Important Characters

Frea Crag-Strider

Frea is the daughter of Storn Crag-Strider. When Miraak began to seize control of Solstheim, she was with her father and was protected from Miraak’s mind control. Her friends were not so fortunate and haven’t been seen in quite some time. While her father focused on protecting the village, she devised a way to make that protection portable so that she could attempt to find out what has happened. With a special talisman to keep her safe, she’s made it to the top of the strange temple in the center of Solstheim, looking for answers.

Storn Crag-Strider

Storn is the Skaal shaman, the spiritual advisor to the tribe. Stoic and patient, the Skaal look to him in times of difficulty for guidance and comfort. He communes with the land and calls upon the power of the All-Maker, the creator and sustainer, to protect them. Times have grown harder of late, and now his people have been shattered by the loss of most of the tribe to some unknown dark magic. At the last moment, Storn was able to shield the remaining few of his people from this spell, but it is taking all of his concentration to maintain the barrier, and he can’t keep it up forever.

Neloth

Master Neloth is the Telvanni wizard who dwells in Tel Mithryn. Neloth seems to have difficultly with the concept that other people matter. He judges their health and well-being solely based on his personal comfort and needs. That said, he is no fool. He recognizes power and that power in others must be respected. At this point in his life, he has given up kidnapping women. He claims that it no longer interests him. Once you’ve kidnapped someone, you have to put up with their whining and complaining. It just isn’t worth it.

Miraak

Miraak was the first Dragonborn. His destiny may have been to defeat Alduin back in the Mythic Era, but he chose a different path: to use his Dragonborn abilities to gain power for himself. Originally a dragon priest, he was seduced by Hermaeus Mora and secretly became his disciple. He gathered a cult to Hermaeus Mora at his temple on Solstheim.

Eventually, the other dragon priests discovered Miraak’s heresy and led a crusade against him. He was defeated, his followers killed or scattered, and his temple razed. But Miraak was able to escape into Hermaeus Mora’s realm of Apocrypha, where he has been growing in knowledge and power over the centuries while he waited for a chance to return.

Hermaeus Mora

Hermaeus Mora is the Daedric Prince of Knowledge, he who scryes the tides of Fate, weaving his way through the past and future. Always lurking, he is the void and the ever-seeing eyes. He resides everywhere and nowhere but takes glee in tormenting mortals from his realm in Oblivion, the plane called Apocrypha, where the infinite pages of countless books containing all forbidden knowledge are found.
