CHAPTER 1

Returning from his latest contract, the dunmer Tarcoth had just walked into the doors of the cheidynhal sanctuary when he was greeted by a wood elf named Juliana."Juliana, how are you?" " I'm fine." She smiled. "I got a letter for you."She handed the letter to Tarcoth. He just stared at it puzzled. "Who's it from?" "I don't know. Mistress Aushra just told me to give it to you." Tarcoth put the letter in his pocket. " Well, we should probably get back to our tasks. Take care dear sister." "You to brother."Five minutes later, Tarcoth was sitting in the training room reading wolf queen, when he was greeted by Ashura. " Welcome back dear brother, I heard your contract went well. I came to congratulate you on a job well done and give you your earnings." She reached behind her back and pulled out a medium sized coin purse, and handed it to Tarcoth. He grabbed the purse and placed it on the barrel beside him. Then he looked back at Ashura. "Mistress Ashura, can you tell me you gave you this letter?" She smiled at Tarcoth. " Why don't you read it and find out?" When Ashura left the room, Tarcoth opened the letter. Inside the letter read:

we are pleased with your progress in the sanctuary

and your serviceto sithis. Come to fort Faragut alone.

Tarcoth's eyes widened. He knew what this letter meant...

The black hand is in need of his services
