Chapter 0 - Prologue

This is the story of a man who went down in the history of Tamriel as a hero whose legends are still told to this day. The man who did good for the whole world that is Nirn, starting his heroic Chronicles in the cold province of Tamriel, known as Skyrim.

This man is known as Feigi Garson.

Feigi was born of an Imperial mother and a Dragon father - a Gold Dragon who assumed a human form. And whereas Gold Dragons are known to love shapeshifting, Feigi's father Dremyvonzin -or, as the father prefers, Gar the Gold- was exceptionally good at it: his physiology actually became that of which he assumed form.

However, where exactly in Cyrodiil Feigi was born is still unknown to everyone - including himself.

When Feigi was born, his draconic appearance did startle his parents at first. However, they immediately set the shock aside, and raised him with the love he deserved.

When Feigi was ten years old, his mother -a now-fomer Moth Priest- received a letter from Emperor Titus Mede II to summon her to the White Tower once again. The Emperor required her skills to read one last Elder Scroll.

...one that prophecied the destruction of Nirn...

She obeyed this summoning, and read the scroll. She saw humans clad in the armors of what are known as Imperial and Stormcloak Soldiers. And among them, she saw her son. Standing firm, as a ray of hope in this dark age.

After that, however, she lost focus of the reading. The consequence of this was the loss of her vision.

When the Emperor asked her what she's seen, she lied to him.

"I apologize, my Emperor. But I saw nothing... my... my reading is not what it used to be..."

She told her this lie because she was afraid... afraid that, were she to tell him the truth of what she had seen, they would take her son away... because she knew that if Nirn was to survive, Feigi would have to remain under her and Gar's supervision.

Once she arrived back home, Gar noticed that she had gone blind. He told her to get some rest.

During this time, she told Gar about what she saw in the Elder Scroll, asking him to take good care of their son. He obliged, after which she passsed away with a smile.

After this time, his father did his best to raise him and train him in what he knew about the mortals' combat and magic. His father also told him many tales of lore, and about the races of men, mer and beast that inhabited Skyrim.

Once Feigi reached the age of adulthood, his father told him about what his mother saw in the Elder Scroll, because he knew that if his beloved world was to surive, Gar could no longer hide Feigi from his destiny.

"Dark times lie ahead, my son. And the Elder Scroll foretold that you are the key to stop the destruction that lies ahead. I cannot physically join you, for I do not wish to interfere in mortal affairs any longer. However, do know that I will always be watching over you, and will provide you with useful information should you need it. I may only do so when you're asleep, but do know that I will always do so when you call upon my help."

"I understand, father. Thank you."

"Naturally. I only ask you to promise me one last thing."

"What is it, father?"

"Promise me that you will help and protect the innocents of Skyrim. Deal with the wicked and the corrupt as you see fit, but promise me that you will perserve innocent life."

"Of course, father. They will be under my protection."

And so, Feigi prepared himself to head out to Skyrim to fulfill his destiny foretold by his father, who learned it from Feigi's mother.

His father's stories of Skyrim told Feigi that it is quite a harshly cold province, so he got himself into some Fur Armor, and taking some basic traveling gear and supplies with him to Skyrim, Feigi soon enough arrived.

'No guards on the border? Heh, brought my documents for nothing...' he thought, and made his way further into the province.

He got approached by a Nord man on a horse, who almost ran into him! Quickly stepping aside, Feigi warned him "Hey! Watch where you're going!", but got no response.

Shrugging it off, he wandered further into Skyrim...

Footsteps approached his way, and a muscular Nord in a fancy black armor ran past him, followed by several more male Nords in an armor that looked like a blue sash wrapped around a quilted armor underneath.

More footsteps followed, and a voice exclaimed "Hey! One of the dockworkers escaped!". Feigi looked into the voice's direction, and noticed several red-armored men approaching his way angrily.

Knowing he'd be overpowered, even with his father's training, Feigi dropped his supplies to move quicker and decided to flee... but failed. He soon felt the hard end of a mace to his head, and lost consciousness.
