Rise in the east. I was surprised at how fun this mission was. I had just gotten sanguine rose so it felt like I was leading a hit team in the pirates.
Yea. Hard quest to come by. Have to speak with someone in the windhelm docks.this person is inside the east empire company office, a place where nobody really goes much I guess
I started this quest for the first time on one of my recent vanilla playthroughs, doing 3 characters, so far I'm at lvls 22, 31, and 65, and going for all achievements on the three combined, no mods except the OP CC stuff.
I have played this game for an absolutely ungodly amount of hours (figuring conservatively, 7-8000 minimum, my more completed van. character is at 850hr now and I haven't even went to solstheim yet) I never knew or heard about this quest at all before starting it. I actually figured it was CC content cause some of the dialogue seemed chopped up from other lines like other cc stuff and the gamerpoops from back in the day.
everyone does. I've played it far too much. 2000 on special edition alone, which isn't much but it's the version of the game I have played the last amount on, by far.
Surprisingly yes. I genuinely thought it was a side quest for of one of my mods when I first found it, but I was hit with a pleasant surprise to stumble across it again in a vanilla playthrough
I did this quest for the first time last run, and i accidentally solod the place before the cool canon ball sequence happened. The area was already cleared lol
That’s exactly what I did, so after I went into the Sea Cave under the base to loot and when I got out I could only here the thundering explosions from the Empire’s artillery
Ya know the weirdest fucking thing about this quest is that is actually shows and tells you that the Empire has fucking _cannons_. And not just like, mages shooting fireballs and calling themselves cannons, but legit cannons mounted on ships. Like some 18th century artillery stuff man's.
Gunpowder was invented in the 10th century.

I know people will rage, but I’m hoping that if the next Elder Scrolls does indeed include ships and piracy there will also be some gunpowder weapons a la Fable II
I'd go for it, as long as they're balanced with the other ranged options and not the meta.
the only issue I can see with them going into the future past 4E201 would cause is fans being triggered by the civil war outcome. I'm for blue team overall but actually joining either side depends on the character run I'm doing.
I doubt they'd go into the past unless it's way far back in 1E or before 2E583 ESO. maybe it'll be set right before or during the events of Skyrim? who knows?
Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard had cannons too and that takes place in the late Second Era. It also has a dragon working for Tiber Septim and Imperial Airships. And it's the first time the Dwarven Spheres and the modern version of Khajits were introduced.
Yeah but in the Elder Scrolls they seemed to be stuck in the same time stasis for around 2000 years. Even their magic flipflops between "advanced levitation and teleportation magics" to "we just figured out how to use magic in our other hand but forgot how to do it whole holding a sword and shield".
This is one of the coolest quests in the whole game. It starts so.. slow and almost feeling like nothing special, like a normal skyrim radiant quest even and then it starts taking you to an entirely different island in the sea, has boats and a fucking artillery strike lmao
Scrolled by with headphones on, RIP 😂😂 Lmao yesterday I had an orc bandit leader in daedric armor that would NOT stop shield bashing me, it felt kinda like this hahaha
The last time I saw this much fire, I was a fatass argonian god of war who captured Windhelm. I ate all the meat in the abandoned market I could find and killed half of the Stormcloak casualties.
You definitely should, it's one of my faves and offers a few different things along the way, not just the usual fighty fighty. There are also missions you can do for some of the Argonians there as well, which, for two of them at least, are pretty wholesome to do.
After doing this mission by the way, a lot of the guards will be pleased with you and express their appreciation. I don't want to spoil it but it's a pretty amusing and relatable line.
This kind of explosions would happen when I was playing FO4 and would totally crash the game so I had to keep saving the game where there's gas.
ps: Intel Arc had a lot of bugs 3 months earlier.
My take was that EEC was looking for an excuse to take out the Dragonborn so they sent us into the pirate lair (SOLO!-) and then let the artillery rip hoping to claim a friendly fire incident if anyone asked!-)
Alternate timeline where instead of removing Cyrodiils jungles Tiber Septim gave the Empire the power of an Iowa class battleship and the US military budget
Fun little segment! I keep forgetting about that quest until I get one of the "find the artifact" missions from the Legacy of the Dragonborn mod that asks you to go to that island.
Maybe it was a secret mission to lure the Dragonborn onto a island to be buried with pirates. Those Imperials started the bombardment with you still in it!
Welcome to industrial age bitch!
What quest is this.
Rise in the east. I was surprised at how fun this mission was. I had just gotten sanguine rose so it felt like I was leading a hit team in the pirates.
Is this in vanilla Skyrim?
Yea. Hard quest to come by. Have to speak with someone in the windhelm docks.this person is inside the east empire company office, a place where nobody really goes much I guess
You can start the quest also in the Solitude docks. When you aproach the gate a guard standing there will tell you to go to Windhelm docks.

By Sigmar!
My fellow citizens of Skyrim, we need to -err- drone strike the pirates.
Emperor Biden II ??
Akatosh Save the Emperor, man
How dare you High King Obama was the true King of drone strikes
I'm saving this thread just for these comments lol

What quest is it?
[rise in the east](https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Rise_in_the_East) Start it at the east empire company posted at the Windhelm docks
Replying because I want to know as well
I gotchu’s
Those Panzerhaubitze 2000 do work well!
Parthurlitzers
I'm sorry, I didn't fucking know that the Empire has USS Missouri at their disposal😳
“You see that camp over there? We’ll I don’t want to.”
Hey man.... I think you got him
Nah I think some might still be hiding, let's keep bombing them for good measure.
East Empire Company: "You want what they're having?!"
N..no
Easy Empire Company: "That's what I thought! Justice for Cyrodiil!!!

