    "Welcome to the arena, hatchlings."

    Welcome to the Bloodworks, where new builds begin the long road to Legendary. Many will fall off the path along the way, but fear not; we're here to help builds climb ever upward.

    What makes the Bloodworks unique, is the Deathmatch. Once every week, or possibly longer, builds from the Bloodworks will be gathered up and put into a 24 hour poll. The poll winner survives, and any builds that manged to get 20+ likes by the end of it move on up into Recognized, but the rest our deleted. We realize that not everyone thinks that the Deathmatch is a good idea. However, over the years we have had large numbers of builds added which simply do not meet the quality standards that we pride ourselves upon on this site. Rather than simply deleting them, The Deathmatch gives them that one last chance to be showcased before the entire community. If they still don't manage to gain even a paltry 20 likes, then it's safe to assume that the community has judged them to be not up to our standards.

    Of course, we understand how intimidating this can be to a potential new builder. In light of that, you may want to consider posting your build in the Workshop first. The Workshop is a group for work-in-progress content where you can receive feedback on your build before posting the finished product in this group.

    As a new builder, the two most important resources to you are the Group Rules and Character Building Guide. If you're not sure how to present your build, then look at the Build Template as well, and be sure to talk any of the hosts if you require further assistance.

    Tae's Picks of the Month

    Each month I will feature a build that deserves to get out of Bloodworks! Or perhaps I will feature a few that deserve to stay.

    The Troubadour

    Its not very often that we find a build in Bloodworks worthy of mention. The Troubadour by Nick is one of those rare, worthy builds. The Troubadour is a great example of what a few simple mods can do greatly improve one's sense of immersion. There is only so much the base game offers for the aspiring bard. With the Troubadour you'll genuinely look and feel like a true bard.

    I suspect this thread will get more activity than any other. I really hope new builders come here for help once they've posted their builds. Guys, don't be discouraged if your first build only has 10 likes after the first few days. Lots of veteran builders with Legendary builds started out the same way. And many of those same veterans may well check this very thread to see if there are new builders looking for insight. I know I will!

    This week's Death Match was a bloody and gruesome affair, just the way we like it. The Last of the Dwemer managed to secure the popular vote, but has been deemed unworthy of advancing to the rank of Recognized. A day may come when another Death Match claims the life of this build! 

    The Black Panther has scraped together enough likes to escape to the relative safety of the recognized rank.

    The Dremora Commander, the Crow Monger, the Spirit Walker and Constantine lie bloodied and broken on the death match stage. With weak voices they cry out for mercy, but there shall be none granted to the unworthy! Only one fate awaits them now. The pit lies open and it is time to....

    Hey was hoping for some insight or some tips on how to improve upon my build The Stormrider. It has been in the bloodworks for just over a month now and I would really like to see it advance to at least the recognised rank. Any suggestion or feedback would be awesome. I believe it has the potential to go far but feel that it's just slipped under the radar a bit.

    I'll be sure to give it a read and add my suggestions today.

    Hey guys. My first character build, The Arch-Founder, received almost no feedback after it left the Workshop and I'd like to know if anyone would be willing to look it over and tell me where I might've gone wrong, or maybe if it just got overpowered by other builds that got boosted with more activity.
