The Maran Redemption

As most of you probably know, I'm finding the prospect of a return to SSG a little intimidating. Consequently, I'm working on a related project by way or a warm up exercise.

 

The Maran Redemption is a splinter group from the Temple of Mara that is deeply concerned about the brutality of Skyrim justice. They particularly abhor the number of young women who are simply hunted down and killed. Hired thugs, bounty hunters, even the Companions - none show any qualms about extigushing young lives if they slip through the fingers of the local law. If only they could be returned to face justice, then a great many of these women could be rehabilitated and serve useful roles in society. It would take a firm hand and strict guidance of course, but in her mercy Mother Mara does not shy away from tough love if it serves the best interests of her children.

 

What this means to the player is a series of radiant bounty quests to capture criminals and return them to jail where they can undergo the pillory treatment from XAZ' Prison Overhaul. (I got tired of wishing there was someone in those stocks when I walked past them :))

 

The main quest giver is going to me a priestess of Mara baed in Dragonsreach jail. I'm thinking of basing her loosely on the nun in The Blues Brothers. The Redemption itself is sort of a Maran equivlent to the Vigilants of Stendar. Just as the Vigiliants have more or less reversed conventional Stendarian notions of mercy, so the Redeption have similarly reinterpretted Maran Love and Mercy.

 

Should be fun! :)
