» Fri Feb 13, 2015 3:07 am Author's note: I was told this tale by a Khajit Clanmother named Dra'sashi one night while I stayed in the village of S'ren-ja in Reaper's March. How much of the tale is true is left for the reader to decide.
Jone and Jode look upon you with smiles on their faces, child-of-Cyrod. Dra'sashi will tell you her favourite story to you then, if this one wants her to. Take in Khenarthi's winds from the pipe, and this one will understand Dra'sashi better.
Many phases of the moons ago, back before Big Walker woke and the sands around Rimmen still made sense, a Yoku named Sura of the Bend'r-mahk came to our homeland and he wanted take the secrets from the Ne Quin-alian kittens and have them for himself. He had already taken the Hist's Eye from the lizards of Argonia, the Heart of Lorkhaj from the Red Mountain and Keigro's favourite Akaviri Katana from Rimmen Palace, and Rajhin told his children if the sand's secrets were taken from Elsweyr, and if Sura became a better thief than himself, then he would hide Jone and Jode from the night sky forever. "You must stop Sura once and for all!" he roared.
The Devils Who Live In The West had been in Anequina with Sura of the Bend'r-mahk for many months, and they had used what little intelligence they have to decieve the Khajiit into believing that they were Ohmes (this one believes they tricked Sheggorath into brewing his skooma to be a lot more potent than usual).
They had moved south to the battlefield of the Ne Quin-al where Alkosh had eaten Pelinal for the first time, where the Cathay and Suthay clans of Riverhold and Dune were now lying in the grass, patiently waiting for the oppurtunity to pounce.
When Rajhin's roar was heard for the second time, the Khajiit came out of hiding and chased Sura and the Devils for forty days and forty nights with blades made from the fangs of their ancestors across the plains of Anequina until they reached the coast of River Malapi, where Sura and the Devils were caught, and their heads were submerged in the waters until they breathed from Khenarthi's winds no more.
