  Prologue

   Being an old elf of failing memory and having a story of great importance and perhaps greater length, I have long felt the need to share my tale; however, I have also felt that my aging tongue lacks the necessary skill to recount it all as it happened without boring my audience into a rather deep sleep. For that reason, I have kept my story within me, contemplating how I might tell it all without permitting the recounting of the tale to either fall short or embellish the excitement of the actual events. In hopes that the written word rather than the spoken shall be more reliable, I have taken up pen and parchment in attempts to retell the story.

  Between the binding of the book you now hold in your hands follows a tale you may perhaps regard as fantastical or even fictional, but I assure you that it is both a true and exciting tale, but more importantly it is a firsthand account of the adventures of the Dovahkiin in the days of the Dragon Crisis.
