MW May Modathon 2024 Week 1 - Brainstorming
Theme - Mysticism and Prophecy
Brainstorming Plot Ideas
Theme - 'Mysticism and Prophecy'
These are the two possible concepts I came up with for the theme:
Option One: A Missing Student of Mysticism
- explore their home/laboratory and pick up the pieces of what happened through fragmentary notes
- lost while trying to discern patterns from the past - in search of a prophecy?
- Tell a story in a single room through notes and environmental worldbuilding
Option Two: The Failed Nerevarine Incarnates
- Perhaps an exploration of the fate of one of the Failed Incarnates such as Peakstar
- Though rumors abound regarding Peakstars fate, they fell fighting an Ash Vampire. A quest could follow someone else's attempts to find them
Ultimately I decided against the second option, as I could not come up with a convincing enough concept for the fate of any of the Failed Incarnates. The first option offered more flexibility.
Quest Name Ideas:
- A Purrfect Paradox - if the mage is a khajiit.
- Tipping the Scales - if the mage is argonian
- The Scales of Fate
- Ours is to Ask
Implementation
Objects
Books
- 'Diary of Narvs Sodryth', Tamriel Rebuilt
- Perhaps best not to add the book itself as it is quest-related and would mean making TR a requirement, but Narvs Sodryth can be referenced
- 'The Image and the Divine', Primate Dalus - On the difficulty of perceiving the whole of a Divine. - Tamriel Data
- Teleportation Praxis, Vol. I, Voganna Plotinus - Teleportation: Premise & Praxis - Tamriel Data
- Varieties of Thought, Vol I, II & III, author: unknown - a treatise on the various schools of thought on the fundamental nature of magic - Tamriel Data
