Script

Act I

Scene II

Setting: Heartholdhelm, a generic elven city (amalgamation of Woodhearth and two other unknown Altmeri cities).

(An INTERLOPER, believing he knows better than the dashing main character, enters stage left. Before him stands the imposing sight of Heartholdhelm. Within, the three bloodthirsty races of the Ebonheart Pact await (EBONHEART PACT SOLDIERS). The fool strides forward, facing certain dismemberment by angry swamp lizards and berserk barbarians...)

Scene IV

(A harried-looking high elven woman (VALASTE) sits at a table, surrounded by books. Her eyes are locked on the horizon, staring at nothing. Only the most perceptive would notice that a thin line of drool is sliding from the side of her mouth. Before her sits a massive tome, inscribed with the most intricate of runes...)

Scene II

Truly? Perhaps you do not understand the meaning of loyalty, little magelings!
