I Am the King!

By Arkanikorde / LRCM team

 

 

 

 

What is "I am the King!" ?

 

"I am the King!" is a large-scale mod which is currently developped for Skyrim. It takes place in a new worldspace, simply named "New High Rock". This region doesn't exist in the lore, yet all of its aspects are lore-friendly (no conflict whatsoever with the TES background).

A cirque between Markarth and Jehenna, the region is ruled by various noble families forming feodal counties. An enormous effort has been made regarding the background: as a French team, we have tried to reproduce the French/Anglo-Saxon medieval society (of which Bretons draw their inspiration). For example, hierarchy and nobility laws have been punctiliously respected.

 

 

 

 

New High Rock background:

 

 New High Rock was founded by Grégoire de Sistre at the end of the Second Era, after he fled the war that made Talos create the first Empire. He settled in a uninhabited and dangerous region he pacified and named New High Rock. His subjects settled all around and founded three counties : Sintavoise, near the Athel-Loren lake, in the southern forests ; Penthiver, in the western prairies and Lestre on the northern coast. This secluded region avoided Imperial dominance for more than two centuries and became a small, yet powerful kingdom. The crown would move to the hand of the Montroise family when the Empire decided to annex New High Rock following the siege of Alesbourg city.

 

The de Sistre secretly sworn to take back the crown and set up a spy network named the Whisperers in order to favour their schemes.
The Montroise family would rule this country until the Oblivion Crisis, when the de Sistre rook advantage of the Empire's weakness to take the crown back until this day. It is worth to note that the Order of the Lily was created.
Being in conflict with the Empire again, the current King, Vortigern the Iron King, has taken sides with the Stormcloaks of Skyrim.

 

One of our teammates is a Middle Age specialist (aka "medievalist"), which garantees that this mod will be totally plausible regarding weapons, clothing but especially armours.

 

 

FAQ

 

What's this mod's goal?

 

As the title says, the player's ultimate goal is to becom King of New High Rock. However, there will be numerous ways to achieve this: will you seize power as a noble? A soldier? A priest? An assassin? At the end of the day, there will be seven different ways to do it!! Needless to say that optional quests will also be present, and that all will be based on a choices-and-consequences template.

 

Will dialogs be dubbed?

 

We intend to dub all quest dialogs and we hope we won't use any vanilla voice.

 

Will there be DLC requirements?

 

As for now, only Dawnguard will be required. Dragonborn is also examined in order to know if it will be required as well.

 

When will the project be finished?

 

Given the work we still have to do and the team that grows in size week after week, we cannot give an accurate deadline. Let's just say you will have to be patient.

 

How big is the team?

 

Our team is composed of around twenty people, and is looking for modders for enhance the mod the best way possible.

 

How big will the new region be?

 

New High Rock will be about half as big as Skyrim (the scale used to represent New High Rock's worldmap is different from the one used in Skyrim).

 

Where will the mod be available?

 

The mod will be first available on two French websites, then on Nexus.

 

How long has it been since the project started?

 

Arkanikorde began conception alone before the Creation Kit was released and then attracted other modders for this large-scale project, which should have been a mere small hold in the middle of Skyrim.

 

 

This mod requires Dawnguard

 

We're looking for some LevelDesigners and some recruiters

I would love to hunt in that forest! I support the idea and do hope this turns out just as good as I think it will.

 

I am no level designer and not nearly enough experienced with the latest construction set to help you. But I'll tell other modders about your work!

Thank you, it's always a pleasure read messages of support !

 

You can see below the first images of "Aprevent"

The pictures do look really nice, but the picture of the stables looks kinda clean. I believe the stones are too clean for a medieval city/settlement. Something like vines would decorate the stone a little. Not too much, but they would give the impression of the city's longevity.

Wow! Not any sign of activity here!

I'll cure that! As I'm the new communication manager of I am the King, I'll let you know what you should know!

And first, the new description of the mod:

“It is said the Empire of the Septims was born when a man became a god by conquering a whole continent. Among those who opposed Talos were the Bretons. Those vanquished in the battle of Sancre Tor did not all join Tiber Septim. Some fled his domination. Led by Grégoire de Sistre, they founded a new kingdom, New High Rock, in a remote area.

Shadows blends with light in the fate of this land. Noble knights serve tyrannical lords; learned enchanters hold conclaves in high towers while necromancers plot malevolent schemes in dark vaults; paladins and priests fight horrors spawned by the Old Forest. Here, ancient legends are still alive and mingling with new epics.

In his castle, an old king worn out by years of feudal wars witness his reign’s twilight. Who will wield Saarthul, the sword of Grégoire de Sistre, to restore glory and unity to the kingdom of New High Rock? Will you be the next king? Or will you only be one more name on the long list of victims of the War of the Broken Sword?

“I Am the King!†will make you travel in an immense region between Skyrim and High Rock in which dwell numerous wonders and dangers in its vast cities, castles, woods and dungeons. Overcome its perils and rise to the kingdom’s elite by sword, magic or scheme in a setting blending Western Middle Age and Elder Scrolls lore.â€

And from the news box now, we're on ModDB! In its contest and when I wrote these ligns in the finale phase!

And we need your support! We need that you vote for us! You can go on the ModDB page or directly on Top 100 part!

As I'm a bit happy (yes it's possible!), I share with you these screens, taken from ModDB!

Well, the author hasn't been here in 8 years.... so, yeah, I would guess nothing more is going to happen here.
