This is a story about a former countess noblewoman exiled from the northern region of Tamriel, a land that governs the setting for most of the lore contained in The Elder Scrolls, a property owned by Bethesda. The creation of this character was inspired by several historical accounts of Elizabeth Bathory, the "Blood Matron of Hungary" accused of torturing and killing hundreds of young women during the turn of the 17th century. The characters and setting do not belong to the author. Knowledge of the Elder Scrolls lore is not essential, but will prove helpful in keeping track of names and environs. This can be considered a mature story, not suitable for work. Feedback is welcome.
