Sister of the Light![]()
“-And from the ashes of her past, she rose like a phoenix, unbroken and renewed. Then, in her ascent, she cleaved through the shadows, burning away the darkness, and brought the Light to those who needed it most.” –On the ascent of Knight-Sister Guinevere to the seat of High Matron
A Sister of the Light is a member of an all-female, all-Breton order that worships and utilizes the power of an entity they call “The Light.” Members of the Order of the Light can perform miracles from healing wounds, to conjuring magical gouts of holy flames. The Sisters of the Light make up for what they lack in offensive capabilities with their unsurpassed defenses against things of both magical and mundane natures. This is not to say they are incapable of taking the offensive when going toe-to-toe with an opponent.
Concepts
I created this character out of the fact that I had grown a bit tired of always killing everything in one hit, even when on the highest difficulty. And though the end game of this build will essentially be immortal, she will not be your standard Ultra-Tank 5000 that mows down the enemy before they can even get a hit in. No, this build focuses on survivability and defenses, allowing you to draw out a fight, taking hits as you dish out respectable damage.
This character is not/doesn’t have to be your standard, demon-hunting paladin, instead, think of this character as focusing on helping people and doing good, but still eliminating evil whenever and wherever she meets it. Your character would be of a lawful-good alignment, thus she would not be taken to thieves or assassins or vampire-lords bent on bringing about eternal darkness. This character is also not a “mage,” despite her prowess in restoration and alteration (and dabbling in destruction), as such she would feel no excessive need to seek the teachings of mages, though this is entirely up to the player.

Play-style Tips 
Always perform benevolent tasks for individuals, and turn away rewards, when possible
- Do NOT kill the innocent!
- No husbands, you are essentially a nun. (Or if you do get married, just… pretend it’s a chaste marriage)
- No performing malevolent acts such as thievery or murder without just cause, and definitely no cannibalism. (That also means no Thieves Guild and no Dark Brotherhood and no becoming a Vampire Lord)
- Try to stick to roads and cities, helping those who need it
- No calling upon the evils of the world for power (Exceptions include Peryite and Meridia, the latter of whom is not considered completely evil.)
- You are no sneak, face your enemy with courage and purpose
Now, go forth, Sister, and bring The Light to every corner of Skyrim.
