Story SummaryEdit
TutorialEdit
Moivva Karnai has Mephala's voice in her head.
"My little pawn, you are living a busy life. Agent for the Thalmor and more importantly for me. Now, do my bidding. I want that place empty. The reason? You need no reason."
Moivva Karnai heads to a cave in Whiterun to clear it of the animals within.
That night, she finds a note from the Thalmor under her door. It reads: "Dangerous criminals have been spotted in Skyrim, use your contacts to capture them. Find their names on the back. Payment as usual." It is a list of Blades members.
Mephala says "You are my pawn, I'm tired of these Altmer. Ignore their request. That's an order."
Moivva can't ignore the Thalmor, but first she heads to Falkreath where Narince offers to help her if she gives a hand with a project first. Narince leads Moivva to a ruin not far from Windhelm. Narince is preparing a trap in one of the main chambers of the ruin, which they decide to use to trap one of the "criminals" on the Thalmor's list.
Moivva then heads to Windhelm, she has contacts there that owe her some favours. In Candlehearth Hall, she approaches one of the guards off duty. She convinces him to do what she asks.
Mephala says "My little pawn. You disappoint me. You chose a different master, maybe it's time I find myself a new pawn."
The Blades Chapter 1Edit
Year 175 of the Fourth Era.
The Great War rages across Tamriel. A group of young Blades recruits go on their first mission: a patrol around the forests of Cyrodiil. A Thalmor ambush catches them off guard and they barely escape alive. Upon returning to their camp, they find it desolated. The Thalmor have been here; Cyrodiil is not safe for them anymore. They escape to Skyrim, far from the Thalmor's clutches.
In Skyrim, the Reachmen have conquered Markarth, and tensions between them and the Nords are rising...
160-163Edit
The Sheathed Blades have been individually arrested by the guards of Windhelm, captured by a man named Nieerth near Riften, trapped by Narince in a WHiterun, and framed for murder in Riften by Nitulus Jiris - a man they knew before they joined the Blades.
164-171Edit
They decide to look for Earare 'The Haggler,' a sword for hire in Dawnstar. The innkeeper says Earare's had a falling out with Jarl Skald the Younger. They find her outside, surrounded by guards. They defeat the guards and escape Dawnstar with Earare. She knew Moivva Karnai back when she ran with the pirates known as the Blackblood Marauders. Moivva used to hire them to smuggle passengers from Valenwood and the Summerset Isles.
They meet Mercer Frey at The Ragged Flagon in Riften, who reveals he did a few heists with Moivva Karnai a few months back. She stashes her loot in a cave in Haafingar.
They decide to look for Carelian 'The Hunter' at his house in Winterhold. The place is empty. A neighbour says he left in a rush a few weeks back. They find a note hidden behind Carelian's bed addressed to any Blades who find it. Someone was on his trail, and he escaped. He also mentions Moivva's recent activites, and her hideout in an abandoned cave in Haafingar.
They contact the Thieves Guild in Riften and arrange a meeting in an abandoned house at midnight. They are robbed by Karliah, but also get told that Moivva used to run with the Blackblood Marauders, a group of small-time pirates currently docked at Windhelm.
In Morthal, Maurash 'The Mountain' has retired and runs an inn with his sword on a pedestal. He says he is fearful for his life, as someone has been following him for a few nights. They help him disappear, and he gifts them his sword and tells them that he met Moivva at the New Gnisis Cornerclub in Windhelm. She used to receive lots of packages from a friend in Elden Root.
They meet Hestla of the Companions outside a tomb in Whiterun shaking her fist. She's terrified of confined spaces and nearly crying. They defeat a Draugr for her, and she reveals she was mugged by Moivva and her Khajiit associates in the past, the Khajiit caravan close to Falkreath.
Edwayl 'The Summoner' is still a Blade but spends her time researching in the College of Winterhold. One of her experiments went wrong and there's a spirit in the cellar that won't leave. They defeat the Enraged Spirit and Edwayl uses a spell to trace Moivva Karnai's note. She finds out Moivva allies with a Khajiit caravan outside Falkreath.
In Whiterun, they try to find their friend Roak, an eminence in the study of Skyrim history and politics, but his wife tells them he went out looking for some old tablets a month ago. Roak is in a cave, who fell into a pit and broke his neck. They awaken Roak's spirit and he whispers that he and Moivva used to get drunk together at the New Gnisis Cornerclub in Windhelm. The last time they met, he mentioned working for some new powerful allies from the Southwest.

