3 for all three of the Dres bunch!!
!!!!
I always get mad at myself for not talking about them as often as I should.
3: Did they have a good childhood? What are fond memories they have of it? What’s a bad memory?
Saegis-If you ask Sage she’ll tell you her childhood was absolute shit. Being the eldest born of a Noble House put a lot of pressure on Sage. Many of her fond memories end up being with Narya, the two of them are only two years apart in age so were pretty much inseparable. The two of them used to spend hours together and would even have some of the same lessons. Saegis particularly looks fondly upon the times when she and Narya practiced magic together.
A proud moment for Saegis had to be when Sage was older and her mother, Vilya, had tried setting her up with the son of a wealthy landowner. Saegis retaliated by shaving her long hair into what Vilya referred to as “in the style of a dirty ashlander whore”. Because of the pretentious Tribunal-worshiping Dunmer attitude this put a lot of potential suitors off of her.
A bad memory would be hard to pinpoint. Again, Sage says living with her parents was absolute hell. When Vilya wasn’t trying to find Sage a good husband, she was constantly deriding everything Sage did.
Narya-A little more optimistic about things, Narya wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss how she and Sage grew up. She wouldn’t go ahead and say there was nothing wrong, but partly the reason she had it better was because Sage was constantly the one taking the brunt of their mothers ire. Narya was much older when Vilya turned her scrutinizing gaze to Narya.
A fond memory for Narya would have to be the first time her father, Avoneth, provided with her first set of oil paints. Narya always had an affinity for the arts, and she was able to escape into the canvas. Narya always seemed to be favored by Avoneth, and he thwarted near every chance that Vilya would try and set up Narya with a potential husband, as he thought they were never good enough.
A particularly horrible memory would have been on an outing with her family. Her mother and father wanted to survey their lands and the many slaves under their control. Narya got separated and stumbled upon an Argonian being whipped to death by a seer. Narya got in the middle and ended up taking a lash herself. Her parents were furious, and when her father held a sobbing Narya in his arms he essentially pulled a Seti from The Prince of Egypt
Narya never did look at her father the same way.
Moirrin-Moirrin was the exception. She was born ten years apart from Narya, and was treated as such. It was clear from the beginning that Moirrin was their mothers favorite. According to Moirrin her childhood was filled with luxury, and the only two things in her way were her older sisters.
A fond memory in Moirrins childhood would be the times her parents invited a suitor for Narya or Saegis to stay at their manor home. Moirrin reveled in how uncomfortable her sisters were. Moirrin grew up under the strict tutelage of Vilya, and in turn was extremely savvy in the Game and to a fault she was exceedingly charismatic even from a young age.
Any bad memories Moirrin would remember of her childhood were few and far between. Even when their father would get angry at Moirrins treatment of Narya, Moirrin would never seem to take it seriously. Moirrin was still young during the events of Morrowind, and much of that time they were on edge. After all it was Moirrin who had Narya put on the prison ship. A moment of true fear was when word got back to Tear that Narya had the Emperors pardon.
