Until Your Flesh Is Consumed
The civil war has ended and Ulfric Stormcloak is now High King of Skyrim. Skyrim is free, for now. It seems both the Empire and the Thalmor are bidding their time and leave the Nordic homeland alone. But they no doubt will return one day. The Dragon Crisis, as it is now known, has ended thanks to the Dragonborn. Many of the dragons are dead but a scarce few remain and every so often one can hear news of an attack. As the Dragonborn has retired to High Hrothgar, many dragon slayer groups have been formed to try their hands at earning their own glory and gold. But for the most part, Skyrim is at peace.
However…a shadow is starting to descend over the land. Strange rumors of death and disease coming from isolated places in the area around Riften. Whole farms burnt down, people catching an unknown disease, or just vanishing from their homes with nothing else missing. The guards of Riften have recently been acting strange as well, making people pay fines to enter or just turning them away from the gates even if they have the coin. Many of these events started after reports of a mysterious figure in a hooded robe blacker than night and adorned with red runes was sighted in the Rift. There was only one person ever to see under the figure’s hood and saw only a black mask with no features. Like a face with no eyes, mouth, hair, or nose. Guards and Stormcloak soldiers turned up nothing when they searched to bring in the figure for questioning. Many of the searchers were never seen again…
However there was another person searching, a bosmer in strange clothing, who seemed determined to find the black robbed figure. When questioned by the guards why he simply said, “Dark things are stirring in the shadows and this…being is the source. And where there are shadows I will bring the light. Greed and Pride…is sinful…and we all pay for it.” The man’s words weren’t entirely understood and he vanished from his cell a few minutes later.
Now Shor’s Stone has been seemingly abandoned. Every man, woman, child, miner, and guard has vanished without a trace. The only clue is written in blood on the local blacksmith’s house; Until Our Flesh Is Consumed. The people of the Rift have grown even more frightened. An entire village hasn't been affected by the events until now. One can only wonder…what does this series of ill omens mean...?

PLEASE READ ALL TEXT BELOW
This is roleplay is going to be my most ambitious one yet. It will be extremely in-depth and have deeper meaning than many roleplays. It will focus on extensive character development, morality, and how the worst monsters can be born from the noblest intentions. If accepted into this roleplay your character, you, will face moral dilemmas and there will be times where there is no right choice; where you will have to choose the lesser of two evils. This roleplay will have action/adventure, but have strong undertones of personal growth and character evolution.
I will be very particular at who is accepted into this roleplay. I will be looking for roleplayers with good grammar, the ability to post regularly, and the level of skill expected of any roleplayer. I apologize if I seem high and mighty, but I have high hopes for this roleplay. I also apologize in advance if your application is not accepted. It is in no way a reflection of personal bias or a reflection of your skill as a roleplayer, so do not feel dejected or saddened. There are limited spots. To apply for this advanced roleplay, please follow the rules below.
Rules and Other Info
Please read everything below carefully before applying.
1. All general forum, and role play rules apply. Please keep that in mind.
2. Power playing (or, "god modding") will not be tolerated. Give your character reasonable abilities and skills. Do not make them knowledgeable of information they cannot possibly know. A realistic character with believable flaws is much more likable and interesting.
3. Please try to remain active in the thread. Post regularly, at the very least once every other day. If you need to leave for any amount of time, please be sure to let me know.
4. Be fair to your fellow role players. Try to make sure all participants are included.
5. Please keep all posts consistent with the content and lore of The Elder Scrolls.
6. This is a MATURE thread, rated 18+. Profanity, violence, disturbing images, and sexual themes will be included, so please be advised.
7. So long as any profanity or sexual themes are included both tastefully, reasonably and at the best of discretion they will be accepted.
8. Please try to use proper spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. Type your posts in a word processor for proof reading if it will help. This makes posts easier and better to read. I will be expecting this of all players, so please keep that in mind when applying.
9. I would prefer that players in this story be only involved in 2 or 3 other roleplays simultaneously. Simply for the fact that posts are generally of better quality when there are fewer obligations for the player.
10. Player involvement will be capped at a maximum of 7 players, including myself. However players may be invited to create and include their own minor, recurring "NPC" if they so choose. This would be a character of the player's choosing meant to enrich their own experience and the experience of the other players. For example, someone such as a relative or friend of your character. Please understand this doesn’t mean you can have two characters. This “NPC” would not be present at all times, normally disappearing after the beginning few posts. However they can be reintroduced if it ties into the story and makes logical sense. Of course other npcs, such as a generic guard or barkeep, are perfectly acceptable if the situation requires creation of one.
