I am unsure if it fits here if not please move it.
The general idea was to create an RP group for casual players that dont want to be hardcore members of the Telvanni and dont have the time to participate in most events.
It would also serve as a RP pool for those players who dont really fit into the house itself or dont want to play a Telvanni or dunmer.
Finally the mercenaries allow for more casual RPG like camping, wandering, drinking in a tavern, fighting etc.
The mercenaries would work for House Telvanni and get their missions from them, they will be paid for their work (to make it more attractive for newcomers) and be pretty much independent. Multiple mercenary groups are entirely possible and could focus on certain play styles or races.
The power level should be low - mercenaries are in the end soldiers and not superheroes. Also the need of cooperation wouldnt be existant if just every mercenary happens to be a demigod.
Plot ideas would be given by House Telvanni like obtaining a treasure or artefact or defeating enemies or simply hunting down ingredients etc. The plots should really be more questlike and doable in one session, so the mercenary players dont have to be present each time.
