Tamriel Rebuilt

I am also quite new here, but I know that it involves the moderators/ administrators in some fashion ,and they will respond when they deem it necessary

I think that even the skills that you demonstrated to be able to make the crossbow well are significant, and to make anything that can be more easily inserted to OB would probably be quite easy for you

I guess this is the author's reply, thanks for reveiwing the letter, and sorry for being away for so long.

Have any of the issues involving possible quests surrounding Fort Brena and this letter been talked about?

Yay, my first work to be marked Ready for BoT!

I must appologize for not being on TR for a while, but that's what happens when sickness compounds an already busy studying season...

Sorry about using the British way of spelling! I always forget that. I always thought that the one or two period thing was a personal preference. No matter, I'll try better to catch myself on those things next time. As for the alternate spellings of Treaho, Treiho, etc, would only one of those spell...

I like the designs, but I was wondering: Are the actual sign parts of the inn signs wood like on the alchemist one, or are they made of some kind of fabric. I don't think that fabric would make too much sense in the drier, sandier climates as they would likely be worn much quicker. But in Goldmoor a...

Commander Treiho's Response by Commander Treiho News of bandit and marauder attacks has previously reached Rihad. The roads south of Rihad and your Fort have always been in ill repair.

If you feel your skills are good enough for TR, couldn't you just make a completely new .esp that doesn't "resemble" exile at all?

the changes have been made, now it will be able to to be placed anywhere, not just the Elder Council chambers.

I would write this more as a pamphlet that exists, or was published, after being presented to the Elder Council, therefore it would not limit placement in the game. I need to clarify this, as I see where any confusion may have come from. for your second point, I agree that it may seem a little redun...

Yes, I downloaded that, and used it, but my problem was that I still didn't know what the rarity should be, and what type/ medium it was

I had the same problems as theviking

I did get the mod that includes both Stone Gate and Fort Brena, but with both of the two locations, I don't think I saw anything other than simple towers and inn type buildings(I don't remember seeing any NPCs). Maybe I have the wrong version. Or do I need to have all of the Hammerfell maps so far i...

Fort Brena has already been put into TR map 9 download or something like that.

The name is based off of the Brena River directly to the north (or south of Rihad)

Compendium of Imperial Commerce
by Akil Florius

The actions of the Elder Council often have resounding effects on life in the Empire. Recently, the actions of the young representative to the Forebear Redguards has caused quite a stir. Akil Florius has convinced the conservative council to support an increased trade agreement with Southern Hammerfell. This is no small feat, as individual members of the council are most often interested only in the region which they represent. How did Florius convince the skeptical group to support his goal? The Black Horse Courier is proud to present their publication, a version of Akil Florius’ “Compendium of Imperial Commerceâ€Â￾ which has been adapted into print for your reading pleasure!

My esteemed colleagues, I find and I believe that in our history of dealing with the citizens of Hammerfell a trend of increasing acceptance of our power does truly exist in the region controlled by the Forebears. In my position as ambassador of the Elder Council to Forebear Hammerfell and under auspices of the Imperial economy, I propose that a heightened trade agreement through Colovia to Southern Hammerfell would be beneficial to all involved interests.

For those colleagues of mine who sit upon the Elder Council and yet are uneducated of the quibbling of Redguard factions, you must understand the importance of the position occupied by the Forebears. It is only with comprehension that a mutual trade arrangement will be negotiated. The Forebears are a proud people and their devotion to the power of the Empire and to the worship of the Nine is quite commendable. The history of the much-admired warriors of the Ra Gada, those who we call the Forebears, is one of assimilation to the Imperial ways while rebelling against the oppression by the traditionalist Crowns and also demonstrating to Hammerfell’s “moderateâ€Â￾ Lhotunics the benefits of the Imperial culture.

Trade has always been a meeting point amongst our own culture and the cultures of Hammerfell, and Redguard history can show us the current need to multiply trade routes across our borders. Our Imperial race first had contact with the Ra Gada, here colloquially known as Redguards, before the second era in the form of trade. Commerce caused a certain portion of their society to embrace Imperial mannerisms, dress, language, and even worship of the Eight. Trade has always been a connection between our two peoples, and there is no better time then now to foster this relationship. In the second era, Hammerfell's society split into two major camps: the Crown, who continued to support traditional Yokudan traditions; and the Forebears, the descendants of the original Ra Gada who wished to assimilate into the fine culture of which we already called our own. With their willingness to trade, the Forebears began to become very prosperous, making their capital, Sentinel, into the merchant giant which we know it as today. Seen in the explosive expansion of Sentinel, the extremely beneficial effect of trade between Cyrodil and Hammerfell will help the region of the Colovian West prosper in a manner reminiscent of the era of Sutch.

