* DoUntoOthersBeforeTheyDoUntoUs: Nandrnil's reasoning for trying to kill an obviously wounded Niralie: that usually strangers were bandits, and in that case it was better to strike before they could.

Added DiffLines:

* TraumaCongaLine: Valentia and Niralie have gone through a lot since the start of TA2: During the troubles in Suran, the two were nearly killed by Arellius. After they eventually were able to flee the mysterious troop of soldiers and sail out from Vivec, the ship they were on sank and as far as they knew they were the only survivors. Though they made it ashore, they were badly injured again in Nandrnil's cave, and nearly died between that and the journey to Windhelm. And they aren't safe yet in Windhelm, since the city's under siege from pirates looking for the Daedric artifacts that they hold.

In Maurzol's backstory, he tracked down a mage that had sent an assassin after him, all the way from Cyrodiil to Morrowind.Morrowind. Also, his desire for revenge against those who took the lifeboat and left him on the wreck is a big part of what drove him onward after the shipwreck, but he didn't survive long enough to even find them.
** In Hodor's backstory, he wanted revenge on the ones who killed his wife and child. Like Maurzol, he died before he could do this. Ironically, it was because the two started fighting that they eventually both died.

For many years, the [[http://uesp.net Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages]] served as an excellent source of information concerning the Elder Scrolls series of video games. Within this website resided the [[http://forums.uesp.net Unofficial Elder Scrolls Forums]], where much discussion on the maintenance and editing of the wiki, as well as the ES series as a whole, was conducted. Yet further within the UESPF resided a sub-forum for play-by-post roleplays.

This sub-forum saw many stories and characters from fictional universes of all kinds, yet for a long time there wasn't a dedicated roleplay taking place within the Elder Scrolls universe; the setting that the website was founded upon!

In 2011, a user named MARS put up the masterpost for [[http://forums.uesp.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=21697 Tamrielic Adventures]], a free-form adventure in the Elder Scrolls universe that took place 15 years before the story of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Several forum-goers joined and thus launched an adventure. Shenanigans ensued.

The original topic ended a year and a half later, accumulating 277 pages (5,674 posts) over its' course. After a few months, however, the story was revived in the form of [[http://forums.uesp.net/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=35013 Tamrielic Adventures Vol. 2]], which is still going on today (despite a few changes in management).

In 2011, a user named MARS put up the masterpost for [[http://forums.uesp.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=21697 Tamrielic Adventures]], a free-form adventure in the Elder Scrolls universe that took place 15 years before the story of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind''. Several forum-goers joined and thus launched an adventure. Shenanigans ensued.

The original topic ended lasted a year and a half later, half, accumulating 277 pages (5,674 posts) over its' course. After a few months, however, its course, and was closed when most of the story active players had dropped off. Two months later it was revived in the form of [[http://forums.uesp.net/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=35013 Tamrielic Adventures Vol. 2]], which picked up directly where the last thread left off, starting with a fresh new cast of characters, in addition to the few who remained from the original thread. The thread has changed hands a few times [[labelnote:*]](from Mars to Velvet in 2014, and Velvet to [=co-DMs=] Hissien and Unionhack in 2015)[[/labelnote], and it is still going on today (despite a few changes in management).ongoing today.



The RP is currently under the management of Co-Dungeon Masters Unionhack and Hissien, though this has not been officially carried out.

!!This
RP is currently under the management of Co-Dungeon Masters Unionhack and Hissien, though provides examples of:

