                                                                                                     The Aftermath of Oblivion.

This role play will take place directly after the events of The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion. The story is opened for anyone who wants to join, all you need to do is fill out a character application similar to mine down below. Please include as much information about your character(s) as you can, just try not to have more than two main characters. I plan for this to be a long term role play, filled with many plot twists, and dangers that force the characters to work together. For the start of the role play try to be either inside, or somewhere nearby the Imperial City, as it will be the main starting point of the plot’s events.

Just weeks after Martin Septim gave his life to seal the gates of Oblivion, High Chancellor Ocato struggles to maintain order as the other provinces begin to take advantage of the Empires weakened state. During the crisis much of Cyrodiil has been ransacked, vampires began kidnapping farmers from small towns and villages in fear of there food source being severally depleted. The Thieves Guild took advantage of the chaos and managed to steal an Elder Scroll from out under the nose of the distracted Empire. The Dark Brother Hood had carried out contracts by the dozen, just before a swift purification of there sanctuary in Cheydinhal. The Worm King Mannimarco has been killed by a member of the mages guild, thus leading to the appointment of a brand new arch mage. The fighters guild has dealt with countless issues threw out Cyrodiil, saving countless lives in the process. The Knights of the Nine have once again reformed, gathering the relics of Penlinal Whitestrake, before finally defeating Umaril the Unfeathered in the sky’s above Cyrodiil. The Champion of Cyrodiil has yet to venture into the mysterious Shivering Isles, remaining in Cyrodiil to investigate what she considers to be a serious threat lurking in the shadows of the weaken state of the Empire.

But now a new danger has arisen in the aftermath of the crisis, High Chancellor Ocato has summoned heroes from all corners of Tamriel to help investigate a series of brutal murders. Fearful due to the extreme natural of violence in the murders, he has offered a reward to anyone who can help help bring those response to justice. The champion of Cyrodiil has also taken up a interest in the investigation, but has so far been unsuccessful in finding out who is responsible. She believes the attacks to be a more serious threat than they seem to be, but High Chancellor Ocato suspects it to be committed by vampires who have become increasing aggressive in the aftermath of the crisis. While others believe it to be carried out by The Dark Brother Hood, some have even claim that it is the acts of a single serial killer. But one thing is certain, the Imperial City is the center of something very sinister. During the night a young boy has been murdered, his body left in the center of the Imperial Marketplace, with strange symbols carved into his body. The damage done to the body is so serious that he has yet to be officially identified, the only clue being a note left inside the pocked of the deceased boy.The Imperial City is in a high state of alert, guards patrol the streets searching home to home for whomever is responsible. While members of the Fighters guild and vampire hunters gather at the local Inns, discussing there opinions on who is behind the murders in recent weeks. The mages guild condemns the murders, urging High Chancellor Ocato they may be linked to some type of magical ritual conducted by the remaining members of Mannimarco’s followers. Rumors are running rampant about strange sights being spotted all across the province, causing great concerns of its citizens.

You can start the role play off by getting a letter from High Chancellor Ocato asking for your assistance with looking into the murders. That or you can make up your own reason for being in the Imperial City, just try to be inside of the city by the end of your first post if you can manage to do so.

The sword is much designed like that of a blade used by a knight of royalty, yet it is slightly longer than most swords used by knights. They created a few dozen blades until they found the perfect balance, creating a sword that is light in weight, but gives a her a slight range advantage over most other swords. The Blackthorn has two enhancements placed on it that make it special, the first being absorb health, and the second being soul trap. She also carries a pair of daggers in case she should become disarmed, they are a matching pair very similar to her sword. Shadowkiss, and Venomkiss, the blades of chaos.
