Our hero stumbles across the city of Markarth, in the Reach hold. While here, he discovers an abandoned house, of which a Vigil of Stendarr member is already searching inside, for a supposed Daedra. Inside the house is normal, everything is fresh. But then, the door is locked, and a creature speaks to our hero. They are given a choice. Fight to the death, or be killed and become enslaved by the very Daedra in their heads. What will they decide?
