27th of Last Seed, 3E 433
The little ones love when I tell this story.
Our Father, Constantius Rulician, was no mere farmer in his youth. Nay, he was decorated warrior, one who helped right our beloved Cyrodiil during the aftermath of the calamity that was Jagar Tharn. From the Colovian Highlands to the edge of the Blackwood, Father hunted dreaded beasts and cleared vile dens of the filth that arose from Tharn's grasp of the province. One such feat occurred right here, just outside our home of Cropsford...
Our neighbors, Aloys and Callia, along with Callia's father, Barthel, had recently left High Rock due to the strange occurrences surrounding the Warp in the West in hopes of finding a new life on the outskirts of the Imperial City. They bought the land we live on today but soon found that it was quite inhospitable due to the warring goblin clans of Cracked Wood Cave and Timberscar Hollow. Unable to defend themselves from the frequent onslaught they faced from both sides, the trio of settlers took their final stand, praying to Arkay as the Rock Biter and Bloody Hand approached from both sides...
At that moment, armor gleaming in the sunlight, Father rode up on Rei, his trusty steed, and lopped off the head of the closest goblin with his steel great-sword, Vir. Quickly dismounting, he drew his second great-sword of silver, Vit, and with a devastating whirl ended four more approaching goblins. Angry and uncertain, both goblin tribes charged Father, hoping to end this new threat before returning to their petty war. Unfortunately for them, Father was up to the task. Both blades dancing, father moved back and forth, taking out members from both tribes until finally it was just him and the two opposing Shamans...
Pointing Vir at one and Vit at the other, Father let out of roaring boom, "This ends here! You will return from whence you came peacefully, or you will face the same fate as your brethren!" Screaming in anger, both Shamans jumped backwards and began to prepare their final spells that would assuredly break this human warrior apart. Too far now to reach both goblins in time, father looked to the sky, lifted both his blades above his head, and with the strength of two men, flung each blade straight at the opposing spell casters. There was no time for the shamans to react as each blade sank straight into their hearts, ending both of their lives and their war simultaneously...
