Part 2 of Last Days of the Third Era

THE ELDER COUNCIL DECLARED REGENT

The Imperial City – After the urgent session assembled yesterday morning, which lasted until late hours, the Elder Council issued the following statement:

“By ancient precedent, the Elder Council shall rule the Empire as regent until a new Emperor is crowned. Since no direct heirs survive, and the Council cannot propose a list of candidates in such a short term, the discussion on the subject of succession is delayed until the next session of the Council in full assembly, which can be expected within the following fortnight.”

A New Elder Scrolls Fic: Last Days of the Third Era

Last Days of the Third Era is a collection of articles from the Black Horse Courier, following the events and reactions after the assassination of Emperor Uriel Septim VII. I started this in 2009, and like so many TES projects, I never finished it. The material I have covers the first two weeks after the assassination, and stops more or less just before the attack on Kvatch. I’d like nothing more than to promise I’ll finish it, but I likely won’t – unless the act of posting it here somehow magically transfers me to the state of mind I’d been in while writing it. Here’s to hoping!

Part 1 of Last Days of the Third Era

EMPEROR AND HEIRS ASSASSINATED

The Imperial City – Emperor Uriel Septim VII was slain last night around midnight in the Imperial Palace. He was stabbed with a dagger through his back, receiving a mortal wound that the court healers could not heal despite all their efforts. The Imperial Guard has seized and executed the assassin on sight, but no information about the identity of the murderer has been released as of yet.

Third Round of Fics

Which I believe will be the last to show off old Elder Scrolls stories. Oh, I have more – but nothing that I’d feel comfortable posting without major revisions. I’m still far from catching up with everything I have written for Mass Effect, though, so there may be a few more of these ads in the weeks to come. But don’t worry: I’ll run out, eventually.

This week I present:

Can’t Stop Laughing – which is, strangely enough, one of the first Saren/Nihlus stories I’ve written. Also, one of the least popular, if the reviews on FFN are an indication. It’s supposed to be funny, and I had fun writing it, but let’s face it: humor was never my strong suit.

Unnerved and Unnerving –  this is a short prequel to The Candidate, and, while being equally unpopular as the previous one, it happens to be one of my favorites. Saren and Nihlus, last days aboard the Virial, and a nasty clash of natures.

The Ephemeral Bride – an Elder Scrolls ficlet describing Breton myths on the origin of celestial bodies in the light of the worship of Mnemoli (god, I love that word so much).

The Bjoulsae River – a correspondent of the Imperial Geographical Society writes about the lands and peoples around the Bjoulsae River in High Rock.

That’s that.
