TMiF Presents: Histories of Ulei'Var - The Risen War

Welcome to TMiF's homebrew world of Ulei'Var~

On the continent of Auscives, in the northern hemisphere of Ulei'Var, the country of Greymoor has seen her king fall at the hands of her Crown Prince. Unrest and necromantic magic ripples from the capital, Iron Pinnacle Keep in Vilimond, on the eastern shore. The new King, Edmund Morvaine, has his sights set on raising sleepy Greymoor to new heights of conquest on the backs of her people.

Alive, dead, or undead.

Tonight: Episode 88

The Heroes have traveled to the Barrowlands of Greymoor. The two and a half elves aren't fond of the idea of being here, especially after suffering attack from cursed undead, and consequences and curse are beginning to truly rear their ugly heads.

You don't want to miss this one!

Tonight: Episode 87

The telltale howl of shadow dogs revealed the return of Basker, Oreg's fiendish hound. The Heroes readily handled the beasts, but remembered the last time they were harassed. Deciding to press through the night into the Old Kings' Barrowlands, where Greymoor's old kings lie in repose...

Or at least, should be. The land is cursed, as Siegfried warned and as Gael reinforced with shared knowledge from the Shard. And the dead are restless there, without any of Morvaine's influence beckoning them to rise. Yet, deeming it the better choice, the group chose to enter the once-hallowed, now corrupted, ground.

Marius is on guard and Boffin is anxiously hopeful for what artifacts they could find to aid them. The elves are wary, Lt. Falke is uneasy. They're all tired. How will this play out for them?

Find out tonight at 9pm Central/10pm Eastern!

Tonight: Episode 86

With Oreg dead, the Nightwarden routed, and the Grim Keep restored to its correct ownership, the Order immediately set to work undoing the wrongs that had been done to the structure. The Heroes are given time to rest, at least for part of the day, though soon moved into the Keep as well.

Edwin is back, and is slowly on the mend from the hell he was put through. Things will take time to truly heal. And Siegfried, having offered what services he can to the Heroes as they need, called upon Boffin to speak with him about joining the Order... He was denied Initiation, but for the matter of his skills being better for other tasks that the Knights cannot do.

Now what lies ahead is a cursed land: Greymoor's Barrows of the Old Kings. Siegfried's warnings hang heavy over the excursion. After a few days' rest and a couple days' journey west, the Heroes find themselves hearing a forebodingly familiar howl...

Join us tonight at 9pm Central/10pm Eastern to see what they face now!

Oreg may have escaped them momentarily, but the Heroes plus Adrik were not going to let Morvaine's archwizard have much time to do anything else as they found him in the courtyard and once more readied to clash with the sorcerous old man.

But that sound over the trees... The clarion call of a horn familiar to the Lieutenant, and soon siege machines were turned upon the Knights' own keep! Battle without and combat within rages on as Oreg soon falters and is destroyed. Ishara emerges with Edwin -though both are exhausted- and a new terror, the Nightwarden, makes himself known, at least briefly.

Sensing he's been routed, however, the Nightwarden departs and the Keep is reclaimed!

Join us tonight in the Heroes' victory and the successful recovery of Edwin, at 9pm Central/10pm Eastern!

Having infiltrated the Grim Keep, the Heroes find themselves within the desecrated chambers and halls of the former home of the Knights. And a silent alarm rang through the fortress, soon bringing them face to face with none other than the Morvainean archwizard himself: Oreg.

The Heroes engaged the old spellcaster, combined with a few of the Morvainean forces' men that alerted him. Making short work of the latter, but Oreg himself slipped away in a crack of arcane energy.

Now to track him down... Join us tonight at 9pm Central/10pm Eastern as we continue our story of The Risen War!

What's your comfort game?

Feed your dashboard by answering my question, blogger.

Right now that might be Amber Isle, from @ambertailgames ! It's just such a nice little cozy dino shopkeeper game and I love it~ It lets me have an Animal Crossing feeling game without my FOMO making me feel like I HAVE to play so I don't miss out, and without seasonal locks making me have to wait in Real Time to get something.

Game that I can always come back to, though, that might go to Deep Rock Galactic. Brilliant game loop, it knows what it is, and it's just a hella fun shooter that feels good to play.

Do you skip tutorials as fast as you can?

Feed your dashboard by answering my question, blogger.

Depends on the game, but generally if it's a new game to me, I don't.

If it's a multiplayer game of some kind that I've gotten kidnapped into, then I'm rushing to catch up to my friends so while I would rather not skip the tutorial, I often end up doing that and learning along the way. xD

What's a side quest that was better than the main story?

Feed your dashboard by answering my question, blogger.

I really enjoyed the Morag Tong faction side quest in Morrowind. And I would be remiss to fail to mention Shivering Isles in Oblivion! Technically a whole new region rather than a singular side quest line but look, I'd rather go talk to Sheogorath than watch Martin Septim go be the hero of the Oblivion Crisis.

What game would you erase from your memory just to experience it for the first time again?

Feed your dashboard by answering my question, blogger.

Oh now that's just mean to ask. Hmm...

TES III: Morrowind, probably. That was my first Actual PC Game :tm: and I remember many fond hours of playing and modding my install and playing the modded install.

And many uses of the "tgm" console command that I'd like to not do on a first time playthrough. xD

Usually one of two. Either Eizoryu, or Zen.

The latter sometimes accompanied by Aquaria because that's my current handle~