* AbortedArc: Mars' plot was abandoned when Velvet took over;
this has point is hammered home by the ship – en route from Morrowind to Hammerfell – is wrecked on the coast of Skyrim.
* AmplifierArtifact[=/=]RingOfPower: Niralie (and then Arellius, after he steals them) carries several rings enchanted with effects such as waterbreathing and boosting magicka.
* AnAdventurerIsYou: The entire point of the plot.
* AnyoneCanDie: If your character's in enough danger or does something stupid enough, and gets a bad dice roll, then they will.
* BadDreams: Niralie and Psyfalia have them the first night because of the traumatic events of the day (the attack on Suran, then being attacked and wounded by Gudrun's crew, and then being chased by the troop of enemy soldiers.)
* TheCameo: At least one character from ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'', an alchemist in Vivec, makes an appearance, as the RP takes place just a couple years before the game.
* ComeWithMeIfYouWantToLive: Raylis to the group of adventurers, when the soldiers arrive at the guardhouse in Suran.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Happens quite a bit when players stop posting; they’re generally assumed to just have
not been officially carried out.there, or have been killed (if it's close to an event where that's possible, such as the guardhouse fight or the shipwreck.)
* CriticalFailure: These occur during low dice rolls.
* CriticalHit: And these can occur during particularly high ones.
* CurbStompBattle: Gudrun vs Per in the guardhouse in Suran. She doesn’t even have time to fight back.
* EasilyForgiven: Valentia forgives Arellius and Per fairly easily. Averted by Niralie, who holds a grudge against them.
* EnemyMine: Arellius realizes that with Gudrun dead, there’s no more point to fighting Llevana's crew. And since there’s a troop of soldiers murdering everyone in town, it's probably safest in the adventurers' group.
* EnsembleCast: Due to it being an RP, everyone gets equal focus.
* FantasticRacism: The ship Argonian to Sees-in-Shade, when Sees-in-Shade introduces himself by his Cyrodiilic name.
* FunWithForeignLanguages: The character list sorts the characters into three categories: ''Dramatis Personae Strenuus'' (active/alive), ''Dramatis Personae Mortuus'' (dead), and ''Dramatis Personae Ignavus'' (inactive).
* GameBreaker: Magic can be this. It’s balanced out by dice rolls and by heavy usage taking a physical toll on the caster.
* GlassCannon: Mages – magic is powerful, but not infinite, and strong mages tend to lack physical strength.
* HealingHands: Several characters know at least a little bit of restoration magic.
* HiddenDepths: Arellius thinks this about Valentia when he first assumes that she’s a rich girl and is surprised when she remarks casually that she’s seen people going through skooma withdrawal before.
* {{Invisibility}}: Katien used an invisibility spell a couple times.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Most of the characters, who eagerly signed up to be adventurers.
* KilledOffscreen:
** Usually assumed when a character goes inactive and the group was recently in a situation where someone could die.
** Happens to Katien, who nobody paid attention to during the wreck, but whose body is found by Sees-in-Shade.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Happens several times, usually in fights.
* LiteralMinded: An atronach that Alindrel summoned. She ordered it to help her get out, and break down a wall if necessary. It decided to throw fireballs at the stone wall.
* LivingIsMoreThanSurviving: Raylis tries to convince Arellius to join his organization so that he can be a part of something, not just living to get by.
* LogicalWeakness: Casting spells takes up magicka; a character who uses up most of it will be unable to use any more, and will find themselves physically weaker.
* MagicMisfire: A possible outcome of a lower dice roll, to keep magic from becoming a GameBreaker.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: The soldiers that went around executing everyone in Suran wore full armor, masks and all.
* MindControl: Sinyail uses it on one of Gudrun's {{Mooks}} to make the man attack his own allies, and Katien uses calming spells.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: After casting a shield spell to block the hole in the ship's hull, Sinyail attempts to have the inner wood absorb the water that already had leaked in. Unfortunately, the shield then fails, and the spell doesn't recognize the difference between the water that was there when he cast it, and the water that poured in afterward...
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Arellius, Valentia, and Eolwyn assume this when Nandrnil attacks them and an injured Niralie is left behind in the cave with him.
* OffWithHisHead: Arellius attempts this on Niralie and Valentia when they first meet. Katien's damage reflect spell saved their lives.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Eolwyn, Sinyail, and Nandrnil are over 100 years old, but elves age slowly.
* OldHeroNewPals: The second thread featured a few main characters from the first one, plus an otherwise new cast.
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: Per asking Arellius, “Oh, you want me to attack them ''now''?” loudly, right in front of the people they meant to attack.
* PlayByPostGame: Since it's a forum RP.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: In Maurzol's backstory, he tracked down a mage that had sent an assassin after him, all the way from Cyrodiil to Morrowind.
* RandomNumberGod: Velvet used dice to determine the outcome of most actions.
* RunOrDie: When Niralie, Valentia, and Arellius encounter Nandrnil. They’re weak from the shipwreck, two of them are wounded, and Valentia’s out of magicka; they don’t stand a chance against a mage and his summons, so they run.
* SensingYouAreOutmatched: At the guardhouse, Arellius realizes that there’s too many of the adventurers around, and that Per has betrayed him, so he flees.
* ShutUpHannibal: Nandrnil blames Eolwyn for his spell hitting Niralie, because her attacking him is what made him cast the spell to begin with. Eolwyn has none of it.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Psyfalia, at one point, trips and falls flat on her face. And then proceeds to do the same thing a second time in a row.
* SquishyWizard: The mage characters aren't very physically strong.
* SummoningRitual: Nandrnil and his wife attempted one to bring their son back from the dead. Instead, a wraith was summoned.
* SuperDrowningSkills: A large percentage of the cast was killed off when the ship sank (Aenar, Per, Katien, Psyfalia; also presumably Llela, Llevana, Sethesi, and the ship’s captain.) Part of the purpose was to kill off inactive characters, or in one case, to allow a player to start fresh with a new character, and at least one death was unplanned.
* WebcomicTime: TA2 has been running for a little over 2 years now. Four days have passed so far in-game, two and a half of which were skipped while the ship was sailing.
* WizardingSchool: Valentia, Psyfalia, and Niralie all attended the Arcane University in the Imperial City.

For many years, the [[http://uesp.net Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages]] served as an excellent source of information concerning the Elder Scrolls series of video games. Within this website resided the [[http://forums.uesp.net Unofficial Elder Scrolls Forums]], where much discussion on the maintenance and editing of the wiki, as well as the ES series as a whole, was conducted. Yet further within the UESPF resided a sub-forum for play-by-post roleplays.

This sub-forum saw many stories and characters from fictional universes of all kinds, yet for a long time there wasn't a dedicated roleplay taking place within the Elder Scrolls universe; the setting that the website was founded upon!

In 2011, a user named MARS put up the masterpost for [[http://forums.uesp.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=21697 Tamrielic Adventures]], a free-form adventure in the Elder Scrolls universe that took place 15 years before the story of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Several forum-goers joined and thus launched an adventure. Shenanigans ensued.

The original topic ended a year and a half later, accumulating 277 pages (5,674 posts) over its' course. After a few months, however, the story was revived in the form of [[http://forums.uesp.net/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=35013 Tamrielic Adventures Vol. 2]], which is still going on today (despite a few changes in management).

The roleplay is notable for being incredibly open in comparison to several roleplays on the site; players were and are free to choose their own paths apart from the 'main quest', carrying on in whatever manner they wished. This has led to some interesting adventures of incredible variety.

The RP is currently under the management of Co-Dungeon Masters Unionhack and Hissien, though this has not been officially carried out.
