note: a few ideas in this-a few races, regions, a few names, and a few places- are in a way, taken from Bethesda Software's 'Elder Scrolls' series. But most ideas are fresh out of my head. Please don't be unfair {ex: "My army just burned your base and killed you"} and please dont be so unrealistic {ex: "As I was surrounded by enemies, I used my magic teleport power to get to safety" or "I used my Fire attack and killed all of my attackers, and then gathered a large army and took over the Fort."} well anyway... enjoy.

Intro:
Arathor,a Half Imperial, Half Nord, Imperial Blade. The Blades are the eyes and ears of the Emperor. They are trained in the arts of stealth. This mission, however, was an oddity. Arathor was used to spying on Orcish and Aragornian settlements, but never had to attack them. He was used to killing men of importance who resisted against the Empire, but never was involved in an organized attack. It was orders straight from Cecil Ergalla, the Blade Leader in Vivec. He was once a general who fought in the 'Bitter Coast War' 25 years before this. It was a 5 year long war caused by Dumner attemps to drive out the Empire. House Seta, a nobel house which held political power in the Bitter Coast region, instigated a rebellion against the Empire. It was from influence by a local Dumner Cult, which wanted to drive out the Humans from Vvardenfell and claim Morrowind. Cecil lead a succesful attack against the Seta Council District and helped quell the rebellion. Even though the Seta Military Leaders wer executed, some of the Cult members fled to the mountains. Some say that they fled to Red Mountain, though it is unlikely due to rumors of Vampires and Great Monsters living there. Anyway, it would be hard to spot these Cult members among the Dumner, or 'Dark Elves' -as the Imperials call them- which make up 50% of Morrowind's population. {other races including Imperials, Nords, Bretons, High Elves, Wood Elves, Orcs, Aragornians, Khajiit, Asmer, and others which make up the other 50%.}
Arathor had very unusual orders. Cecil sent him, along with a party of 50 other Blades to attack a Orcish Settlement 24 miles east of Khuul {a small fishing village loyal to House Redoran.} These Orcs attack merchants and Caravans. The blades were ordered to exterminate them.
"We are 3 miles west of the caverns." said Brutin {a Breton, he was the leader of this group of Blades} "We are ordered to exterminate these 'animals'." {This what what Humans and Elves thought of Orcs and Aragornians, though human's didn't understand that that is what Elves thought of them as well.} Klyde, the second in command was a full Dumner. He hated it that Brutin, a human, was above him. He thought "You think your so big you thick headed bastard." Brutin never seemed to notice {that's just how thick headed he is}. Klyde looked at Arathor with hatred and scorn as well. Arathor was an amazing swordsman, and a fine Spy. He was only 18 years old when he became a Blade, this was his third year.
The blades had gotten their weapons and light armor, and marched 2 and a half miles. Then they stealthily moved onto the caverns. But something was wrong. The area was quiet. Two Blades snuck within the vicinity of the caverns.One then came rushing back, with a face as pale as an egg. he cried out that the entire settleent was destroyed. Alll of the Orcish Bandits and Rebels' bobies were stuffed inside the Caverns. Then Brutin lead the party into the Caverns. Though Klyde said that he would stay behind with six men, in case of an ambush.Arathor witnessed heads stuck on pikes. He saw body part hung on the walls as if they were trophies. One dead Orc laid with a Black arrow in each of his eyes. Arathor then noticed that many of the dead were wounded by black arrows. Then he heard yelling. He and the others rushed out the entrance, only to be met by flying arows coming form the woods. One of the arrows hit Arathor. He then saw Dozens of Dark skinned Elves coming from each side of the woods armed with Swords, Spears, and Clubs. He nearly stared death in the face, but did what ever he could to get away. He looked each direction, for a ditch, or a well, and then noticed an 'Ahd Rah' {a ditch in an Orcish settlement in which the hunters throw in leftover game, which they save for the next feast. Arathor didn't mind the dead 'Nomad Fox' and threw himself in, pretending to have died of the arrow wound. It seemed that the hooded attackers didn't even notice him...
