Written by brian C. McKee. INTRODUCTION Welcome To the Elder Scrolls Tabletop RPG Experience. For most of you, a tabletop experience is already well and truly embedded in your mind. But for the sae of those that ha!e yet to experience an RPG played with dice, paper, and your table, " will #i!e you a $uic rundown of the system. A Tabletop RPG is a #ame, not unlie a board #ame, but with so much more too it. %ithin the confines of a board #ame, you ha!e a #oal, and a set of ob&ecti!es and rules to #uide you. This is a little bit lie a tabletop RPG, but a tabletop RPG has &ust so much more too it. "nteraction with a world brou#ht to life by ones ima#ination, a sheet with uni$ue character information on it, and an always' different storyline, #uidin# players and their in'world a!atars throu#h an awe'inspirin# world, in an ad!enture ne!er to be for#otten by those who experience it, and those who are effected by it. The #ame world, and mechanics are different with e!ery #ame. (ere, you are about to del!e into a world of ma#ic, monsters, and abo!e all, the Elder Scrolls themsel!es. T(E R)*ES Rules, +o matter what the #ame is, are re$uired to eep it balanced, fair, and abo!e all, fun. )sually. +ot as hea!y here. (ere, the rules are enou#h to eep you mo!in# on your #oal, but not enou#h to constrain you. The rules for rolls in this #ame are pretty simple. %hen rollin# any die, let,s say, for now, a d-., and your /ne'handed sill is 0.. 1ou are attacin# an o#re. %hen you swin#, if you ha!e a per for maces, and you are usin# such a weapon, then you will be #ranted a bonus. %ith a sill of 0., you #ain a 23. %ith the mace per at le!el 4, that,s another 24, totalin# at a 25 modifier. 6 modifier is somethin# that adds or subtracts from a rolls initial !alue. 6 7-. roll of 8 with a modifier of 29 will become a 7-. roll of :. This system will help mae your rolls feel more lie your sills truly ha!e an effect. E!en if you roll a 4, which is normally a critical'fail, if you ha!e a lar#e enou#h bonus ;2< or abo!e= than critical failures won,t happen. Generally, the players ha!e to follow other rules, which will be detailed in the rele!ant chapters of this boolet. %(6T 1/) +EE7 T/ P*61 Pretty standard RPG fare, you will need a 7+7 standard dice set. This comes with> a 0 sides, six sided, 5 sided, two 4. sided, 4- sided, and -. sided dice. 1ou will also need either di#ital or photocopy !ersions of the character sheets that are comin# with this boolet. These and a pencil are the bare essentials. 1ou can sue flash cards to store your character techni$ue info on, if you run out of space, which is liely to happen. CHAPTER 1 Races "mperial Natives of the civilized, cosmopolitan province of Cyrodiil, the Imperials are well-educated and well- spoken. Imperials are also known for the discipline and training of their citizen armies. Though physically less imposing than the other races, the Imperials have proved to be shrewd diplomats and traders, and these traits, along with their remarkable skill and training as light infantry, have enabled them to subdue all the other nations and races, and to have erected the monument to peace and prosperity that comprises the lorious !mpire.

S%& Cha'(er The "ods A)a(osh* %katosh is the chief deity of the Nine "ivines 6the prescribed religious cults of Cyrodiil and its provinces7, and one of two deities found in every Tamrielic religion 6the other is 4orkhan7. .e is generally considered to be the first of the ods to form in the -eginning ,lace1 after his establishment, other spirits found the process of being easier and the various pantheons of the world emerged. .e is the ultimate od of the Cyrodilic !mpire, where he embodies the &ualities of endurance, invincibility, and everlasting legitimacy. Ar)a+* $ember of the Nine "ivines pantheon, and popular elsewhere as well. %rkay is often more important in those cultures where his father, %katosh, is either less related to time or where his time aspects are difficult to comprehend by the layman. .e is the god of burials and funeral rites, and is sometimes associated with the seasons. .is priests are staunch opponents of necromancy and all forms of the undead. It is said that %rkay did not e+ist before the world was created by the gods under 4orkhan3s supervision8urging8trickery. Therefore, he is sometimes called the $ortals3 od. D,&ella* ,opular god of the Nine "ivines. In Cyrodiil, she has nearly a dozen different cults, some devoted to women, some to artists and aesthetics, and others to erotic instruction. -%l,a.os* 'ften associated with 9hunal, the Nordic father of language and mathematics, 9ulianos is the Cyrodilic god of literature, law, history, and contradiction. $onastic orders founded by Tiber *eptim and dedicated to 9ulianos are the keepers of the !lder *crolls. K+.are(h* (ynareth is the strongest of the *ky spirits and is the deity of the heavens, the winds, the elements, and the unseen spirits of the air. ,atron of sailors and travelers, (ynareth is invoked for auspicious stars at birth and for good fortune in daily life. In some legends, she is the first to agree to 4orkhan3s plan to invent the mortal plane, and provides the space for its creation in the void. *he is also associated with rain, a phenomenon said not to occur before the removal of 4orkhan3s divine spark. Mara* Nearly universal goddess. 'rigins started in mythic times as a fertility goddess. In *kyrim, $ara is a handmaiden of (yne. In the !mpire, she is $other-oddess. *he is sometimes associated with Nir of the 3%nuad3, the female principle of the cosmos that gave birth to creation. "epending on the religion, she is either married to %katosh or 4orkhan, or the concubine of both. S(e.darr* *tendarr is the patron of righteous might and merciful forbearance. .e is the inspiration of magistrates and rulers, the patron of the Imperial 4egions, and the comfort of the law-abiding citizen. *tendarr has evolved from his Nordic origins into a deity of compassion or, sometimes, righteous rule. .e is said to have accompanied Tiber *eptim in his later years. In early %ltmeri legends, *tendarr is the apologist of $en. Talos* Tiber *eptim, Talos, the "ragonborn, .eir to the *eat of *undered (ings, is the greatest hero-god of $ankind, and worshipped as the protector and patron of )ust rulership and civil society. Tiber *eptim con&uered all of Tamriel and ushered in the Third !ra and the Third !mpire. In his aspect of 5smir, 3"ragon of the North,3 Tiber *eptim is also invoked as the patron of &uesting heroes. /e.,(har*:enithar is the deity of wealth, labor, commerce, and communication. .is priests have shown that the way to peace and prosperity is through earnest work and honest profit, not through war and bloodshed. :enithar is understandably associated with :3en. In the !mpire, however, he is a far more cultivated god of merchants and middle nobility. .is worshippers say, despite his mysterious origins, :enithar is the god 3that will always win3.
