Never stand between a woman and her Mehrunes‘ razor.

Adventurers occasionally return home with tales of strange beings lurking around the wilds of Tamriel or in places that ancient races constructed. The creatures that they describe do not fit into any category of what scholars know to be atronoch - for no creatures in known texts that are made of stone are not powered by the forces of magic and can also move, talk, and act with sapient intelligence.

My theory is that these beings could be an unknown species, lost to time like the Dwemer, that have resurfaced with the resurrection of the dragons. I will have to collect some coin, and try to seek out a place of sightings to try and uncover extra information so this mystery of the ‘Stonefolk’ can be explored further...

The Metharoms are all low-born Dunmer from Telvanni lands.

Talward is a priest of the Tribunal Temple, specifically devoted to Sotha Sil. He's pretty popular with the Telvanni magisters because his definition of being pious and devoted to Sotha Sil includes the vicious pursuit of knowledge. All for the greater good, of course. As a hobby, he's into excavating Dwemer ruins, even though their works can never compare with the works of the Clockmaker himself blah blah he's not saying it's Dwemer, but DWEMER.

Salune is actually a Telvanni mage who is actually good at playing the game. She's backstabbed her way to a pretty high position, probably a Mouth or something by now, and if not a Mout, then soon to be a Mouth.

Kalri is a mercenary who currently works as a bodyguard for her sister. Salune lets her do other jobs, and doesn't perform experiments on her, which is more than a lot of her potential employers can say.

Salune may or may not have made a deal with Molag Bal that went horribly awry that resulted in her, her brother and sister getting their souls taken away. Talward is justifiably upset by this, and is also horrified that his sister would deal with one of the House of Troubles. (SOTHA SIL WILL SAVE YOUR SOUL NOT EAT IT) So then Kalri has to convince them that they all have to work together to fix this problem before it gets way out of hand. She might end up in the Companions if they're letting elves in at this point, just as a big ol' fuck you to the world.

The Sadow/Septims are Altmer of the famous Direnni clan.

Kleskizhae's the unfavorite in this universe because he is a nutcase who runs around, trying to reclaim the ancient legacy of his clan by being a great and glorious warrior and hero who's going to reconquer their lost lands in High Rock but ends up in practice just running around Tamriel, whacking things with a giant sword alongside some woodland barbarian Bosmer chick.

Kaad is a "diplomat", and gave up his reputation and his lineage to better serve the Dominion through "diplomacy", which done the Altmer way, involves a lot of disintegrations and a lot of spying. He constantly bemoans his lost honor, but the truth is that he's really, really good at what he does. There's a fair chance that he'll actually make it to the 4th Era and end up pretty high ranked in the newly reformed Thalmor because he bade his time through the 3rd Era, always waiting, always ready, always complaining.

The Fiiors are Orcs from Buttfuck Ornisium.

Humility is a Knight for one of the noble Daggerfall Pact families, and believes that eventually people'll leave his people alone if they prove themselves sufficiently honorable.

Generosity thinks that Humility is a giant sell out for this, and is a freelance mercenary, making mad cash, just like an orc should be!
