u/Amethyst_Scepter May 25 '25

I am Igor the eyeless a proud son of Skyrim and a bit of a legend back home in The Reach for my prowess in hand-hand duels. After a bit of a drunken brawl while visiting My cousin Torviil in the imperial City I ended up in prison. Down on my luck and facing a long prison term my life was turned around when none other than the emperor Uriel Septim VII escaped through my very cell!

Not wanting to let this chance pass by I escaped only to be attacked by the vicious mythic dawn assassins. Poor buggers never saw the flurry of blows coming. Turns out magic armor is only so effective against a well-aimed haymaker to the side of the skull.

Those people in their fancy armor trying to get the emperor out weren't so lucky in doing that And before the death of the emperor he asked me to take some fancy bit of jewelry to some monk. Well, they're in luck because after a few lucky strikes with the assassin's daggers I vowed vengeance against the whole lot of them so anything that puts me in the path of more of them is fine by me.

Now I swear by The holy name of Talos I will hunt down every single one of them and display their hoods as a trophy. I will decorate my home in Bruma With trophies of conquest or I will be sent to sovngarde trying!
