Morrowind Liberation Front

FoxTamer · Post by **FoxTamer** » Fri Feb 06, 2004 5:38 pm

How about a Morrowind Liberation Front. This would be an (underground) organization of Dunmer trying to sabotage and ultimately remove the Empire from Morrowind.

It would probably be organized and led by young Dunmer radicals and hotheads, but quietly backed and financed by established Dunmer aristocracy.

Their tactics may be terroristic in nature, and/or they may pursue more subtle, economic and cultural means. At bottom they are more political than religious, although they will use the mantle of religious culture to inspire followers.

I like the idea, I dont like the name, sounds too post industrial
if they were a secret organization, theyd prolly be something such as Order of the blah blah
I do think this would work very well with the main quest idea of bringin down the empire in morrowind, you should talk in the thread and suggest this

How about:

Sons of Resadyn?
True Heirs?
Order of the Black Rose?

Or maybe something dunmeri:
Ald Aedra (supposedly Dunmer/Aldmer: First Ancestors)
Kogotrah Tong (steadfast/invincible Fighters Guild)?

I like the Ald Aedra, sorta just rolls of the tongue, plus it sounds pretty fantastic

Or what about "Scions of Chimer"?

Sorry guys, but the idea was already taken by a real old-timer, Lorded. He created a faction like this, called "Scions of Chimer" for his city Sailen Vulgate. This was a long ago though, so his work might need to be updated (our knowledge of lore has increased over the times

) but apart from that, it shouldn't be a problem contining his work on this faction

It's just a matter of finding the last version of Sailen Vulgate.

I like Ald Aedra too. Maybe Scions of Chimer could be expanded and elaborated as Ald Aedra.

Or maybe Scions of Chimer is a local chapter of Ald Aedra.

Or something.

how about a few different movements for independance

1-a group looking for more autonomy for morrowind they would be nonviolent and respectable

2-an underground sabotage and spying movement

3-guerillas living in the hills who would sporadically attack imperial forts and "commandeer" common people's possesions

If you were in the legion or blades you would be given missions to hunt them down
You could be a double agent if you were in the blades so as not to cut you off from this if you completed MW main quest
in true freedom fighter fashion the only thing that these movements hate more than the occupying poweers would be the other resistance movements

Wow... this was quite the necromatic trick.

3 factions that could basically be in one? why make it so complicated...I would add a bit of humour and make tehm rather incompetent young Dunmer who lack of experience, intelligence and especially money...but who still go about bitching against the empire, maybe even doing a few public and rather useless demonstrations against them, sort of like a bunch of adolescents that group in one of their basements to fight against anarchism or something...

Uh-huh.

How about the whole faction be like Ald Aedra, and the higher ranks be the Scions of Chimer. or whatever.

Like the Order of the Arrow, it's like this:

OotA
Brotherhood
Vigil

where as a Vigil is someone who is one of the best in the Order.

Aren't there already guilds doing this?
House Dres
Camonna Tong
House Telvanni

As I have learned more about lore issues in morrowind I would have to agree with stumpy.

The Scions of Chimeri was a good idea... It would have been enjoyable to play as/against and did not specifically go against lore (the whole "not mentioned" by bethesda thing) because it is a relatively new movement. However as a "new movement" they exist as an interpretation of lore and an extension of plot elements into the future. This I believe is a bit much and should be remedied. I outline an approach below.

The Scions of Chimeri should not be a faction per se... but instead a group of people with a common ideology. They could include Camonna Tong, Indoril, Dres, Telvanni... anyone with an interest in removing the empire (so they would all belong to their appropriate factions). Any reference to "Scions of Chimeri" or any other name we give to them could be best done through dialogue if at all.

We should remove them from faction status and either drop them into other factions or no faction at all. Then the questmakers can go ahead and make miscellaneous quests for each "cell" on an individual basis.

Thinking back on it, it was silly to think that there would be an organized, widespread guerrilla movement against imperial rule at this time in Morrowind's history. None exists in the game and if it did exist surely it would be mentioned or featured (actually thinking about it: Dagoth Ur's Sixth House Movement is the true guerrilla movement, but that is a conversation for another time).

However this does allow for a disorganized and decentralized movement. It would not be a faction, nor should it be one. At this point in time it would be like-minded people aggregating against the empire. Each region with those people probably wouldn't have much or any contact with such people in other areas, at least not yet.

The best and easiest way to do this would be to make some NPCs (non-hostile) in various caves/hideouts who badmouth the empire. Also custom dialogue on Telvanni, Dres, Indoril, Camonna Tong, etc etc NPCs that is anti-imperial would have the desired effect. Quest-makers could create quests to hinder them (if you are imperial) or quests to help them.

you just described Al Qaida there, in a nutshell.

interesting idea, and i think it should/could be done, and i would love to be a terrorist in morrowind... as for names... i did like Ald Aedra, and the 'Sons of Resdayn', which is kinda leke the sons of liberty, who were american liberation terrorists in pre-revolutionary america. go figure.
