Introduction to Politics

Politics is based around a dangerous infrastructure within Tamriel, collapses are frequent, deviousness is spread and bribery is regular; all in all a dangerous occupation at best. However for all its faults, it is the only thing which stands between democracy and anarchy. The goal of all political groups is to maintain a land-mass in respectful conditions of the traditions of the peoples (and cultures), whilst introducing numerous ways to govern that particular land-mass towards a prosperous future.

This is of course; also, the purpose of the Elder Council, to facilitate to His Excellency, The Emperor, the needs of the peoples within the empire which he governs. Without the Elder Council uprisings would be disgracefully regular. The Emperor is the figurehead of this vast task; however the politicians ensure that The Emperor is advised thoroughly before decisions are made, they serve the people to a certain degree while maintaining a sturdy relationship with the royal court. They are the neutrality which balances the equation. The empire (and its peoples) would fail to exist without His Royal Highness, The Emperor, and vice versa.

Always remember the goal of politics is not to further your own personal agendas but to protect the aristocracy and the people from each other. The Elder Council maintains itself and so is not influenced by either side. Their loyalty resides with the group who has the best morality, not the one with the most money lining their pockets.

The Call of Silence and Right of Admonishment will be applied wherever necessary, although The Emperor has Aedric blood in his veins, we may council him against certain events. It is not in the council?s nature to enrage His Highness, The Emperor but it has been known in several historic events for Emperor and Council to be at war. In this era, it is common knowledge, that although we remain neutral, we should not attempt to anger such a powerful figure.

The Emperor leads us; we advise him when necessary and protect him from threats. Though first and foremost the job is to alert The Emperor of the certain needs of the empire while, as mentioned above, ensuring the people and aristocracy that their views will be heard and the future shall remain in the light of Akatosh. Prosper to lead the Empire and its people to glory!

This is the opening to a piece I am writing. Feedback would be appreciated by all!

No problem - good luck with the project! I'll be carefully watching progress, can't wait to see more screenshots...

When I tried the previous alpha construct yesterday from months ago it was shaping up to be absolutely awesome, even though it obviously wasn't finished and had terrible bugs it still had some fandabeey-dozey ideas and architecture in there. Awesome! When I was talking to invader yesterday he told me of a beta, a beta to end all betas! It should be out next month apparently.

Sound very interesting! Welcome to the Spellhold Studios as well!

Thanks for the welcome!

It's good to see that you'll still be around Hector, my jaw dropped when I saw you were leaving and thanks for getting us this awesome forum set up. Also a big thank you to the Spellhold Studios team for welcoming us with such a warming embrace.

Very nice, Clucky! I like that part with Lucien! Yuo shoudl probably post this in the non-protected forum though!

You hold the power my friend. If you could would it be possible for you to move the dang thing for me. Thanks for the compliment and your help Hector!