The Khajiit are asleep, and after killing the guard they reveal Moivva betrayed them and is now working with some foreign power.

A group of High Elves have been seen meeting Moivva on several occasions, exchanging documents and Septims.
Moivva Karnai is working for the Thalmor. The organisation has no right to operate in Skyrim. The High King needs to know about this urgently.
EndEdit
The High King says "The Thalmor shouldn't be operating in my kingdom... But you don't know, do you? The war is over. The Dominion and the Empire have signed an armistice. The Blades have been disbanded. I have granted you an audience out of respect, but you must leave my palace immediately. Take this, and may Talos watch over you. Find a place to hide. A storm is coming your way." He gives them some gold.
The guards refuse to let them see the High King. In the Winking Skeever, a High Elf boasts about the armistice. The Blades have been disbanded, and you need a place to hide.
The Blades Chapter 2Edit
The war is over. The Emperor signs the White-Gold Concordat, banning the worship of Talos across Tamriel, and disbanding the Blades. Meanwhile, in Skyrim, Ulfric Stormcloak marches with his militia towards Markarth, set on defeating King Madanach of the Reachmen.

The Blades will need to find allies in different parts of Skyrim if they want to survive.

They go to Red Valley Redoubt, defeating a Hagraven Coven, and Azzadal recites the Poetic Edda and jumps from the cliff to his death. Madanach laughs, "That's the destiny he wanted...

The Sheathed Blades decide they need to kill the betrayer and stop Moivva Karnai.
The Blades Chapter 3Edit
With Jarl Hrolfdir reinstated in Markarth, the cult of Talos is restored. This violates the White-Gold Concordat, and the Emperor has no choice but to give the Thalmor free access to Skyrim. Ulfric is arrested, and the cult is banned once more.
The Blades search for Moivva Karnai, when an ominous voice speaks to them in dreams; they've attracted the attention of a Daedric Prince.
"She whom you seek serves me, but I've grown tired of her. Do my bidding, and she'll be yours. The Dark Brotherhood plans on killing Jarl Hrolfdir. Take the initiative; they'll be grateful and help you in your quest."
229-232Edit
The Sheathed Blades search for Jarl Hrolfdir across The Reach. He's on a diplomatic mission to broker a truce with the Reachmen. They attack and kill Stronghold Guards (stormcloaks), Stronghold Patrol (stormcloaks), and Jarl Hrolfdir. Mephala tells them that The Reachmen will be blamed for his death, thus extending this cycle of violence. The next day, they receive a note from the Dark Brotherhood, wanting to meet them.
The Sheathed Blades perform the Black Sacrament. The day after, the Dark Brotherhood invites them to meet with them.
The Sheathed Blades visit Deneth, the Archmage of Winterhold, who is not in the mood to help. After cheering him up with some juggling he says how it's practically impossible to stop a Daedric Prince. He suggests they desist and try and do something else instead.
The Sheathed Blades visit Nelacar. He says he knows where they can find an artifact that could help them, in a cave in Eastmarch.

The Dark Brotherhood accept the Sheathed Blades into their ranks. Their first contract: Jerger the Wide, gravekeeper of Falkreath. The attack and kill an Apprentice and Jerger the Wide. Mephala reveals that Jerger the Wide was killed so that Runil, a member of the Thalmor, will be offered the position.
The Sheathed Blades head to Understone Keep to find why the Daedra want the Jarl dead. They discover that the Jarl is involved in too many plots to keep track of. In a recent parchment, they find references to Moivva Karnai. Ulfric Stormcloak also appears in his documents.
The Jarl of Markarth is dead and the Reachmen are blamed. The city is frantic and accessing Understone Keep is almost impossible. The Sheathed Blades probe the guards for information, who reveal the Jarl was working to stop the Thalmor activity behind Ulfric's back. All leads point to Ulfric Stormcloak.
Outside Markarth, a young adventurer named Mjoll the Lionessinforms the Sheathed Blades that the Jarl is dead. Killed by the Reachmen. Markarth is in disarray. After hearing their story, she offers to help if they assist her in getting rid of some corrupt guards that are taking advantage of the chaos. They kill the corrupt guards, and she suggests asking Ulfric's men for assistance. Mjoll offers to join the Sheathed Blades on their adventure.
