Where do I find all non-daedric artifacts? I know that the Amulet of Kings is available at Sancre Tor (or was it?)... What about the Jagged Crown? Also are there any other artifacts searchable by Steward?
 
Some bloodlines can be gained through the Forge a Bloodline ambition.
Some are gained through rare events (like the Blood of Alexander) or completing certain tasks.
Existing bloodlines can be gained by marrying in to them.

See here: https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/Bloodline#Gaining_a_bloodline

That would be true for Vanilla but for now I believe there is only one bloodline in EK that you can create (Divine bloodline or something) by creating the Empire of Tamriel. Any other bloodline you'd have to start with.
 
How do you obtain bloodlines without starting with one?
Basically you have to matrilineally marry those that have them. I think there is only one or two bloodlines that pass through females without matrimarrying.

AFAIK this means there's no way for those without matrimarrying (Malacath, merchant republics) from ever getting a bloodline (unless you forge the divine/Talos bloodline, which I think requires you to be Eight Divines).

Sorry, didn't notice which thread I was in - thought this was the Questions and Answers thread in the main CK2 forum.

Anyone...?

Also, how do you become a dragonborn? Without console commands and Daedric invasions...? Would really want to avoid waiting for several hundred years for a chance to play as one... My current ruler is Genius and has a Strong Genius male heir... Would appreciate any insight on how to make him dragonborn...

I'm pretty sure I've seen Republics inherited by females in EK so it should be possible to matrimarry.
 
What are the specific requirements of forming the empire of tamriel? Looking at the files I guess I need to complely control 3 kingdoms in tamriel, what else? Can I form it if I somehow got elected as the Cyrodilic Emperor?

The Amulet can be found in a number of ways, including the ambition to find it, which gives a small chance for event chains to try and find/be offered the Amulet, and sending your steward to survey Sancre Tor. There's no non-console way to force a character to become Dragonborn. Certain characters are born with a latent potential, with player characters having a higher than average one, and when a Dragonborn is needed or (very rarely) at random, a character with such potential will be selected to be Dragonborn.

EDIT: The Jagged Crown cannot yet be found.

If elected emperor of Cyrodiil, you will still be able to form Tamriel. So long as you hold 3 of the provincial kingdom titles, you don't actually need to completely control the provinces. You must also have a special claim on the Empire from either possessing the Amulet of Kings, having an actual claim on Tamriel (if it existed in the past and has since collapsed), have one of either the Reman, Tiber, Divine, or Hidellith bloodlines, or be descended from a Dragonborn.

While only 3 provinces are needed to form the Empire, it's advisable to wait until you have more under your belt, as only those province which you de facto control will become a de jure part of the Empire.

So what is the console command way? :D I guess a game rule can be introduced to allow players to become dragonborn one time, either by MTTH or by decision... I guess most of the EK player base came from TES games and thus hope to play as dragonborn at some point...? :D

Good to know, thanks!

Are there no more obtainable non Daedric artefacts? :D

How does one trigger the ambition? I currently own Sancre Tor, parked steward there for years but got nothing...

EDIT: Is there some mechanic that helps a human character to emulate what Tiber Septim did by conquering Tamriel? Defensive Pacts are annoying and I'd like to keep them but the fact that there are numerous independent rulers makes a short war impossible, it doesn't help that CK2 doesn't have the peace deal system like EU4... Or do I have to disable the pacts temporary...?

The steward can take a very long time to find the Amulet. The more competent and less cowardly the steward, the more likely they are to find it. The requirements for taking the ambition are:
  • An adult
  • Not already in possession of the Amulet
  • No-one else is in possession of the Amulet
  • Either an Emperor or holder of one of the provincial kingdoms
  • The Empire of Tamriel does not currently have a holder (going to look into adding an exception if you currently are the Emperor of Tamriel)
  • One of either Eight Divines, Nine Divines, or Alik'r
  • Not infirm, incapable, or slothful
  • Dragonborn, dragonblood, ambitious, envion, or ruthless
  • Prestige of at least 500

Generally speaking, the warlord casus belli is the best way of taking large swathes or land (with the slight drawback of generally causing a coalition of enemies to join even without threat).

Yea thats what I did, guess time to turn off defensive pacts...

Good to know, thanks... Also how can I make myself dragonborn? I mean with console command....

It was either "event dragonborn.1" or "event dragonborn.0", write either of those in the console and you'll be made a proper dragonborn. At least that's how it worked pre-Holy Fury, no idea how it works now.