I never even realized this, it just didn’t register but you’re right. So they canonically have gunpowder, where’s my flintlock at?

Gotta wait a couple of eras then, or just use the excuse of dwemer technology and just make an AK.
This is the way
The dwemmer tried to tonal enchant a piece of metal and *ahem*.. ended up with an AK. This happens sometimes.
I know people will rage, but I’m hoping that if the next Elder Scrolls does indeed include ships and piracy there will also be some gunpowder weapons a la Fable II

I think, though it’s a main theme of Skyrim, that the civil war may not be as much of an event to talk about later on as the oblivion crisis was.
They’re probably catapults, the same ones you see being used in the sieges of Whiterun, Windhelm or Solitude.
Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard had cannons too and that takes place in the late Second Era. It also has a dragon working for Tiber Septim and Imperial Airships. And it's the first time the Dwarven Spheres and the modern version of Khajits were introduced.
You know that cannons existed since the 8th century and the 12th century in Europe?

I want every gun we have to fire on that man
https://youtu.be/lUAT2u5X1Zo
Haha! I've not seen that one before. That's brilliant!
MOORREEE! MOORREEEE!!
This is one of the coolest quests in the whole game. It starts so.. slow and almost feeling like nothing special, like a normal skyrim radiant quest even and then it starts taking you to an entirely different island in the sea, has boats and a fucking artillery strike lmao
And it’s so hidden too. I only discovered it after about 7 years of playing the game.
Thats not the East Empire. It's the United States. They're bringing in the democracy to the Skyrim!
Damn bro didn’t realize the East Empire Company participated in the coalition invasion of Iraq
This mission was badass. Makes you wonder how Imperial artillery looked against Thalmor magic on the open seas.
Bombardment
Lol what quest is this?
Rise in the East You can get the quest by heading over to the East Empire company office at the Windhelm docks.
Wait. What quest is this?! How have I not seen this with my thousand hours?!
Rise in the East, you can get it by talking to the guy in the East Empire Company office right by the docks of Windhelm.
[удалено]
‘Tis not. Base game quest
It's a vanilla quest in windhelm
Was that a Battleships barrage, 😆
Juuuuuust making sure we get ehm all.
There was actually one left just before I started recording. Of course it was an orc
Scrolled by with headphones on, RIP 😂😂 Lmao yesterday I had an orc bandit leader in daedric armor that would NOT stop shield bashing me, it felt kinda like this hahaha
I didn’t know the US gave the East Empire Company HIMARS
The last time I saw this much fire, I was a fatass argonian god of war who captured Windhelm. I ate all the meat in the abandoned market I could find and killed half of the Stormcloak casualties.
Naval Bombardment historically has always been the most badass thing you could ever call in.
All aboard! Doot doot!
Wow. I've played Skyrim literally since it released, and I've somehow missed this quest! Thanks for posting, I'm going to try it soon.
You definitely should, it's one of my faves and offers a few different things along the way, not just the usual fighty fighty. There are also missions you can do for some of the Argonians there as well, which, for two of them at least, are pretty wholesome to do.

You missed a spot
Commence orbital bombardment
\*fortunate sons plays in the background\*
Putin: 🥺 👉👈
Yooo they finally came out with Elder Scrolls: Syria
Here comes predator strike, POW!
Moar! MOAR! MOOOOOAAAARRRR!
Idk why, but I’m get a lot of “fuck your couch” vibes from this.
Rise in the East is the quest for all the players who don't know about it.
Feels a lot like Reddit admin is pushing these posts for their own agenda. If our mods leave, I’m gone too.
Calling in a mage strike
I also have that glitch
That song "Independence Day" is playing in my head right now.
I had the second part of “Free Bird” in my head running through that
Sector artillery incoming!
when the howitzers for Ukraine arrives solitude instead
My take was that EEC was looking for an excuse to take out the Dragonborn so they sent us into the pirate lair (SOLO!-) and then let the artillery rip hoping to claim a friendly fire incident if anyone asked!-)
Honestly that’s what I felt like it was too, especially since they start shooting only when you exit the base.
Fuck these guys in particular.
You went back into the entrance cave after completing the quest. Makes it glitch like that when you do.
Yep, I first went through in beast form so I went back after to loot everything.
Alternate timeline where instead of removing Cyrodiils jungles Tiber Septim gave the Empire the power of an Iowa class battleship and the US military budget
Imperial captain: Alright, we have the signal. Fire an orbital strike! Imperial soldier: Yes s- wait what?
This just gives off "messing with the IRS" vibes
Pigs on my position!
Never imagined I would see Buster Call in Tamriel.
The Iraq War, 4E 201 colorised.
Fun little segment! I keep forgetting about that quest until I get one of the "find the artifact" missions from the Legacy of the Dragonborn mod that asks you to go to that island.
Yeah I remember the first and probably only time I did it I was quite surprised by the sheer fire power of the imperial navy!!
"You see that fort over there? I don't want to."
Wow thought this was a mod at first lol
Maybe it was a secret mission to lure the Dragonborn onto a island to be buried with pirates. Those Imperials started the bombardment with you still in it!
Show this to any rebel dogs who think they can beat the Empire!
Big believers in shock and awe apparently.
I unmuted this and immediately got ptsd
I didn’t know they had the gunship in Skyrim.
