Iron-Scales (Argonian) and  Cinder-Tail (Khajiit)  Beast Race Followers

     First encountering one another in competition for coin years ago, the rival mercenaries found themselves forced into an uneasy partnership through a joint contract. After barely escaping the job with their lives, the cold-blooded Argonian and the fiery-tempered Khajiit discovered a new-found respect in each other as men and warriors, forming an unbreakable bond. As brothers, the two travel together, perfecting their skills in combat and searching for the meaning of true strength. Their quest has led them to the frozen north, where the conflict-ridden land of Skyrim promises opportunity of honor and gold. But recent rumors of the Dragonborn have sparked an even greater interest . . . Written by HelloNeko
