| Welcome to Brotherhood of Sithis. We hope you enjoy your visit. You're currently viewing our forum as a guest. This means you are limited to certain aspects of the board and there are some features you cannot use. If you would like to join our Elder Scrolls based community, you must create a character within the lore of the Elder Scrolls and write them a back story. Our story began approximately a year after the Oblivion Crisis, and it ranges all over Tamriel. Each Province is represented and usable. Please take the time to read the back stories of those who are already here before you write yours, so we do not have repeats of ideas. (Great minds, after all, do think alike!) We now have a section that takes place during and after the events in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This section does not in any way interact with the old one. Again, you are most welcome here! Once your story is complete, join up and post it! A Speaker will contact you, and you will be able to join a Sanctuary. Or, if you would rather not be a member of the Brotherhood, you can request to play another faction. It is rather flexible and good. If you have any questions, feel free to email Shivani at anonymous_celt@yahoo.com. Please note that The Elder Scrolls, The Dark Brotherhood, Sithis, and several of the NPCs are all owned by Bethesda Softworks. Join our community!

You wish to know of Tigerpaw? vary well, this one will tell you his tale. This one was born in his homeland of Elsweyr, shortly after this one's birth he was taken away by a slave trader for this one was born into poverty. this one dose not remember much of his early childhood but if this one remembers right around the age of 10 that he was told more of his birth and knowledge of who he is. This one is of the Dagi-raht clan and he has a strong tie to magic, however this one is also cursed for he has not a coin to his name to learn the weaves of magic. This one not caring for his past sat in his sorrow for 3 more years till one day as this one was running a package for his master he stumbled across a Dunmer, Not caring at first this one started to turn the corner only to see another starting to cast a spell at this one as well as the Dunmer. Not knowing what to do this one cried out in alarm as this one thought he was going to see the after, it was not so. The spell thrown was caught then thrown back at the Dunmer that cast it, fascinated on how it worked this one tern to the Dunmer and ask how it was possible. "you can do much with magic young one, you must only learn." at that the Dunmer vanished before this one's eyes. With new light added to this one's life he set out to home in order to announce his new found look on life, only to be beat down for disobeying orders form his master. Gaining a new found hate for the one who raised him he tried to continue living under the roof of his master, learning the way of the cloak and blade. another three years pass and Tigerpaw reaches adulthood, he has perfected the craft of his people and knows much of those who are easy pray to the sly hand. having learned as he did he also managed to take books and scrolls of magic from some of the carts of magi passing though. As he gathered these items he would hide them in areas around the guild that was his home, trying to learn more from them. There are times he was caught and was forced to hand over the items, sometimes he was punished, others he was just lectured. however he still craved the knowledge, and soon he was able to learn the basics of illusion magic. It started with simple tricks and grew to the ability to hide himself from others. Seeing this as a easy way to gain currency the guild leader started to send out Tigerpaw on harder and harder missions. This one had no idea what he was getting into. The last target this one was told to steal from was a magi of the city. He was a great man and close to the mane so the spells he might possess where of great power. At first this one did not want anything to do it with, however with the boss of the guild told this one that if he stole the scroll he wanted this one would get to copy and read it all he wanted. With the possibility of a new spell to study of great power this one could not resist. Tigerpaw did as he was told and sneaked into the fortress of this one's mane, over time this one made it to the chambers of the target and see the scroll this one did... right out in the open where it was easy to steal. This one knew it was a trap, knew that if this one would be caught if this one touched the scroll, if not dead. However the lust for knowledge was too great, this one picked up the scroll and nothing happened. or so this one thought. it was 3 weeks later when this one learned of a death in the guild, a creature mangled one of this one's closes comrades within the guild, enraged by this, this one swore that he would get revenge on the one who did this. setting up traps he prepared himself for the next night, knowing that the beast would likely return again. This time his luck finally ran out, Tigerpaw awoke with his lag caught in a trap and in great pain. Not knowing where he is or why he is in the trap he started to cry out in no avail. Then he sees a shadow close by walking up the dunes to him, scared and confused Tigerpaw tries to back away from the shadow to no avail. The magi of the city walks from the shadows looking down at Tigerpaw with concern. "you tried to steal that which is not yours... did you not?" "This one dose not know what you talk about...." The magi smiles and holds up his hand only to have the scroll appear in his hand. "it seems so don't you think?" surprised Tigerpaw keeps his barring as he stares at the Khajiit in front of him. "you know young one, what you did was hard indeed, i will make you a deal." "why do you talk funny?" The magi smiles again and passes it off, "i have travailed the world in look for magic and artifacts, one of which is the reason you are now in that trap." "What do you mean? This one dose not remember even getting here." "Exactly." The magi then waves his hand and the whole area starts to fall apart, "The friend that died.... still well and alive, The beast? not real. all magic that made you think that was there." "why you do this?" "because i see your possibility, however the mane has forbidden me from just picking people from the streets. they must accept apprenticeship." "you wish this one to be your student?" "yes." "........ where do i start." (if there is edits please say so, as well as any plot holes or corrections i can throw in. hope you enjoy) Edited by RellisTigerpaw, Mar 28 2013, 01:38 AM.
