Concept Summary

~

It is the one-hundredth year of the Fourth Era, and the Void Nights have finally ended. For two years the moons Masser and Secunda have been missing from Nirn’s sky. For most of Tamriel, this has been a curious and frightening occurrence, and Mage’s circles across the continent are in uproar, but that’s about where the implications of the vanished moons end. For the Khajiit of Elsweyr, however, this unnatural phenomenon runs much deeper. For the Cat-folk, the entire development of each cub’s physiology is determined by the twin-moons and the shape they took at the hour of the cub’s birth. With the moons gone, Elsweyr has suffered a mass loss of life, with every Khajiit pregnancy ending in a stillbirth. With no lunar lattice to determine what form a child would take, no Khajiit child born between 4E 98 and 4E 100 has survived.

Further, moon-sugar, a sacred narcotic and staple of many Khajiiti food and drinks, as well as a religious ceremonial substance, has ceased to grow, delivering a devastating blow to not only the Khajiit’s ability to sustain their population, but their ability to engage with an integral part of their culture as well.  Without the flow of moon-sugar, which the majority of Elsweyri natives are habituated to, many have underwent a withdrawal, depression, or worse, which has extended to kneecap their economy.

In other words, Elsweyr has been crippled.

Almost immediately after the moons’ return, amidst the joyous celebrations of the Khajiit, an Aldmeri ambassador from the Summurset Isles has landed in Torval, the capital of the Elsweyr Confederacy and seat of the Mane. The ambassador claims that Altmer mages have been hard at work to discern the cause of the moons’ disappearance, and with the development of a new kind of “dawn magick”, they have been able to unveil them and return the moons to Nirn. The Mane, their political and religious leader, endorses this claim, and the Aldmeri Dominion gains massive influence within the province, almost overnight. Before long, every notable Khajiiti aristocrat or merchantlord has Aldmeri courtiers and court-mages at their ear. Within fifteen years, the reach of the Imperial Empire, which Elsweyr had been independent of for just barely a century, has dwindled enough that the Dominion stage a coup, dissolving the unified Elsweyri Confederacy, re-establishing the ancient kingdoms of Anequina and Pellitine, and absorbing both as client states of the Dominion.

Within the new Aldmeri Elsweyr, the worship of Rajhin, a folk-hero, and apotheosized God of Thieves, is banned, much like the outlaw of the mangod Talos within the Dominion, due to the Elven assertion that no mortal could never become a god. Though not as heavily enforced as worship of ‘the Ninth Divine’, it is still used as a tool of oppression, and in some cases punished by death. Despite this, worship of Rajhin still persists in the shadows, and word begins to spread that the Trickster God’s legendary Ring of Khajiiti has been found. While the richest Khajiit in Elsweyr rub shoulders and drink with Aldmeri benefactors, the common-cats suffer enforced moon-sugar rationing, ever-increasing taxes, and a racist bureaucratic regime. All the while the Aldmeri preach of unity between Elves and Cat-folk, and their mages and scholars assert that the Khajiit themselves are descended from Elves, an idea which sways even some Khajiiti nobility.  But in practice, the High-Elves’ sense of ethnic superiority pervades every aspect of the alleged “alliance”. And on top of everything else, spies within the Renrijra Krin, a band of anarchist Khajiiti freedom fighters and Elsweyri separatists, learn a deadly secret: the Void Nights was staged by the Dominion. An act of genocide too cruel to forgive, and a truth that, if revealed, would shatter the Dominion’s grip on their land faster than they made it.

KHAJIITI takes place some time before the Dominion invades Hammerfell and the beginning of the Great War. It is told from the points of view of multiple characters within and without Elsweyr, and covers events over a number of years. It centres a story of rebellion, and of a people who have been the rope in a game of tug-of-war between two indifferent occupying forces for too long.

However, we know that by the 201st year of the 4th Era that any secrets concerning the Thalmor’s role behind the void-nights has not yet been revealed, and that Anequina and Pellitine are still under Thalmor control. KHAJIITI could be split into two parts, with the second half taking place over a century later, sometime between Skyrim and Elder Scrolls VI. It would see a seed planted in the first book come to fruition, and the truth grow towards the light.

Yet another thing I'm not 100% happy with but I really need to post more often and get out of my "not posting anything" comfort zone

WIP of my imperial heavy armour from Skyrim. That leather vest took about 35 hours.... I spared myself the pain and bought a chainmail, because my frustration capacity is low and making chainmail is a chore. Lets see if I will get judged for that XD

Not that Bethesda would do this but there is a way that the Septim bloodline could continue and it gives me an idea for an oc

Remember before his time in the temple of Kvatch Martin was a follower of Sanguine

The reason why I bring this up is because you can probably assume that Sanguine followers would have yk orgies and I think in general Sanguine worshippers are very sexually promiscuous

So what I am saying is there could be some lady Martin slept with and got her pregnant and then two hundred years down the line when The Last Dragonborn arises it is revealed that The Last Dragonborn is actually the great grandchild of Martin Septim

Imagine Dagoth Ur succeeded. He's got his armies attacking the Imperial City. He makes it up the stairs of the White Gold Tower where they've got the Emperor holed up

The Emperor, pushing 90:
