What Is Saracen's Land ?

2008-06-25T22:46:00.000-07:00

It's a new worldspace of Elder Scrolls IV:Oblivion with ancient Arab settings, covering the era of Arabian Nights (1001 Nights) with quests, NPCs and different settings with vanilla version of Oblivion. It is an RPG of Arabian Nights with tales taken from One Thousand and One Nights (Arabic: كتاب ألف ليلة وليلة‎ - kitāb 'alf layla wa-layla; Persian: هزار و یک شب - Hezār-o yek šab).

It is a collection of stories collected over many centuries by various authors, translators and scholars in various countries. These collections of tales trace their roots back to ancient Arabia and Yemen, ancient India, ancient Asia Minor, ancient Persia (especially the Sassanid Hazār Afsān Persian: هزار افسان, lit. Thousand Tales), ancient Egypt, ancient Mesopotamian Mythology, ancient Syria, and medieval Arabic folk stories from the Caliphate era. Though the oldest Arabic manuscript dates from the fourteenth century, scholarship generally dates the collection's genesis to somewhere between AD 800-900.

The tales themself consists in the volumes:

Volume I covers Story Of King Shahryar and His Brother
Volume II: Nur al-Din Ali and the Damsel Anis Al-Jalis
Volume III: The Tale of Sultan Omar Bin al-Nu'uman and His Sons Sharrkan and Zau al-Makan
Volume IV: The Enchanted Horse
Volume V: The Ebony Horse
Volume VI: Sindbad the Seaman and Sindbad the Landsman
Volume VII: The History of Gharib and His Brother Ajib
Volume VIII: Sultan Mohammed Bin Sabaik and the Merchant Hasan
Volume IX: Ali Nur al-Din and Miriam the Girdle-Girl

For the first phase we will create the worldspace and landmarks.
