Ayra was born to a reclusive clan of Bosmer in Valenwood that lived in the forests on their own. This clan had slightly different views on the Green Pact than other Bosmer, they believed it to be acceptable to pick flowers and other plantlife, provided they don’t kill the plant completely. This meant they were capable of picking ingredients for alchemy and cooking, though they were shunned by the rest of Bosmer society for it. Due to this, Ayra had a talent for Alchemy when she came to Skyrim. She also had a talent for magic, something that her clan considered special. She was taught the basics for magic, mostly focusing in Destruction magic so she could defend herself, though she was taught basics in Illusion magic so she could calm creatures that she encountered. It was also because of her magical abilities that she left her clan.

She left, not out of dispute, but as a pilgrimage and as a way to learn more about her magical abilities and how to hone them. She left her clan and Valenwood to go to the heart of the Empire, Cyrodill. She went straight to the Mages Guild and pleaded for tutelage, however the Great War had just ended and she was not trusted as most men of the time had a great mistrust of all Elves. She managed to gain some lessons in magic from a travelling mage, who after seeing her talent took her in for a number of years. During this time she travelled most of Tamriel, visiting Morrowind, Black Marsh, Eleswyr and High Rock. During her travels she learned more of her abilities and she learned of a school of magic in Skyrim. It was then she decided to leave for Skyrim.

She left for Skyrim a year before she was captured and put to the block, travelling cross country. It took her a year, but she got there eventually. Upon arrival in Skyrim she encountered a skirmish between Imperials and the rebel Stormcloaks. The battle was short and decisive, the Imperials beating the rebels quickly, however she was detained by the Imperials in the mop up. She failed to provide documentation proving she legally crossed the border, and was added to the list of prisoners heading to Helgen. She was taken to the city to be executed, alongside some other notable persons of the time.

After the events of Helgen, which she managed to survive, she headed north, to the city of Winterhold. She planned on joining the College of Winterhold, which she managed to do upon arrival. Upon joining up with the College she left with her class to the ruins of Saarthal, a Nordic ruin that was destroyed by the Elves back in the Night of Tears. She helped to discover an ancient artefact buried in the ruins, which is rumoured to be the Eye of Magnus. Not everything is known about the events that followed during the time period that Ayra was part of the College, however it is known that whatever that did occur, happened over the course of three months. Ayra was sent to the Labyrinth, and rumours say that she was recovering the ancient and legendary Staff of Magnus. It is also known that, during this time, the previous Arch-Mage, Arch-Mage Shalidor, was killed. Another college member, a Thalmor advisor Ancano was also killed, under mysterious circumstances. Ayra was offered the position of Arch-Mage however she declined, instead devoting her time into research and learning how to better use her abilities.

After the events that transpired at the College of Winterhold, not much happened in her life. She spent approximately six months studying at the college with little interaction with the world besides with her fellow members of the college. Over this time she further developed her skills and undertook several excavations of magical ruins in the province. However the civil war in Skyrim escalated and eventually she felt the need to serve during the war.

During this time, Skyrim had been in state of civil war for approximately two years, though tensions had been high for significantly longer, ever since the end of the First Great War and the signing of the White-Gold Concordet. The main reason for this was the outlaw of Talos as a Divine, which enraged the Nords of Skyrim who worshipped him as Talos was once Tiber Septim, perhaps one of our greatest Emperors.

Ayra, served in the civil war, joining with the Imperials and fought in many key battles. She assisted in capturing many key forts and assisted in defending Whiterun from the Stormcloaks early in her service. She assisted in capturing the holds that were not in Imperial control and was present in the Battle for Windhelm, where the Stormcloak city of Windhelm which held Ulfric Stormcloak, leader of the Stormcloaks, was besieged. The siege lasted a day and a half which ended in the death of Ulfric Stormcloak. Though never confirmed, it is rumoured that Ayra dealt the killing blow to Ulfric Stormcloak herself though the Imperial Legion refuses to release information on the subject, besides what has already been released. Her service ended shortly after and she left the Legion, a year after joining.

The year is now 4E 203 and the civil war has been resolved, though there are still pockets of infighting across Skyrim. Ayra left to explore the province. It was during this time she learnt of vampires in Skyrim and of the Dark Brotherhood.

Ayra had been targeted by the Dark Brotherhood, the person that took out the hit on her and the reason for the hit has still never been fully understood, though many theories have been made on the topic, including the theory that Thalmor took out the hit on her, though their motivations are unknown. Ultimately though it did not matter, Ayra was targeted by multiple assassins that failed to complete the job, until an assassin known as Astrid attempted to recruit her. Ayra killed her and was sent to their hideout, which is still kept a close secret, by the Peniticus Octulatus to eliminate the rest of the Brotherhood. She managed to eliminate the Dark Brotherhood, though rumours exist that members of the Brotherhood survived and that it has begun rebuilding, however these are just rumours.

Ayra had a great hate for vampires at this time and went hunting them for several months. She tracked down many vampires, even dispatching several Master Vampires herself. She has been hailed a hero by the people of Morthal who she helped to rid of a Vampire clan that had been planning on capturing the town and turning it into a blood farm. Fortunately the plan was averted. However around this time she mysteriously disappeared, despite being confirmed to have stopped the vampire threat. She was unheard of for close to five years after this.

The year is now 4E 208 and every one of the time thought she was dead or gone. However she resurfaced again, this time sticking to the shadows. She had appeared among the ranks of the Thieves Guild, a career which seemed at the time to be very different from what was expected of her. Her involvement in the Thieves Guild is hardly known, mostly due to the secrecy that the guild holds itself and its members in. However it is known that she was involved with a number of jobs and heists. She recovered several items of value, though it is said that she is in the possession of the legendary Eyes Of The Falmer.

