"Folklore abounds about this flower found in the swamps of Hjaalmarch. Some stories claim it grows where unfortunate deaths have taken place, others insist it grows first and then lures unsuspecting people and animals to their doom. I have found no direct evidence to support these stories; indeed I found the flowers difficult to locate at all. While it is most well-known for it's use in poisons, it would be remiss to overlook that the blooms of the deathbell are very effective in mixtures for boosting ones Alchemy skill."

So I got Skyrim for Christmas last year, though didn't start playing it until a few months ago since I was focused on the Bioshock collection, and I have become obsessed with it. I'm still very new with Elder Scrolls, and my friend is a huge lifeline for me in making sure any lore I make for my characters fit. So far I've created three Dragonborns, whom I like to give fancy titles to since it's easier than giving them full names.

My first one is a Nord named Marci, the full title I've given her being Marcia the Wild. She was a fairly ordinary woman from Cyrodil, but has the personality of an ancient Greek hero. She does many good deeds and even has strict morals, but tends to be rather chaotic, and is not above doing criminal or amoral things on a whim. A good example is when she murdered Grelod the Kind in order to cure her vampirism before she even met Aventus Aretino, then when Astrid kidnapped her and offered her a spot in the Dark Brotherhood if she killed a hostage, she instead chose to kill Astrid and free the hostages, but then got irritated at one of them and killed her anyway.

She is a member of the Companions and is married to Farkas, she was a werewolf at one point and uses wolves as a symbol for herself, but cured herself of the Lycanthropy because she wasn't sure if she wanted to go to Hircine when she died. However she also keeps selling her soul to Daedra by pure accident.

One of my more recent Dovahkins is Bacchae, a dark elf from Morrowind. She was a prostitute in service to Sanguine, and doesn't necessarily regret that lifestyle, and traveled across Tamriel to spread worship of Sanguine, and offer her... "services," but when she tries to enter Skyrim and gets mistaken for a Stormcloak she's suddenly thrust into a hero status and discovers she's the Dragonborn.

She's new so I haven't progressed that much with her, but she's good friends with Faendal and he was her first follower, she'll join the Mage's College down the road, and she's probably my nicest Dragonborn so far, due to not being a total maniac. She'll also be the first one to meet Miraak, and will probably have a much closer tie to him than the others, who have their own shenanigans going on. Her title is Bacchae the Mystic Rose, for her magical inclinations and her connection to Sanguine.

Then there's Erato, my wood elf and the woman in the drawing. Unlike the others, this isn't her first adventure. She was once the Hero of Kvatch, the Listener in the Dark Brotherhood, and a good friend to Martin Septim. What all exactly happened with her during that era I'm not sure yet because I don't have Oblivion, but at the end of her journey, after watching many of those close to her die... She herself suffered the same. Someone close to a target she killed for the Brotherhood found her, and decided to make her pay. They killed her, trapping her in a soul gem, robbing her of the Void. But instead of using her like any ordinary soul gem, they chucked it into the river and crudely buried her body, seemingly dooming her to an endless limbo...

But not using her was the thing that saved her. 200 years later someone who wasn't fond of soul gems and the cruelty of trapping a soul discovered the gem washed up, and took it, managing to free Erato's soul which returned to her now horridly decomposed body. Akatosh took notice of this, and deciding an experienced hero would be useful for him, bestowed her a gift... He made her a Dragonborn, which restored her body to it's original condition, though she did visit the Face Sculptor down the road in order to fix it even more. The only thing that even hints she was once dead, are her once blood red eyes now a bright unearthly silver.

She entered Skyrim, like the others mistaken for a Stormcloak rebel and almost killed again, and only learned exactly what Akatosh had done later when she absorbed her first dragon soul. In her journeys she met Aventus Aretino, and agreed to kill Grelod for him. She found herself a part of the Dark Brotherhood again, reunited with Lucien as the Spectral Assassin, and was at odds with Astrid due to her disdain for the traditional ways, and Erato being from the traditional ways. But as she suffered through two sanctuaries falling, and her encounter with the Emperor touching her in a way she didn't expect, she now almost sees Astrid's point, and has become tired of the Night Mother and the life of a killer. She won't outright betray the Brotherhood, and she certainly won't be mentioning any of her feelings to Lucien's spirit, but has started to distance herself from it, and her loyalties are now shifting to the people of Skyrim.

During the Oblivion Crisis she was compared to a fox, but now in Skyrim she earns the title Erato the Deathbell, for she is both the bringer of horrible fates, but also the victim of a horrible fate herself.