Any trade agreement, my good friends of the Elder Council, will need a rigorous outline, so allow me to push the process into motion. The Redguards have experience in growing crops, especially fruit and grain in their desert climate, which could supplement the Imperial Province's agriculture. Imperial expertise on the construction of sturdy roads as well as the surplus of building supplies found in our own homeland would be seen as beneficial in the more arid, desert-like regions of Hammerfell, especially in the southern Alik'r and on the Helkori Plains. Long ago, the Empire built forts for defense along the Black Road form Chorrol, and their strategic position would be the perfect point from which to promote and regulate a steady stream of trade goods upon numerous caravans. The ideals and prosperity of Sutch could return to the Colovian Highlands and the lower stretches of the Imperial Reserve. Minerals from the mines of Chorrol sold as luxury items in foreign markets could raise empire-wide recognition of the city’s buried riches. Cultures of Cyrodiil mixed with the cultures of the Ra Gada will enrich daily lives of the Empire's citizens, and there are no finer economic allies in all of Tamriel than the proud Forebears of Hammerfell.

Council members, I must stress the importance of building a strong relationship with the Redguards. We have both historically benefited from first and second era trade enterprises, and adding a land-based component to the already booming sea trade routes will only improve the situation. In this position, it is truly a great opportunity, a great requirement, that we here today shall solidify the foundations of this great economic pact.

Sealed Letter by Captain Rinison Mirel of Fort Brena This report is to be delivered to, and read ONLY by, Commander Traeho of Rihad, Queen Clavilla of Taneth, and Akil Florius - Forebear representative on the Elder Council. This is the formal request for increased support to be sent for Fort Brena....

the name Traeho sounds much better than Commander Merius, but he IS a commandeer right? Also, since Fort Brena is so close to Rihad, it would have close ties to the city even though it is in Cyrodil. Therefore, an appeal for Imperial and Taneth support would be taken well if it promised profit to th...

So if I changed the name of the fort from Fort Harstenn to Fort Brena or Stone Gate, it would fit in better with what TR has already decided upon, but what of the names of the captains, commander of Rihad, etc? for example Sealed Report by Captain Rinison Mirel of Fort Brena This report is to be del...

This will now be where I post all of my questions (once in a while there will probably be a lot of them). I am doing this to follow advice given to me Questions #1 Answered Questions #2 For the first response to my Sealed Letter: http://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/old_forum/viewtopic.php?t=18496 I have ...

I'm glad to be part of the team!

Another question though:
should I post this essay in the Literature and Writing section?

I suppose the wait was alright. It gave me the chance to begin on my next work, a correspondence between a trade outpost and high-ranking officials of Rihad, Taneth, and the Elder Council. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Now that I am a TR Modder, what happens? I...

Thank you

That would certainly be nice.

I knew about Fargoth and the mudcrab merchant, but I have never heard about M'aiq other than my own observations.

Thanks for the imput.

In Morrowind, I remember quite clearly speaking with a crazy Khajit on some random deserted island in the remote northwestern Sheogorad Region. I think he was M'aiq. I just found the screenshots I made. He was named M'aiq the Liar back then. talking mudcrab merchant M'aiq has heard of this. They've ...

I dont think it would be too hard to reference the profession of Dreughing. Just put some crazy guy in a port city that wants to tell his stories about his younger years. He could sort of be like a M'aiq character, maybe, telling strange rumors. Something like that could be used if deemed necessary.

Ayleids, you can look for information from quests, such as The Collector ( see Umbacano in IC). Also, there are several books in game (The High Fane, The Last King of the Ayleids, etc).

I know, but I was the source of the humour to begin with.

Not that I mind at all, of course.

thanks. now I have to find an image... guess I could have thought of that earlier

I'm glad I could be entertaining, Dexter. I see that I may have already developed a nickname thanks to my writing style. Not that I really care, Lotsa Words is probably better than grumble_dog12 (which is my MSN address)

I don't know if it is something I can't get until I become a modder or what. But, I cant figure out how to put one in my profile page

please tell me if I can get one and how

thank you
Grumble Dog

I don't know if you have the same situation as I did, as the installer would not initialize the install for me. I never actually had the patch installed. If you really want to try re-installing Oblivion, you could try that, just be sure to back up any mod data (I don't know if that gets removed on u...

Good job!

The Pale Pass quest from the countess of Bruma may help you out... She seems to have done extensive research on the Akivari.

I hope to go to Sweden myself some day, as I am one half Swedish. (not that I know the language at all...)

Yay!
Grumble Dog

Thank you. I guess that my eloquence has caused my sentences to be exceptionally long in a detracting manner. I will make the effort to control that in the future

I guess that I do seem very anxious, (though people always tell me that) and I'm sorry if I seem overly impatient or anything like that

Thanks, I'll PM Xui'al right away.

I sort of misunderstood you I guess. If I am accepted for my showcase, I would be glad to write about any completed concepts or meshes, etc, though. I don't mean that I will only write about architecture of course, I just assumed that it would be an intersting topic, and one that certainly intersest...

I'm not sure how quickly the process of judging a showcase usually takes, but in case no one has noticed, my showcase has been posted for almost a day. I was wondering if anyone would like to view it in the Showcase section, if you have the time...

thank you
