Skyrim DLC Sized Quest/Story - "Mathmeldi" Chapter 1 + 2 + 3
Project Overview
Hi all. I am the author of 'Arweden - Custom Voiced Companion Mod' for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Not only does it add a companion mod but a Main Quest divided across 4 Chapters.
NOT only a companion mod, this project adds a new faction, The Resistance, a renegade High Elven sect dedicated to preserving freedom and restoring their home land to their former glory. They are here in Skyrim to excavate an ancient elven ruin which may hold a power which may assist in their efforts. At risk, however, of an invasion of their enemy, the Aldmeri Dominion. But a more ancient evil begins to awake. And beneath their feet, the long dead now awaken. The player must unwravel this mystery and stop this before it has a chance to carry out its evil plan.

Latest Updates
-
Based on Feedback, I have decided to create a bunch of new characters. Although there is a colorful cast of characters, there are a few that are 'generic' or 'background NPCs' which have no unique dialogue and there for fillers, this will change based on said feedback, I will be creating new dialogue and redesigning some of these generic characters into unique ones and write them into the story. As such the deadline will be expanded to feature these characters who will vary between minor to supporting characters. Stay Tuned.

Update
Progress on the project is continuing however I must balance between work which can vary between 3 to 6 days in a row, and this project can only be worked on during my days off. That being said remarkable progress has been achieved with a lot of bug fixes and of course main development of Chapter 2 onwards. Thanks to all who have contributed, I am in the process of finalising scripts. I've made some big changes to ensure the story is straight forward as it is progressed by the player. -
New Roles + New Deadline
Hi everyone, progress on story and dialogue is going faster than expected. Apart from awaiting a few more lines Chapter 1 Redux V1.5 will be live very soon. Dialogue for Chapter 3 and 4 have been finalised as such new roles will be available in the coming weeks -
Project Update
Hi all, I've cast a fare few characters in the last week or so. Fear not, more are coming very soon as I continue to finalise dialogue and personalities for each character. The auditions have all been of high quality! Thank you all! I've been polishing up the latest update to ensure it is of the highest quality possible as well. For the 'King of Mathmeldi' and the 'Princess', I am having difficulty choosing from all the auditions! I have listened to all of them several times now. Still, having to make a difficult choice. I will cast them very soon, likely by the end of the weekend. New characters will be put up also over the weekend. -
Lord Arcarinil Auditions Open
New role. Meet Lord Arcarinil, the secondary antagonist. He will be met in Chapter 3. Auditions open now!
Personality: Generally Haughty and Arrogant
Your recklessness and carelessness borders on compromising our safety, Lorasilia and would you risk bringing the whole place down on us?
It is a multilayered barrier with enchantments including a 'trapped' layer of which as you conjectured has a 'destructive' component to it.
I can’t make out anymore of this. It’s vague at best. But could it be an oath? A service to the king?
Personality: Generally Haughty and Arrogant
But we could cast a ward spell along with several spells or consume potions to increase our resistance?
Enough of this... we have little time and the Thalmor could well be on our trail.
Allow me to dispel your concerns... pun intended of course.
Lead/Major Role: Will appear in Chapter 2, 3 and 4
Along with the King and his daughter, Aranthil is a guardian and skilled warrior. I am looking for a voice actor that is able to add a 'savage and cold' voice but one that is articulated and calculating. I would rather have him have a 'deeper voice' to emphasise his 'warrior' like persona. He is physically alive but will be confronted as a 'projection' throughout the chapters.
Character inspired in part by 'Imlerith' from Witcher 3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg5nipXVL-A) and Warden Eternal from Halo 5 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98U8HdDTgxI)
Profession: Guardian, Soldier, Heavy Warrior
I am Aranthil. I stand eternally in service to Mathmeldi.
My reach is far across these hallowed halls. Your presence in Nagasel is most undesirable. You cannot escape my wrath.
You fought bravely... to the bitter end. I trust this time will end no differently!
