Chapter 37: A Skyrim Republic?!

Date: January 30th, 2025

In the year 201 of the 4th Era on the continent of Tamriel in another world, there is a region known as Skyrim in which a civil war has begun between Stormcloak separatists led by Ulfric Stormcloak and the Imperials who wish to stay within the vast empire that controls much of Tamriel despite having recently abandoned Hammerfell. In the settlement of Helgen, captured prisoners including Ulfric himself were tp be executed by Imperial soldiers when the dragon attack and laid seige to the settlement. Among the prisoners was a humble nobody, caught up with Ulfric and captured along with him. This nobody would eventually escape towards the village of Riverwood and from there, the capital of the local hold: Whiterun. There, this nobody became somebody as they found out they were Dragonborn, a legendary figure with the power to shout words of power. And soon, they would choose to make a choice regarding the civil war. The balance of power relies on them, the civil war is at a peculiar pause that would only break once they chose a side in the war. But before the Last Dragonborn could make their choice, a strange collection of bandits, vampires, and Dragon Cultists came for them in the dead of night for 2 reasons. The first was to kidnap the Dragonborn. The second was to steal clothing, weapons, armor, and food. Whiterun was overrun through stealth and brute force and magical power.

They also kidnapped a tailor for they had big plans. And before anyone knew it, a so called democratic uprising began in Whiterun, overthrowing the local Jarl with ease due to stealing so much gear from the guards and even the Companionw. This uprising was but a cleverly planned charade for the strange band of bandits, vampires, and Dragon Cultists were most of the uprising themselves and managed to lure in a significant number of unsuspecting people to join their "cause". With the Dragonborn captured along with Whiterun, they had both key elements that would have been key to the victories of either the Imperials or the Stormcloaks in the civil war. The leader of the strange band is none other than the First Dragonborn himself, Miraak. Miraak was freed from captivity by none other than the Harbringers Of Destruction, technically led by Katherine Glassgate, former tyrant and ruler of the now fallen interdimensional Nacirema Empire. By the standards of Earth, all of this happened on January 20th, 2025. Time moves a lot faster in Tamriel, relatively speaking. Miraak attempted to bend the will of the Last Dragonborn after Whiterun and the entire hold thats named after it was conquered. Blood flowed from the steps up to Dragonreacn to the northern gate of Riverwood. The Bend Will shout did not work on the Last Dragonborn and they were able to escape by knocking Miraak over and escaping the prison below Dragonreach. Somehow, they managed to get away from Whiterun Hold without being caught.

And now, all of Skyrim belongs to the so called "Skyrim Republic" and the Last Dragonborn has learned a new shout after exploring caves to level up and find a hiding place. A shout that shouldn't even exist. A shout that summons internet memes from Earth. And what do you know? I along with many others ended up going to Skyrim because we knew about their entire charade in advance. We quickly arrived to the destroyed settlement of Helgen. The bandits who have taken over the place shout: "Who's there?!" 3. 2. 1. Their corpses now lie on the ground and we ignore them. There was no reasoning with the bandits. They were out for blood. It didnt take long for us to reach Riverwood. The guards and bandits didnt last a second against us. its like you could see a trail of blood constantly following us. I sigh: "This is so boring. Look at them. Theyre like the smallest of small fries compared to what we have faced up to now. I expected to experience a chaotic hangout here but Im just not seeing anything resembling that. All I see is people going on with their lives as if they arent being ruled by an incompetent government that is issuing ridiculous and evil things constantly. *points at a sign we see as we walk through Riverwood* Look at that sign! It reads: 'Any man found wearing women's clothing shall henceforth be arrested and charged for they are most definitely child predators.'
