Nerevarine, Dagoth Ur and The Tribunal
(Dagoth Ur faction is controlled by an admin (me), and will be fighting you all in Vvardenfell (the big isle in the middle))
- In order for you to win the hotseat, Dagoth Ur must be destroyed.
- Dagoth Ur can be slained only by Nerevarine, no any other army. Nerevarine is controlled by Great House Dres (so this way all houses can participate) and starts close to Vivec City.
- if Ghostgate is held by an allied faction (to house Dres), Nerevarine can cross the Ghostfence without having to take Ghostgate (would be moved to the other side of the wall via admin console).
- For as long as Dagoth Ur lives, The Tribunal Temple must fight him.
- And for as long as Nerevarine lives, The Tribunal cant attack Great House Dres (until Dagoth Ur is defeated, then it will not matter anymore.
Later there might be also some smaller events, and much later there could be some sort of Red Year.
