The Riverwatch tower in south-eastern Cyrodiil appears to have be abandoned, but as I ride closer I notice a robed figure trying to break down the door. Dismounting to investigate further, as I approach the tall robed figure turns towards me, and he and his cronies attack without hesitation. If I had been a passing pilgrim, a tradesman, a refugee, or any other innocent Cyrodil coming to this watchtower for aid, I would no doubt now be but a victim. Unluckily for Absolon and the rest of these Aldmeri Irregulars however, I have seen far too many winters to be caught out by their unprovoked attack.

I guess it could be my Imperial armour that triggers these rash acts of violence against me, for I seem to be getting attacked from all sides in Cyrodiil, including the scattered Imperial units. But no matter the danger, I shan’t be changing my armour just to appease others. I wear the emblem of the red diamond with pride, as a symbol of the spirit of Alessia, the virtues of Akatosh, and the oath I took to protect the Imperial Province upon joining the Legion. Others might hide their vows, I wear mine upon my chest.
