This is my newest ESO character, Kaj-Ei the Librarian (Kaj-Ei meaning literally "Ample-Eye" in Jel, the native language of Black Marsh). She was born into the Veeskhleel (Ghost People) tribe in Deepmire, but questioned some of their more sinister traditions like stealing corpses from other tribes. From the lack of solid answers she got about these practices, she discovered a burning need for knowledge and clarity.
She ended up leaving her tribe, but wasn't trusted by the others in Murkmire. She eventually made her way to Blackwood and settled in Leyawiin (in the Water's Edge house which I decorated especially). Blackwood is certainly not free of cruelty and prejudice, but there is enough of a mix of people that Kaj-Ei can fit in okay and live a quiet life. To this end, she works as a librarian in the Leyawiin Mages Guild hall, does crafting writs sometimes and rarely ventures further than the White Stallion Inn.
She has travelled a little to hone her skills in crafting and join the Antiquarian Circle, but she's always stayed out of bigger world events. She has had a couple of adventures in which she made some friends (Mirri and Bastian). But she's content. Mostly. She does have a vague dream of someday starting her own proper library, maybe even in Black Marsh somewhere (meaning I want to use Stay-Moist Mansion for that).
She's recently heard that the Mages Guild is asking members to find a collection of books scattered around Tamriel (I haven't finished all of Shalidor's library before and wanted to do it systematically). She's intrigued and has heard that Davon's Watch is a good place to start. Hopefully she won't run into any shady figures on her journey...
