My character is a Nord, originally from Skyrim. She lived in the orphanage at Riften as a child, but due to the abuse, she escaped at age 16. She took to wandering & eventually found herself in Cyrodiil. After several years, she decided she wanted to return to her homeland. Just over the border, she was ambushed by Imperial soldiers. She was caught off guard, knocked on the back of her head, & stripped of all her belongings. Upon waking on the carriage to Helgen, she can only surmise that she was mistaken for a Stormcloak spy. So, basically, wrong place at the wrong time.
