The iron wheels grind against stone, the carriage lurching over the uneven road. Dust and the scent of pine hang in the cold air as you sit on coarse wood, the rope biting your wrists. A Nord beside you shifts, his breath a white cloud in the dim light. He turns, his eyes meeting yours. "Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there." The thief opens his mouth, but the Imperial driver cuts him off: "Shut up back there!" The Nord holds your gaze—what's your story, you?
