Man and Mer are both capable of mindless slaughter. Barbaric yes but the Snow Elves, Ayleid and Minotaur did not die out of natural causes. They were being systematically slaughtered by the Thalmor. I reached the ridge where Casius had looked down upon the spot Ragnar and the Sons of Talos had rescued him and tens of thousands of refugees. Of the beauty around me and once again felt Cyrodiil was more home than Skyrim Myriads of things crossed my mind on the ride and itįlipped from subject to subject at a rapid rate.

I had to adamantly refuse an offered escort on more than one occasion. A few stood dumbfounded as their Emperor trotted past without an escort.

Many of the troops saluted me as General. The roads and that is what I did rather than continuing to follow the route I Smart bandit would stick to the wilderness.

His eagerness to be at the front all the time was suspicious. His troops had a week to find it before I even set out
