Dovahkrew headcanons that come and go

And some headcanons about my ocs as well

Gore, Taliesin, Auri, Inigo, and Emediir actively play smash or pass on every person they meet once they get to an inn.

Whenever the team is hungry, Arstul pretends to eat snacks to get everyone hopes up. When they ask Arstul for some of the snacks he disappoints them by saying "there's no food. I'm just thinking that I'm eating to make myself not as hungry". (Happened in miitopia)

Nebarra convinces Khash and Redcap to distract people so Nebarra can steal there wine stash. He had tried this with sneaking food from Xelzaz but it didn't work out.

Kaidan woke up to being in the most frilly Lilac dress he's ever seen. He still hasn't figured out that it was Taliesin and Fauneth's doing.

Adinadette holds Gore's hand every where they go.

When Caryalind, Korialine, Khash and Taliesin are alone they dress up as royal princesses. Xelzaz and Lucifer had caught them once and Lucifer almost died from laughing.

Voriella and Inigo would totally be the ones to have houses right beside each other in the Rift, and then get excited when they see eachother outside like they haven't seen each other in 9 years.

Fauneth made scarves for everyone in her group. Nebarra may occasionally wear it when they are in the cold. Taliesin has almost choked himself when he tried sleeping with the scarf.

Mirienn, Khash, Caryalind, and Lucien own a crochet business that no one knows about.

Nediera, Milaeez, Moira, Nocti and Xelzaz have all met before while they were in Morrowind for House Telvanni. Nediera and Moira don't remember. Xelzaz only remembers Milaeez and Nocti but he only passed Nocti as with Milaeez he had a few conversations with.

Solaria and Nebarra gossip when they're drunk. Xelzaz caught them gossiping about Lucifer's issue with being Subtle.

Hoth gives Auri and Fauneth piggy back rides for pure enjoyment and to have a better lookout of the area.

If there was a love triangle it would be between DB, Cary, and Kaidan. OR Karina, Auri, and Adinadette (happened in Miitopia)

Karina knows when someone is talking about her.

Ahkari was super surprised that their was another khajiit that works with the caravan with her name. (When I made Ahkari I got so confused when there was already an Ahkari in the game)

Aurieth and Gore like to do arm wrestles whenever they are at an inn (winner buys 10 cups of mead for them to share) because the first time they had one it took 1 whole hour to determine a winner (Aurieth). Kaidan will also get pulled into the arm wrestling game.

Remiel is physically stronger than Xelzaz. Mostly because of all the dwemer parts she carries. Khash is stronger than Lucien.

Ayrenae, Morniya, and Taliesin all had a mission together.

Ra'irra and Eris both have very similar masks. They mixed each other's masks from time to time.

Moira headbutts Xelzaz when he cooks at an inn. Don't ask why.

Riarrin was apart of that bandit group that Nebarra was also in. Nerune and Nebarra have met a couple times during the Great war. Fauneth has met Nebarra twice and Nerune 7 times.

Adinadette has wrestled Lucifer down once by accident.

Moira makes biscuits to calm her anxiety. Karina woke up to Moira straight up kneeding her face.

Nebarra has pushed Lucifer off the carriage. Karina has pushed Nebarra off a carriage. Adinadette pushed herself AND Karina off a carriage by accident.

Arstul has slapped Nazeem with fish.

Karina has canonically dented Nebarra's armor. Fauneth runs around in circles and tries to stop Karina and Nebarra from brawling each other. Same with Kaidan and Nebarra

Mauria has a scar along her toe from stepping on the Claw of a hag.

Arstul belongs to @joonjii and Karina belongs to @jewelthejaguar742

Emediir, Fauneth, Adinadette, Korialine, Voriella, Mirienn, Nediera, Milaeez, Nocti, Moira, Solaria, Ahkari, Aurieth, Nerune, Ra'irra, Morniya, Ayrenae, Riarrin, and Mauria are all mine

[joonjii]

And then there’s Arstul…

So, when (/if) Tally sleeps, is he the kind of person who wakes up when he hears the wind shift or do you have to violently shake the Mer up?

When Taliesin DOES get the chance to sleep, he's literally dead to the world. Waking him up would be impossible! And he SNORES!

Then he wakes up like a disney princess. Hair perfectly in place, birds fly in and pull back the veils of his canopy as he sits up and stretches.

