Skip to the bottom labelled "The Battle" if you don't want to read my long story :p
The Story:
"reincarnated wahl ok daal wah himdah do wuth Ehlnofey wah krif ok bok wuth paal, grah do dez, jul ahrk slaag, Bormah ahrk , gon ahrk oblaan."
In the 4th Era of Tamriel, chaos became peace. The Last Dragonborn has awoken at a time of dire need, filled with power and will, and entered the violence without fear. The World Eater, The Ancient Vampire, The Old Dragonborn who ventured into corruption, the banes of peace on Nirn have all perished at the might of the Dovahkiin, and an era of temporary harmony has finally grace the realm of Skyrim at last. As the Dragonborn lays up his sword to look into the secrets of the fable power, the Thu'um, he's unaware of what fate has in place for him. Unbeknownst to him, one of the many dragons resurrected by Alduin has already ventured far from Tamriel, seeking to be recognized as the God that he believes himself to be. This fiery Dov ventures his way far East. During this time, the Dragonborn stops at Solstheim and takes in residence with the Skaal.
On the far side of Nirn, a legendary hero emerges from the cloak of history, and sets out to make his return to Tamriel. The Hortator reborn, the liberator of the Blight, the beloved champion of Azura, the Nerevarine,alive and well and has finished his lifetime journey of soul searching in his departure to Akavir. On his stop on the small island, Ynslea, he overhears the story the dragon uprising happening in Skyrim from Imperial travelers. None of them know about Dovahkiin and his actions. After this, the Nerevarine sets out to return and look into the matter, but then a blazing red dragon from Tamriel flies down and shouts: "Strun-Ba-Qo!." The clouds darken, and lightning rains down from a pitch black vortex and tears through ground, carving up deep cracks and craters of the ground beneath the tiny people. The Nerevarine, using his physical and magical prowess, successfully lead the people into safety and through the use of Alteration, summons a powerful barrier to protect everyone from the Dragon's Voice. The dragon clears up the storm with a whisper, amazed at the Nerevarine's abilities.
The Red Dragon: Had I become enslaved to Paarthunaxx's tyranny of the Voice, I wouldn't have met quite an interesting mortal as yourself.
Nerevarine: "....."
The Red Dragon: Your abilities are just as impressive as the Dovahkiins, even more so in your mastery of magic. You, bow to me and recognize me as your Fire King and be my personal servant mortal.
Nerevarine: ......No
Fire King: Pathetic, arrogant mortal, learn your place and fear my power!
The Fire King shouts a dark red wave of fire at the fearless Dunmer, engulfing his area completely. The flames blew away suddenly, and the Nerevarine launches a massive, lightning bolt from his hands that strikes through the dragon's chest, dropping him quickly. The crowd silent in astonishment. As the dragon struggles to lift his head, the Nerevarine drifts quickly towards the beast, pulls out his legendary blade, Trueflame, and delivers a killing blow. He sheathes the blazing sword and stares at the dragon, deducing it to come from Tamriel. He quickly leaves on the next voyage and reroutes the vessel to Tamriel. The ship becomes damaged during a storm and is forced to land on the coast of Solstheim, the land the Nerevarine once traveled to face Hircine. He hears a loud shout, " Lok-Vah-Koor" that clears up the storm that wrecked his ship.
Pursuing the sound, the Nerevarine uses a spell to fly to the top of a mountain peak and surveillance the area. He jumps across a few ridges and floats to the bottom of a snowy area only to hear a cry of help. He looks and see a tall, strong man wearing shiny blue armor and he lets out a thunderous roar, "Fus-Ro-Dah!" that shakes the very fabric of the air and ground around them and completely destroying all who stood in front of him. The Nerevarine recognizes that this is the Thu'um, or the Voice that the red dragon used back at the island. What he doesn't know, is that he is staring at Dovahkiin, the hero who saved Nirn from Alduin, and the fact that he was killing a group of sadistic bandits who prey upon small villages. Assuming that the Dragonborn is a powerful being that is attacking innocent people,he runs to take action. Using his enchanted boots, the Nerevarine quickly dashes and gets the drop on Dovahkiin, covering his mouth with his hand and throwing him couple of meters into a boulder. The Dragonborn recovers, feeling the great strength of his foe, and prepares himself. The Nerevarine unsheathes Truflame and covers his body with a magical barrier, stronger than ebony and prepares himself while forming a destruction spell in his hand under his shield. It begins.
THE BATTLE
The Nerevarine has the Corprus disease and is immune to ageing completely. Technically speaking, him and the Dragonborn are still in their prime. The Dragonborn is here after the events of Skyrim and all of its the DLC, and the Nerevarine is here after the events of Morrowind along with 200 years of abstance from Tamriel, mastering his magical and physical abilities to even higher levels. I feel that makes this match on somewhat even terms, giving the Dragonborn the ability to use all of his shouts and the Nerevarine all of his powerful spells and enchantments.
Dovahkiin
Male Nord fully equipped in enchanted Dragonbone Armor, with resistance to fire and shock and boost to his stamina to keep up with the Nerevarine. Is equipped with a Dragonbone Sword and Stalhrim Sword enchanted with Chaos damage. Has all shouts and the magic that he gained on journey throughout Skyrim, he is NOT an Arch-Mage build here, just enough knowledge and abilities to not be totally outclassed in this area. He luckily has Auriels Shield strapped on him. I'm going to say just this, Auriel's Shield does NOT make him invincible! It's only effective in the direction of the attack he is receiving, it doesn't magically make his entire body impervious to damage. It Nerevarine finds an opening on him, he can hurt him in that expose area. If you guys use this shield as the only reason Dov wins here, then I'm taking it out of the battle. Dovahkiin is determined to win against this powerful aggressor.
The Nerevarine
Male Dunmer fully equipped in his old Dragonbone Cuirass, giving him complete fire protection. Wearing his symbolic Indoril helmet and is wearing his boots of binding speed, giving him the ability to move and extremely fast speed, by not too fast to completely blitz Dovahkiin. He wields the his Legendary blade, the Trueflame, sword of his previous incarnation that used it at Red Mountain. His is a master mage, more like a battlemage or spellsword here and has his famous spells that were lost such as Levitation. His shield is Eliedon's Shield that fortifies his health, and he is wearing Wraithguard, which boosts his already immense level of magic and provide resistances in all areas. His secondary weapon is the Spear of Bitter which is capable of deflect spells and, presumably shouts, and can summon atronachs. His body is in covered in an extremely potent flesh spell, beyond that seen on Tamriel, most likely the result of knowledge gain on Akavir. The Nerevarine is determine to avenge those the he think were innocent.
I'm using the versions of these two that makes the most sense in my view.
This is an age old rematch, considering that these two have fought before in history. The previous incarnation of Ysmir, Whulfarth, one of the most powerful Tongue and Dragonborn(maybe?) in history and Indoril Nerevar fought in open combat during the Battle of Red Mountain. In the Sermon 9(?) written by Vivec, Nerevar was depicted as fighting Whulfarth unarmed and making him bleed from the mouth presumably killed him. Whulfarth was resurrected later but thats deeper lore. Point is, the Nerevarine is Nerevar's spirit in a new body, he has the power to hurt and possibly kill a Dragonborn, and the Dragonborn is the new Ysmir incarnate, making this a millennium old rematch. So this isn't a "LOLz Dovahkiin use Soul Tear and Wabbajack for instant wins derp" match here, this is a serious battle. Please be creative about the match and state who you think wins and why.
Second Part:
Just a quick question, if you were in the world of the Elder Scrolls, which one of these two would you rather be and why?
Ok, that's that, now GO!
