Commission I got from the Artist Brenepls

Some Character Lore:

Name: Andralia Volkihar
Race: Altmer, Dovahkiin, Vampire Lord

Personality: Warm and friendly towards those she actually trusts, like her sister figure Serana Volkihar. Cold and ruthless towards enemies and indifferent towards the population of Skyrim, seeing them as cattle to state her vampiric appetite and power.

Andralia after fleeing the Summerset Isle from Thalmor prosecution due to her non perfect Altmer looks (Ebony hair, cat green eyes) and the slaughter of her family crossed the border into Skyrim. She after becoming Dragonborn, further looked for more power for her revenge, after clashing with the Thalmor once more early on her adventure as Dragonborn. And find it she did, when she become a vampire when fighting them as a member of the Dawnguard. It wasn’t enough, so she further dove into more power upon accepting the might of a Vampire Lord from Harkon. After overthrowing him and becoming the head of the Volkihar clan, then defeating Alduin, Andralia continues adventuring across Skyrim with her best friend and sister figure Serana Volkihar.

In ES6, wherever we're playing it should be an area in which the Aldmeri Dominion are in control-with the Thalmor being the local administration. If we're in a non-Aldmeri area then keep whatever the equivalent of city leaders are, but have a very present and tangible Thalmor presence that affects not only the cities but the landscape itself.

Allow me to justify myself:

1. Why not the Empire?
Decay and an "end" of things was something Skyrim focused heavily on. The Empire has been destroyed or even fallen out of focus before-it can (and should) again. There should be an effort to glorify and promote the Aldmeri Dominion; the Empire has had this treatment, lets mix things up!

2. Morrowind "alien" environments
Oblivion was our generic fantasy, Skyrim our Viking fantasy, whilst Morrowind was something of its own; I think a shift toward the "unfamiliar" would be extremely welcome.

3. We love to hate the Thalmor
Rather than the very human-focused Skyrim Civil War, it'd be good to take the "human races" out of the main plot entirely. Let us have another game where Elves and Beastfolk take centre stage, reminding us of the rich setting we're playing in.

Besides, if you're a Talos loving human patriot wouldn't it be fun to play a game where you can work to undo them in a place with a decent climate?

4. It might make Bethesda make a good magic system
elves love magic. simple as

5. Thalmor Endgame as the world-ending threat
We all recall the theories about the Thalmor's endgame of bringing down the Towers and getting rid of non-elves, but since then I've seen many suggest the Thalmor aren't nearly as unified in their beliefs as some would think (beyond hating Talos).

Why not have the plot gradually uncover a cosmic existential threat posed by one group of extremists within the Dominion? Perhaps they accidentally unleash or engage with something they really shouldn't have? Paths for both pro-Dominion and anti-Dominion players here.

6. Reason number 6 will be released when it's ready, I don't want to rush.

Pulcharmsolis is a Skyrim Modder who creates armors in the style of PGE1 Elder Scrolls lore as also found in Morrowind and modding projects like Project Tamriel Rebuilt.
These are often much more interesting and less stereotypical takes on the cultures of Tamriel.

Here is his Nexus Profile

I started playing the remaster recently and I joined the dark brotherhood. The armor they give you just looks like it makes more sense than the version from Skyrim. The Skyrim dark brotherhood always reminded me a lot of ninjas which is a kind of assassin but the armor in oblivion just look more tactical to me. Didn’t think style would change so much after 200 years.

J'zahrin purchased the plot of land in Whiterun after being named Thane in recognition of his services to the city as a merchant.

He eventually built a basement beneath his home, which he mainly uses to store food, daggers, books, potions, and herbs from his garden for alchemy.

After spending so much time singing to his plants, he somehow caused a mysterious tree to grow, one that is surrounded by glowing blue orbs every night. He even hung a lantern from one of its branches to attract and catch moths.

If you liked the chapter, you can read the entire story of J’zahrin and his friends in order here:

The Tale of J’zahrin: Paw of the North Megathread, Complete Series (Ongoing)

This is a series created by me, Cursed_Changeling, about my OC, J’zahrin the Alfiq, and his adventures across Skyrim.

None one can tell me to handle Partysnacks, even my current character being a vampire lord still is thankful for Partysnack’s training as Dragonborn.
A classic Fus Ro Dah could have worked, but Vampiric grip in either vampire or vampire lord form can launch npcs a series distance! Plus it’s literally like using force choke.

A friend of mine made an app for viewing Premium Arts and Card Backs from TES:L in 1-to-1 look and full resolution. Besides browsing by collection, it also lets you record animations in various formats with set-up resolution

A few years ago, somebody posted the sketch made by Rosalhymm (https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/xumf4n/aranea\_ienith\_priestess\_of\_azura\_sketch\_by/). So, I found it and added some colours. I am not a professional artist and still learning, so your constructive feedback would be really useful and important for me. Also this isn't a final version.

For those who don't know, Aranea Ienith is a priestess of Azura from "Skyrim", living in the mountains north from Windhelm, and if you decided to pick Azura's side, she will become your follower, and she turns out to be really cool mage able both to tank with summoned atronachs and provide good fire support with expert level spells. She is also really beautiful and caring, but, unfortunately, unmarriable without the mods or console commands.

Too bad that she is really underrated because some people who don't know the lore, pick black star and get an angry, vengeful and determined deity haunting their Dragonborns in the future.

Found an .stl file online for Vvardenfell from a previous thread (https://www.printables.com/model/935723-vvardenfell-morrowind-map/files) and applied a geographic gradient and contour texture of it in Blender I usually use for real world mountains.

I was very surprised at how high the Molag Amur region and Caldera ebony mines are. The Grazelands look like tectonic plate given the uniformity of the mountain range they hit upon.

Does anybody know where to get models for buildings from Morrowind? I want to extract Balmora, Vivec, Sadrith Mora, Ghost Fence and so on and fill the elevation map with it.

With how long this game is taking and it’ll most likely be $80 I want both of the regions.

I know that there are many theories about the Dwemer sudden extinction, and some are accepted by the community as the “most probable” because of the logic behind them. But if someone out there has a crazy theory I would like to hear them. If you can comment on this post I would appreciate you sharing your own opinions with the community, have a nice day 😊
