    Her Voice quakes the very earth. Her armor chips the teeth of Dragons. Her arrows reach the heavens above. Her hammer splits mountains. Who is this warrior with the soul of a Dovah? To some she's a beast, to others she is blood-kin; but to her orc brethren, she's referred to as...

    The Outlander

    Backstory:
    The Reachmen, a wild people of primarily Breton descent, have become known for their bothersome fighting around the borders of Skyrim and High Rock. One such reachmen clan, the Winterborns, were devoted to fighting against the orc clans inhabiting the Wrothgarian Mountains in 2E 583. Though believed to be defeated, some clan members survived and continued their fight against the orcs for many years.
    Sometime around 4E 180, an orc hunting party stumbled upon one of the last remaining camps of the Winterborn clan and slaughtered all of the Reachmen there, except for one female child. One of the female orc hunters took pity on the little girl and returned her to their Stronghold. After a fierce argument with the chief of her tribe, the now mother of the child was granted permission to raise the young Breton in the stronghold
    Being raised as an orc, the Breton was trained in the arts of smithing, combat, and hunting; she excelled in these to such an extent that she was almost indistinguishable from an orc save her flaming blue eyes and fair brown skin.
    As an adult, the Breton enjoyed her life in Orsiniumn until it was sacked by the neighboring Redguards and Bretons in the early fourth era. She fought bravely to defend her city but to no avail. The Seventh and Fifteenth Imperial legion arrived to help escort orc survivors to Skyrim, and were rather perplexed to find a blood soaked, muscle ridden, Breton woman speaking the language of the orcs. The imperials convinced her to leave and head to one of the strongholds in Skyrim, to which she obliged. However, she did not expect to end up on a cart headed toward Helgen after attempting to cross the border...nor did she expect to be referred to as an "Outlander" by her Skyrim Orc kin...

    The Build

    The Outlander is essentially a beast-hunting, dragon-slaying, skull-crushing barbarian with a twist. Because the Orcs she was raised by value honor and combat prowess above all else, the Outlander is restricted by two rules:

    1. No magic (shouts are okay)

    2. No Potions (except purchased Blacksmith and Enchanting enhancers)

    These restrictions make any encounter exhillarating and will test the Outlander's combat prowess at every turn. To stay alive in combat, the Outlander makes use of forged and improved heavy armor, a large health pool, a large stamina pool, enchantmented armor, magic resistance/absorption, and various shouts. Using these aspects to her advantage, the Outlander will storm across Skyrim in search of new challenges that she may bring honor to her orc-kin...and fear to her enemies.

     

    Proving her worth to the Chief of Dushnikh Yal

    Race: Female Breton; Fits the backstory and their magic resistance + Dragonskin racial ability makes fighting dragons and mages much easier

    Stats: 0/3/1 Without the need for magicka, we can build a large health pool- an essential trait for a warrior with no way to regain health in combat

    Standing Stones: Steed- Being mobile in combat is impervious, this stone allows us to wear heavy armor and still stay light on our feet

    Atronach- Using the Aetherial Crown, the Outlander can toggle on 50% spell absorption at will. Because magic is not used, the stunted magicka regeneration does not matter

    ***Beyond Level 50***

    Always in search of challenges, the Outlander finds herself desiring to become skilled in all manners of combat. Hunting down more dragons and forging new arms, she begins training with one-handed weapons and a shield. Feel free to perk all of the Block and One-Handed perk trees as you become skilled in a new form of combat!
