Arai meets some Nords from Thirsk Mead Hall

About this image

Leaving his companions to rest in Tel Mithryn, Arai is restless in trying out his newly enchanted Telvanni Wizard-Lord robes out in battle. So he heads out from Tel Mithryn due north. He finds some Dwemer ruins but feels no desire in getting wet so he keeps on further. Much to his dismay, he finds ugh.. more Nords

They say they're from the Thirsk Mead Hall nearby and that they were chased out by Rieklings. They ask for Arai's help but he gruffly shakes his head. Some burly, dimwit bear of Nord growls, "What did you expect from an elf, much less a Dark Elf?!" At which, Arai just smiles, exposing his elongated vampiric canines. They back away and leave Arai on his way. Arai has long set his mind on exterminating these vermin, but first Arai must meet these Rieklings... what are they? An enemy of my enemy is my friend, after all...