I know where I am... but I know not 'when' I am. Who are you? And... what 'era' are we in?
You think you can just be a hero, storm in and defeat my father? This isn't just your typical fantasy story from those legends you read about!
You don't understand. He'll stop at nothing. He can't be reasoned with or bargained with. It can only end one way.
Antagonist/Lead/Major Role: Appears in all Chapters
Personality: Cold, Calculating, Driven, Arrogant, Selfish
Race: Ayleids; Ancient Race which have been wiped out. Eons ago, his race ruled an Empire
You should not have come here mortal
Time was once your ally mortal. But it has betrayed you! The Ayleids have returned!
Welcome mortal... to this place, where destiny will be unmade.
Antagonist/Lead/Major Role: Appears in Chapters 3 and 4
Profession: Spellsword
Personality: Cold, Calculating, Arrogant, Sadistic
Race: High Elf/Altmer
I will remove your organs one by one and take great pleasure in watching your life fade slowly before me.
The Ayleids may be gone. But elves shall soon rule Tamriel once more.
I am Lady Morginia, my pretty face will be the last thing you see before I send you to Oblivion.
Greetings. I am Loremaster Norilar, the foremost expert in
Ayleid Culture.Ayleids, also known as the Ancient Ones, Wild Elves, or
Heartland High Elves, were the first race to establish an empire in Tamriel.Actually there is and I believe someone of your particular
talents might be of use right now.
Once again, Elves shall rule Tamriel from White-Gold Tower... this time, forever. And we shall have peace.
Crumble beneath the eagle of the Aldmeri Dominion!
Only the Aldmeri, the Altmer with their noble allies have the wisdom and restraint to rule Tamriel!
Race: High Elf/Altmer Information on High Elves/Altmer: en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Altmer
I'm an alchemist if the smell of fungi, flowers and green and brown of all kind and the various jars laying about isn't obvious enough.
I ensure that the health of the Resistance is at its optimal and lower the risk of anyone dying a stupid and embarrassing death.
Personality: Arrogant, Boastful, Haughty
Anything of interest that we excavate or find from the pile of dirt or from the ruins within which are magical related I examine.
With the help of that walking book Norilar I also help with examining phrases or runes which have magical significance.
Personality: Approachable, Friendly, Boastful
I traveled all over Tamriel... to Hammerfell, Cyrodiil and High Rock to learn and continue to hone my craft from the best smiths in Tamriel.
Mind you. I've spent over a century honing my craft. And I'm just getting started. One day I hope to learn from the master smiths in Morrowind.
Personality: Friendly, Paranoid, Suspicious of Outsiders
You do not know what I do? Is it not obvious? No? Jo'Takha is a chef! So Jo'Takha cooks many things no?
Jo'Takha tried to escape Elsweyr. The Dominion captured Jo'Takha and wanted to execute him! The Aldmeri Resistance helped Jo'Takha escape.
Profession: Knight Paladin
Personality: Unhappy, Vigilant and Paranoid, Suspicious of Outsiders, Arrogant, Reckless
I'm a paladin knight of the Aldmeri Resistance. A soldier if you will. I'm assigned here to protect Loremaster Norilar and his researchers as they lead the expedition.
Then one day a Thalmor official turns up with accusations that my family helped some dissidents leave Summerset Isles.
I was an Altmer of
noble rank and title. I fled Summerset Isles along with my son after the
Thalmor killed my husband.I fight for the
Resistance in hope that my son and I can come home safe.I have a good feeling about you. I hope you prove yourself
useful in time to our efforts.
I will trust Lord Carenen's judgment for now and thus you have my trust too.
I am a captain who oversees the research wing here. Loremaster Norilar and his students answer to me. I ensure they remain on task in what we seek here in Mathmeldi.
For too long the Aldmeri Dominion has oppressed our people, corrupted the work and legacy of our Aldmeri ancestors and hastening our destruction.
