{Help Wanted} Builders for Noiral City Project.

[MasterAsia208]

First the "Special Thanks Section".

Wyldsong - For creating the awesome Noiral race. ;D

Arisen1 - For all her help with camps, voice overs, and textures. :biggrin:

 

Noiral City Project

This project was started, to add some depth to the incredible Noiral race...to give them camps, for one. But then it occurred to us, they also needed a city; one last hope. This idea calls for a hidden, and well-protected city. We're looking to recruit help to build such a city. The city in mind can be either underground, or above-ground; possibly on the top of a mountain. The only way into this city would be via an artifact. If interested in the possibility of helping, contact me or Arisen1. We will both be monitoring this topic.

 

Progress:

*Camps - mostly done

*Voice overs - work in progress

*City - not even started

*Textures - work in progress

 

The Noiral

"The Noiral were a small tribe of Nords who followed teachings laid out in an ancient manuscript written by Thadgeir the Tattooed Man, who was supposedly a hero of the Atmoran Civil war, and one of Ysgramor's five hundred companions. This manuscript and the secrets held within were handed down from Thadgeir to his son Yngvar, who was the founder of the Noiral. Upon learning these secrets, and mastering the rituals held within Thadgeir's book, Yngvar shared the secrets with a select few, who then sequestered themselves in the wilds of Skyrim, away from prying eyes to keep these secrets from the hands of those who would abuse the power. This tribe has survived in Skyrim, passing their secrets down from generation to generation, and has largely remained out of the affairs of Skyrim...that is until the Thalmor incursion.

On their crusade to stamp out Talos worship, the Thalmor discovered the Noiral's village deep in the wilds of Skyrim. Though the Noiral wielded great power, the Thalmor numbers were too great, and the Noiral tribe was decimated, and the village was burned to cinders and ashes. The few surviving Noiral are now scattered throughout Skyrim...

Thadgeir's Teachings:

Thadgeir's manuscript talked of Thadgeir's early journeys and travels to strange and unknown lands. It was in these journeys that he learned of strange rituals and rites, and that he branded his body with mystic symbols (earning him the moniker of "the Tattooed Man"). These symbols are said to bind primordial nature spirits to ones very being, and allow the branded to draw upon this spirit, granting them various powers and abilities." - Wylsong

 

Culture

"As for a culture, the Noiral are like a cross of a druidic, shamanistic, American Indian and of course Nord culture -- except their dress is more akin to Conan the Barbarian type attire. They revere and worship nature, and don't bond with a primal spirit until they reach their teens. The primal spirits they bond with are not the focus of their worship -- they worship nature and the natural order in general, and see their bound primal spirits as a gift of nature. Their settlement was not very large, with some living in simple tents, and others living in sparse homes of stone or wood -- of course the settlement no longer exists thanks to the Thalmor." - Wylsong
