Factions and their agendas

[KuKulzA]

This will give us all an idea about how quests should be... they should reflect the agenda of each factions, I am listing all, but those will a " * " will be in TES4 already.....
any factions, etc. you think should be in there let me know... I think its already a lot...

[seriously guys, this really needs to be updated, so don't take it as final]


current outlook:

if we maximize the cutting down of weight.... I mean factions :lol:

truthfully, I think East Empire Company should be dropped... its not like they are colonizing Vvardenfell, they are just getting profits.... the only reason you are them in Bloodmoon is cause they had Raven Rock colony...
Helseth Royal Guards might have to do with the 2nd mini-main quest
most religions are too tied with quests... psshhaa!
House Indoril and Dres will be tied to Redoran quests
Buoyant Armigers... and Ordinators... still hotly debated, but it seems we are gonna either drop both or just Armigers.... :poorme:


Factions:
Ashlanders (harder for non-Dunmer to enter)
The Velothi want to see the outlanders driven off and are trying to get the Nerevarine to lead them to do that. They are in fierce competition with betmeri for hunting grounds and Nords for lands. Ahemmusa want to expand into the Sheogorad Isles since the mainland has become too dangerous for them. The Urshilaku are in conflict with Redoran. The Erabenimsun are still war-like, raiding Telvanni settlements and the Ascadian Isles on occasion, but they have become more reasonable and will trade with Telvanni. The Zainab have grown powerful and with the help of the Telvanni have subdued all other Grazeland tribes except the Ahemmusa whom they have a treaty with. The myriad other tribes all have their own agendas ranging from finding good pastures to the extermination of another tribe or town.
Ranks:
Clanfriend, Hearth Friend, Brother, Initiate, Clanholder, Guide, Champion, Gulakhan, Farseer, Ashkhan / Wise-woman
Betmeri Guerillas (only Argonians, Orcs, Khajits, (Dreugh, Goblins))
The Betmer of the Wrothgarian and Dragontail Mts. are being slowly driven from their best lands. The Argonians of the Black Marsh are migrating northwards to gradually reclaim their swamps in south Morrowind and small group travel as far north as the Bitter Coast and Vvardenfell. Many of these Betmer became raiders, outlaws, and guerillas. Many were also escaped slaves. These warriors compete fiercely with Ashlanders and Nords. The Telvanni hire them often as mercenaries. Their strongest hold is Valenvaryon, a sort of Orsinium of the East, and they also have hideouts in many places in the wilderness.
Ranks:
Fodder, Scavenger, Fang, Brave, Hunter, Skirmisher, Raider, Guerilla, Warchief, Troglodyte
Nordic Colonists (Nords, Bretons, Imperials)
The Nords are a tall and fair-haired people, aggressive and fearless in war, industrious and enterprising in trade and exploration. Skilled sailors, Nords can be found in seaports and settlements along all the coasts and rivers of Tamriel.Some dream of re-conquering Morrowind but for now they simply colonize and establish ties, and raid their enemies. They fight often with Telvanni, Ashlanders, and Beast-folk. They attempted to settle the West Gash but were driven off by Redoran. These Nords have grown friendly with the Imperial institutions and the Legion as well as Great House Hlaalu.
Ranks:
Stripling, Woodman, Meadsman, Yeoman, Seaman, Raider, Slayer, Honor Guard, Hersir, Battle King
Buoyant Armigers (hard for non-Dunmer)
The Buoyant Armigers were originally the lovers of Vivec, both male and female. These crusaders go through tough trials to imitate Vivec?s and are also some of the greatest warriors on Vvardenfell. They want to cleanse the land of Daedra, the Sixth House, and undead, and are on good terms with Ordinators and the Redoran.
Ranks:
Inspirant, Pilgrim, Initiate, Adventurer, Seasoned One, Trialed One, War Poet, Armiger Officer, Marshal, Grand Marshal
Ordinator Cohorts (hard for non-Dunmer, Redoran/Dres/Indoril get in easier)
Ordinators were founded by St. Olms and serve as Temple guards and holy warriors. Each cohort is led by a marshal and the grand commander is as of now in Ghostgate. Since nearly all Ordinators are Indoril and the Indoril army is made up of Ordinators, the general mood is anti-Hlaalu.
Ranks:
Inspirant, Humbled One, Holy Guard, Solemn One, Zealot, Seasoned One, Elite Ordinator, Cohort Officer, Commander*, Grand Commander*
*or you can switch from Officer into Inquisitor, then Grand Inquisitor
Imperial Legion
The Legions are re-enterring Morrowind, and most of the Dunmer don't like it. Therefore, the legion must use acts of honor and ruthless efficiency to crack down and control Morrowind. They are pro-Hlaalu. Recently the Legions have been returning to Morrowind causing great tensions and uproar.
Ranks:
Recruit, Spearman, Trooper, Agent, Champion, Knight Errant, Knight Bachelor, Knight Protector, Knight of the Garland, Knight of the Imperial Dragon

