"The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire."

The adage is older than Sentinel itself and its truth ate at you day after day while you practiced with the rest of Tava's warrior maidens. The order was a shade of its former self, not even large enough to retain its status as a guild and growing smaller still. It was clear the elders had no intention of providing the flame necessary for greatness, so you sought it elsewhere.

The captain of The Eastway promised smooth passage to Windhelm, seat of Ulfric Stormcloak, a man who'll undoubtedly provide the battlefields where legends are forged. You realized your folly a few days out at sea when you caught a hint of the Seal of Akatosh tattooed to a deckhands bicep. The imperials ambushed you the night after, tossing you into the murky waters along with the other would-be Stormcloak recruits.

You awoke to see the sun again thanks to Tava's benevolent guidance. The ash in the air suggests you aren't far from Solstheim, which itself is not far from Windhelm. A delay in your journey, surely, but all part of a legend's tale.


[REDGUARD]
    Adrenaline Rush : Stamina regenerates 10x faster for 60 seconds.
    Resist Poison : Your Redguard blood gives you 50% resistance to poison.

[BARBARIAN]
    Fearsome brutes who inspire fear and dread in the hearts of their enemies. Like a storm, swift and powerful. Finding little use for heavy armor, they rely on smashing their foes into the ground.

[BLESSING OF THE LADY]
    The Lady : Regenerate Health (15%), Regenerate Stamina (25%), Regenerate Magicka (25%)

[OVERVIEW]
    Tava's spirit flows through you and, through you, your blades. You are the storm itself, a whirlwind of blades that wears down the defense of anyone unfortunate enough to meet it. In your case, the best (and only) defense, is a relentless offense. Stamina management will be the difference between greatness and failure, so make sure never to be caught short on breath.

[IDEAL ENCHANTMENTS]
    WEAPON :
    1. Shock Damage     - This is your main source of Shock damage in the mid-game onward.
    2. Absorb Health    - If you have sustainability issues turning your attacks into heals should help.
    3. Fear/Paralyze    - Crowd control is always a solid choice, though your perks won't improve anything here.

    ARMOR :
    1. Fortify {Offense}    - One-Handed and Destruction will intensify the storm.
    2. Resist Magic     - (Neck/Ring only) It'll be hard to have too much of this.
    3. Fortify Light Armor  - It's also never bad to have more armor.

[ATTRIBUTES]
    35% Health : 25% Magicka : 40% Stamina

After waking up on an island not far from Raven Rock you'll be too busy satisfying basic survival needs to focus on much else. Do what you can to get the 250 septims necessary for completing your journey to Windhelm. After that you can focus on gearing yourself up and paying the bills through Smithing. The other pieces will start falling into place.
