Name | Merihem
Race | Argonian

Born and raised in the swampy region of Black Marsh, Merihem didn't necessarily have a tough upbringing, but he was made to work for what he had, often out with his father for days on end been taught about the world around him, profuse with poisonous plants and deadly predators, it was the perfect place for him to learn right from wrong, often hunting game of all sizes with nothing more than an old wooden bow, makeshift arrows and a rusty knife he called a dagger.

Twenty one years after his birth the slave trade within Black Marsh had spread thick and fast and was soon upon his family, ordered to leave by his father to avoid the same fate, Merihem did just that, rather than retreating to Helstrom with his race, he ventured of in an unknown direction with nothing more than the old wooden bow and knife that had seen him through his youth.

After long days walking the rugged terrain and sleeping rough, gone was the endless marshland and dangerous plant life he was used to, instead, snowy tundras, pine forests and arctic plains surrounded him.

"You lost boy" a voice said softly, greeting him, a tall Nordic man in his late sixty's, who to say Merihem was a definite outsider, seemed awfully friendly. After explaining the situation the man offered Merihem some shelter and food, which given his last few weeks, he wasn't going to turn down.

A god awful bang awoke Merihem, everything was a blur, men piled into the building, dressed head to toe in armour donning swords and shields, picking Merihem up from his bed and throwing him to the floor, crawling for the door, he felt a thud on the back of his head, followed by another, and another, then he saw black.

Slowly coming around, Merihem released he had been taken prisoner, and was on the back of a cart, four others in the same situation.

"Where are we going" Merihem slurred

"Helgen" replyed one of the prisoners.....







This is just a quick back story on my character, a very brief story about his life leading up to the start of Skyrim, I love writing and would just like some feedback from you guys, I will probably put a good few hours into writing his full story before friday.