Maormer’s / Маормеры

"The Maormer are native to the island kingdom of Pyandonea, an archipelago in the southern ocean. Their ruler, King Orgnum, is said to be immortal."―Serpent's Grotto Loading Screen[src]

The Maormer, also known as Tropical Elves,[1] Sea Elves,[2] Fish Elves,[2] or Pyandoneans,[3]are a race of Mer that live on the continent Pyandonea, far south of the Summerset Isles,[1] after migrating there from the legendary continent Aldmeris as Aldmer in the Merethic Era. 

Ambassador Ulondil, a Maormer

Background

Appearance

Maormer are especially distinguished by their skin and eyes. Their eyes are clear and milky-white.[3]Maormer's skin is entirely pale and colorless, as though their flesh is made of white limpid jelly. Their skin also has strange, chameleon-like properties, comparable to that of the forest coupling skills of the Wood Elves.

Culture

King Orgnum is the Maormer ruler of Pyandonea. Orgnum is a deathless wizard who it seems is not only immortal, but grows more youthful by the century,[1][4] and he is said to be the Serpent God Satakal.[1] The Maormer practice a powerful form of snake magic, and with this they have tamed the sea serpents of their island for use as steeds and warbeasts.[1] These sea serpents serve as King Orgnum's guards and occasional mounts.[4]

Maormeri ships are described as insectoid in appearance, with membranous sails and a rugged chitin hull, flying a markedly alien flag.[3] Waving tendrils of kelp trap all but the Maormer's own ships in the uncharted waters of Pyandonea.[4].

History

Origins

"Like the High Elves, the Sea Elves also came from Old Aldmeris. But where the Altmer settled in the paradise of Summerset, the Maormer ended up in low, marshy, and insect-infested Pyandonea—and the Sea Elves have never forgiven the High Elves for it."―Stormwarden Undercroft Loading Screen[src]

Translations of tapestries in the Crystal Tower are the most reliable origin story for the Maormer, and tell the tale of how the Maormer were likely separated in their original homeland of Aldmeris. According to this story, Orgnum was a massively rich Aldmer nobleman, who used his wealth to rebel against the governments and powers of Aldmeris. He and his followers were exilled from Aldmeris, to a place where they could not take such actions again, via impenetrable mist, Pyandonea, "The Veil of Mist." This proved successful, as they never assaulted Aldmeris again, and became the Maormer.[4]

First & Second Era

The Maormer were relentless in their drive to conquer Summerset, and there is scarcely a year throughout the First or Second Era when they did not ravage the coastlines of the Altmer.[5] Every attack launched by the Maormer against Summerset has been led by Orgnum himself, and despite the number of wars and strategies employed by the Maormer, each of these attacks has proved to be an ultimate failure.[4]

In the year 2E 486, a small Maormeri fleet was sighted off the coast of Alinor, and King Hidellith ordered his navy to give chase. The navy followed the ships through uncharted waters, into an ambush in Pyandonea itself. Most of the Alinori navy was destroyed, but a single warship returned to Summerset, a testament to the maritime genius of the Altmer.[4]

During the Three Banners War in 2E 582, the Maormer had some form of control over the Elsweyr island Khenarthi's Roost, under a treaty they agreed to with the city of Mistral. Ulondil, the Maormer ambassador of the island, along with his followers, later went on to betray the agreement. The Sea Vipers, a powerful faction of Maormer, was known to have also led attacks against the First Aldmeri Dominion throughout many of its controlled territories.[6]

The Second Aldmeri Dominion made allies of the Maormer,[7] although the Dominion allowed the kings of Colovia to eliminate Maormer outposts that had been established along the western coast of the mainland.[5]

Third Era

The last documented appearance of the Maormer was the War of the Isle in the year 3E 110.[4] The united alliance of the kings of Summerset, Antiochus Septim, and the Psijic Order, combining the Imperial fleet, the royal navies of Summerset, and the Psijic's magical powers, succeeded in destroying the Pyandonean invading armada.[8][9] It was said that the storm brewed by the Psijic of Artaeum so annihilated Orgnum's fleet that he was never again able to muster together enough of a force to dare another battle.[4]

Маормеры (ориг. Maormer), также известные как морские эльфы или тропические эльфы — раса меров, проживающая на континенте Пиандонея.

История

Точная причина отделения этого народа неизвестна. Одни учёные считают, что маормеры были изгнаны с островов Саммерсет в наказание, тогда как сюжеты гобеленов Кристальной башниповествуют о том, что маормеры отделились от основной группы альдмери ещё на Альдмерисе.

