Sabine tilted her head and looked aside. "From a certain point of view, yes. Daedric Princes cannot be harmed by us normally. But they are vulnerable to parts of themselves. Artefacts they make are part of themselves. We were looking for something called the Rueful Axe. An axe Vile made. We were going to turn it into a weapon, find a way into Vile's domain, and use it to weaken him. Thus weakened, Hircine can attack. Defeating Vile will not kill the Daedric Prince. It will force him into a weak torpor, though. And we can take back the souls he stole and release them in the process."

Sabine nodded and quickly added. "And the Empire and Dominion. They found us first. They could have destroyed us, but it would be expensive, time-consuming, and we would fight back. So, in secret from the wider population, they are...finding a way to 'assimilate' the clans as subjects, in exchange for their help and protection. We negotiated a level of autonomy. Progress has been slow with them and yet without them we may have lost the war. Mostly they send captured lycans to us instead of executing them." She gave Do'Rhajul a sideways glance. "The Empire even wants lycan legionnaires as a secret project. Lycans with good control and skill. Both can be trained."

Despite the uncertainty of sharing as much as she was, Sabine had now long put aside the notions that Do'Rhajul and Yerig were threats.
