◈ 2E577 | Sun's Dusk
Raised under the careful, guided hand of Eris Blackthorn, she now has grown into a capable woman, scholar and clerical menace. Her story began in a long, cold winter of Skyrim, south of Solitude when her mother's carriage was attacked by maurauders. Unknown assassins had slain her family and seemingly her until Eris discovered the grim scene with locals as she was on her way to make trade into the great city. Nursing the child alongside her elder sister to health, she adopted her when no one else wanted to them in. She honed her skills magically and technically and learnt every part of the trade, just like the rest raised under the woman's care. In particular, she learnt of skills similar to that of a Vateshran, the art of storytelling and verbal historical accounts beneath the watchful gaze of the Raven-Seer clan. Beautiful, fair and good with a quill as well as she was with bound weaponry, she researched her way throughout the lands as the trio traveled.
◈ 2E593 | Evening Star
Now that Treasa has liquidated the business and it's assets, she's found her calling formally as an ally and manager to her elder sister. Traveling throughout Tamriel documenting every song worth singing, she hopes to find what will memorialize her family's name for time unending.

❈ Hooks ❈


common

↠ Blackthorn Family | Blood of The Covenant
After Eris Blackthorn decided to hand over all business and land to Treasa Blackthorn, she returned from her scholarly pursuits with the Mages Guild or the University of Gwylim to take to her sibling's side. After reconciling from a spat ages past, they now work together in Cyrodiil to make use of what remains.
↠ Knowledge is Power | Scholastic Pursuits
Unlike her mercenary and mercantile oriented siblings, she pursued all avenues of knowledge. While good with a dagger, she herself is not the sort to engage in much combat. Better left to duties regarding paperwork, organization and documentation, she is the backbone of the duo.

uncommon

↠ Stranger Beginnings | The Path That Started It All
Treasa and Asteria were found nearly dead, alongside the corpse of their birth mother in Skyrim on a dark, snowy day sixteen years ago. She was taken in and given a choice. Die alongside her helpless matron or join her sister in their quest for more. She chose revenge. But once she was established, her pursuits lent her elsewhere once they took matters into their own hands. The two siblings do not speak of what happened, instead simply vowing to one another to remain silent on the matter.