The village of Rorikstead is barely a couple of huts in a muddy field. Moivva has been seen there recently. The Sheathed Blades are taken to Rorik's house, and are begged for their help from Jouane. Rorik is wounded with poison in his blood. They heal Rorik, who welcomes them to the town as he calls it. "Mark my words: one day, this will be a big stronghold. Bigger than Whiterun." They ask about Moivva, Rorik remembers her and offers information in exchange for helping improve his town.
Moivva has been seen in Rorikstead. They find a woman crying on the main road. Her child, Lokir, was playing at the stables and climbed onto a horse which ran away. They find Lokir in a clearing in the forest, the horse dead and a mudcrab crawling towards Lokir. They kill the mudcrab and bring Lokir back to Rorikstead, where everyone celebrates his return. Rorik offers information in exchange for helping improve his town.
Deneth is upset that people are incorrectly blaming the college for the Great Collapse. Someone is spreading these rumours throughout Skyrim. The Sheathed Blades terminate the rumours, at least for a while. Deneth once again says that it's impossible to deal with a Daedric Prince.
A portal to the Spiral Skein opens and pulls in the Sheathed Blade. A figure emerges from the mist, a doppelganger. "You are an imposter and a weakling. You will stay here. Forever. I will take your place in your world, don't worry." They charge through their double and fall. When they open their eyes, everything is back to normal. Mephala find this very amusing, and tells the Sheathed Blade where to find Moivva so they can do her bidding. Alternatively, they fail to resist their doppelganger. Wherever they turn they see themself. Old, young, sick, strong, dead. They try to escape, feeling something tearing inside them. They find themselves back in Skyrim, remembering their mission. Moivva must be stopped.
242-252Edit
They attack and kill a Thalmor Justiciar, a Thalmor Agent, and Silna Althen. Mephala says they have proven they're willing to do what it takes. They will be good friends... forever. Mephala gives them Moivva Karnai's location and the Ebony Blade or the Amulet of Mephala.
They infiltrate Silna Althen's home and poison her. She dies during breakfast. Mephala compliments them as creative, ruthless, and brave. They'll serve her well. She guides them to Moivva's location to kill her, and offers them the Ebony Blade or to weaken Moivva.
The Dark Brotherhood is sending one of their own, the Altmer Dhana Chamus, to infiltrate the Thalmor detachment and learn of Moivva's whereabouts. The Sheathed Blades helps infiltrate the Thalmor Camp and now knows where to find Moivva. Mephala offers them to weaken Moivva or Mephala's Ebony Armor.
The Sheathed Blades no longer hear Mephala's voice in their head. They knock out and interrogate Runil, who regrets his time with the Thalmor and joins the Sheathed Blades in their adventure to atone for his sins. Mephala returns to the Sheathed Blades' heads. She's been pulling the strings all along. She offers to weaken Moivva or Mephala's Ebony Armor.
The Sheathed Blades visit the Stormcloaks in Eastmarch. After impressing them with their tactical skills, the Stormcloaks agree to help the Sheathed Blades. Moivva's living in a manor house in Haafingar.
On their way to meet Ulfric's men, the Sheathed Blades are ambushed by Reachmen. "Our lady Mephala is protecting us." The Sheathed Blades attack and kill 363 and 266, impressing the survivors. They point them to Moivva's manor house in Haafingar, if it is Mephala's bidding.
Rorikstead needs workers to help build houses. The Sheathed Blades build some, and Rorik walks them through his town. He has big plans, but has sadness in his eyes. He will never recover from the horrors of war. He tells them about Moivva and where to find her, and gives them Rorik's Shield or Jouane to aid them.
The Sheathed Blades kill a giant that has been seen nearby that Rorik has not been able to scare away. He reveals Moivva stopped in Rorikstead not a week ago. He knows how to find her, and gives them Rorik's Bow or Rorik's Sword.
The Sheathed Blades beg Deneth to help. He relents, and reveals he's heard of a place where Thalmor are meeting. He could send a scout to check out Moivva's Hideout or teach the Sheathed Blades the spell Earthquake.
Deneth listens to the Sheathed Blades' story. He says Mephala is not an easy opponent to defeat and offers one of his students Nalvrala Omeds or an enchanted Armor of Shrouding.
Nelacar laughs when he hears what happened. He's been working on an enchantment that could be very helpful. The Sheathed Blades help him complete it, and he offers to cast a powerful ward on them or reverse the effect and curse Moivva Karnai.
254-257Edit
Moivva Karnai is holed up in a manor house in Haafingar with an escort of Thalmor guards and whoever betrayed the Blades. It's time to strike.
