A recommendation is link your line to the dawn and dusk, seeing how Azurah(Khajiit spelling) is massively important.

How could I fake a murder?  Could I use a combination of Alchemy and Illusion to make it look like somebody was killed?  I know in Oblivion there was a dagger used in the Dark Brotherhood questline that was used to fake the death of someone. Could I do something similar?

Well, no one knows, do they? Maybe they did, maybe they didn't.

It's your lore, Shor. There's no proof saying they didn't, and I would be intrested to hear why you think they could be :)

So, ever since installing Familiar Faces, I've had this crazy idea of doing a story arc for my blog (after the current one's done, of course), which involves an evil clone of the protagonist from an alternate universe [CLICHE INTENSIFIES]. Problem is, I can't seem to find an in-universe and lore-friendly way of incorporating clones. Any ideas, Story Corner?

Possibly something Dwemer related? Also with necromancy we have seen the shade of people when they die, so maybe as a clone there is your character's shade and then the original character.

The shade? I'm not familiar with it, may I have some details? Also, if you joined the Story Corner just so you could answer my question, I am flattered.
