Announcing the opening of the Mundus TES RP Forums!
The Mundus is a selective, lore-intensive Elder Scrolls Roleplay Forum. This forum operates a bit as a collaborative project; it is a shared universe or shared canon, however you prefer to consider it (and thus, by definition, entirely singleverse). Every interaction and every event, every impact your decisions make on the world around you, is canon and can have lasting effects on this version of Tamriel. Here, we encourage individual creativity, worldbuilding, novel ideas and unique characters.
Any and all characters from all walks of life are more than welcome, from the simple blacksmith to a past Emperor of Cyrodiil. Having a variety among characters allows the world to be multi-faceted and is more fun for everyone.
What are the features of the forum?
The Mundus spans throughout all eras of The Elder Scrolls timeline, allowing you to write in any point of history that your characters may have been around for. There are sub-forums for the Second Era, the Third Era, the Early Fourth Era and the Late Fourth Era. A First Era sub-forum can be made if there is demand for it.
It also features an events section, where players can - with having presented the idea to the rest of the forum members and gotten approval - create events that are not necessarily canon to the Elder Scrolls but are canon to this universe and affect all characters involved. Events have different tiers of scope, from events that affect only a small handful of characters to ones that affect everyone. Current forum specific events include a sequel to the Great War, Blacklight falling under siege, and a near-apocalypse - all fun stuff!
There’s other fun stuff as well; a section for sharing art and writing, one for unique lore and headcanons, player-created factions, and more!
And of course there are character bio pages.
What are you looking for in a character?
Originality. With the cast of characters that we have, there is little that could be considered too outlandish for these forums. What we aren’t looking for are characters who are incredibly overpowered - this isn’t to say that characters with power aren’t welcome, but a character who is from House Telvanni and were an Ordinator and are part of the Dark Brotherhood and the College of Winterhold, for example, won’t find a place among this cast. The Elder Scrolls is a series with literal centuries worth of lore to take advantage of and expand upon outside of what’s explicitly shown in the games; be creative!
It should be mentioned: In game roles such as the Nerevarine, The Hero of Kvatch, and the Last Dragonborn are all already accounted for. As this is single-verse, there are no duplicates of these roles.
