» Sun Oct 07, 2012 12:50 pm Fasendil: my parents were wondering merchants eventually settling in Cyrodiil, I must have inherited their wanderlust. I joined the Legion to see the world, I know that's just one of those things that people say, but it's completely true in my case. It wasnt long before I saw more of the world than I bargained for.
you: You're from Cyrodiil? What's it like back home?
Fasendil: Home? Home to me is a hot cup of ail at the end of the day, and 5 minutes without someone needing me. Cyrodiil is a beautiful place with diverse people and histories, so to Hammerfell and Skyrim, and every other place I've been. Don't get me wrong, every country has its dark corners, but that's why we're here, to bring order and civilization, and to protect the people.
You: Not everyone seems to want us here.
Fasendil: Ulfric and his thugs are string up trouble for their own agenda, the Empire is the only thing keeping the Dominion from walking all over Skyrim. It matters little if some people here are ignorant of that truth, they are still citizens of the Empire, it is our solemn duty to protect them.
You: Sounds like you've seen you're fare share of hardship.
Fasendil: the life of a soldier is full of hardship, that's nothing, but they send the Legion to places that have become too bad to be settled with out violence. What's hard is seeing people warped by evil, and I've seen the face of evil, it was in the air above Sentinel on the night of Green Fire.
You: What happened on Green Fire?
Fasendil: back in 42 in was on leave stationed in Hammerfell on leave in Sentinel trying to track down refugee family members who were trying to escape persecution in Alinor. Suddenly, an explosion of magic in the refugee quarter. Thalmor mages were attacking Altmer dissidence, who were resisting with magic of their own. I ran with some other legionaries who were stationed there, but the entire quarter was a smoking ruin by the time we got there, everyone was dead, wholesale slaughter. The Dominion, not content with killing dissidence of their own back home, came to Hammerfell to finish the job. We're supposedly at peace now, but I put in to be stationed here to keep an eye on the Thalmor, I have a feeling their behind this unrest here in Skyrim.
Legate Fasendil is why I fight for the Empire. His words penetrate Ulfric's lies. His words give me reason to take up arms against a power-hungry murderer who calls himself High King. I am a Legionare, and I fight to prevent Tyrants and murderers from creating as Green-Fire-like event in every city in Tamriel. I fight for freedom, I fight for the Empire!!!
