ELDER SCROLLS

Haha, it's Elder Scrolls because I have Oblivion! And Arena too, but I haven't got around to dolling my loverly Arena character yet. Besides, there's only one of her, since it's a bit harder to make a multi-character epic of death, doom, love and betrayal when there's a fairly perscribed role for your character. Ah well, true open ended came next, and the world was a better place for it!

I don't have as many of these as I do KotOR dolls, even though I have far more ES characters. That's what they get for taking over almost all of my drawings. So I don't think I'll have a long ranty about them up here. You'll just have to see FOR YOURSELF.
Okay, I'll tell a bit. Ralf, Dari, Lars and Rasha are from Oblivion, Ijiir, Ladear, Thistle Flower, Rori and Ko'Paki are from Morrowind, or at least what passes for Morrowind in my world. I've got a very odd way of looking at Tamriel.

Since I don't have time to rant about their entire backstory for ages like I can with my KotOR characters, because I've only got about eight-ish KotOR characters and an an ungodly number of Morrowind/Oblivion characters. So I'll just post what guilds there in.

Ralf of Cyrodiil is part of the Fighters' Guild, the Mages' Guild (though it's only a matter of time before they kick him out) and is currently Grand Champion of the Arena. I hated all the names that they give you, so they call him "Sir Slaughter" in game due to its hilarity. However, he goes by Umbra, his sword that tends to be the indentity of its wielder. He is also the character that is probably going to beat the main quest.

Dari is a member of the Thieves' Guild and the Dark Brotherhood, though she won't shut up about the Camonna Tong, which is actually quite dead by the time Oblivion starts, so it doesn't count. If Ralf lazes about too much, she might swoop in and take the main quest from him. Unfortunately she wants the Empire dead, so the whole premise fails.
She is also a Knight Errant of the White Stallion for completely inexplicable reasons that mostly had to do with her being at the right place at the right time. They almost kicked her out after the orgy incident, but she digs Lord Leyawiin's style, and she's too good at what she does. Whatever it is that she does.

Rasha's frighteningly freelance, though maybe she'll actually be devoted to the Fighter's Guild. If it were possible, I'd join the Blackwood Company, since they TOTALLY ROCK MORE. Mean ol' Fighters Guild vs. Argonians and Khajiit. WINNER. She's also a vampire, though I haven't got any dolls of her as a vampire quite yet. Le sigh. She's in it for the cash.

Lars One-Eye is the member of the Mages Guild sent to keep an eye on Ralf, due to his necromantic suspiciousness. So obviously he's a member of the Mages Guild. He's rediculously goodie-goodie, but I've a sneaking suspicion he'll end up doing well in the Thieves Guild. Either that, or the Mythic Dawn, which'd be hilarious. As if he didn't want to kill Ralf enough.
And no. I do not know where the eyepatch came from. He lost his eye. Somehow.

Meanwhile, back in Morrowind. People do stuff.

Thistle Flower is the Night Mother of the Morag Tong (I refuse to call it Grandmaster. It's Night Mother. Gender neutral term.) and a pretty high up of the Mages' Guild (she's too busy to be Arch Mage, by which I mean I hit a bug that doesn't let me progress). She's also Neravarine, but she really despises being Neravarine. Call her that, and you either offer money and respect, or die.
There's also plans for me to do stuff with Neravar, who'll effectively be the exact same person, only a Mythic Era Chimer warlord dude instead of a revenge obsessed Argonian chick from the Third Era. Yes, including the whole Morag Tong thing. Neravar in the Morag Tong would be the best thing evar.

Ladear is a member of House Redoran, a member of the Mages' Guild (second best guild ever, after the Morag Tong, even though I continually hate them) and a member of the Temple. He's a bit questionable. Very questionable. He's also got questionable parentage. As in, more questionable than Thistle Flower, for whom "questionable parentage" was a requirement.

Ko'Paki PWNZ House Hlaalu as their Grandmaster, and is a vampire of Clan Aundae. However, she and Clan Aundae are not really on the best of terms, ever since . . . well, ever since she got embraced in a very inelegant way. (Think crazies in tombs, and you'll be fine.) She may or may not have Thieves Guild connections.

Ijiir has the best combonations of factions ever, being very high up in both the Imperial Cult and House Telvanni, and is equally devoted to both. For people who KNOW THE GAME, yes. That IS as odd as it seems. For people who don't know the game, House Telvanni is the local clan of looney mages with odd morals who hate basically everyone (mostly the Empire, at this point) and the Imperial Cult is the Empire's major religion of peace, tollerance, conquering stuff, and not skinning your slaves alive. They conflict with House Telvanni on all of those issues. Particularly the skinning your slaves alive part.

Rori's just in the Morag Tong, and ends up taking over as Night Mother after Thistle Flower decides to run off and accend to godhood. He takes it in a different direction. But no matter who is in charge, the Dark Brotherhood is going DOWN.


Anyhoo.



