My Dunmer Ranger-esque character, who I've used in Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion will be making a return. I always just role-play that "cannon" wise he isn't the main hero. I have other characters for that. Though I do finish the main quest with him so the events pass in the game world.
He overheard a group of Imperial's talking about the Red Year in a tavern. Their words already had his temper rising when finally one of them let out a comment that the Dunmer actually deserved what happened and that it was a shame those filthy lizards didn't wipe them all out. This was the breaking point, he slaughtered them. Little did he know those Imperials were deep in the pockets of the local lord. Needless to say he was thrown in the dungeons and set to be executed.
Now, he doesn't deny that the Dunmer of Morrowind deserved what they got to a certain degree. Even though Helseth had abolished slavery it was only a matter of time before the Argonian's sought out retribution. That being said, the events during the Red Year were terrible. Most of Morrowind -not just Vvardenfell- being destroyed causing deaths of thousands. The small number that survived were wiped out by the Argonian invaders, and the lucky who survived that fled to Solstheim.
It was only a small minority of Dunmer who were pro-slavery by the time that happened. All those innocents did not deserve to pay for the sins of others. :shakehead:
