Random TES Headcanons that I made up part 2

After meeting Sofie at Windhelm, the Imperial Quartet barged into the Palace of Kings to yell at Ulfric, and were promptly thrown out. They are not welcome back. Andor brought Sofie to Solstheim and Aeta’s parents adopted her.

Tatiana’s niece Oriana is adopted and the only Nibenese in the family. Oriana’s parents are Minerva (Tatiana’s sister) and Minerva’s wife.

While coming off as rude, Sarnai doesn’t really mean it, she’s just been alone for a really long time and has a hard time interacting with people.

Although Andromeda only has one aunt, her grandmother had a lot of siblings, who had a lot of kids, so Andromeda has a pretty big family.

Since her mother ran off with her father, a man of low social status, any chance of Andromeda having any kind of political power on Aldmeris was completely thrown out the window. Because of this, she spent a lot of time studying or doing organizational work for her family. She was sent to Skyrim to be Ancano’s assistant (aka secretary).

Corentin likes to sketch in his journal. He’s not very good at drawing people but likes to draw things from nature like flowers or animals.

Personality: Being an Orc, Sarnai is known to be gruff and intimidating. With her years of combat experience and survival skills, she is a force to be reckoned with. Despite this, she doesn’t mean to come off as rude, she just can’t help it. In addition, Sarnai is rather independent and is used to looking after herself. After spending years traveling from place to place alone, Sarnai tends to be unaccustomed to affection or friendship from others. This causes her to be caught off guard and act rather embarrassed. Nevertheless, she is determined to be a good leader and assist her fellow Legion members. 

Backstory: Sarnai was born to the Chief Burguk and his favored wife Shel in Dushnikh Yal, an orc stronghold near the Reach. Unfortunately, Sarnai did not have a good relationship with either of her parents, due to the fact that her father was always busy and her mother ignored her for most of her childhood as Shel wanted a son. Sarnai instead grew close to Burguk’s other wives. Arob, a guard at the stronghold, and Gharol, a blacksmith. They taught Sarnai how to smith and fight. This is what inspired Sarnai’s love of two-handed weaponry. Although Sarnai was proving to be a strong and useful member of the tribe, her relationship with her parents only got worse. When she was 18, Shel finally snapped and forced Burguk to banish Sarnai from the tribe, for “disrespecting Burguk’s leadership”. Burguk complied, though he really didn’t want to. Now out on her own, Sarnai traveled all over Skyrim, taking odd jobs here and there. She even crossed into Cyrodiil for a few months, and to Morrowind for a few. Four years after her banishment, Sarnai found herself in Markath. Although she liked the city, she despised the Silver-Blood Family and their corruption that seemed to plague the town. At first, Sarnai intended to just keep her head down, but two days into her stay, Sarnai witnessed one of the Silver-Bloods beating an Orc who lived in the Warrens. Angered, Sarnai immediately challenged the man to a duel and won. Disgusted by the fact he was beaten by an Orc, the man had used his connections as a member of the Silver-Bloods to throw Sarnai into Cidhna Mine for three weeks. After being released, Sarnai was approached by an Imperial soldier who witnessed Sarnai’s duel and arrest and offered her a place in the Legion. Sarnai happily accepted and worked her way through the ranks to becoming a Legate in the span of only five years. After suffering in the mine, Sarnai became inspired to fight corruption and saw the Legion as an opporunity to acheive her goal.
