Prelude
Since the death of the Septim family the realms of Tamriel have been thrown into a state of confusion with no real ruler anymore. Using this tragic turn of events to their advantage the governors of state have forced their way into control and seek to guide the people into a new age where religion is the only answer. Their blind faith in their religion has lead them to believe that the true evil in the world are those who practise and teach the ancient arts of the Arcane.
There was once a time when those who practised the arts of the arcane were viewed as saviours. The once highly respected Mage's Guild is now nothing more than a former memory forced underground by the radical beliefs of New Tamriel. Now blamed for the countless wrongs of the past and present, the Mages and their kin have been forced into hiding treated like diseased wretched monsters. Hunted by Common people and state police they have been left with nowhere to hide, no refuge to call their own anymore, forced to hide in mountains and caves and simply pray that they are never found.
A prayer that is likely to never be heard. The governors established a force with which to seek out and eradicate all Mage kind from the realms of Tamriel. The Shattered Star. A handpicked force of zealous knights, seemingly lead by the divine light of the Gods themselves. An army unlike any the realms of Tamriel had seen before, effectively a devastation squad sent out to capture and kill anyone caught or thought to be practising the arcane arts. Their armour forged with steel and the newly discovered Dark Light ore, a naturally formed mineral that contains a natural resistance to magic meaning that the armour of the Shattered Star is near impervious to the constant barrages of the mages they face.
A world gone mad and torn apart by radical beliefs...Tamriel's future is uncertain.
