"I don't know why Tava has sent me to this cold land of Skyrim, but I will soon find out."
The Redguard people were guided to Tamriel by a mysterious Spirit of the Air when their homeland was consumed by the sea. They called this spirit Tava, and she was revered by the ancient Redguards. There remains a secluded sect of female warriors who have devoted themselves to the worship of the Air Spirit. Their order dates back to the founding of Hammerfell, and it has continued for generations. The most powerful fighter within this sect is bestowed the title of Lady.
The Lady is a blade-master who is enhanced by her understanding of the Air Spirit. Constant martial training has shaped her into a precise killing machine, and her connection to Tava provides her with the power and grace of the wind. Her kinship with the air also equips her with an uncanny ability to naturally heal faster than most.
Whenever Nirn itself seems to be in peril, Tava communicates with the Lady and sends her to where she's needed. With the return of the World Eater imminent, the Lady was swiftly deployed to Skyrim. Unfortunately, she was captured by imperial soldiers on her way into the province...

Scimitar
Scimitar (Enchanted)

Gameplay
The Lady Stone provides a health and stamina regeneration bonus, and this build emphasizes that restoration theme. You will be an unstoppable whirlwind, constantly regenerating enough stamina to keep you at peak performance
Enchant your main-hand scimitar with 1 point of absorb stamina. Since you only need one stamina point to start a power attack, you can constantly chain dual power attacks as long as your previous ones make contact. These dual wielded power attacks are devastating because they break an opponent’s block and stagger them briefly. They also do a metric ****ton of damage!
DO NOT enchant your offhand scimitar with anything. Dual attack speed is determined by the offhand weapon, so if it remains naked, you can use Elemental Fury to become a tornado of carnage and sharp edges.
Also note that the 1 point absorb stamina should last for about 700 or so hits. Basically infinite.
As a rule, keep your Smithing at about the same level as your Light Armor. Grab the dwarven smithing perk to make dwarven bows for fast leveling.
Combat
The Lady has several tricks for dealing with her foes in Skyrim.
Quests
Early Steps:
College of Winterhold- Absorb stamina enchantment found during last quest (Drainheart Sword)
Main Quest - unlock dragon shouts
Become Ethereal - first word found in Ustengrav on the Main Quest
Help out the ladies of Skyrim. Notable examples include:
Elisif the Fair
Mjoll the Lioness
Ysolda
Saadia
Danica Pure-Spring
Fralia Gray-Mane
Many More!
Other Quests:
The main quest is your big target, but there are no quests that are out of bounds here. The Lady is magically talented, a deadly warrior, and is light on her feet. She's a versatile warrior suited to any task.
Final Notes
Adrenaline Rush will come in handy until you get the drain stamina enchantment
Whirlwind cloak (DB) would fit the build well
I joined the Stormcloaks because Hammerfell has also seceded from the empire to fight the Dominion. I figured the Lady would empathize with the Nord plight
Gameplay Demo (Legendary Difficulty)
Become Etherial is used to avoid the deadly Unrelenting Force shouts.
The Lady vs Two Dragons was a tough fight, but she makes relatively short work of these beasts

I must have an older version of the patch. I suppose she'd still be plenty powerful without elemental fury, but it was a lot of fun to attack faster than light haha.

I was wondering how the Lady stone would be treated... I thought it would be a tricky stone to build a theme around, but you do a great job keeping finding and sticking with your thematic construction for the build.
BTW, if you help find the Sibyl, you get rewarded with Agent of Dibella, which adds 10% damage to all melee encounters against members of the opposite sex (in this case, against men :D).
Again, great job on this one!

Great work, I really enjoyed reading about redguards. The only (minor) thing that seems out of place to me is the amulet of Talos. Why would she wear an amulet of a foreign god when she is the champion of a Redguard one? (i'm really curious of your thoughts behind that piece of equipment)
I would think the thematic necklace for a follower of a wind-goddess would be a necklace of kynareth if any divine amulet at all. Is it just for gameplay reasons?

Hmm interesting build here. Not what I was expecting from a Lady Stone build but still interesting. I'd say it's a little short for my liking but that's why it's not my build and it still seems like a fun character to play but yeah I wouldn't mind a little more backstory to it. (I say that about most builds I'm just a backstory fanatic,)
+1 from me for a really cool and solid build.

I always run into this dilemma when making a build for the blog. Every build I make comes with a very long and thought out back-story, but I never feel right about posting it all because I don't want to drown out the gameplay sections.
Basically, I don't want to alienate readers by posting a long complicated back-story.. especially in a crowd of readers who enjoy developing their own back-stories.

Fair enough mate I have the same problems with getting the length right, you should have seen my first build. Perks, backstory, backstory and then more backstory.
