Thief [Skyrim]

Cold. Chilled blood and wind-whipped cheeks, fires not nearly hot enough to reach the high, drafty, cavernous ceilings that every home in the city seemed to have. Intricate carvings in the stone and woodwork too layered with ashen dirt and grime to be fully admired. Soot -- from the braziers in each quarter -- littering the snow and stamped into the frosted streets. Drinking water provided through melting chunks of ice over burning flame. That was all Jeremiah ever knew.

Suddenly, the world he thought bleak, mediocre, and cruel had given him a new opportunity: adventure.

*NOTE* "CURRENTLY" EDITING - This book was originally intended to be an Elder Scrolls AU of a group of modern office setting OCs created by myself and my fiancé. I am currently returning to that idea and therefore a lot of the characters will be changing names and/or gender. Some races or roles might shift to other characters. The plot however will have no other major alterations. It'll still be the same story!

Current character changes: Bexima to Jeremiah (still half-Nord, half-Breton). Lysandriel to Dendriel (Falmer to Bosmer, role is identical). Salma, never written in published chapters, to Oleta (still Redguard, role is being altered very slightly).