EndEdit
The Sheathed Blades gather at the entrance to Moivva's hideout. They defeat everyone inside. Moivva pleads for them to spare her. She says she will help them save the rest of the Blades, that she can stop the Thalmor and can be their agent in their ranks.
If the Sheathed Blades kill Moivva, Mephala is proud of them. With Moivva dead, the Thalmor start an investigation, hunting down every Blade in Skyrim. For the next 25 years they make themselves at home in Skyrim, building a house, making friends, having a family. Every night, nightmares keep them awake. The scream of their fellow Blades murdered by the Thalmor. Mephala constantly speaks to them, making outrageous demands. They know the day will come when she bores of them.
If the Sheathed Blades spare Moivva, she pledges allegiance to their cause. They can't be sure she won't betray them, but for now they're glad with their decision. For the next 25 years they make themselves at home in Skyrin, building a house, making friends, having a family, and exchanging correspondence with the other surviving Blades. Moivva keeps her promise and helps keep their identity secret and the other Blades alive. The voice in their head has disappeared, but they know Mephala will not forgive their betrayal.
Civil War Chapter 1Edit
25 years have passed. The Blades have grown older, each one taking a position of low responsibility on different holds in Skyrim. The time for adventure has passed, and now they tend to their families and businesses. All this time, they have been keeping a tight cover, so nobody finds out about their past.
One night, they receive a visit from [IF MOIVVA KILLED] Delphine, the new Grandmaster of the Blades in Skyrim. [IF MOIVVA SPARED] their old nemesis, Moivva Karnai. [CONTINUED] She warns them that someone is trying to expose them. A new force has appeared in the province, and is promoting hatred against the Empire and everything that it represents. The Blades need to find out who is targeting them, while making their positions more secure.
272-275Edit
A Sheathed Blade lives in Falkreath as an apothecary. One day guards stop them on the street. The Jarl has heard some rumours about them but is unsure whether to trust them or not. He tells them to defeat a "scourge of undead plaguing Skyrim," and on their return the Jarl is satisfied. He knows they are more than they claim to be, but that he can use them as well.
A Sheathed Blade lives in Hjaalmarch as a courier. One day Jarl Idgrod calls for them. She's heard some alarming reports about them that she can't believe. To prove their worth to the hold, she asks them to collect soul gems from the region and give them to her so she can make sure nobody uses them as the people in Morthal are superstitious and afraid of magic. The Jarl trusts them, but someone has been slandering them.
A Sheathed Blade lives in Riften as a looter, specialising in recovering lost propert (and in losing them in the first place). One day Jarl Laila calls for them. She's heard some rumours about them and wants to know if they're true. As a test, she asks them to retrieve some artifacts from the nearby Dwemer cities. She is satisfied and believes they are not a threat to her.
A Sheathed Blade lives in Dawnstar as a blacksmith, creating weapons and armour out of iron. Jarl Skald doesn't trust them after hearing some things that would make them his enemy. They craft equipment for the guards as a show of good faith and Jarl Skald is please. Someone is trying to ruin their reputation
276-283Edit
The Sheathed Blade apothecary has a side business selling poisons to the Dark Brotherhood. In exchange for rare poison components, the Dark Brotherhood tell them of a Dunmer called Tiresi Dreelo visiting relevant figures in the region, spreading dissent and hatred, and making worrying allegations about them. She has a hideout in Solitude and has been seen visiting the Jarl of The Reach recently.
The Sheathed Blade courier has visited the College of Winterhold several times and they trust them. In exchange for investigating a recent increase in Daedra activity, they members of the College perform a ritual to find out who has been ruining the Sheathed Blade's reputation. Through a cloud of mystic smoke, they see a vision of Tiresi Dreelo, a small house in Solitude, and the hallways of Understone Keep. The College sends their apprentice Caylthe Lelant to help the Sheathed Blade.
The Sheathed Blade looter has good relations with the Thieves Guild. In exchange for helping them with a heist (trying to change the guild's luck), they tell them of a Dunmer called Taven Rathis who visited them recently. She spent her time sowing discontent against the Jarl, the Empire, Ulfric, and the Sheathed Blade. The Thieves Guild followed her to a house in Windhelm, and saw her departing towards Winterhold.
The Sheathed Blade blacksmith has made friends with some of the Companions of Whiterun. In exchange for getting rid of some bandits, the Companions lament the fact that they are not inclined to join and tell them of Taven Rathis who had some meetings with the Jarl a few weeks back, spreading rumours against people like the Sheathed Blade and the Empire. They met her in Windhelm, outside a small house in the Gray Quarter and was then seen in Winterhold talking to the locals.