По легенде, их лидер Оргнум, провозгласивший себя королём, принадлежал к альдмерской знати и был исключительно богат. Он использовал свои финансовые возможности для организации мятежа против существовавших порядков, за что вместе со своими приверженцами был сослан в место, отделённое от Альдмериса непроницаемым туманом, Пиандонею, «Завеса тумана».

В любом случае маормеры ушли, но так и не оставили своих родичей. На протяжении всей истории, с момента разделения (за исключением Четвёртой эры), флот маормеров опустошал побережья южной части Тамриэля. К сожалению, никто из историков, по сведениям Императорского географического общества, не привёл числа кампаний и числа стратегий, использованных морскими эльфами против Саммерсета, однако как бы они ни были хитроумны, все походы заканчивались неудачей.

Альтмеры также предпринимали попытки покорения Пиандонеи. Один случай стоит упомянуть особо, поскольку лишь эта история даёт некие сведения о реальном облике этого континента. В 2Э 486 близ берегов Алинора была замечена небольшая флотилия маормеров. Король Хайделлит велел своим военно-морским силам начать преследование. В погоне за судами противника альтмеры заплыли в неизведанные воды и попали в засаду в самой Пиандонее. Бо́льшая часть алинорского флота была разгромлена (вернулся лишь один корабль).

Большую роль тропические эльфы сыграли в период Войны Альянсов, когда один из их флотов, легендар��ые «Морские гадюки», активно опустошал прибрежные земли, принадлежащие Первому Альдмерскому Доминиону.

И всё же, несмотря на многовековые разногласия, две расы порой могли договориться. Маормеры были союзниками Второго Альдмерского Доминиона. Хотя следует отметить, что Доминион не препятствовал коловианским царям устранять форпосты морских эльфов, которые были установлены вдоль западного побережья материка.

Последние документальные сведения о маормерах относятся к 3Э 110 и Войне Островов. Буря, вызванная псиджиками из Артеума, нанесла такой ущерб флоту Оргнума, что ему никогда больше не удалось собрать вместе достаточное количество сил, чтобы решиться на ещё одну битву. Туманы на юге не позволяют подтвердить или опровергнуть это утверждение, но можно надеяться, что оно верное.

Внешний вид

Люди на борту были не просто бледными, они были абсолютно бесцветными, как будто бы их плоть была сделана из какой-то белой прозрачной желеподобной субстанции, но её уже предупредили об этом. Когда появился король и его переводчик, она посмотрела им прямо в глаза и протянула руку. Король издал какие-то звуки — Королева-Волчица, том 4

Маормеры обладают пустыми, белыми глазами, и странной кожей, подобной таковой у хамелеонов, что создаёт впечатление, как будто бы их плоть сделана из какой-то белой прозрачной желеподобной субстанции. Эта непроизвольно проявляющаяся способность сродни умению босмеров сливаться с лесом. В остальном тропические эльфы напоминают альтмеров (в том числе и характером).

Культура

Потема стояла на пирсе и смотрела, как причаливает корабль из Пиандонеи. Ей уже приходилось видеть так много кораблей из разных провинций Тамриэля на фоне серых волн Скайрима, что и этот не показался необычным. Судно обликом напоминало насекомое: перепончатые паруса и хитиновый корпус, но подобные, если не идентичные, уже прибывали из Морровинда. Нет, если бы не флаг, который был определённо чужим, она не отличила бы этот корабль от пары десятков других, стоящих в гавани. Когда до её лица долетели солёные брызги, она подняла руку, чтобы поприветствовать посетителей из другой островной империи — Королева-Волчица, том 4

Тотем маормеров

Маормеры являются великолепными мореходами. Их флот считается одним из лучших и вполне успешно подтверждает это.

Кроме того, тропические эльфы, как и все меры, являются непревзойдёнными магами. Они особенно искусны в магии Разрушения (а если конкретнее — шока), и, кроме того, являются единственными практиками редкой змеиной магии. Эта магия прочно влилась в жизнь расы. Так некоторые маормеры освоили искусство верховой езды на «небольших» змеях, в то время как более крупные и менее послушные животные используются для поддержки флота. Кроме того, отдельные личности этого народа были мастерами-некромантами.

У маормеров имеется собственный язык, хотя судить о их культуре в целом достаточно сложно, так как ни предметов быта, ни архитектуры жители Тамриэля практически не видели. Вполне возможно, что морские эльфы могут являться приверженцами старых альдмерских традиций (правда, подтверждается это только стилем используемой ими брони и оружия).

