    I really love this build, and I look foward to the upcoming contest judging it will be very close between your build and ours. +1

    Really want to see who wins between you and Mora's Disciple. May the best elf magic-user win! Also, like the build but don't like Altmer. Sorry.

    Nice build but I have on question. Dawnguard or Vampires?

    Good call. Edited it in now.

    I personally chose to side with the Volkihar Clan, but cured Vampirism after I had completed the questline. The Highborn has no interest in becoming a Vampire, however there are many advantages of joining the clan, such as obtaining the Ring of the Erudite which makes a good late-game ring.

    The Dawnguard do not benefit the Highborn as much, because most of the unique artefacts are more tuned to a warrior type character. The main reason to join the Dawnguard would be for Sun spells, which cost much less magicka than destruction spells and deal extra damage to the undead.

    All images have been restored for this build. While I try my best to keep the formatting as close to the original as possible, there are some unavoidable differences as a result of differing platforms... for this I apologize.

    Also, please feel free to remove the 'Restored' banner at the end of the build--I put it there as a courtesy to let the reader know that the build has been worked on by somebody other than its original creator without his or her knowlege.