Houses:
House Dagoth (hard for non-Dunmer)
This is a long lost House that is revived. The members are House Dagoth descendants, cultists, ash-folk, and outcast sorcerers. They aspire to drive out the Imperials and claim Vvardenfell as their own territory.
Ranks:
Hireling, Cultist, Oathman, Bloodbrother, Ritualist, Priest, Sacrificer, Cutthroat, Song-Mind, Dagoth
House Dres (hard for non-Dunmer)
-This House wishes to change the Imperial laws to suite their needs. Slave rebellions need to be quelled and mercenaries trained. They are allied with the Indoril and Redoran. They realize Hlaalu?s growing economic power may oust them from their traditional economic dominance and are looking at the Ascadian Isles as a possible way to thwart Hlaalu success and increase Dres crop yields.
Ranks:
Hireling, Retainer, Oathman, Lawman, Kinsman, Adept, Novitiates, Overseer, Vizier, Viceroy
House Hlaalu
This mercantile house has become extremely powerful. They have fortified their holdings on Vvardenfell and also are extremely influential within the Imperial politics of Morrowind. They are allied to the Nords and Imperials. The Hlaalu are now the dominant Great House as they are wealthier than the others and are supported by the Empire.
Ranks:
Hireling, Retainer, Oathman, Lawman, Kinsman, House Cousin, House Brother, House Father, Councilman, Grandmaster
House Indoril (hard for non-Dunmer)
House Indoril wishes to retake its title as greatest house and also hopes to drive out the Imperials. They are zealots and ready to endure any attack as long as their aim is fulfilled. One of their goals is to free the Temple lands of Vvardenfell from Imperials. They seek to establish influence on Vvardenfell to cause discord between the Great Houses as their own House recovers its strength.
Ranks:
Hireling, Retainer, Oathman, Lawman, Kinsman, House Cousin, House Brother, House Father, Councilman, Grand Duke
House Redoran
House Redoran prides itself on martial prowess and piousness. However, they plan to, for the second time, ally with Indoril and Dres to drive out the Imperials. It is in a dangerous position, though led by Venim's son, a great general and leader, but they have borders with both Nords and Hlaalu, meaning that they have more fronts to fight on.
Ranks:
Hireling, Retainer, Oathman, Lawman, Kinsman, House Cousin, House Brother, House Father, Councilman, Archmaster
House Telvanni
House Telvanni is trying to stay out of direct combat. They use mercenaries, train and supply the Betmeri-guerillas, and more rigorously train their own warriors. They seek to gain power by taking advantage of this potential war.
Ranks:
Hireling, Retainer, Oathman, Lawman, Mouth, Spellwright, Wizard, Master, Magister, Archmagister

Ranks:
Associate, Apprentice, Journeyman, Evoker, Conjurer, Magician, Warlock, Wizard, Master Wizard, Arch-Mage
Fighters Guild*
Closely tied with the Arena, the Fighters Guild is a source of mercenaries and guards.

This is a Guild devoted to the killing of vampires. Because of the disarray of the Temple soldiers, Vampires have grown more powerful. Now the ancient tradition of Vampire Hunting is open to all willing and capable. However, if you yourself become a Vampire, you must be cured or else the Vampire Hunters will be after you!

