[b]Backstory:[/b] 
Finrod Morningstar, born in Skywatch, Summerset Isles, in 4E 140, was a skilled High Elf mage conscripted into the Aldmeri Dominion during the Great War (4E 171-175). His skills in Alteration, Destruction, and Restoration magic made him a formidable force on the battlefield.

However, the brutality of the conflict and the Thalmor's oppressive policies left Finrod disillusioned. Witnessing the suffering inflicted upon others in the name of Elven supremacy, he grew to become disgusted with the Dominion's methods. The war's end in 4E 175 marked a turning point, and Finrod chose not to return to Summerset.

Rejecting Thalmor ideologies, he sought refuge in Skyrim, particularly Whiterun, to distance himself from the Dominion's influence. The local tavern, The Bannered Mare, became his sanctuary, a place to share tales and drown sorrows. As a mercenary, Finrod, now independent of Thalmor allegiance, used his magical expertise to navigate the diverse landscapes of Skyrim, forging bonds with those who shared his disdain for injustice and oppression.

Wielding Elven magic, he seeks redemption in Skyrim, attempting to escape the shadows of a Thalmor-tainted past. The tavern's dim corners and the city's ancient stones now bear witness to his journey of self-discovery and healing.
