This takes place roughly a few days before Helgen so sorry if it's confusing
Our story begins in the province of Cyrodil just south of the Border of Skyrim and it starts with a child born in the Imperial City, it was a boy, a boy named Kelius from the moment he could remember he wanted to join the Imperial Legion and serve under the Emperor of Tamriel and so as a boy becoming a man he had set off to join the Imperial army but to prove his worth to the head of the Legion General Tullius he set off with a few other young men and women from the city and was told by Legate Rikke "So you want to fight for the Empire? Alright then head north of here to near the Border between Skyrim and Cyrodil find a certain Amulet of Mara and then report back here to me and we'll head off to our next mission, now good luck son!" "Yes ma'am" said Kelius and his compatriots as they set off north for the Amulet of Mara.
3 Days later *
Kelius and his soon to be men in arms arrived at a older looking ruin near the earlier hours of the day, preparing to enter a Blond nord man with what looked to be soldiers of some kind ran up to them and asked for supplies, knowing to help others in times of need the group agreed happily and as they were handing off supplies a Batalion of Imperial Soldiers came up and demanded that they all come quietly and nobody has to die, one of Kelius companions feeling nothing but fear decided to try and escape without warning he received an Arrow trough the head and fell onto the ground lifeless as blood continuously flow from his wound. Before he could make a sound all Kelius could do was feel a great force near him explode and nothing more.
