    Hey David, 

    fantastic build, +1 for the Aurora Knight! I have a question though, when roleplaying as the Aurora Knight, what do you recommend doing the first 12 levels as a proving? Do I start the first few quests of the main story line so that dragons can spawn? Or do I have to complete personal quests for citizens?

    I can't wait to play this character!

    Cheers!

    Thanks for the kind words! I'd recommend starting the main quest as it is pretty forward and necessary for the rest of the play through. Of course you can mix in other quests but this should be the priority

    Aren't marked for death and drain vitality necromatic shouts but other wise good +1

    Marked for Death isn't necessarily necromantic. It can pretty easily be RPed as a poison shout, an alteration shout or even a demoralizing shout. Drain Vitality does seem pretty dark/necro, though.

    If you look at it from the inspiration of Blood Elves, they drained the magic out of foes to use against them while helping them get healthier/stronger. Kinda like making the foe weaker and draining stats might work; remember, this isn't the typical Paladin who is all good, this is more like a judge (Judge Dread anyone?) who thinks she/he is right while the rest is evil.

    Thanks for checking my build :) It's appreciated.

    Robert's interpretation is accurate. The Blood Elves of WoW drain magic energy out of their foes or any magical being to heal/power up themselves. It's a natural ability and not necessarily evil.

    Also you said +1 but actually you didn't click the button

    Pretty accurate explanation ;) I also like the comparison with Judge Dredd. I never thought about it in that way. Though, the Aurora Knight has a larger sense of morales than the Judges and is not as strict with opinions.

    1. Awesome lore and role-playing

    2. Love High Elf builds that aren't pure mage

    3. Love High Elf builds that aren't Thalmor (bonus points for being enemies of the Thalmor)

    Overall, awesome build. Easily Liked.
