Nordic Colonists

[Ebonyknight]

Nordic Colonists: I was really looking forward to playing with them and helping them get some new land but you guys arent going to include them?

II never said Nords were out.... I don't know where you got the notion...
if you'd like to come up with some ideas, here is a small guidelines:

• They are not Vvardenfell based, they sent longboats with raiders to Ald Redaynia or Dagon Fell where they are then further geared to raid Redoran and Telvanni coastal towns
  
• The Nords that decide to settle in the towns fish and trade for a living. They trade with Hlaalu and Imperials
  
• They are hostile to Ashlanders and Betmeri, the three factions all fought one another, until many of the Ashlanders and Betmer made traces arranged by the Telvanni so that they could fight the Nords
  
• The Nords are from Skryim, not Solstheim, although some individuals may be from Solstheim
  

there's the basics, incase you were interested in knowing...

I'm pretty sure he got it from what I posted on another thread.

I posted this earlier when we were trying to shorten the factions we had to create and make storylines for, and never really thought about the movement of the Nordic Colonist to the not joinable list. It was just something that I did, as I was thinking that you wouldn't really need to join them, but instead do quests for them through the Hlaalu, since they are helping each other out. I never really thought about them as their own faction.

But hey, one more small faction shouldn't be too difficult to add in. :yes:

[KuKulzA]

:yes: that clears it up

[Harikari]

Dont forget to put the House of Troubles on there

[Vrenir]

Perhaps we can cut the Vampire Hunters and simply give Vampire-hunting quests to others like Ordinators. Stick in the Nordic Colonists and we're still at 20 joinables.

[Harikari]

Sounds like Vren has a good idea to me! The ordinators should maybe just have one optional quest giver who just gives vampire hunting quests!

[Vrenir]

Can we possibly get an annotated version grouping them into Major (15-20 quests) and Minor (5-10 quests)? I think that it would be really helpful in understanding what we're aiming for in each faction as we plan them. Also perhaps an * next to all the ones that we've done any in-depth discussion on and a + for any that you have personal developed plans for.

Ugh, Im as blind as a bat
