I'm just getting the ball rolling here, after the need for such a topic came up in this week's meeting. The basic intention of this topic is to establish important characters in TR, including vanilla characters, and their agendas. Cumulatively, this includes the agendas of the faction leadership as a whole. I think discussion should focus first and foremost on factions with a presence in OE, as we aim to release OE sooner rather than later, and beyond that the major power-players of Morrowind. Factions like the Nail-Knock Reavers, the Kwoomriders (whose very existence is not, strictly speaking, established) and in my opinion the Blades should be discussed last.
Imperial Legion - Agenda: keep everything from falling apart.
Imperial Navy - Agenda:
Imperial Cult - Agenda: expand worship of the Nine Divines in Morrowind, protect citizens who worship the Nine Divines.
Imperial Civil Government - Agenda: protect and expand Imperial presence in Morrowind, stay on good side of local factions, undermine influence of local factions.
Tribunal Temple - Agenda: retain and regain support of Dunmer populace, defeat Dagoth Ur, retain Tribunal hegemony.
Almalexia (Almalexia) - Agenda:
Sotha Sil (Sotha Sil) - Agenda: dead/MIA
Vivec (Vivec) - Agenda:
Great House Dres - Agenda: get out of paying up on the Big Deals at all cost. Stop said deals from becoming known at all cost. Resist outlanders and their silly ideas at all cost. Cling on to old traditions at all cost.
Great House Hlaalu - Agenda: gain 'leadership' status among Great Houses, curtail Indoril influence, undermine Imperial presence in Morrowind in the long-term, establish a new direction for Morrowind.
This is taken from a forum archive thread, and may need to be updated, especially if we intend to keep vanilla faction ranks. Still, it's a start.
| Title | Name | Race | Place | Notes |
| Chancellor | Falena Narusa | Dunmer | Narsis | Upstart |
| Council Elector | Fethas Hlaalu | Dunmer | Narsis | established family; make him the Duke of Narsis District? |
| Council Elector | Ivul Hleryn | Dunmer | Ud Hleryn | established family |
| Council Elector | Llaasa Indarys | Dunmer | Kragen Mar | established family with Redoran branch. (House Indarys may have been a minor house in the Waters March which, much like the march itself, got partially incorporated into House Hlaalu). |
| Council Elector | Atran Oran | Dunmer | Oran Plantation | upstart family? (Along with Avon Oran in Suran). |
| Council Elector | Tholer Andas | Dunmer | Andothren | family status unimportant |
| Council Elector | Vedam Dren | Dunmer | Ebonheart | established family; Duke of Vvardenfell Disctrict, his seat are both Ebonhearts |
| ? | Orvas Dren | Dunmer | Dren Plantation | established family; boss of the Camonna Tong, member on paper |
| Council Elector | Dram Bero | Dunmer | Vivec | family status unimportant |
| Council Elector | %PCName | %PCRace | Nav Andaram | upstart; possibly gets the spot to fill a vacancy. (The prior Council Elector would get killed or otherwise removed during the Hlaalu and probably Indoril questline, and would probably just be stated to have been assassinated after the player reaches a certain point in the questline of any other House. Tholer Andas would be a likely candidate for removal). |
| House Peer | Crassius Curio | Imperial | Vivec | Outlander, Patron of the Arts, Sleazy |
| House Peer | Yngling Half-Troll | Nord | Vivec | Outlander, in bed with the Camonna Tong? |
| House Peer | Velanda Omani | Dunmer | Omani Manor | family status unimportant; probably moved there with Orvas Dren. Not sure if she needs to be a House Peer. |
| House Peer | Nevena Ules | Dunmer | Ules Manor | established family?; possibly from the family that originally controlled Suran before Oran took the position. Note that this does not automatically signify resentment of the Oran family, though it could. Not sure if she needs to be a House Peer. |
| House Peer | Reynasa Rethan | Dunmer | Odai Plateau | established if fairly minor family; gets Rethan manor. (I think we might as well keep the scripts as intact as possible, so she would only become a House Peer in-game). |
| House Peer | Ralen Hlaalo | Dunmer | Balmora | established family and very dead |
| House Peer | Nolus Atrius | Imperial | Balmora/Andothren | Outlander |
| House Peer | Eoli Frixaal | ? | Kragen Mar | Outlander |
| House Peer | Avrar Narsuaes | Dunmer | Othreleth Woods | the Narsuaes family generally hold at least one seat on the council, but Avrar generally tries to keep out of intrigues. He would be another candidate for Duke of Narsis District, in which case he would be an ineffectual duke whose sole purpose is keeping himself and his family out of trouble, not caring whether he actually does his job well or not. |
| House Peer | Edayn Sadras | Dunmer | Shipal-sharai, Sadrathim? | upstart |
| House Peer | Tharsa Omayn | Dunmer | Narsis | Established family |
| House Peer | Ivasu Raran | Dunmer | Narsis | perhaps newly established family; a relative of Llananu Raran. I don't think Llananu herself needs to be a House Peer, she just needs to come from an important family. |
Great House Indoril - Agenda: retain 'leadership' status among Great Houses, halt Imperialization of Morrowind, regain losses.
Great House Redoran - Agenda: hang on to remaining relevance, get House out of its malaise, stand against Dagoth Ur as a means to that end.
Great House Telvanni - Agenda:
| Title | Name | Race | Place | Notes |
| Archmagister | Rilvin Dral | Dunmer | Port Telvannis | Absent as per all Telvanni quest drafts since the 2nd era, made/is a pocket realm |
| Archmagister | Gothren | Dunmer | Tel Aruhn | His predecessor killed Ranis Athris' (Balmora Mages Guild leader) parents, ditherer, sits decisions out |
| Master | Therana | Dunmer | Tel Branora | Insane, has an active movement to overthrow her right outside her tower |
| Master | Dratha | Dunmer | Tel Mora | Hates males (disregard the ESO retcon), is pragmatic enough to look beyond that, oldest Telvanni Councilor |
| Master | Aryon | Dunmer | Tel Vos | Player sponsor, progressive, tries to gain support on the council be expanding it, views the Empire as declining force such as he built a museum for the Empire and the Dwemer |
| Master | Neloth | Dunmer | Sadrith Mora | Unrepentant asshole, might be lack of personality due to treatments with Sload Soap, defers to Archmagister in dialogue |
| Master | %PCName | %PCRace | Tel Uvirith | Outlander, sponsored by Aryon to get rid of his personal enemies |
| Master | Delvam Saryon | Dunmer | Telvanni Library | slated for removal?, part of aborted worldbuilding? |
| Master | Mithras | Dunmer | Tel Aranyon | Play Sim City in Ranyon-Ruhn, concerned about interference in his city, sort of progressive |
| Master | Vaerin | Dunmer | Alt Bosara | Hates the Tribunal Temple, the Empire slightly less |
| Master | Eldale | Altmer | Gah Sadrith | Loves tests of wit, subordinate of Rathra, recent addition to the council as reülacement of Narrusa Darythi |
| Master | Faruna | Dunmer | Tel Oren | Wishes to be left alone |
| Master | Ratha | Dunmer | Tel Ouada | Hates anything Imperial, opposes Mithras |
| Wizard | Baladas Demnevanni | Dunmer | Gnisis, Arvs-Drelen | Dwemer scholar (surprisingly wrong), can be gotten on the Vv council as part of Aryon's questline |
| Wizard | Narrusa Darythi | Dunmer | Tel Narrusa | "Mad Lord of Helnim", removed from the council due to madness and replaced with Eldale |
| --- | Divayth Fyr | Dunmer | Tel Fyr | Runs the corprusarium, was offered official membership of the council by Aryon but refused |