The Sheathed Blade apothecary meets Jarl Siddgeir. "You know the secret to great statesmanship? Septims. Control the gold, and you'll control the people. Justice, authority and morals are secondary. There's a group of bandits operating in my hold. They are making a killing, and I want a cut. They are my subjects after all, don't you think?" The bandits accept the offer and Siddgeir is pleased. "More taxes! Isn't it glorious!" He says Tiresi Dreelo called them a heretic, but he never believed her.
The Sheathed Blade courier is called by Jarl Idgrod late at night. "I had a vision. A strong one. A nightly creature has set its eyes on my poor Joric. Destroy the creature. Save my boy." They kill a vampire in a Haafingar mine. Idgrod appreciates it. "My visions never fail. That creature was threatening that which is most precious to me. I owe you." She says Tiresi Dreelo came to see her a few weeks ago making hefty accusations against them. She's been recently seen in Markarth.
The Sheathed Blade looter is called to Mistveil Keep by the Jarl. There are rumours of skooma dealers operating in Riften, and they are sent to investigate. The rumours were true. Laila Law-Giver is satisfied, and she'll investigate further. She talks of Taven Rathis, who came highly recommended from Windhelm and told some surprising stories about the Sheathed Blade.
The Sheathed Blade blacksmith is called to Jarl Skald. He's furious. "Legate Catium, that bastard, is doing the rounds in Whiterun. Met him during the Great War. Imperial scum. Steal his armor. We'll melt it and turn it into forks." They succeed and Jarl Skald invites them to a feast at the White Hall with the new forks. He says Taven Rathis came by a few weeks ago making outlandish claims about them.
284-291Edit
The Sheathed Blade finds Tiresi's house in Solitude. A small wreck of a building with weeds growing everywhere. They pick the lock. Behind a drawer they find a hidden room. There's a large battle map on the table depicting army movements across Skyrim. War? In Skyrim? They need to warn the High King immediately.
The Sheathed Blade finds Tiresi's house, nearly a ruin. They sneak through a winder and find letters and documents proving a conspiracy that they weren't expecting. The name Ulfric Stormcloak is mentioned several times, along with the words "war," "rebellion," and "chaos." They need to warn the High King immediately.
The Sheathed Blade asks around Understone Keep about the Tiresi Dreelo. Half the people think she's wise and righteous when she criticises the Empire, the other half agree that the Nords have too much power in Skyrim. A guard heard Tiresi discussing how a war in Skyrim would be beneficial for business with a member of the Silver-Blood family. They need to warn the High King immediately.
A beggar points the Sheathed Blade to the Warrens, where Tiresi was preaching recently. They are ambushed by bandits. The beggar approaches after the fight. "She came, and gave us the truth! Only through war will we break the chains that bind us! Death to the Emperor! Death to Ulfric Stormcloak! Death to the High King! Death to all!" Other beggars join in the chanting. They need to warn the High King immediately.
The Sheathed Blade enters the Frozen Hearth and every face turns to look at them. They assuage them and find out the Dunmer got drunk at the inn a few days back, going on about how the High King would pay for being a heathen and his time was coming to an end. They need to warn the High King immediately.
The Sheathed Blade sees a shrouded figure roaming the streets of Winterhold. They shadow the figure, until it unhoods and reveals they are not Taven Rathis. "Hahaha! You thought I was Taven Rathis? Please, you're speaking with someone who has devoted their entire life to this cause, not some new recruit. Leave, heathen. I have no time for you. You'll meet the same fate as Torygg soon enough." They need to warn the High King immediately.
The Sheathed Blade starts picking the lock to the house when some guards notice. They dispatch the guards, and inside find an egregious amount of robes, one of which is covering a large battle map of Skyrim. They need to warn the High King immediately.
The Sheathed Blade crawls through the window of the house. They find a parchment of strange code, with a picture of King Torygg's head atop a pool of blood. They need to warn the High King immediately.
292Edit
The Sheathed Blades rush to the Blue Palace, but two Dunmer in robes stop them. "You shouldn't be here!" They attack. They run away, and the Sheathed Blades enter the palace ready to warn the High King. The palace is empty. In the grounds on the back they see a crowd in a wide circle. Ulfric Stormcloak stands in the middle, staring at the corpse of Torygg. If the cultists hadn't delayed them, they could have prevented this tragedy.
