    Xian and Serana are not together in that sense yet. It will happen but not for a little while yet. 

     

    And the heat raising gives me an idea that conflicts with my previous idea >_<; fuck. Good advice will do that

    Here's a question for everyone......

    How do you portray a Daedra's speech in your story?

    Now, I don't mean how do you make Sheo sound like Sheo or make Hircine sound like Hircine, but how do you show their speech?

     

    A few examples...

    Bold

    Hircine’s voice boomed once more around the cave.

    Shes mine! She always was”. Then Hircine spoke quieter, like he was almost afraid other Daedra could hear him. “She has been taken from the hunt, by another. Find her, return her to her rightful place...”

    Different color?

    Hircine’s voice boomed once more around the cave.

    She‘s mine! She always was”. Then Hircine spoke quieter, like he was almost afraid other Daedra could hear him. “She has been taken from the hunt, by another. Find her, return her to her rightful place...

    Maybe a different font?

    I'm curious as I use a few different Daedra Lords and I am looking at ways to make their speech stand out a bit. 

     

    if you can, give a few examples in your work.

    making it bold with a Dark font for some of them like for a example: "I will make Tamerial feel my Icy Sting of Cold Harbor!!! "

    Well, I do feel the different Daedra Lords have affiliations to certain colors. Unfortunately for me, Hircine is a prominent Daedra Lord in my story and the color I feel which is linked to him is white. White text isn’t going to work well.

    Hahaha

    Still, it's Venison for thought.

    Why did you choose white as Hircine's color? I always thought of Hircine's colors as more earth tones like Oranges, Browns, Yellows, and such.

    true, I could see him in a light Brown. Sheo is pink to me

    A good question....

    Well...

    Oblivion had Hircine command you to hunt down the White Unicorn.

    Morrowind Bloodmoon had the White Spirit Bear

    Skyrim has the White Deer which you kill to speak to Hircine.

     

    Morrowind, there was the White Guar near Vos (Not Hircine related but the wise woman relates to a 'Hunter').

    Always thought of Hircine as brown-black, standard wolf colors. I use bold letters. Paint it black. My guardian angel in TES is Nocturnal, she has black robes and the dark and shadows are black. But, I do like the idea of giving every Deadra Lord it's own color.

    I'm not far off Nocturnal to you Deltafox. I see Nocturnal as a midnight color. Very dark blue.

    EDIT

    Hircine is known as the lord of man beasts. Crocodiles, hawks, large cats, wolves, boars, bears ect so this does tend to pull away from a standard wolf color for 'ol Hirc.

    Depends on the purpose of the speech. Is their voice a thundercracked echo? THEN IT'S CAPS. Is their voice a whisper of distant storm in your head? Italics be the answer. Are they standing in front of you and just want to have a chat? Then use regular text. Simple :)
