The Hammerfell Chronicles seems to be going nowhere for me at the moment. Instead of just sitting here not doing anything I figured it would be better to just try writing something else. My idea is simple in theory. I want to write a little alternative history/fiction for Skyrim. Something that takes place a few years after Alduin is defeated. Before I begin though I am coming up with a few basic ideas. Past events and things like that. I'd like to hear your thoughts on what I have so far as well as have you voice any thoughts/ideas/etc that you may have that could make it more interesting. Here is the list I have so far and while small I do plan to build on/around it.
* The Dovahkiin and Alduin fatally wound each other during their battle.
* The Stormcloaks win the civil war and declare independence.
* The Aldmeri Dominion invade Skyrim and easily take control.
* The Jarls and their families are executed.
* The Grey Beards are slain. High Hrothgar is reduced to rubble.
* The DB is eradicated by the Imperial Army.
* The TG scatters and th ex members become petty thugs. Mercer disappears.
* The Silver Hand wipe out all of the Circle. The Companions diminish.
* The Bards College is closed. Nordic song and tale outlawed.
* The Winterhold College is razed. All books are burned.
* The Word Walls are destroyed. Nordic ruins/burial grounds sealed.
* Non mer have been reduced to secondary citizenship status. Slaves almost.
As I've said I plan to add, change, etc this list as I go along. Not everything that gets listed will be mentioned in the story but it'll serve as a simple 'backstory' or set up for people who may read it. To get them more familiar with the setting, so to speak. Anyway, if you have anything you'd like to add or say then please do so.
*Edit* I'm also debating if I should use third or first person and whether or not I should stick to one character or have the story told from various character perspectives.