Ranks:

Helseth's Royal Guard (not joinable, can recieve quests)

Vampire:
Ranks:

Clan Berne
This clan seeks to not only destroy the other clans but assassinating Temple officials to reduce the power of the Temple on Vvardenfell.
Clan Quarra
This clan wants to see the others dead (wow, they are so mutual), but they are also in competition for territory with Betmeri. Interestingly, the Quarra seem to be sympathetic to the Nords because most of the Quarra are Nords.

[falco1029]

Agenda of the mages guild should probably be to stay neutral on all fronts, but will hire mercenaries and use lower ranked mages and spellswords to fight in areas where they would be hurt by allowing it to change control (im not sure what the mage's guild lore is, so i dont know who they support and whatnot)



EDIT: Oh, i posted this before you had the agenda up. maybe merge the two?

[GMX]

You forgot the Imperal Cult...

[KuKulzA]

I believe it was changed to Nine Divines... but I'm not too sure...

[GMX]

I never did get the imperal cult....

[falco1029]

hehe, with the new explanation you should rmove the "all in all, they just want to survice", since you have "basically,...." right after taht. Just a suggestion

[KuKulzA]

yep

[nunc]

I think that the Betmeri Guerillas shouldn't have ape-folk, dreugh and Daedra to stay lore correct. And there are maybe a little too much re-entering groups. de Betmeri Guerillas; The Nordic Colonists; Imperial Legion (Did they ever move out?); House Dagoth etc.

Why should there be Nordic Colonists? the have whole Solstheim. And they
should be busy whith keeping Raven Rock from growing too large.

Rregarding house Dagoth, This revived House came back with Dagoth Ur. Maybe some followers of the "true" House are alive somewhere, but they wouldn't show their faces for like 100 years because of what happened.

House Indoril has no base on vvardenfell, so their goal as to drive out the imperials is a bit weird.


fighers guild
It's possible that Eydis Fire-Eye is killed in TES3, it is a quest from Percius Mercius that you get if you haven't convinced her to leave the cammona tong earlier.
And why would it be neccesary for the fighters guild to become allies with the mages guild and the thieves guild. I think it's probably Percius Mercius who's the new Guildmaster and he's someone who is against crime, the thieves guild was a recent enemy of the fighters guild, so soon after all that they will be still suspicious.

[KuKulzA]

well... lots of beast-folk go to less-inhabited areas to live... I'd say Vvardenfell would be great for them except that now all the Dunmer are jumping in... about Daedra... that was a mistake... sorry...
ape-folk... I dunno... its possible they'd migrate to Morrowind right? but there isn't mention in the lore.... what about Dreugh... if they can talk to someone... they'd probably rather be with beast-folk than dunmer... but thats anyone's guess....

Nordic Colonists... not Skaal... but Nords from Skyrim... not reserved and pious warriors but loud and drunken warriors..... and there is NO solstheim in this mod... but in Dagon Fell Nords were coming back to Morrowind on a larger scale... and I feel that in would be cool if they made Sheogorad a colony area... of course the Dunmer wouldn't like it... but who is there up there? monks, rogues, a Telvanni necromancer...

if you read up on the planned storyline... the 1st part begins with Indoril-Dres-Redoran making their 2nd triple alliance to try to drive out the imperials, since after TES4 Oblivion, the legions will try to come back....
so the imperial institutions will be left with little protection, only Imperial Guards (fewer now), Hlaalu guards, and each other can protect each other... plus being in a cease-fre between Fighters and Thieves guild doesn't mean their friends... just means they both understand Cammona Tong wants ALL outlanders dead.... they try to use the Fighters Guild to help them... but they'd probably stab 'em in the back later....



and no, Although Indoril have no actuall HOLDINGS on Vvardenfell... look at the landmass that we are doings after the Vvardenfell.... and also ....according to lore... Indoril-Redoran-Dres allied to drive otu Imperials when they 1st entered Morrowind... and whenthe legions re-enter Morrowind... guess what they'd like to do?



and thanks for your comments... I'll have to take them into serious consideration, but remember, nothing is in concrete, we can change things as we go... a lot of things at least
