Prelude


Second-in-Command of the Imperial Legion seemed a place destined for Rikke. A daughter of two Legionnaires, she could see no other place for herself growing up. Her greatest wish is to see Skyrim whole again. With the Civil War between the Imperial Legion and the Stormcloaks being at a stalemate for months, that destiny seems far beyond the horizon. Yet when the young Dovahkiin and Thane of Whiterun Hold appears in Solitude to join the Imperial Legion, it seems that the Legion has just gained a leg up. While it should rightfully thrill any Legionnaire, Rikke comes to realize the gravity of the choice that has fallen into her hands. Preserve the stalemate that is important to her, or spearhead the victory that is important to the rest of Skyrim.
