Interregnum I
Welcome to Interregnum!
There will be three alliances, each consisting of of three players, opposed by admin factions. The goal of each alliance is restoring peace in Tamriel by securing The Ruby Throne in Imperial City and defeating the other alliances. However, in order to do that they must also deal with Molag Bal, who threatens to destroy Tamriel. Furthermore, the alliances are very unstable and there is many inner threats players will have to deal with.
The victorious alliance will be chosen using the point system (loosely inspired of Westeros Tournament). Passing the events and war in Cyrodiil successfully will be essential for the victory, samely as cooperation with your allies. Make no mistake, victory will have its cost.

MAP
- There are 9
alliance fortifications
(including Weye and Fort Alessia) around Rumare Bay. Each alliance will start with three alliance fortifications, once they are unlocked by an event. You are not allowed to leave any alliance fortification empty.
- Any new fort you build in the mainland, must be further from an alliance fortification than can a character with regular movement points march in one turn ( so far it cant reach even ZoC of the alliance fortifications).
- Each alliance can also have maximally one fort on Imperial Isle. Such fort must not be directly blocking an access into Imperial City (the violet area)
- You can take Imperial City any time, but you get no points for holding it, unless you own at least 5 alliance fortifications.
- For each 3 continuous turns you hold Imperial city you get a point.
- If an alliance manages to gain dominance (controls 9 or more settlements in Cyrodiil, or controls at least 5 alliance fortifications), the other two alliances may join forces. They can remain allies for 3 turns after the first alliance is not dominant anymore.
Use of ships in Rumare Bay is restricted by the following rules. Every alliance has two spots for their ships (on map -
Dominion, Pact, Covenant
). During your turns you can use ships to transport your units, but after that they must return them to the spots (in each spot can be maximally 3 ships). You are not allowed to attack other ships, and neither block the other alliance ships. The Bay must remain sailable for all alliancs.
- If you manage to take Bruma/Weye/Fort Alessia/Imperial City, you can use these ports as another place, where you can keep a ship.
Doesnt count for Cheydinhal port.
- Being the first one who takes 3 settlements in Cyrodiil from admin factions - 2 points
- Being the first one who takes 6 settlements in Cyrodiil from admin factions - 2 points
- Being the first one who takes 9 settlements in Cyrodiil from admin factions - 2 points
- Being the first one who takes 3 settlements* in Cyrodiil from other alliances - 2 points
- Being the first one who takes 6 settlements* in Cyrodiil from other alliances - 2 points
- Being the first one who takes 9 settlements* in Cyrodiil from other alliances - 2 points
*Not Fort Alessia, Weye or Imperial City. Also doesnt count for settlements you take twice in 10 turns. This exception is however valid only after the alliance fortificatins are activated. Before that these settlements count too.
- Killing enemy starting FL is worth of 1 point, samely as taking their capitals (Alinor, Elden Root, Dune, Stormhold, Mournhold, Windhelm, New Orsinium, Wayrest, Sentinel)
Each 20 turns will be awarded points for:
- The Strongest Economy
- The Strongest Army
- Territorial Gains (non-Cyrodiil) - settlements taken minus settlements lost.
- War Missions (see IV.)
End of the hotseat
- The hotseat will most likely end on turn 60.
- All winners of a the winner alliance shall receive a signature. Whether they receive a medal and a rep reward, as was originally intended, is currently under being decided, as the hotseat is longer run by the GS.
- Roleplaying is not mandatory. However, if there will be anyone worthy, the prize for the best roleplayer will be given - 1 point to the alliance the winner comes from.
The Rules

- No exploits/bugs allowed.
Posting defeats, making walls of units on map to disallow enemy agents to move and stomping/killing agents with units, surrounding armies/navies to deny retreat, intentionally spreading a plague with agents/units, stepping on a merchant to remove him from a trade resource, exploiting AI factions ( for example demanding/accepting money or settlements from AI factions), and more.
