Before I even start I want to apologize for two things:
1) That this first part is very long and I'm not even mentioned in it yet
2) That it will be long, at least short story length (Don't worry, they'll all be added as edits to this thread later)
Part One
South of Riverhold in northern Elsweyr there sits a small village called Eiha. Eiha, having no natural resources around for its citizens to harvest and sell, was home to but a few families of poor Khajiit who had little marketable skills and could find nowhere else to live. But there was one Khajiit in Eiha who was exceptional in what he did, this Khajiit sold his craft in nearby Riverhold and then used his earnings to provide for the village. This Khajiit was called Fa'der, and his skill was enchantment.
Fa’der loved the villagers in his care and would do anything to help them survive. The villagers were not ungrateful and each day they would send a small group out to search for things for Fa’der to enchant and sell. Fa’der loved enchanting, the villagers loved helping, and all was well in Eiha.
One day a Khajiit named Zan’ar was walking by the home of Fa’der and noticed how aged he looked. Zan’ar realized, as had others, that Fa’der would soon be too old to care for the village. Zan’ar was worried, with Fa’der gone the village would surely die. Zan’ar came to a conclusion; he would learn from Fa’der how to enchant so that once Fa’der died the village could still survive.
Fa’der agreed to try and teach Zan’ar how to enchant, but warned him that not all Khajiit could perfect or even use magic. This did not dissuade Zan’ar and he began visiting Fa’der every day to learn all that he could. However, after many weeks Zan’ar realized that Fa’der was right; magic was very difficult for him and what enchantments he could perform would most certainly earn little to nothing for the village.
Zan’ar and Fa’der were saddened as they both knew that without someone to provide for the village, the people Fa’der cared so greatly for would surely starve. Fa’der decided to take a chance, he told Zan’ar of a book, blessed by Hermaeus Mora, which would allow the user to enchant anything flawlessly. Fa’der knew that the gifts of daedric princes were never without their price, but both Zan’ar and Fa’der were willing to take that chance for their village.
Only Zan’ar left in search of the book, for Fa’der was too old and frail to make the journey. For many days the village waited in anticipation for the return of Zan’ar. After a week had passed old Fa’der began to feel he had sent Zan’ar to his death, and when two more weeks passed Fa’der was sure Zan’ar had died. This guilt weighed on him heavily and, after falling into a deep depression over what he had done, Fa’der died.
Twelve days after Fa’der was burried Zan’ar returned, bringing with him a large black book bound in thick leather and coated with daedric markings.
