Disclaimer: While some of the content posted or described here(mostly W.I.P material), may be assured to be added into the mod, some things may end up being listed as CUT, meaning it may make it into the mod with some severe edits, or will not be added at all, and reasons for that will be listed. 

 

Selachii Related

 

Selachii Legacy (Same no Isan) - A comprehensive work that intends to explain many details about the Selachii race.

 

Selachii Stories (Same no Monogatari) - An offshoot of Marin's main work, these are going to be stories which were more focused than the material meant for the Legacy book. Rather than pure information, these go much more for story, and smaller details. Some could include specific people, where her interaction with them is the focus of the work, while others may rely on myth and legend - though never lying about that fact.

 

The Red Queen, in Black - from the writings of an unknown Selachii scholar, detailing the early history of the Shirogane family, and the current matriarch in the last century of the Second Era, Motoko.

 

Racial Phylogeny - Link - Edits the vanilla book to include mention of the Selachii, and may include other changes. 

 

Loading Screen Tips - Link - Similar to the vanilla texts about races, history, etc, the Selachii will have similar ones as well - perhaps even with related art for them.

 

References

 

Spoiler

Note that some of these references images may not be of Sharks, or anthropomorphic sharks, but are still used to get across the look of potential load screen meshes. Links will use the artist's name, in respect to their work. Do also note that while some images might be of males or females, but unless there is a physical reason(such as for texts mentioning pregnancy), either gender can work for the majority of these. Also, some images may be NSFW.

 

General

 

Race(Current possible uses: ...a lot) - scarlet-frostfurfitthewyvernsweaver

-Main consideration is the poses, including a sword if possible, not so much the clothing.

 

Sexual

Pregnant(Current possible uses: 4) - urwpregooflynx-flink

-The intent here is that, the same discomforts of pregnancy in other races, are severely reduced or non-existent in Selachii, though certain discomforts and such are still possible, mostly they see little behavioral changes, such as in disposition, during this time. It is also true that, Selachii are in little need of much help during pregnancy, to the point where it is not mandatory that a female Selachii has the assistance of a healer or as some could be called, a Midwife, and some Selachii have even had their children in isolated places, while they were completely alone.

 

Foreskin/Uncut/Uncircumcised(Current possible uses: 2) - sinfuldreams15

-Technical Note: Pose preferable, as to not require much rotation or zooming in or out.

 

Sheath(Current possible uses: 1) - truegrave9nawkaiggi

-Technical Note: Pose preferable, as to not require much rotation or zooming in or out. Also, an erection is not explicitly required.

 

Notes from the Iyashino-ka - A series of books or notes that deal with various anatomical and other issues, such as healing methods, information on practices related to heath, etc.

 

Circumcision - Text detailing the Selachii's view on this practice. - Link

 

Gift of the Gods - Written before her disappearance, this story was penned by one of the warrior-handmaidens of Queen Himiko, who ruled the Selachii before their departure from Akavir. 

-Note: Will likely appear among Gaku's collection. 

 

"Sleep" - A short story written in the aftermath of what likely was some great conflict faced by the Selachii in Akavir. It was once printed in a book, but only the torn page with this story remains, which was preseved among the archives brought from Akavir on the Kioku.

-Note: Will likely appear among Gaku's collection.

 

Spoiler

To the small, the end of war is not a victory. Those on high celebrate, while those below, suffer. 

 

The conflict may fade into history, and those involved will face their ends. But the tragedy of these events, may seek the longevity of being told through the ages. 

 

Two souls who lost it all, both succumbing to nothing, in the end. 

 

Sleep now, sweet Setsuko...

 

Helheim

 

The Night Lords - A series of books that detail some of the more hidden history of Vampires in Skyrim - those of the bloodline spawned by the daughter of an Ancient Nordic Warlord, Hela.

 

Vol 0 - Legacy - As the conflict ends, and the rulership of the Pale is chosen, Hela is informed of the whereabouts of her mother - captured in an enemy fortress. She vows to go alone, to rescue her, and only days later, men guarding the walls at night, hear soft tones upon falling snow, and fall to spears of ice penetrating their bodies. 

Vol I - Rite of Blood - Hela's intimidation of a priest who once knew her in life, and a former slave girl becomes one of the first to walk in Hela's shadow. 

Vol I-I - Enemy of the World - Staring to the night sky above the Sea of Ghosts, Hela encounters one whose legacy was begotten, in favor of another.

Vol II - Return of the Hound - Lost to the battle, the canine companion she had known from a pup, returns to her. (Note: This one may or may not contain bestiality)

Vol III - Snowhawk - Hela finds another to walk in her shadow, but this one has to make a choice between Sovngarde, or eventually, Coldharbour. 

Vol IV - Hel's Revenge - Hela learns that one of those she trusted the most, has betrayed her. In rage, she seeks bloody revenge. 

Vol V - The Frozen Throne - Hela's power is challenged by another Vampire clan, who highly doubt her claim to being a Daughter of Coldharbour. 

Vol VI - ????

 

Note: Some titles may not be final.

 

Other Books

 

Horizon - You find everything you want in life, and settle down. But something can always come from the horizon to do so little as to bother, or even so far as to threaten you and everything you hold dear, once again.

 

Night in the Woods - (W.I.P) An elven girl saved from the advances of men seeking carnal pleasures, she glances upon the form of a feminine, muscled Orc standing over her and the corpses of the men, that she comes to find has a past like herself, that involves the same individual. 

 

Nature's Gift - Many of Tamriel's creatures may remain mysterious, even if much can be known about them. Of these, Spriggan may seem like nothing more than guardians of forests, of nature itself, but unseen to the races of Nirn, they may indeed be much more. No matter if they have societies of their own, culture that is foreign to the minds of men and elves, the goals of some may not be as malicious as some believe their actions to be. To those who are perhaps spurned by the societies of men, one in the right place, and perhaps mind, may understand the truth about these creatures.

 

NOTE: Character journals and other related content like notes and such, are(or will be) mentioned in other entries.

I'm curious, has anything else been written since this was posted? (it's not every day you find a Skyrim mod with this level of worldbuilding.)

A lot of what is listed here is as suggested, a work in progress. Most of it will only be revealed whenever it gets added to the mod, though some books/notes/etc might get added early, but not placed in-game until needed.

 

Much of the material related to the Selachii's history will be in a new area of Apocrypha that I have started building(which will be accessible to the player even if Dragonborn's quest hasn't been started), but have not started adding the written materials yet. For what is listed in the Other Books section, only Night in the Woods has a decent amount of progress, while Horizon has barely been started(still drafting ideas), and Natures Gift is still just an idea at this point.
