4E 201, 11th Day of Last Seed
Lorea awakens to the sounds of screaming, echoing through the cave and chilling her very blood. She was a member of a clan of Reachmen known as the Cinder-Heart, well known for their exceptional cruelty and worship of the Lord of Domination, Molag Bal. Lorea had always been hesitant to partake in their foul rituals, finding their ways barbaric and senseless. This Turdas morning was no different, yet another traveler had been captured by her kinsmen, given to their clan's Briarheart to be offered as a sacrifice to Molag Bal. Lorea shuddered, cupping her hands over her ears to desperately try and muffle his screams. It was no use, there was no silencing the sounds of the stranger's chest cavity being torn open while he still lived, his flesh set ablaze using dark magics taught to them by the Hagravens.
She'd had enough, crawling from her cot, Lorea began gathering her belongings, anything she would need to make a new life for herself. Scanning the room, ensuring no one was watching, the young Breton prepared to leave her clan behind. If she was caught abandoning her people, it would mean her death. As light crept over the mountain, a warm breeze blew through the mouth of the cave that had been her home. Having changed into an outfit of furs and pocketing a handful of Septims, Lorea slipped away from the camp and began the trek to Markarth, where she would hopefully not be recognized as a Forsworn.
The guards did not seem to pay her any mind as she approached the main gate, having disguised her identity well. **

Character Information
Name: Lorea
Age: 24
Race: Breton (Forsworn)
Class: Shaman - Shamanism is practiced by many tribes of The Reach. But unlike her kinsmen, Lorea was never one to use her magic to harm others. She has focued her magical abilies into healing and summoning of spirit guardians.
Morality: Neutral Good - Lorea will always strive to help people and holds no love for those who would do harm to others. Especially necromancers, bandits, thieves, and assassins. She will help the poor whenever she can and will avoid unnecessary conflict, although in the land of Skyrim that is not always possible.
Standing Stone: The Lover (early)
Mods
Essential
Wintersun - Adds religion and worship. Pray, worship at shrines and follow the tenets of your deity to strengthen your bond with the deity and eventually reward you with divine strength. In addition to the divines and daedric princes, the mod adds many other deities from Elder Scrolls lore with their own shrines. I chose the All-Maker but will also have close ties to Kyne.
Recommended
Meeko Reborn - Overhaul for Meeko that gives them a unique appearance and a variety of other features. I chose the "Stark" appearance option and it fit the character nicely.
