Suggestions Feel free to use or modify any of these ideas without crediting me. If you like my idea for a backstory and characters, I could try my hand at writing some lore friendly dialogue for the new characters and the slaves. While I'm an amateur, I am willing to take direction and I'm patient enough to rewrite things several times to get it right. Dialogue changes (I think these sound more natural): (At the beginning, before being branded) What is it? ----> What do we have here? Now hold still, so I can examine how much you're worth. ------> Now hold still, so I can see what you're worth. (After the branding) Wake up, slave! No time to sleep! -------> Wake up, slave! It's not nap-time! Beautifully done! ----> Beautifully done, if I do say so myself. So, this is the new one they've been talking about? ----> Ah, finally some fresh meat! I just wish it'll last longer than the last one ----> I hope you survive longer than the last one. Just one? Do it again and I'll beat you senseless next time! -----> Just one? Do it again and I'll beat you senseless! OR Just one? Try harder or I'll beat you senseless next time! Hold your pussy lips with your fingers and spread them wide! ----> Hold your pussy open with your fingers. Spread those lips wide! Pull them up, so I can see what's inside! ----> Open up! Let me see what's inside! (After slaves are secured in their pens) Good, keep your eyes on them. Yes, sir! -----> Good, keep an eye on them. Two eyes, sir! Possible Backstory Disclaimer:While this backstory is based heavily on the Lore from previous games, Skyrim doesn't tell us much about what is happening in Morrowind during the 4th Era. Educated guesses have been made. House Dres, once one of the great houses of Morrowind (homeland of the Dunmer), was famous for enslaving anyone who wasn't an elf. Their massive saltrice plantations were tended by men, khajiit, and especially argonians. However, during the Argonian Invasion of southern Morrowind, House Dres lost many of it's slaves and almost all of it's territory. The Empire's failure to protect Morrowind later led to it succeeding and House Redoran became the leading house of the province. Meanwhile, House Dres lay in shambles. But the son of a wealthy Dres noble, Meldoth Dremir, had an idea. If using Argonians to grow crops proved disastrous, why not try using Nords to mine gold? He purchased a mine near the border to Skyrim (near Riften) and began discreetly capturing travelers. In order to avoid making the same mistakes, they plan to keep the operation completely under the radar. They target women because they are pleasant to the eye and easy to overpower. In order to keep costs low, they have recruited local bandits and mercenaries with the promise of free food, lodging, and women.
