Winter's bite, Summer's embrace

After spending two decades imprisoned on the Summerset Isles, Minerva managed to escape her golden cage. Her journey lead her through Valenwood and Cyrodiil back to her homeland, Skyrim. In hope to learn more about magic, she decided to head to the College of Winterhold but was quickly mistaken as a Stormcloak rebel. Imprisoned again, she and the other Stormcloaks escaped after the Black Winged dragon hit the town of Helgen. Even before the incident she was determined to avenge her family's death and kill as many Thalmor as she could. Luckily, the Jarl of Windhelm was happy to lend her his help, after they won the civil war, of course.
