The Nightblade Hiring Process

Aryon: … how soon can you start?

I just thought it would be hilarious if Steen put “Blades Informant” on her resume – broadcasting her deepest darkest secret – because it is relevant work history! She doesn’t want a gap there, that’d look bad 😉 Also, I find the idea of a nightblade writing a resume at all to be hilarious. Also also I find “pharmacist” written in quotations to be hilarious. I’m easily amused, you see.

I’ve always imagined that Steen was hired for Master Aryon’s covert ops team and made her way up to spymaster. It is her job to take care of all the quiet work, so Aryon can keep his hands clean and be a public figure.

Field Work

“It’s quiet time, hinny.”

“Nightblades are spellcasters who use their magics to enhance mobility, concealment, and stealthy close combat. They have a sinister reputation, since many nightblades are thieves, enforcers, assassins, or covert agents.” – Nightblade description from The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Just Steen doing a bit of field work. She has a very particular set of talents.

I also recently started imagining that Steen calls everybody “hinny” like the tod in Richard Adams’ “Plague Dogs.” Like calling everybody “sweety” or “honey.” It just makes her seem particularly roguish.

The Lady of Uvirith (Better Together)

This is an admittedly bizarre idea that was cracking me up for a while. So even though it is incredibly surreal and meta, I drew it anyway.
Basically, I was wondering who was the Lord/Lady of Uvirith when you don’t join House Telvanni. Turns out Reynel Uvirith is the Lady of Uvirith. But I died laughing when I saw the picture because Reynel Uvirith has the exact same face and robes and hair color/texture etc as my Steen did. So as a joke I decided that Reynel Uvirith was Steen and that Steen was Reynel Uvirith. Reynel “Steen” Uvirith, I guess.
So this hypothetical bizarro-Steen, let’s call her Neets, never joined House Telvanni and wishes to go see who ended up becoming Aryon’s protege and building Tel Uvirith anyway.

Congratulations Aryon, now you have two of them! (Steen is known to be a challenging protege)
