    This build is awesome and definitely deserves more recognition around here. I've got a question, though, and I know that you probably intend to have the players fill this out, but I'm curious. Why is The Mane in Skyrim? It just seems rather strange for me to have the king of a province just casually wandering around in a far away land. Was he escaping of the political turbulences that came with The Throne of Elsweyr? Or perhaps was he sent there to hone his skills and become a more powerful leader? I really would like to know what you thought, what was your reasoning behind it. But like I said, great build, easily one of my favorites around here. Definitely gonna be trying this soon.

    Thanks for the comment, mate!

    I did actually intend to have players fill it in for their own playthrough, since a Mane who is exeedingly pro-Thalmor and came to parley with them or assist in their efforts in conquering would be probably more hard or cruel than a Mane who goes on more of a traveling pilgrimage to the Throat of the World (a sacred place for Kyne, so why not Khenarthi?), and this build is written with a particularly jovial character in mind, but we all like an evil king.

    My own playthrough had the Mane being sent there as part of a democratic peace tour, having traveled to other provinces to spread tolerance of his people, which hardly got any better since they joined the Dominion.

    Ahh, I see. Intelligent justification. Thanks for responding!
