I can't believe how excited I am about this character. I'm thrilled she's well received [@Dervish] Perhaps she published her notes on Dwemer language, a dictionary of sorts, and Rhea could have taken note of it? aaand, I hadn't considered political climate. So, maybe a bit of blackmail suits the situation better than favors do. I edited it in her [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4501336]sheet[/url]. And for convenience [hider=edited section] So, she finally set out for Cyrodiil. Her father paid her way on a safe caravan and sent her off with a rather large amount of money as well as various bank notes for future use. The journey was uneventful, and her arrival at the University was welcome after her mother called in a few contacts. Ultimately, she had to do little work and the transition was painless. That was what Anifaire believed, anyway. In truth, Sephona and Aronar had to combine their political sway, and spies, in order to send her into territories that weren't typically friends to the Thalmor. It was, in reality, blackmail and bribes that got Anifaire accepted into the university, orchestrated by Sephona. A couple of subtly worded letters were enough to get a council member backing her daughter, and a fat sack of gold ensured her quarters at the University. Ultimately, it did the job, but made Anifaire no friends. Many did suspect her of Thalmor loyalties. She made few friends at the University. None, really. The caravan that she had traveled with on her way to Cyrodiil had been made up of only Altmer, and around Alinor, there were few other races. There were quite a few Bosmer, and she had met travelers and dignitaries from other Provinces on occasion, but ultimately she'd never had a prolonged relationship with anybody who wasn't an Altmer. Being raised in the Dominion and by Thalmor, she was wary and hesitant of them and was unsure of what they would be like. Little did she know, they were as skeptical of her and she was of them, and there were a number of higher ups who bitterly disliked her because of her mother's actions. The blackmail was, luckily, enough to keep them from interfering.[/hider]
