She settled down to a life of hunting deer and elk in Skyrim, however the general anti-dunmer sentiment she felt there made her go to Cyrodill, where she joined the Kvatch Fighter's Guild.

Guardsmen saved him and his mother, and Martin Septim, with the Champion of Cyrodiil at his side, banished Mehrunes Dagon and his minions to Oblivion.

Name: Erith Vanne
Race: Breton
Age: 29
Physical Description: Erith is a slight, somewhat mousy girl with long chestnut hair. Her green eyes are aloof and penetrating, and her mouth little more than a thin white line. Despite this, she's somewhat pretty, with thick eyelashes and soft facial features. Erith is of average weight and height for a female Breton.
Personality: Cool and mysterious, clever and confident, wise and a little eccentric. She's a serious, grim woman, and devout to the Mistress of Shadows. She knows her lady is one of the least likely of all the gods, Aedra or Daedra, to show favor or bless her few followers, but she feels somewhat connected to Nocturnal and is perfectly okay with the goddess's coldness and mystery. Not truly knowing the motivations of who she is worshiping yet still being fervent in her love of Nocturnal grants her a certain degree of independence that other witches (and cultists of Daedra, priests of Aedra, and the religious all over Tamriel alike) do not have.
Class / Profession: Witch of Nocturnal
Weapons / Equipment: Steel dagger, Book Ten of 2920: Last Year of the First Era, Purloined Shadows, Paralysis Poison, mortar and pestle, satchel, 120 gold
Clothing / Armor: Simple black robes, black boots (both TES V style), a black cloak
One Major Skill: Conjuration
Two Minor Skills: Mysticism, Alchemy
Background: Erith was born in a little collection of cottages south of Daggerfall. She was raised there with a coven of witches devoted to Mephala. When her education from the coven began, she wasn't actually sure if she wanted to serve the coven's goddess. Her mother always told her Mephala would grant her the most gifts, as long as she was conniving and cruel, and her grandmother always said that Vaermina would teach her things few witches would ever know. . but when she was taught of all the Daedra, Nocturnal stood out most to her. Despite this, she stayed with the coven for most of her life and didn't leave until she was nineteen. Her mother and grandmother understood that she wanted to find herself. Starting her journey, she traveled to Hammerfell alone, all the while still worshiping Mephala . . . though throughout the years she has tried worshiping Vaermina, Azura, Molag Bal and Hircine as well, none stood out to her like the enigma Nocturnal. She lived in Hammerfell for ten years, expanding on her magical abilities while there, becoming even more adept at Conjuration magic. She lived in Hegathe, but traveled throughout Hammerfell during her time there. She left recently and journeyed to Cyrodiil, hoping to learn more there and eventually go to Skyrim and then back to High Rock to see her mother and grandmother.
Relationships (with NPCs or other PCs): She doesn't know her father, but her mother is a witch of Mephala that lives in High Rock and her grandmother was a witch of Vaermina before coming to live with her mother's coven. She knows no other relatives and almost no one in the city.
You are in the Imperial City because… Erith is just a traveler that happens to be a witch, that came from High Rock and traveled through Hammerfell before coming to Cyrodiil on her way to Skyrim. She is awed by the city and has stayed there for nearly a week, renting a room in a place known as Luther Broad's Boarding House.
Bonus detail (any detail) about your character: Despite being a witch and follower of Nocturnal, Erith actually despises thieves. She considers them unworthy of Nocturnal's luck, as most of them barely even care for the goddess, let alone revere her. Shadow hide you indeed.