Lucien: See, we call that a “traumatic experience.”

Inigo: Not a bruh moment.

Auri: Not an L + Ratio.

Taliesin: And DEFINITELY not a LMAO.

Kaidan, Nebarra, Caryalind, Arstul, and Xelzaz:

Taliesin: Nebarra, yours has only heavy metal, and is dark like your soul.

Taliesin: Arstul, yours has sad songs and blues to pair with your crippling depression.

some much needed arstul therapy 🍥🐟 ap exams have been rough on these hands

[joonjii]

Morning Star - Arstul’s first breath of life was his design. I wanted to find a lore-friendly way of incorporating Maormer culture into Skyrim, so I figured that him being a cross-bred would work best. His original name was actually going to be Irindalos (his father’s current name), but I figured it was a little heavy on the tongue. I’m so glad I went with Arstul.

Sun’s Dawn - Back when he lived in Cyrodiil, he had a undisclosed relationship with a shopkeeper. Who was it? That's yet to be disclosed. But all went well until the Oblivion Crisis. He’s burnt out of love now.

First Seed - Besides the entirety of the Thalmor, he doesn't hold a lot of enemies that aren't dead.

Rain’s Hand - Arstul is a sorcerer, so he was basically born with his abilities. He learned to use serpent magic from a young age, and he still utilizes it in battle and to summon water mounts. Outside of this, he’s adept in restoration and destruction, particularly lightning and frost magic.

Second Seed - Arstul is shit at making potions. He couldn't make a poison to save his life. He can brew some nice teas and drinks, though.

Mid Year - Arstul isn't one for holidays, but he grew to like Saturalia the longer he lived in Skyrim. The idea of gift-giving grew on him as it was his initial way of showing affection. Now he can use it as an excuse.

Sun’s Height - Rindir’s Staffs in Cyrodiil, for undisclosed reasons.

Last Seed - Quarterstaff; his father.

Hearthfire - He has no living relatives that he’s aware of.

Frostfall - I’m honestly not so sure about this one yet. I think he owns a shop somewhere in the Rift, but I haven't decided yet. I think it will be a player home of sorts once the relationship progresses enough.

Sun’s Dusk - He gave up worship long ago. He acknowledges Auriel and perhaps respects him, but he figured out that the gods aren't ones to rely on.

Evening Star - 3E 312, Sun’s Dusk 19; sign of the Serpent. He’s 322!

Thank you for this. It was fun!

[joonjii]

I know I’ve been gone, school has been absolutely BONKERS and I’m struggling to find some time for even myself.

I just want to drop in and say that Arstul’s development is very much still happening. He may just be on a pause for now. I’ve been writing and planning for his stories here and there, but I haven’t been able to properly sit down and organize myself. I figured that I’d let you all know where I’m at right now.

Arstul currently has about 1,000 lines of dialogue written.

Arstul’s personal story and battle themes have been composed… will be showcased at a later date.

Arstul has about half of his personal quest written.

Arstul’s mod interactions have been somewhat planned out.

Arstul has dialogue covering many base game quests and both Dragonborn and Dawnguard quests. This includes all of the main questline, the College of Winterhold questline, some of the Dark Brotherhood questline, most of the Dragonborn questline, all of Neloth’s quests, the Hlaluu quest, and the majority of the Dawngaurd questline. This list is constantly growing little by little, and I hope he’ll have dialogue for the majority of your favorite quests upon release.

He has dialogue written for AE content. This will likely be included in a patch, since I don’t want him to be reliant on CC content. He’ll be perfectly happy without AE.

Of course, I’d love for him to have interactions with other custom followers. While some dialogue will soon be in the works, I won’t establish anything until I have the technology and time to make it happen. I don’t want to hold other authors back.

He has interactions with the following NPCs: Serana, J’zargo, Cicero, Aela, Marcurio, Lydia, Sven, Faendal, Mjoll the Lioness, Teldryn Sero, Farkas, Meeko, Vigilance, Cusith, and Garmr. These are quite basic interactions, with conversations limited to a few to focus on other things, but this is expected to grow.

I’m planning on giving him a custom approval system. Similar to Baldur’s Gate III where it’s like “So-and-so approves.” This is already present in many followers, but I’d like it to be more in your face and emphasized so you actually have to think about what you say. This also means that dialogue won’t be so obvious as good and bad.

There are many other things I have planned, but I won’t mention them as they aren’t under development yet. I hope you all continue to support me on this journey, as it means everything to me. The Fish Stick is coming soon!
