• Inquisition

  by Joshua James June 17, 2012
  I won't lie I do like the Warhammer universe. There is a lot of room to expand, create and elaborate upon in it even though many fail to add anything new to it. The Emperor's Holy Orders of the Inquisition are my favorite fictional organization. Through countless hours of reading, research and writi...

• Class Discussion: Ranger, Level 25 and the future

  by Joshua James February 6, 2012
  I've reached level 25 with Sindathiel without playing the main quest. I haven't even completed the Golden Claw quest as I just wanted to have dragons but no Dragonborn. Most of my time has been spent wondering around, exploring and completing whatever quests I can find that would suit my character. ...

• Custom Lore: Distances

  by Joshua James January 28, 2012
  Before the Inquisition come for me I want to discuss the changes and alterations I'm using in my fluff. This is purely for my stories. After having my crack team of helper monkeys look at information from Tolkien's work, flinging poop and a couple thousand Skyrim maps that are now ruined, I've come ...

• Bloated Man's Grotto

  by Joshua James January 28, 2012
  When I first stumbled upon this cave I was awestruck. It would beautiful. I was expecting tight corridors, blood, bones and Rosie O'Donnell at the end for a epic boss fight. Thankfully that wasn't the case but the spriggans and bears were difficult. For those who don't know it's a outdoor cavern whe...

• Lore: Distances and Size

  by Joshua James January 26, 2012
  Skyrim is huge ingame but what about in lore? I can't find any distances, measurements, etc. about how far it is to Whiterun from a certain point or the size of the city in lore. It's obviously heavily influenced by Rohan and the tree reminds me of the White Tree of Gondor. The city itself is plague...

• Skyrim Landscape Expansion, LLC

  by Joshua James January 24, 2012
  Skyrim is huge. Granted there are a lot of things to do and places to see along with a lot of dragons and Thalmor to kill but something bothers me. You can go from mountainous and snowy forest to swamp in under a minute. The biggest problem for me at least in the TES series is just the transition fr...

• Valenwood & The Bosmer

  by Joshua James January 23, 2012
  What do we know? Besides the obvious that it's homeland of the Wood Elves and is essentially one giant forest / jungle. The Bosmer have suffered at the hands of the Altmer and Khajit but with the Aldmeri Dominion it appears that they have found their strength again. From Dances with Fire, which I ho...

• The Falmer

  by Joshua James January 21, 2012
   The Falmer are essentially goblins. They aren't exactly as they are Elves but they fit the archetype perfectly. Their fall from grace and subsequent corruption by the Dwemer makes for a interesting backstory. Now they are a brutal, vicious and hostile race of deformed monsters who have large hordes...

• Ranger of Valenwood

  by Joshua James January 19, 2012
  I was bored out of my mind and I couldn't sleep so I thought I would bring the level of nerd up about a thousand times by writing this. I used the Ayleid Language thing on the wiki to put this together. "Abagaianye naga   I do not fear death   A pellan a arcta angua mori anyammis   I am an outsider....

• The Others

  by Joshua James January 18, 2012
  Sindathiel isn't my only character and my history with TES shows that I always have three or four characters that I alternate in between. Mages and Warriors are very boring whenever I play them but I love the Necromancer and Beserker subtypes. I've always liked the Assassin gameplay but not so much ...

• Backstory: Sindathiel, the Thalmor and the ties that bind.

  by Joshua James January 16, 2012
  He didn't have time to react. Somehow they had stumbled into each other, the Thalmor Justiciars evading his keen senses, and he himself avoiding theirs. Sindathiel was the first to draw, his bow quickly aimed at the first Thalmor, and arrow subsequently finding it's way into his targets left eye-soc...

• Mod Ideas

  by Joshua James January 16, 2012
  I can't wait until the Creation Kit comes out. Already there are great mods for Skyrim but in the future I am hoping that it will be even better. Oblivion was fun enough the first three or four times around playing the different classes but the mods opened up so many new things and overall made it a...

• Class Discussion: Ranger

  by Joshua James January 16, 2012
  I am currently at level 13 with my ranger, Sindathiel, and the roleplaying experience so far is a lot of fun and challenging. I've limited myself in what I can pickup, what I can carry on me and how I approach situations. Most of my time has been spent wandering around Rift taking down trappers, ba...

• Character Bio: Sindathiel

  by Joshua James January 13, 2012
  Sindathiel was born in Valenwood to the Thielen Clan, a small tribe located north of Silvenar, where he was first taught the ways of the Green Pact. After many years living a primitive existence the allure of civilization drew him to Cyrodill where he married into a prominent trader f...

• Rangers

  by Joshua James January 1, 2012
  Rangers are my favorite fantasy archetype. Whether it's Drizzt, Aragorn or Sindathiel, my Bosmer Ranger, I love the class, the lore associated with them and their way of life. Being a massive fan of Lord of the Rings I had to find a way to carry over the feel of the Rangers of Ithilien and the Dun...
