arqanil adorin

altmer • mage/archer • the last dragonborn

resides in the College of Winterhold, but is in the process of building Heljarchen Hall in the Pale. would like to return to Solitude someday, but doesn’t have the coin at the moment.

grew up in a well-to-do family in Solitude, her mother and father were highly skilled alchemists and healers and their concoctions were highly revered amongst the citizens of Haafingar, including the High King Torygg and his wife, Elisif (prior to his untimely death of course). she was trained in the alchemical and restoration arts, as well as archery. her mother was a talented archer and taught her everything she knows.

several years prior to the incident in Helgen, arqa’s father began to grow cold and distant, and more and more absorbed in his work. he went on long trips away from home and refused to tell his family what they were for. after one such trip, arqanil awoke to find her father standing over her — he explained that his research into escaping death had been a success; he had found a vampire willing to turn him, and now he wanted to share his everlasting life with his family. arqa managed to escape him, but her mother and sister were not so lucky. she has no idea where they are now, as she left Solitude and refused to return until after Helgen.

because of this, she despises vampires and undead of any sort, and seeks to destroy them whenever she should come across them. for two years before she was unjustly apprehended at the border she studied the magical art of destruction, sought out information regarding vampires and their weaknesses, and learned how to survive outside the safety of the capitol city.

currently:

- Legate: joined the Imperial Army due to her loyalty to Jarl Elisif and because her family has been loyal to the Empire for generations. defeated Ulfric Stormcloak in Windhelm and helped end the Civil War. has very little interest in continuing her role as a soldier now that Jarl Elisif and Skyrim are settled, and plans to continue her studies from before she joined the war.

- Student: joined the College of Winterhold to grow her magical ability. she has chosen the path of a fire mage, though she dabbles in other schools of magic from time to time.

- Dragonborn: studying with the greybeards and finding out why and how the dragons have returned.
