Modded Character Build: The Elderborn

𝕴𝖓𝖙𝖗𝖔𝖉𝖚𝖈𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓

It all started with Parthurnaax, a Dragon who had conquered his malicious urges. He gifted man the Way of the Voice, which they used to turn the tide of the war against Alduin and his horde. Sensing the World Eater would be back, Parthurnaax beseeched Akatosh, hoping his prayers would be answered. Centuries, even millennia later, the members of the noble family of Elderborn, known for their unique heritage unifying Nord, Redguard, and Dunmer, were becoming prominent figures in war and politics. At the young age of thirteen, Cyrus Elderborn witnessed the murder of his parents. In a blind rage, he used a Shout. "Fus!" The murderer flew against a wall, cracked his skull, and died. It was decreed by Jarl Balgruuf the Greater that once of the proper age he would be made thane of Whiterun for bringing a member of the Dark Brotherhood to justice. The assassination note confirmed their suspicions. He spent the next five years in Balgruuf's home, learning all he could. Once he turned 18, Cyrus spent the next three years hunting the Dark Brotherhood. He came to rest in Helgen one night when he awoke to a dragon torching the small village. He took his horse and rode the rest of the way to Ivarstead, where he meditated with the Greybeards, wanting to gain as much power as he could. If the dragons persisted, he wouldn't get his chance at revenge... No, not revenge. Justice. He had to make sure this same situation never occurred again. This was his chance to liberate Tamriel of dragons and the Dark Brotherhood.
