Khaleesi Nightshade
19 yrs old
Dunmer (Dark Elf) Nightblade
She has white eyes somehow escaping the long time curse of the Daedra Azura. She learned as a child most races do not easily except her into the Dominion but she was taught never to discriminate against them for their ignorance.
Rumor: She is not like most Dunmer, She normally has a sunny disposition. Its whispered that she was raised by a Bosmer huntsman who brought her back with him from Port Telvannis when she was but a toddler.
Still a child in the eyes of most elves Khaleesi left her second home in hopes of answers.
At an early age she was taken from her home among the House Telvanni Dunmers. She never did remember much from that time. A Bosmer hunter she later learned to love as a father took her from her grandmother and crossed the Padomaic Ocean. Once there she was taken to a small village in the thick of Valenwood. There she grew up as a member of a small family learning the ways of the Bosmer.
She quickly learned to ways of a silent hunter and became skilled with stealth and daggers. She became a natural at sticking to the shadows and not being seen unless wanted too.
One winter during a routine hunting trip she was out with her family when they were ambushed by a pack of goblins, her father fought most of them off but was mortally stabbed during the fight. They immediately rushed him back to the safety of the village. During the last moments of his life he told Khaleesi that the time to know the truth was upon her. With his last breaths he directed her to follow his instructions to find a cache he hid out in the Valenwood and there she would find some answers.
Several days later after she had seen to his final resting and had enough time to process her loss she remembered his last words and set out to find this place. It took her 2 days to find the hiding place much of the woods where over grown and forgotten here. She didn't know what to expect but she found but a small chest with a letter and Dunmer odds and ends. The letter had a seal on it she was not familiar with, her name written on the envelope in such dainty penmen-ship. She sat against the tree and opened the letter.
My Dearest Khaleesi,
If you are reading this I am afraid it is too late. I am either gone or have befallen a fate worse than death. I left you with your grandmother with instructions that she must get you out of Morrowwind. This letter was supposed to be left with your case taker whoever it may be. I know you have answers sweet child but you must not seek them out. I gave you away so you would not grow up with such hate and distrust in your heart. The Dunmer are a very proud people but blind to the coming fate if we do not change our ways. My wish for you is to grow old and never know the hate and fear that I have come to know as second nature. I gave you up to save you from my fate. Having to be sustained from other living beings is no way for anyone to live. Please know that you are much loved, your father and I would gladly trade our life’s to keep you safe if that was an option. I love you forever my daughter.
Love always
Mother.
Khaleesi read this letter over and over only to have more questions than ever. Was this some riddle there were no answers in this letter. It was very cryptic, living being, sustained, and signed simply mother, who was she what was her name, and what of her father there was no mention of him at all.
Among the rest of the babbles in the chest was a seal with the name Nightshade on it, she turned it over to reveal a list of names.
Menolly Nightshade – Tellal Nighshade
{Lorelai Nightshade - unkown} {Shai Nightshade – Daval R’ain}
{Khaleesi Nightshade} {Azura R’ain}
She couldn’t believe what she saw; could this be a partial family tree? And if it was who is her father and could she find the rest of her family to get more answers?
She returned to her village to say her goodbyes and gather her pack to set out and find answers to who her family were and more about her Dunmer heritage.
