Everyone knows the Tale of the Last Dragonborn, they know the Dragonborn turned the tides of the Skyrim Civil War in the Empire's favour, struck down Alduin the World Eater and banished the last remaining hostile Dragons, shattered the path of destiny and redeemed Miraak and delivered a wounding blow to Hermaeus Mora, the Daedric Prince of Knowledge both physical and mental; what they don't know is what happened to the Dragonborn since he vanished for centuries, then later returned with the Nerevarine, and an army of Akaviri at his side. The two revered heroes returned to a new Empire and new era, one that the Aldermeri Dominion made through bloodshed and the slaughter of anyone that stood against them. The two heroes stood enraged and launched a rebellion against the Dominion, which lasted for fifty years before the war climaxed at the Throat of the World where the  Aldermeri  Empire set the Emperor's palace and resulted with the death of the Altmer Emperor, but didn't end the bloody conflict.

After the death of the False Emperor, the Dragonborn and Nerevarine gathered the now hopeful leaders of the enslaved races and created the Dragonfire Alliance and launched an official war against the Aldermeri Empire which lasted for twenty years before the Aldermeri Empire was finally vanquished, and in its ashes rose the Dragonfire Empire and the legendary Dragonborn was named the Emperor. The immortal Dragonborn gladly took the title of Emperor, and he begged the Divines for forgiveness for his sins during the war and humbly asked for their blessing for ruling the new Empire which he was met with silence but a feeling they now smiled upon him; with the Divines' silent blessing he officially announced with his sky-shattering Thu'um that he was crowned the Emperor and they now stood in the sixth era, and he offered the Nerevarine the position of becoming the Supreme Commander of the Empire's forces, but the ancient warrior declined and disappeared into the fogs of history once more along with the Akaviri army that fought beside the Dragonborn.

Ever since the Dragonborn's crowning, Tamriel has been in a state of peace and watched over by an Immortal Emperor and the Divines.

The year is 6E 748, the 17th of Last Seed; 1674 years since the Reemergence of Alduin and the Dragons; and two months since the appearance of the One Race, and their conquering of Tamriel and every sorrounding landmass except Aldmeris, Atmorra and Akavir. The One Race moved like a plague of locusts, quickly and systematically conquering each island, province and unclaimed land through many tactics...

The Dragonfire Empire lies crumbled, the Dragonborn gone without a trance, the Nerevarine and his army is nowhere to be seen, and the gods have fallen silent.

You are a prisoner, captured by the One Race and thrown onto a cramped ship and sailing to an unknown place, this is where the tale of the Forgotten Scrolls begins.

Rules

Standard rules, but beware, you're characters do have protection but you can't wave it around non-sensically because you will end up having it shattered if you charge off and try to fight something that you aren't ready for, push your limits too far, go too long without food, water and sleep. Bottomline; you are protected, but not invincible.

Alrighty, now, you're probably confused about the races, basically you can be any of the races you play as in the games, half breeds, Akavir races are the ones you can play without having to talk to me. If you want to play as a Daedra-whatever half breed as an example, you'll have to talk to me about it. One Race is off limits for now.

Oh, and of course, no bending the overpowered rule, if you do this it's likely I will be telling you off constantly, your character might be skilled at magic, but they have limited magic reserves, they might be a master swordsman but they can't block everything and can't take down armoured foes easily. Oh, and I'll be managing the stealth system unless you work something out with me for your character.

And you can't be the/a Dragonborn, or CoC, or Nerevarine or any of the other TES protagonists.

Note: this will be constantly updated if I think of something I need to add.
