Ok not a real chapter more of a detailed back story to not only introduce my OC but a few changes to the lore of Elder scrolls to make it a bit easier to type. These changes will not only work in this fanfic but in any other Elder scrolls fanfics i write in the future.

First off, several potions or spells being removed. The ones that increase Archery or sneak or things like that being removed. Things that increase stamina stayes but works more like an energy drink (drink one and go from dead tired to back to peak form like got very good night sleep. The potions of healing heal wounds (the bigger the bottle the better wounds it heals) Things that deal with magica affects how the spells are cast.

As for the carry wieght system...this is more of a logical explination to how it could work in the game, Basically...the satchels, or fanny packs on the armors are enchanted with spell to shrink items down to a tiny size and fit in the pack...BUT doesnt change the wieght of the item (so a 10 pound sword would shrink to size of toothpick but still wiegh 10 pounds) however...Gold and arrows in my AU will still remain weightless

Magica... works like an energy that the body uses to cast spells without gettin hurt by rebound effect, the higher the magica the more energy that can flow through the body (like weight lifting, the more you lift the more the body gets used to the weight resulting in being able to lift more and more)

OK its OC time

This story takes place 20 years AFTER the main questline of Skyrim (Helgen got destroyed) ignoring the DLCs and little side quests (companions, and others) The dragonborn (whatever charactor you readers build) finds a journal in the Thalmor embassy saying that they are controlling both sides (This IS true, Me and my wife-who both play and beat this game- have found this journal) And decided to show this to the jarls and the visiting emporer. This causes all of Tamriel to go back to war with the High elves leading them to surrender and forge a new treaty, allowing the worship of Talos. This also is when the rulers in Tamrial write new laws banning the treatment of non-human species (obviously some people still prejudice), this also pretty much opens most borders to everyone. With the civil war over, Helgen gets rebuilt slowly and merchants and traders travel all over buying, selling, or simply transporting supplies to areas that need or want them.

This is pretty much them meeting, becoming friends and partners. And maybe something more should i feel the urge to make it romantic but should mainly just be their (mis)-adventures across Tamriel

OC time

Caius-Imperial male 25 years old, was just a small boy living in Helgen when it was first attacked, Travels all over transporting good to various cities all over Skryim and Tamriel. Earned quite the reputation as an honest merchant. Always helping those in need, not afriad to get dirty or explore. Has training in swordsmanship and some archery

Raahni-Female Khajitt 22 years old, was very little during the Civil war. Parents both killed over a misunderstanding by stormcloak soldiers, her and her younger brother Shaar were both raised by a passer-by Vald-who took them and raised them in Cyrodill all their life...As a result they dont speak with a Khajiit accent nor do they have any of the mannerisms (AE- they dont steal and they have a concept of ownership). Has experience in Magic and really good with a bow. Hates biases.

Shaar- Male khajiit 21 years old same as Raahni, only very little combat training, can use a sword, was trained to be a blacksmith. Loves a challenge.

So there ya go this is my next work in progress. Hopfully uploading a chapter every week or so till i get better at it.

My PM box is open, Im up for any thoughts, ideas, reviews (good or bad) and ill see ya all when i upload the real chapter 1

till then -Fyrewolf-
