Backstory
S T O R Y was born under a rare astral alignment in High Rock, the result of a union between a Breton seer and a Dragonborn adventurer exiled from the Greybeards. Raised in the mystical city of Wayrest, he showed early mastery of music and magic, with an uncanny ability to channel power through melody. His true potential awakened during a pilgrimage to the Throat of the World, where he uncovered an Elder Scroll infused with celestial power. The scroll revealed his dual destiny: to harness the voices of dragons and the music of the cosmos to prevent a star-born calamity.
Driven by visions of a “song that ends the stars,” S T O R Y journeys across the hybrid world, seeking fragments of lost knowledge and confronting the moral complexities of his prophecy. He is both revered and feared, a figure of great power and even greater mystery.
