   Summary

   Surviving the dragon attack at Helgen by the skin of their teeth, three elves find themselves tossed into the midst of ancient legends, a civil war, and a hell of a lot of problems. They may all have different reasons for being in Skyrim, but if they have any hope of reaching their destinations alive, it lies in learning to trust their strange new companions... no matter what.
