    What friezi said. I started playing this build but stopped when I got the ebony blade and started betraying people. Made the mistake of approaching this like neutral/good character so when I got to that part it felt off. Defintely going to give it another run at a later date because its a super fun build to play with

    I love to see that stupid redguard philosophy about enchanting, illusion, and necromancy gone!! I'm got a big fan of the no cost reduction perks though, +1 anyway

    Thanks Akatosh. This is a fun stray away from Redguard stereotypes.

    I never managed to play a redguard who had something special, but this is more than special! I love builds that have some obvious weak point or restriction. +1

    I don't know why I haven't commented on this before, I guess the implication of the Like Button's "good job dude, well done" seemed enough at the time. Now I'm sucking up Redguard lore like a Khajiit drinks skooma, I find the need to comment.

    Unfortunately my comment amounts to little more than "good job dude, well done" so maybe I'm wasting your time. However, I do like the organic way The Ebony Blade is incorporated into this build both in terms of roleplay and gameplay. Very cool.

    This build is along the lines of a character I built not too long ago. The difference is that mine isn't using the magics that the Redguards would disapprove of. My character felt that during the war, Hammerfell suffered far more than it should have by being ill-prepared to combat magic. He likewise wanted to try and restore the Sword Singers. He is focused on Restoration (healing, wards and combating the undead), Conjuration (to combat summoned creatures and conjuring bound weapons) and Alteration (for shields and magic resistance, amongst other things).

    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.
