The search for the shards of talo's sword

[theredpheonix]

This adventure is for good roleplayers, or ones that are serious about it. It is for 3-6 or 7 people. The first 6 people to post a description of their character I will gm for. Also, this adventure is going to be a bit like starting skyrim. Please dont create characters with god like abilities or spells. Also, I would greatly appreciate reading the in depth backrounds. If you are going to make a character, i will probably give you your epic loot along the way, so please dont make them start off with full ebony mail or all daedric weapons, First tier weapons and armor would be great. This is going to be serious rp, so please no butting in and posting random comments, Thank you, and ill start the adventure after the first three good character posts.

 

Setting-

There is no one in all of tamriel who does not know about talos. He was the mightiest and greatest warrior of all time. He slew all of his foes, but every hero needs a weapon. Legend has it that talo's sword was shattered in a fight with a god, and scattered all through oblivion and skyrim ( the places not the games). Many adventurers and mercenaries have tried to find them all, but it is almost impossible. One of the only people alive today that is known to have an idea of where half the pieces are is jarl balgruuf the greater. The only problem with trying to find all the pieces is the thalmer and imperials. They have banned talos worship and will seek out people who try to collect the pieces. You are at the battered mare, a tavern in whiterun, when you meet people who seem to have the same goal as you. Maybe you could team up.....

Interesting facts- None at the moment, will add when i think some up.

History- Was born in a small settlement near the border of Skyrim. He grew up relatively isolated, his only contact with the world outside being with merchants who passed through. Around 2 years ago, during the middle of the night, his town was attacked by a very large bandit group. They showed no mercy and killed everyone who came out of their houses. After, they burned the houses down, watching to kill anyone coming out. He tried saving his parents, but they had already burned alive. His shirt caught fire and he ran out of the house, being shot at with arrows, one hitting him in the chest. Barely getting away, he ran to the river to put the fire out. Exhausted from running with the pain from the burns and arrow, he collapsed on the shore of the river. He awoke the next day and limped back to the place he had called his home to find nothing but ashes and the smell of burnt flesh.

[Flipout6]

Name: Verntonius Phellman

Race: Imperial

Age: 34

Appearance: Tan-skinned, with neck-length, jet-black hair, green eyes. Muscular, slightly taller than the average Imperial, but for thickness is about average.

Occupation: Paladin (destroying evil and helping people whenever he can, gains income by looting gear from fallen evil foes.)

Interesting Facts: moves easily even in some of the heaviest armor.

History: He was born and raised in a small isolated settlement, but when a group of Daedra worshippers arrived, they killed an entire family and enslaved the rest of the village. They commited numerous atrocities and crimes against the people, revealing that they in fact worshipped Molag Bal, daedric prince of domination. It took a year for the townspeople to rebel and cast down the worshippers, but the village was so ravaged that it was soon abandoned. The people struggled to make it to Skingrad, the nearest notable town, and they lost 3 more people along the way, quite a bit for a small settlement. Verntonious had fully realized the evil of most Daedra, with the exception of perhaps three or four. Joining the fighter's guild as soon as he could, Verntonious trained extensively, for he would need to be strong when he began his quest: killing every Daedric prince/princess, except for those that were neutral. (Killing Molag Bal, Mehrunes Dagon, Mephala, etc.)

Why he's searching for the sword: Verntonius needs the sword to kill one of the evil Daedric lords.

What brought him to Skyrim: Talos worship is banned throughout the Empire, and saying that you were looking for his sword would get you arrested. The only place in Tamriel where one could ask about the sword was Skyrim.

Abilities: Verntonius is skilled with Heavy armor, Shields, and blades. He is decent with a mace as well, but not nearly as much as with a sword. He possesses an apprentice level of knowledge in regards to restoration. He is good at fixing gear as well, and is learning how to smith.

Equipment: Iron Armor, greaves and boots (oblivion style.) Banded iron shield, Steel sword, Hunting bow and 25 steel arrows, plus regular gloves and travelling gear such as a bedroll, water and food.
