The Only Truth

"I never wanted to be the Nord's hero. In fact, being their 'hero' is rather underwhelming. Where has my so called 'destiny' gotten me other than thrown into a cell to rot for all eternity?" Estoril is an eccentric ex-Thalmor Senior Officer bent on bringing glory to herself and the Aldmeri Dominion by any means necessary. ( Full summary inside!)

2. Thalmor Ranks Index

A/N FEBRUARY 2018

Hi all! This was tacked on to the beginning of ch.3. But I decided it should be its own chapter so that if you wanted to refer to it it would be easier to find.

This index is about half canon half non-canon. After searching for something like this online and turning up empty handed, I decided to write a comprehensive list of the Thalmor ranks myself. I apologize for any inconsistencies.
