📋 About This Mod
LevZqECo5Wk c5REKJhiaEU Video by Hodilton Video by Saiodin \"Through the many ages in the realm of Tamriel innumerable noble lines were lost, many a powerful family seeing that great power they held ebb away and the deeds they had done nearly forgotten. Many had fallen prey to rivals, treachery from within, rebellion, each trying to hold that power through marriages, hostages held to keep a less trusted ally in check and a war of subterfuge playing out under the noses of most inhabitants of the lands, happening in the shadows as it did. This world was the one in which Dawn has lived since she was but a child when her mother Tysha had left her in the care of Jarl Balgruf. Her mother was a skilled warrior and claimed to be a descendant of the line of a nordic king, with no one recognizing her as such she set out to search for something to prove she was of a noble line, searching for the king lost to the wild hunt leaving her daughter behind to spare her from the dangers of her path. It has been seventy two seasons since Dawn last saw her mother\'s strong face, something she calculated in her moments of boredom among the Jarl\'s court. Though she is cared for she is also essentially a political hostage, held in Whiterun in case her mother returns to claim what her line has lost. In her many years in the city Dawn kept away from most, finding quiet spots to train with a blade or to write in her journal. As she got older a kind city guard help her train by sparring with her, he could not deny that she was a natural with a blade as her mother was, she had the same fire in her. Years after that she now waits for someone with which to venture into the lands, to seek out her mother and her lost line, following a path grown cold but with whispers of a fierce warrior fitting the description of her mother.\" DAWN\'s tale by Kamikazekossori and some details by me...
