"Who are the Blades, anyway? Some kind of Imperial Khajiit legend?" Gallus asked while stepping around some boulders.

Fendros gave a short laugh, "No, not specifically Khajiit. They are the Emperor's bodyguards. Well, they used to be. They were disbanded after the Empire made peace with the Dominion." Fendros was covering the ground where Ahnasha wasn't, saving them a bit of time, but he spoke up to communicate with Gallus. "They have quite a bit of history. Some say they're still out there, hidden. They're also known for these special swords and armour, based on Akaviri equipment."

"What? Like those curved swords with the little round guard? What are they, kabanas or-?"

Gallus' wild guesses were cut off by Uthri's shouted response from the top of the hill she had scaled. "I see what could be it! Right there! Around the bend! This looks like that's the biggest hill!" Everyone looked up to Uthri then to area she was pointing to. After another moment of looking around, Uthri added, shouting, "I do not see any bigger hill! Check that spot!" Uthri squat down and carefully began lowering herself down the slopes, "I will be with you in a moment!"

After a moment, Sabine began to mumble back at Peiter. "Do you not ever get worried about how people will react if you do not do something for them? Even if they are nice people?"
