A BASTARD BORN OF TWO DYNASTIES. His only saving grace: a father too fond to abandon him. He funded the boy’s tutelage with hope he’d one day make something respectable of himself and rise above illegitimacy.Though Zehairas was gifted, every magocrat and tutor he studied beneath rejected him for his irreverent arrogance and lack of focus. Desperately seeking to inculcate him with discipline, his father sent him Shad Astula. Even among strict academics, he squandered his opportunities and failed even the lowest of expectations. In a last ditch effort to lance his disobedience, his father shipped him to Vivec City to train as a Buoyant Armiger.The Initiate barely lasted a fortnight before he ran away and struck it out on his own with what remained of more-than-modest provisions. He fell in with the foul; among the likes of the Camonna Tong, he found a life that suited him. Trafficking. Trading. Theft. Some short while later, he befriended one TELVANNI VAYOSHA ULVAREN, a sharp-witted young sorceress whose wealth and ambition he could smell from afar. He cozied up to her and ingratiated himself with her friends as a charming, if corrupting influence— introducing her and her circle to vice and skooma galore.Zehairas’s taste for the profane soon carried him into her mother’s service, working the deck of a slaving vessel. When Covenant privateers struck in the heat of the Three Banners War, the ship’s captain was slain. Zehairas seized the moment and led a mutiny against the First Mate to take the vessel for his own. Charged with leadership, he discovered himself. He kept the ship afloat, the crew in line, the raids coordinated, the slaves in shackles, and the drams flowing. For once, he had something worth boasting. The bastard’s return impressed the elder Ulvaren, who indulged his ambition by bolstering his enterprise into a small fleet. He went on to run her contracts for many years, striking terror throughout Pyandonea and earning notoriety from Thras to Tear.He’s a bastard, a dropout, a deserter, and a degenerate—but a shrewd mutineer who seized a crown at sea.

about the writer ••●••

I’ve been roleplaying for most of my life — not as a dungeon master, but as a storyteller. I enjoy building grounded, immersive, and collaborative plots with like-minded people who treat roleplay as more than a DND session or second life. That is not to disparage those enjoy that like kind of stuff, it just isn’t my thing.My writing has a tendency to be very grimdark and dystopian, with a deep focus on immersion and world building. My goal is to make the setting feel lived-in and appropriately scaled, with themes that often serve as allegories for real-world injustice while still appropriate for the setting; like crooked politics, religious persecution, indigenous exploitation, and class conflict. Beyond real life allegories, I also embrace what makes Dunmer culture so different by exemplifying their bizarre, unexplainable customs, beliefs, and traditions that make this corner of the universe so rich and unique.Needless to say, the roleplay I like isn’t for the faint of heart. I don’t shy away from real, raw, and overwhelmingly adult elements. You’ll find everything from murder and torture, to debauched hedonism, drug trafficking and addiction, cult ritualism, and more. The idea is not to assault people with shock value. It’s to create a lived-in, interactive experience that’s feels almost too real. I prefer even basic “slice of life” to have context, reason, and meaning.
I gravitate toward writing flawed antagonists — monsters of society and circumstance. Characters shaped by the systems they try to claw to the top of or seek to break. They don’t exist to dunk on people nor be dunked on, but to be catalysts of conflict and drama. To present others with character-defining moments through hard choices they’re forced to make.Though their ambitions may be lofty, know that any goals whose completion would be lore-breaking exist to be foiled.
