    The problem I have is that the Ranger will then have to accept that the Daedra become part of his life. Especially Hiricine. One of the fundamental laws of the Rangers will then be ignored. Perhaps the Ranger can "fall" into the darkness where he still does the things the Rangers normally do, but with unconventional methods. One way to symbolize this is to change to a crossbow and primarily use those explosive rounds. This way you can also use Daedric weaponry if you are willing to invest in those perks. Finally you can also begin to use the more sadistic and destructive shouts, instead of the buffing. The Dark Brotherhood will be a good start to find Marked for Death.

    Hmm then I'll do it late game to get the sort of fallen hero type of feel , but I feel like vampirism suits your idea more . And what do you mean by daedric weaponry?

    No worries, I would not necessarily take it to the fallen hero's way, more to a darker version of the Ranger. Start using manipulating magic (illusion FTW!) and establishing Daedric alliances. I am pretty curious how it will turn out. I have a build coming up where infection will have a major role to play in. I am still figuring out how to write it down and the play test fase is still going on, but I am getting there. The Swordmaiden is coming to the blog within a few weeks. Prepare for some frantic one handed unarmored combat on the front lines!

    Just had an idea, why not incorporate necromancy as a way to "preserve" nature and its beings by reanimating animals ?that would fit great and would you like to hear back from me after I finish this play though?

    How do you get this mod on Xbox? Being a fellow Xbox player I would love to do that so I can play this build more immersively.

    I have no idea how I've missed this build but it is honestly one of my favorites. The lore and backstory attached to this character add so much to the total package. A Dance In Fire is one of my favorite book series since Morrowind. There are so many things that make sense now after reading about the bosmer associated with your build's description. Some crazy lore I've overlooked! Awesome build, man.
