Skyrim Mod: Call For Vigilance

Skyrim Mod: Call For Vigilance

Project Overview

Story TLDR

Expanding upon new lore from Elder Scrolls Online, a clan of Dremora are seeking to return their banished Daedric prince Ithelia. A cult in service to them has risen in the area, helping them fully restore the banished prince. The Dragon born will answer a call to aid from a priory of Stendarr, where they will look to put an end to the cult's violence and stop whatever they have planned.


Story Overview

A cult in service to a warband of Dremora from the vanquished clan has arisen. The warband's leader, Quel’toth, was a loyal servant of Banished Daedric prince Ithelia and the protégé of Torvesard seeks to return this banished Daedric prince. Cult activity has called for action to be taken, a priory of stendarr have taken upon themselves to call for aid, sending out notices to nearby cities for vigilants of Stendarr to come to their aid.


The Dragonborn finds one of said notices and makes their way to the priory of Stendarr, found west of Skyrim deep into the mountains. Upon arriving the Dragonborn finds the priory ransacked, the priests and worshippers slaughtered by the cult. There is someone here though a Vigilant of Stendarr called Chaonet who also answered the "Call for Vigilance".


After meeting with Chaonet, the dragonborn will find a nearby town which has just been attacked and raised by the cult. Two survivors will be found Quentius and Veraeli, these two will aid the Dragonborn track down the cult. Find a way to open the portal that is believed to be the hub of cult activity, by gathering a sigil stone from the cult's mortal leader, Errane, and a powerful soul gem.


Upon opening the portal, Quentius and Veraeli reveal themselves to be Dremora who have been using powerful illusion magics to disguise themselves as an Imperial and Dunmer respectively. Having tricked the Dragonborn to open the portal through a ritual requiring divine blood (the Dragonborn’s blood) they are now able to enter a pocket realm of oblivion along with Quel’toth and restore their Daedric Prince. 


The Dragonborn must then follow them into the portal, upon confronting the three Dremora before they can reach the primordial glyphic that can restore Ithelia. A Choice must then be made; stop the Dremora from bringing back the prince, or let them. 


Mod Details

The mod takes place in a new worldspace, a valley swamp basin and snow capped mountains lining the borders, there’s a 4 stage main quest, and some minor side quests, new weapons and armour, as well as plenty to explore in this new worldspace.

Unpaid
Role assigned to: DavieDaveMan

Estimated Number of Lines: 20-40


Personality/Voice Style He is a stoic and calculating Dremora. Always seems like he is one step ahead of what’s going on. Dogmatic in his views, deeming them to be predetermined by Ithelia, he has unwavering confidence in his success as the fateweaver’s saviour.

Apprentice of Torvesard(Dremora from ESO’s quest about Ithelia), seeking to finish their work and restore Ithelia. He has a gift of fate sight, being able to see glimpses of a person’s potential fates but never a full vision, never able to discern which path may be walked. This is how they know the player is dragonborn even if they do not know it themselves, and hints at other potential actions the player has or may take.

  • “I will give you a final chance, take it and I will let you leave this realm and fate may ever be twisted in your favor. If not, I will not let you tamper with our plans here.” (Commanding, threatening)
