    This is a new story I'm planning which is something different. Most of it will not be set in Skyrim; rather in a player made new lands mod which I don't think has been done before. So far I have the prologue and first chapter written and I will be adding chapters every couple of weeks or so. 

    If you want to read my previous story which is about one of the secondary characters, Ji'Arsha please see my other tale 'the unwelcome foreigner from the south' which is a short story and leads into this one.

    Ill come back and update this index page as I go along depending on how I go with the story.

    So here's the intro:-

    The Traveller from the Marsh

    This story is set several months after the events of the Dragonborn add-on. It is based on my play through where I played as an Argonian Dragonborn and later during a second play through as a non dragonborn character. It may not be 100% lore friendly but I will try to keep to the correct timeline where I can.

    Main Character

    Han-Ei / Slays-Many-Elves – The main character of this story. Han-Ei is a red Argonian who lives in Riften working as a mercenary and general adventurer. Like Teekus he specializes in heavy armour but favours two handed weapons. He has no magic skills at all and has no interest in learning any. He stands well over 6 feet tall and is very heavily muscled. He is also the thane of Riften and most citizens fear him. He often uses his size and status to intimidate others so that he can get his own way. He does not have many morals and in some way can be considered an evil character. Despite this he became a companion of the dragonborn.

    Secondary Characters

    Teekus – green skinned Argonian, dragonborn warrior-mage specializing in heavy armour and one handed weapons. His magic skills are well above average and he briefly studied at the mages college. He lives in Solitude and is married to Shahvee where now that the war is over he mostly makes a living from mercenary work and his side craft as a blacksmith. By the time of this story he has become skilled in his work and has become the Thane of Solitude. His morals are on the good side and he's pleasant towards other people although he has a foul temper and many of Solitude's citizens keep a wide berth.

    Ji' Arsha – Khajiit who came to Skyrim and eventually settled in Winterhold at the mages college. He studied for 2 years and now has to leave Skyrim and head to Hammerfell. He had become friends with Han-Ei / Slays-Many-Elves in the past. He lacked confidence when he first came to Skyrim and was viewed as an outcast. Now that he has become a highly skilled mage he has gained respect at least amongst mages anyway. His alignment is neutral as due to his nature he remains a thief and prefers assassination tasks where he will kill more or less anyone for money.

    Saliith the Sage – Argonian of unknown origin who came to Solitude and became a replacement housecarl and steward for Teekus. He's skilled in both magic and one handed combat and will only use his own sword 'sword of the Sage' rather than other weapons. He is a loyal companion of the Dragonborn and lives in the Manor house with Teekus in the housecarl quarters.

    The story begins in Solitude and will feature travelling to new lands which to my knowledge have not been written about before.