The above is naturally just a start; I've kept the spoilers where I've added stuff open by default for now so that people can see what little I've added so far. It may be tempting to discuss non-priority factions, and in and of itself discussing them isn't really bad, but to reiterate it would be better to focus on relevant factions for now.

Added the major Thieves Guild characters according to this plan. I'm not very familiar with the existing faction plans -- especially in regard to NPCs -- for Old Ebonheart, so some help there (or anywhere really) would be appreciated.

Hnng, what are the purpose of tags if the Search function doesn't use them!
Anyway, here's some stuff I dragged out of the old forum, though doubtless there is more in there. Not much to do with Old Ebonheart in particular, or, well, much of anything.

(I'll be updating this as I go, this is just a start)
Petition to change/add the Arena rulers to their appropriate settlements:
Hlaalu:
-Shalpar for Kragen Mar (possibly Llaasa's husband)
-Vermothah for Narsis
-Caspar for Andothren (I'm not too attached to this one tbh)
-Lady Shelelle for Uld Hleryn (assuming that's Heimlyn Keep, if not then whatever is our equivalent for Heimlyn)
-Nisik for whatever our Oaktown equivalent is
Redoran:
-Shalpar for Kogotel (I suggest picking one Shalpar and dropping the other, I don't particularly care which one goes/stays)
-Helkan for (I'm always forgetting the name, whatever the name for our equivalent of Reich Parkeep is)
-Niskan for Cormar (not a Redoran town in our version, so maybe he can be an Imperial instead)
-Vermith for Baan Malur (she can be one of the Redoran Councilors)
-"Princess" Demia for Kartur
Dres:
-Nisath for Tear
-Shalimar for whatever our equivalent of Corkarth Run is
-(Silnim Dale's ruler is "Count Helseth", while I'm personally fine with 2 big name peeps sharing a first name, I'm fine with not using this one for the TR equivalent)
Rawr.
