"SKYRIM is a cold and harsh land with a heritage more ancient than even the Nords who call it home. Being the first province settled by Man, it stands as a testament to the indomitable will and spirit of those early migrants from Atmora. Some of the greatest legends of the mortal races come from this name alongside names like Ysgramor, Hsaarik Head, and the future god of Man, Talos. The last settlers arrived from Atmora some time during the First Era, though scattered reports were found into the Second.
Now it is the Fourth Era and the races of Man and its great Empire are in grave peril. A costly war with the High Elven ALDMERI DOMINION has salted wounds not yet recovered after the Oblivion Crisis two hundred years prior with a fragile peace only reached with the signing of the WHITE-GOLD CONCORDAT, which, among other things, outlawed the worship of Talos, the patron god of Man and the Empire. The Nords of Skyrim, fiercely protective of their traditions, see this act as a betrayal and a strong movement of secession takes hold in Skyrim.
Drawn to his ancestral homeland from Cyrodiil, BRUSA BROADHEART, a young Nord only just breaking his mid-twenties, finds himself swept up in a skirmish on the border of Skyrim, setting in motion a chain of events foretold by prophecy that may usher in the end of the world..."
Hey there everyone! Been a while since I've posted anything, and I abandoned my last big project half way through, but I was struck with such inspiration for this latest idea that I figured I'd post it as I went along. The concept is fairly simple, a novelization of the main story of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in the vein of movie adaptations or those belonging to some other games. I intend to omit most of the side quest or non-civil war faction material from the game save for what is required in the main story and will be going with a traditional and lore-friendly protagonist, that of Brusa Broadheart, a young blonde-haired Nord Warrior like the default in character customization. Special attention will be given to detailing the world of Skyrim itself as well as the various characters and conflicts since I feel they weren't given as great a depth as they could have been in-game. If I manage to complete the project I may even see if I can get it to Bethesda's hands to see if they like it, or move on and give the same treatment to Oblivion and Morrowind. Hope you all enjoy!
