LE Where are the Elves???

[DanielLiswinski]

Since I saw so many Screenshots, Videos and read descriptions, it seems for me, that there are even lesser Elves than in Oblivion. So I'm asking you, if it's possible, to put more Elves into the World and the Cities of Skyrim.

Or we all could write a letter to Bethesda, that the Next Part TES6 should be on the Isle Summerset with much more Elven Things. :D

But let's come back to my Request: More Elves for Skyrim. A simple Request. Nothing special. Maybe one of the Cityrulers could be an Elv. Or to join them...... aahhh.... just add some more Elves to the Cities and I would be happy. :D

considering the backgroud (the nord as i can see are very racist) its normal to see few elves (an example is Windhelm) after the distruction of the Red Mountain al lot of dark elves had reversed in skyrim, making the thing eve worse Edited February 29, 2012 by yota71

Everyone's a racist in the 4th era. I exaggerate, of course, but there's a grain of truth to it. I see 4E 201, when the game is set, as analogous to the interwar period in Europe, from 1918-1939 (there are other real-world historical parallels as well, of course). OP, keep in mind that Tamriel has just been through one of the most brutal and total wars in its long history, one that pitted Man against Mer, and that Skyrim is the heartland of humankind in Tamriel. The fact that there are any Altmer or Bosmer walking around free is something of a surprise, and can mostly be attributed to the fact that the Empire was forced to make peace on unfavourable terms.

 

If more Altmer or Bosmer are brought in, I'd like to see it done in a lore-friendly way. which would mean putting them at odds with most of the population of Skyrim. I know a lot of Thalmor fanatics have been agitating for something along those lines, so it's likely there's something like that in development.

Sort of off topic, but still having to do with elves in Skyrim, I think it would be interesting if there were a mod that allowed you to join the Thalmoor.

How about this:

What about creating a mod with following Background:

Ahem,...

After a long time of brutal War and murdering of nearly all Elves, many Survivers fleet in there Homelands. But there was a small Group of Survivers, lead by a powerfull Highelf with shiny Armour, who took Control over an old and abandoned Fortress on one of the most important Trading Roads of Skyrim, to plan there Revenge.

But it took not long and so the last off the Elves where located and a large Army of Men went out to finally get the last Part of Mythology closed, For Ever.

And so it comes to the actual Situation, that a small Group of Elves, gathered in an instable Ruin who fight for there lives against the never ending Army of Men. It is yours to decide wich Site u will join in Battle. Will you be the one who shows forgivness? Or will you be the one who will show no mercy to Enemys of the Empire?

It is your's to choose.....

 

The Quest could begin in the Tent of the leader of the Men army. You will be sent out as an Herold to get the capitulation from the Elves. But will your Heart be cold like the Nights in Skyrim, or will you leave your anger behind when you see young, old, women and injured, Survivers from earlyer attacks? You will be lead to the Leader of the Last Elves (shrouded in Mysteries and Bedstorys to scare Children). There you will have to choose, will you still fight enemys, you could beat easyly alone, or will you help them in the last defence? Excactly at that Point, where you will speak with the Leader in his shiny Armour should be your turn. Kill him and his guards, climb up the stairs of the old tower and give the Signal for the final Blow, or show a Heart and help for good. Will you help? Than you can give orders to the remaining troops. Darkelves and Highelves, both Skilled with Magic and Weapons can be good melee fighters. Woodelves, skilled with Bows can be strong Distand Fighters, but can also defend themselves in close distance. The forces of Men Army has most Imperial Soldiers, Nord slaves (when you kill a special imperial Commander near them, they will turn against the imperials and help your defending Troops inside the Fort), Captured Giants, Catapults, and much more ( It IS a big Army).

But no matter, how you decide, you will get a mighty Reward from both sides. But don't expact to much from the killed Women, old and Children. They have got nothing but the clothes on theyre Bodys. Only the Leader and his remaining Soldiers are wearing Armour. Highelves with the Elven Armour, Darkelves with a fitting Armour for them and Woodelves with some kind of Leather Armour and the Mages could wear some kind of enchantet Thalmoor Robes. Also the Leaders Sword could be a Stand alone Model of one of that Elven Swords, we used to know in Oblivion. He could also wear a unique Armour, Re textured or Standalone it doesn't matter. But it should look awesome and Mythic.

After that Battle you will be always welcome to all the Elves from Skyrim (even the Thalmoor and Bandit Elves who will join you in Battles), they will open the Trading Road again and will try to restore Peace with your Help and the Help, of the Leaders of Nord Cities, like Ulfric for examble. You will get +100 to all Elves, thats the Reason, why even the Bandit Elves will turn against the other Bandits. Also you get the Option to tell them, to got to the Fortress and Help, rebuild it (in Elven Style! :D) and join the Elven Soldiers there. If you got a Female Human Char, you can marry the Elven Leader and become Queen (with the fitting Outfit of course ;) ) and to show the Human Kind, that there is no more Reason to fear them anymore. If your Char is a Male,... hmmm Gay Marriage? Maybe if we aren't racists anymore! Or you will be pleased with the Rank of his Highest Commander ( He will still be the Leader of his people) and the powerfull enchanted Armour an Weapon yo gain.

 

Will you still be part of that racist empire and slaughter defendless Elves, the Empire will gladly put you in the Rank of Commander of the North. Your Reward will be a re- tex of Tullius' Armour and Sympathie + 100 to all imperials in Skyrim. And only +20 to all Nords, Bretons, + 15 to Redguards, Argonians and Orcs. In the Elven Way you will gain + 80 to Nords, +75 to Bretons, Argonians, Redguards and Orcs. It shoulb better, to finish all Mainquest Parts and Sidequest Parts of them, before playing this. But it would be good, to have some Random quests, like defending the Fortress Worker from Bandit Attackers, or th Protect a Deligation of Diplomats from the Fortress to each City of Skyrim to talk to theyr Rulers. And finally, after the Castle is rebuilt, you can choose a Name for it. Something that fit for a Nordic- Elven Relationship. Maybe I will edit some more interesting things to this one. But for now, thats all I have to say.
