Part I: The Story
The God of War and the God of Peace have had a very brutal arguement recently, in fact it was so brutal the God of War ended up destroying the kingdom of Ironfell, causing angry survivors from Ironfell to rally against the God of War with help from the God of Peace, while, in the meantime supporters of the God of War from the kingdom of Winterhold have rallied against the God of Peace, the world is torn apart by a primeval war between War (Winterhold) and Peace (Ironfell).

Atrributes
the six attributes strength, eyesight, intelligence, agility, divinity, and armour determine certain things:
Strength determines if you can break a door, how damaging your melee attack is, and so forth, it is crucial for the warrior class.
Eyesight determines how well you can see things, if your arrow hits or not, and if it hits, how damaging is it, it is crucial for the bowman class.
Intelligence determines how smart you are, how knowledgeable are you with the arcane arts, and so forth, it is crucial for the wizard class.
Agility determines well, your agility, can you dodge an attack, and so forth, it is crucial for the rogue class.
Divinity determines how much proficiency you have with the religious and divine arts and practices, it is crucial for the priest class.
Armour determines how tough you are, how much an attack damages you, and so forth, it isn't particularly fitting for any class, but is quite useful for warriors.
Everyone starts with 1 of each attribute and has 6 points to spread among their attributes, increasing an atrribute by X requires X attribute points, you can also lower eyesight and divinity to 0, you gain one attribute point per every attribute lowered to 0.