At this point, historians trying to track Ayra’s life have had to resort completely to rumours and myths to document her life. Rumours have said that she left Skyrim, to venture out to other provinces, continuing her education in magic, other rumours say that she simply died in Skyrim, fighting Bandits or Creatures, including Vampires. One common rumour is that Ayra was cursed with Vampirism and has become a creature of the night. However nothing is known for sure.

Anyatica (Anya for short) was a Priestess of Dibella and also a strong follower of Mara when she was still mortal. She served in the temple of Dibella since a young age until she was in her early thirties, a young age for a Bosmer, when the temple was attacked by a band of vampires. The priestesses of the temple, not being built for fighting, prayed to their Goddess, asking for protection from the monsters trying to kill them. Their prayers were answered, and Dibella made the temple impossible to enter by any vampire. The priestesses were safe from them as long as they remained in the temple and the vampires laid siege to the temple for many days.

The vampires realised that they could not enter the temple very quickly however they discovered that the protection only prevented them from entering the temple, not their thralls. One night they left and went to the local town and enthralled the whole town and sent them to the temple, under the guise of being attacked by the vampires. The priestesses, being women of the Gods, let them in, offering them protection. The villagers however quickly turned on the priestesses, slashing at them and the temple became a slaughterhouse. Most of the priestesses were slaughtered, and the survivors were mutilated before being dragged out and fed upon by the waiting vampires. Anyatica was fortunate, she was mutilated and thought to have died and left inside the temple. She lay in the temple, lying in a pool of both her blood and the blood of her sisters for the rest of the night until the Sun rose and day broke.

When day broke she used her very basic knowledge of healing to heal her wounds. She managed to clean and close the wounds but she was left with horrible scars all over her body. She pulled her weak and desecrated body from the temple and down to the local town to find the whole town burned to the ground and bodies littering the streets. The vampires had fed on their thralls and killed the rest of the town, leaving the bodies littering the streets. Grief stricken, Anyatica fled the town, heading for the nearest city, in hopes of delivering word of the town’s fate and of finding a healer that could heal her scars. She found both in the city of Kvatch.

She told the guards of Kvatch the fate of the town and then sought out a healer for her scars. The healer she found was much more adept than she was in healing and attempted to heal her scars, however the damage was too much for the young healer and he confessed to being unable to heal the scars. Anyatica was devastated and the healer took pity and told her of a master healer that was living in the Summerset Isles. He warned her that it would be difficult to get to the master healer, but if she managed, he would be her best chance at healing the scars, other than that though, he could only advise prayer.

Anyatica immediately head to Anvil to procure a boat ride to the Summerset Isles and prayed every night to Dibella for her scars to be healed. Her prayers went unanswered every night and a few weeks later, she was in the city Alinor. There she found the master healer who after looking at her scars for only a few seconds told her that the scars were too much for even his skills and that they could not be healed. She would have to learn to live with the scars.

Anyatica could not accept this and spent months travelling Tamriel looking for a way to heal her scars, to no avail. Every night she prayed to Dibella; and every night she went unanswered. After months, she grew even more desperate and turned to the Daedra. She managed to summon the Daedric Prince Azura and begged for her to heal her scars. Azura felt pity for the priestess however she did not help her. Anyatica summoned her several times, and each time Azura refused to help her. Losing hope, Anyatica prepared to give up and return to the temple when she was approached by a strange man. The man, a Nord it seemed, gave her an offer, her scars healed and eternal beauty in exchange for her service towards him. Desperate, Anyatica accepted. The man waved his hand over her, and red tendrils of energy fell upon her, healing her scars. She also became extremely beautiful, but the man had tricked her. She became a creature of the night, a vampire.

The man turned out to be Molag Bal. Horrified with what she became Anyatica fled. Anyatica quickly learned that her beauty was linked to her feeding. She had to feed regularly to retain her beauty. Hating what she had become but hating the scars that she had when she didn’t feed, she began to embrace her curse; and began to feed on the living. She met a man, this time a Dunmer, who took her in and they travelled together. However the partnership did not last.

The Dunmer, called Ryvulnd Krin, wanted to become a pure vampire, though this was a gift only bestowed upon the women who survived Molag Bal’s torture and [censored] and were called Daughters of Coldharbour. Ryvulnd had researched for centuries on how to become a pure vampire as a male and had found that in rare circumstances, Molag Bal would grant this gift to males, if they sacrificed enough. Thinking that Anyatica was enough, he sacrificed her to Molag Bal in exchange for power. Molag Bal was not impressed and burned him to ash for his insolence. However, he kept the sacrifice, Anyatica.

For what felt like an eternity, Molag Bal held Anyatica against her will, [censored] and torturing her over and over again. Eventually Anyatica was sent back to Tamriel, molested, [censored] and abused. However she was also given the gift of pureblood from Molag Bal. She spent years trying to run from the memories, to forget what happened. She met with another band of vampires, who she joined with and helped to do a great many things, both great and horrible. She helped to capture a town and enthral the whole town to provide a limitless supply of blood for them. She also helped the town get destroyed and wiped from not just the map, but also from history and time. Nobody remembers the town and there are no written records of the town ever existing.

Anyatica left and travelled the continent for the next six hundred years, where she finds herself in Skyrim, home of the Nords. She travelled there in search of a magical artefact, that legend says contains ancient magicks from the age before man, capable of tearing down the walls of reality and bring all the different dimensions and realms that exist in and out of Oblivion into Mundas, and make Nirn a living hell, where Aedra and Daedra walk free and where mortals are the playthings of the immortals.
