[1] Faenil would go back to Summerset if it was at all possible, even if life over there objectively sucks way more. They don't just hate the cold but this is like setting a lifelong prisoner loose and expecting them to know how to live in the real world. [2] I mostly just chose Cloudrest as the point of origin because it was cool, I mean who doesn't love gryphons, but there's also the Faculty of Chirurgeons where I'd imagine Faenil returned to study at a few times. Faenil lived in Alinor most of their life tho. [3] Faenil's dad was some Sapiarch that really wanted the weird child to become his apprentice in some kind of Daedra studies, that's why Faenil is so skilled in conjuration too. Fortunately this wasn't their passion and they went to study restoration instead, but it took some convincing. [4] I don't think there was a particular moment other than that the opportunity for crime just rose at some point and it ended up being lucrative. Faenil was always fueled by spite from flesh magic being mostly discouraged, and they always had this complex around getting away with things others wouldn't. There was also the skooma... Of course they regret it later. [5] I headcanon altmer around 240cm tall on average, 210cm at the shortest and 270cm at the tallest. Faenil is at 280cm, which is very unacceptable. I don't know what this is in burger measurements, but I'd say at least four washing machines tall.

I'm glad you are interested in the comic BTW. This started out as a "what if the dragonborn was straight up awful" idea until I realized there's a lot to unpack there and could work for my first webcomic project before I move on to make my original stuff. And BTW I will not make a single penny out of it since it's fanfiction and I consider it a good thing, I'd rather not think about a market with this one. It will be completely free for anyone to read.
