Pack Rat Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 As the morningtime fills the sky above Ebonheart, so begins life it's regular turn.Farmers march whistling to their fields while shopkeepers display their merchandise,keeping an eye open for an early customer.Here and there people gather up to gossip about the latest rumors or the latest fantasticstory. Things are like they have always been. Altough not everything seems to be like ithas always been.More imperial ships than usual lay in the docks while there is an unusual activity on the Hawkmothcourtyard. A large crowd of men and women, adventurers and farmers, seem to have taken half of theHawkmoth courtyard. The other half seems to be sealed off by a wooden fence. There are three holesin the fence that appearantly have to serve as passages to the other half.Next to each passage the Imperials placed a table where an officer sat by, sided by a pile of forms.Suddenly a soldier yells:"Form up three lines, one line in front of each table!" The mob seems to obbeyand forms up three lines. You witness how the men in front needs to fill in a form and sign it.After that he is led to the other half of the courtyard. Soon it is your turn and you do like all the othersin front off you. While walking trough the passage you see how an Imperial Knight and a woman look down on you and the others.They are clearly discussing something. You can't seem to recognise the armor the woman is wearing, nor the blade she is wearing on her back.The discussion seems to come to an abrupt end as the woman walks away angry while the knight looks the other way You four men gather up in front of a panflet. The Nord, the two Dunmer and the Imperial. It's the very same panfletthat convinced you to sign up. Tired of routine?Do you have the feeling you were ment for something bigger?You feel like you have something to prove?Than join us and come with us to Asgard!The land where heroes are made, the land where legends are formed!Fight the forces of evil and become a hero! Sign up at the Hawkmoth Legion Fort!Free armor,free food,free weapons! The Empire wants you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khamir Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Standing there Khamir looks around thinking he must be out of place. For everyone here seems to be seasoned adventurers or at least are outfitted like the such. He himself wears only a single pair of common clothes and a small wooden club he used for protection on the way. Looking at the group around him he trys to break the silence. "Hello, for my name is Khamir and I for one am happy to be out of my mundane life and am ready to learn whatever may be tought to us. For what reasons did you all decide to join" he asks of the group and waits for their replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MettaX Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 He passes by leaving only a sligth breese...glancing at possible targets of an unseen hand...such a crowd makes the day...he thinks and passes bij a smal group. He stops and turns his ear to the sounds of their voices... Ooc: you see a young bosmer dressed in old common clothes, he keeps his steel longbow and arows close to his body, your words seems to intrest him.

loveme4whoiam Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 OOC: Because we didn't know it had started ;) Erunánion checks his gear, and presents himself to the who named himself as Khamir. "Hail Khamir, i am Erunánion. I have joined to... remove myself from the public eye. I was an adventurer, and look forward to more of what i have so long been used to. And yourself?"

Khamir Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 "A good reason, myself I joined out of boredom and lack of food. For I am but a mere farmer and a poor one at that. My only hope is I make a better sodier than I did a farmer." Khamir replies to Erunánion. " Not only that well... I'll save that story for another time. I have a feeling that we shall have plenty of time to get to know each other. Besides I grow hungry and it's been awhile since I have eaten anything at all." Khamir stands awaiting for something to happen or waiting for orders, or what would be more to his liking is for supper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pack Rat Posted February 29, 2004 Author Share Posted February 29, 2004 ooc: And also Acoran joins in. Have fun ^_^ While you were busy talking to eachother there is all of a sudden a great rumor on the other side of the fence. One of the guards seems to have caught a young man. The boy clearly hasnt eaten in a few days and his clothes are but pieces of what they once were. One of the officers gets up and walks over to the guard. "Explain yourself!""It's a thief, My Lord! I saw him pickpocking some of the folks on the courtyard!" The officer looks down on the boy. He sighs and knods his head in disbelief. "There is hard punishment for theft. It's a shame for such a youngster to spend many years in an imperial prison. I'll make you an offer." The officer guides the young boy to the sign-up table and presents him one of the forms. "Sign one of these and you'll be cleared from any bounty and you'll have your freedom back after you completed your service. Or do you prefer prison?" You see how the officer waits for the boy's reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acoran Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Karath glances at the page, then at the guard, stuttering he says, "m'lord, i'm real sorry and all but I can't read. 'r spell...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pack Rat Posted February 29, 2004 Author Share Posted February 29, 2004 The officer sighs. He knows these type of youngsters. They are more common these days. The Empire has promished to build a orphanage in Ebonheart but till this day no signs of the construction yet. He has pity with the young boy. "On this paper stands that you will join up with the Legion. You get three hot meals per day and some armor and a sword. After you did your service, you are free to go where ever you wish too. Cleared from any crimes you may have commited, except for murder off-course. But I doubt you will have such an evil act on your conscience. Plus you'll make some money you can use for your very own perpuse. And if you can't read I'm sure there are a few men who'd be willing to teach you how to read and write. For now all you have to do is give me your name and I'll write it down. Then you just need to draw a little cross here witch means you are willing to join up. Altough I don't see much of another way in your situation... The army or jail. What is it going to be? Trust me, even where we are going you'll be better of than in those godforsaken prisons..."The officer seems to be waiting for the boys reply.

MettaX Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 "Must now even the less fortunate products of our society be pressed into the ranks of the military.. M'Lord..?" Asked Metthaï, while he searched his way true the crowd..his loud words became before toughts..but an arrow must finish his path. "Whatever you are feeding your soldiers i'm sure there is spare for the likes of him..whatever crimes he might have commited i'm sure we can talk it out without sending victims to a place of war, clearly he is not known with the ways of battle and yet you are willing to send him straith into the path of an enemies blow...! Or..do our imperial brethren have no care for what dies in the name of the emperor...?" His eye's meet the officers face as he waits for a respons.
