She made her way up to Helgen knowing she might find some answers there. As she came upon the town, she noticed the gates were gone and there was no movement coming from the town. She arrived and stepped through the open gate. Helgen now lay in ruins as she stood there wondering to herself, “how long has it been? It appears as if it’s been this way for some time now.” She then thought, “I better have a look around and see if I can find any clues as to what happened.”
As she entered the town, she could not see anyone or anything, the place was empty. All that was left were the halfway collapsed buildings, and ruins of what had once been here. Her memories were still fuzzy of her past, but she remembers somehow, there was a time when there were trips from Cyrodiil. It was located to the north of Helgen. In those days it was still a thriving stopover for people traveling in or to Cyrodiil, the capital province of Tamriel.
She knew she had to find a place to set up as a home. Somewhere she could quietly come and go. A place where her presence would not be noticed by whomever or whatever might still be hanging around these lands. Staying here, at what used to be Helgen, would not be a good choice as it still may be used as a camping place and holdover for those crossing over from or to various lands.
She continued to explore what was left of Helgen looking for something that would help explain what had happened. She stood in front of what used to be the inn and the old watchtower.
It was getting dark, she decided to find what she could and set up a temporary campsite at the top of the tower. She felt no one would disturb her this high up. She setup some wards first that would give her time if someone should get nosy.
She thought, some rest might help clear the cobwebs in my brain. Not sure of what happened but there’s a chunk of my past I can’t remember no matter how hard I try. Something has happened, and how do I know how to perform ward magic? Was I a mage at the college or a battle mage in my past? Where did this knowledge come from and why did it feel so instinctive?
She prepped the bedding and set the outer and inner wards to protect her as she slept. She used what she instinctively felt were fear runes. These would increase a person’s natural fears to a heightened level. That would keep most people or creatures away while she slept. She then laid down, pulled the fur up over her, then fell into a deep slumber.