Base They've finally made a mod that adds this type of clothing to Oblivion. I was sorely disappointed when even SHEOGORATH fell to the lures of medival clothing, as opposed to loverly banker clothing as seen here. So now that they've got this mod, I can be happy. Even though it doesn't look exactly like this.
It even comes in a female version! Go get Elegant Vests NOW!




Base Ralf of Cyrodiil is not a necromancer. Noooo sirrie! He's just annoyed by the lack of intellectual freedom within the guild due to Arch Mage Traven's (read pussy pants') elitist policies and worthless holy wars.
Oh yeah, and the fact that NECROMANCY CAN BE USED FOR GOOD.


Base Ralf. Gladiator. Battlemage. Necromancer. Savior of teh world. Total hotness. All this AND MORE. I have a bloodless version of this doll, but blood is what makes the Arena fun, so TOUGH. Hey, at least I'm not beating him up! YET. I like him too much.


Base Dari Ienieth. A facinating sort of Dunmer chick. When Oblivion was first announced, I vowed that I would keep whatever multi-character horror show that resulted from that game as seperate from my Morrowind multi-character epic as possible. This means no remaking characters for more than amusement, and have the great majority of them be unable to tell you what the heck a Neravar-wazzit means. Dari is as close to Morrowind as I'd like to get. Former Camonna Tong. And my Morrowind characters basically RUINED HER LIFE. Thistle Flower killed her brothers, Ko'Paki destroyed her livelyhood. So now to get back at them, she's in Cyrodiil. In the Dark Brotherhood and the mafia-like Thieves' Guild. OH YEAH.


Base House Redoran claims that it doesn't like people going above their station. Of course, his original station wouldn't be the first thing Ladear lied about to them. Poor kid. Not all Altmer are rich and live in crystal palaces, contemplating the mysteries of the universe. Ladear was never one of those Altmer. He was more of the street urchin begger kid, trying to make his way in Sunhold,
Yeah, weird things happen when Jagar Tharn is your father. (LONG STORY.)





Base This is Thistle Flower, looking far cuter than she ever ought to. I don't know what to think of this doll. On one hand, the base editing pwnz. On the other hand, the cape is just plain weird. But I dig it.
This was kinda a last minute "GOODBYE MORROWIND I AM GOING TO CYRODIIL AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME" doll. Of course, I made the doll above it almost imedietely afterwards, but that's a prequel doll, so it doesn't count. And I highly doubt that I'll ever stop fooling with my Morrowind characters. I'll be 80 years old and I'll still be drawing the exploits of Thistle Flower and Ko'Paki and the like.



Base Yeah, I kinda imagined Ralf a bit before Oblivion came out. He came out of Seventh Sanctum's Random Bishonen Generator, and ended up pwning enough to be worth it. So this is him. Indeed.


Base I made this before Slof's Goth Shop II was released, but I couldn't wait for it THAT LONG. And that's where this outfit is from.

Base Why is it that everytime I doll Thistle Flower, she looks insanely happy? And in all my drawings, she looks insanely pissed? Since the drawings are more canon, she's just pissed all the time, and this is a rare happy moment.
Yeah. I did not make up this outfit. It's from an excellent mod.

PH34R T3H T41L0X0RZ.






Base Redesign of Ijiir's tatoos, curent official design. I decided that he needed something more interesting. So this is what I got. I will make it into an ingame head one of these days. Someday. Eh.


Base In my world, there ARE Drow in Morrowind, and they ARE different than Dunmer and Drow in not-Morrowind. You know, Lloth and Mephala are TOTALLY different. One's a psycho spider goddess who demands the enslavement of stuff, and the other is a really bored deity of indeterminable gender who demands his/her followers to KILL PEOPLE. A LOT OF PEOPLE. TO BRING GLORY.
Rori here reflects his god/dess in that he likes to kill people. Yay for the Morag Tong! Best dang guild EVAR. Though the Dark Brotherhood is getting there. Therefore THEY WILL DIE. THEY ARE A DISGRACE TO MEPHALA.

Base NIPPLES. The Masque of Clavicus Vile does NOT have a mustache. Do not believe what your eyes tell you. It looks something like this, only prettier. And way fun. EXCITING.
Yesss, how to win friends and become the most powerful woman in Morrowind by invoking dark powers and becoming a vampire and wearing next to no clothing!




Base And Ijiir. Old-style Ijiir. Did I know how to see things back then? DITHERING. WHY DID I EVER DITHER LIKE THAT. EXPLAIN.
Other than that, this doll rather pwnz, at least for an early doll. Nice tail, nice hair, I wish I could do braids, oh yeah.
He's got the wrong eye color. Huh. That's really strange. He's supposed to have dark brown eyes.

And he's SUPPOSED to never wear shoes. He doesn't wear shoes for religious reasons that I'll make up later. Maybe because his Suthay-Raht brothers can't wear shoes, so why should he? Whatever.
