#oc cirawe

[totally-not-deacon]

oooo for Elaith, Cirawe, and An-Lei, 1, 5, 13, and 18 for the oc ask game?

I gotcha! Gonna put it under a cut since it's a little long.

Which areas of Skyrim do they find most beautiful and most dangerous?

Elaith: Falkreath! She's always preferred forests and jungles to open plains. Though she's not the best climber, she loves getting to run through the trees and explore what it has to offer. Windhelm may not be the most inviting, but the biggest - if unintentional - danger to her is Winterhold. The college, specifically. Not that she thinks they're out to do harm, but that much magic and power in one place is always inherently dangerous.

Cirawe: None and none. If pressed, she'll admit the Reach does have some nice views, even if they are spoiled by Forsworn. Given her race, being near Windhelm/Eastmarch definitely puts her on edge, especially if traveling alone. She is, unfortunately, just one person, so waltzing into Windhelm, especially in uniform, would be a death sentence.

An-Lei: You would think Morthal and its swamps would be her favorite, but no. It certainly is dangerous though. Hypothermia sets in quickly when wet, after all. If she had to pick a favorite, she'd probably go with the Rift. She loves all the colors and mild weather. Also she has a few friends across the border in Morrowind, so being there makes it easier to visit.

5. Would they be able to live off the land if they were lost in the wilds of Skyrim? How skilled are they at foraging and hunting?

Elaith: It might take her a little while to know which plants are edible in Skyrim, but she'd do pretty well. She's obviously... extremely out of practice given she, at least used to, spend most of her time on Artaeum. Though, she'd likely figure out how to summon food first before attempting to hunt.

Cirawe: Oh god no, she comes from a very well-to-do family back in Alinor. Manual labor is beneath her. I'd be surprised if she knew how to boil water by herself. Of course, if foraging can also include murdering some poor sap for their food, she's got that covered.

An-Lei: She already spends most of her time outside of any real settlements, so it wouldn't be a problem for her. She's better at fishing than hunting, but she'd hardly go hungry.

13. Do they believe the old nordic tales about the Dragonborn? If they are Dragonborn how has their experience differed?

Elaith: She's unsure whether the Nordic or Cyrodiilic version holds more truth to it, but absolutely. She saw the rise of the Alessian Empire (from a safe distance), so she knows the concept of the Dragonborn at least is very real.

Cirawe: Absolutely not. Ignorant Nord nonsense as far as she's concerned, especially when learning of its connection to Talos. Even with the proof in front of her, I doubt she'd ever admit the Nords were right about something.

An-Lei: There are stranger things in the world! She might have a few doubts about some of the details in the old tales, and would love to see it in action, but by and large she's a believer.

18. What is their stance on taking a life? Do they kill without a second thought, in the name of a god or daedra, or do they adhere to pacifism?

Elaith: She hates it, and if it's at all avoidable, she won't do it. If it comes to protecting herself or others, she can and very much will take a life, but it would eat at her for some time.

Cirawe: Honestly, she loves it. She's partaken in more than her fair share of inquisitions to root out Talos worshippers and other such "degenerates", it would be boring if she had to go long without a little murder.

An-Lei: Does it if needed, or if it would help more people than it would hurt. She'd never go out of her way to just murder someone. She doesn't so much hate it as sees it as an unfortunately necessary part of life.
