Amelia High Elf Destruction, Restoration, Alteration, Alchemy Clothing Only Born of the Aldmeri Ruling Class, Amelia was kidnapped at birth, the result of a mostly-failed attempt to destroy the Dominion from within. Brought to Morrowind, she was raised to worship the Daedra as many of the dark elves do. At a young age she was introduced into the priesthood, and by the age of 14 she was already a Arch-High-Priestess in one of the most important cults in the region. All of her history, save for two things, were utterly destroyed; her tattoo, a symbol of her destiny, which was found to be impossible to remove. Additionally, from the moment she was kidnapped, her hair turned to pure white.
Curious about the meaning of her unusual symbol and strange hair, she began to research her origins in secret, using the power of the priesthood to aid in her search for her past. Relying on the aid of her sole friend, the lowly monk Avestiani Telvanni(himself an outcast), and the considerable power she wielded as a priestess, she slowly uncovered the truth. Just as she was about to reveal the final revelation about her origins however, her hidden project was discovered by the high priests of her order. In order to keep her under control, her rank was removed and Avestiani was kidnapped, held as collateral for good behavior, and she was banished from the realm under guard.
This turned out to be a fortunate sequence of events for her, however; due to her escape from the area, she was able to avoid the turmoil that followed, and using her wiles was able to escape her guard mere days after hearing the news of her friends; her friend had gone missing, but not before delivering one final message; the truth of her birth.
Immediately she traveled to the Sumerset Isle, seeking to claim her birthright with hopes of convincing the Aldmeri Dominion to invade Morrowind, both to destroy the people who had betrayed her, and, she hoped, to rescue her single friend, should he still be living. The instant she set sail for the isle, however, everything turned against her. Storms besieged her ship, and rotten ropes seemed to multiply; leaky barrels contaminated their food supply, forcing them to reduce rations. By the time she arrived, she was a scrawny parody of her original self, and when she arrived at the Court, she was laughed away by the guards, who called her papers, the final message from he friend, simply clever forgeries, before burning them before her eyes and throwing her from the city.
Furious and heartbroken, feeling betrayed by both the Daedra she had once worshipped and the race that was meant to be her family, she turned against everything she had ever known, she began a path of bloody revenge, gathering every daedric artifact she could find in a relentless quest to use the artifacts of one daedra against the nirnly power of another, with hopes of inspiring war between the heavenly powers, weakening them until she could gain enough power to challenge them on their own terms, and then to return to morrowind to destroy the priesthood that had condemned her to a life of wandering. She hoped that with the priesthoods destroyed, she could sieze power, marshalling armies to march on the Sumerset Isle and finally claim her rightful place as royalty.
Until then, she carves a flaming path of destruction across skyrim, seeking out the daedra in their high places to seek their artifacts, regardless of the cost. And when the time comes...she will strike. And all of Nirn will tremble.
