.

Menawhile, a young, amibitious man called Attrebus Tanius asked the Emperor if he could lead an expedition into Akavir. The Dragonborn was skeptic, but ultimately allowed the expedition, hoping that it wold bring the legendary riches of the Akaviri, which could fuel the war effort and the construction of the wall. The man lead a flotilla of ships to the continent, but only a single ship returned a month later, docking in the bay of Solitude. On board, as Tamriel soon found out, was something far from gold and treasure.....

....It has been 28 days since the outbreak of the sickness, by most simply called "The Plague", which causes men, mer and beastfolk alike to die, and just a while later, reanimate, as if under a necromantic spell. The Undead showed completely no signs of rational thinking, seemingly being only fueled by rage and the hunger for living flesh. Before the government of Skyrim could react, the cities were already overrun, and contact with the outside world was severed. The Empire, at first hopeful, sent multiple teams to investigate and quarantine the province, but to no avail. As such, the Cyrodiilic Empire ordered all borders leading to the province of Skyrim to be closed and very heavily reinforced, and announced Skyrim as a dead zone. The last remaining people in the province hid in the forests, caves and mines, while some managed to organise themselves into communities in abandoned forts or dwemer ruins. You are one of the only non-infected individuals still alive in Skyrim. What does this grim future have in store for you? Will you make it out alive, or will you join the hordes of Undead?

All the standard stuff, godmoding and OP characters are a no-no. The most important and non-standard rule is that magic is restricted. You can have spells but they cannot be any higher than Apprentice level for Destruction and Adept for everything else. This is to keep this RP more in line with an actual zombie apocalypse, and also to make it harder and more realistic. After all, not everyone can cast Expert Destruction spells, and your character, being one of the last living people in Skyrim, is very unlikely to know such spells.
 * RULES*

This RP is more brutal and demanding than most others. Your characters are extremely susceptible to becoming infected, there are no unique powers available for you to use (except for racial ones, which everyone starts with), and open combat with either the living or the dead is not reccommended. Use your wit and the will of surivival, rather than brawn and heroic attitude. Only the fittest will survive.
