My character is a Dunmer named Xalyas Ilyrion. He was born in Morrowind, year 4E 165. His story starts on the ash-covered shores of Vvardenfell, in a small Dunmer camp. His mother was a member of House Telvanni, his father a soldier, stationed in Mournhold. He lived in that camp with his mother, barely scraping by to survive. It was 10 years later that he saw his mother dead in the camp, killed by Reavers. After that, he set out into the world, only having tattered robes and a small dagger to protect himself. After a year of travelling, in 4E 176, he reached Skyrim. Seeing how cold it was, he continued his journey for another year, eventually reaching Cyrodiil. There, he found the town of Bruma, where he was taken in by a kindly Nord family, who he lived with in peace and prosper for the next 20 years. The father in the family, named Sarrod Snow-Storm, was an experienced fighter, and he trained Xalyas for battle as days passed. One day, to test him, he took the young Dunmer to the woods, where they stumbled upon two Ogres sitting around a fire. He and Sarrod both charged in, but one of the Ogres overwhelmed Sarrod, killing him. Driven by anger, Xalyas took Sarrod's warhammer and charged in to kill the Ogres. He swung the hammer as hard as he could, breaking one of the Ogres' legs. The Ogre fell to the ground, a chance for Xalyas to hit him right in the head and kill him. The other Ogre was now a problem, but Xalyas took his old bow, given to him by his father, and shot the Ogre right in the heart, killing him. He then took the heads of the Ogres and ventured back to Bruma. He knew he couldn't stay in Bruma, so he broght the heads to the Nord family, and told them what happened. After, he traveled north. It was 4E 200 now. He was crossing the border to Skyrim, just at the break of the new year, 201. There, he was ambushed by some Imperial soldiers, who then arrested him and put him in a carriage along with a few other prisoners. They reached the small village of Helgen, where they were to be executed. Just when Xalyas was about to be executed, a dragon attacks... That's my character's backstory.
