Torchlight bounced off the walls of the dungeon that Gwinduin sought refuge in. When one wanted to perfect a new spell, he must be left to his own devices in solitude, concentrating entirely on nothing but the new incantations before him. For a Bosmer he was short; a minor defect that left him with a nasty temper that gained the respect and fear of his fellow necromancers. He had taken several apprentices over the past year, a Dunmer who flinches at the mention of Morrowind, a couple Nords (one of which was aging priest of Stendarr that contracted Porphyric Hemophilia on a pilgrimage), and a few others he didn't really care to know. They didn't mind either, often kept to themselves and seemed just as ambitious to learn how to master the discipline in raising the dead. A hodge podge group that often grew lazy and stagnant with research and studying the magics of conjuration and often mingled with nearby bandits. Gwinduin didn't really care if they left him alone to work on his spells.
He supposed having fled just enough of a distance from the border of his homeland of Valenwood into Skyrim was a blessing as his first excursion to establish a hideout was riddled with undead. What facinated him with a deep sense of destiny was that the ancient bodies seemed to be animated on their own accord with no true master other than a sense to protect their tomb. In fact, his current hideout wasn't too far from one of those tombs and as much as he tried to determine what brought the ancient Nords back to life, he was at a loss. So his current goal was to resurrect not only a simple mindless thrall as all ordinary necromancers do, he wanted to bring one back with not only loyalty to its new master but with the knowledge of its prior life. If only he could get that ancient knowledge and a mass an army of undead! His lord Hermaeus Mora ought to claim him his champion if he is to obtain the dark magics that died with the ancient Nords. After all, as a Bosmer who was raised to fear Necromancy as his ancestors had, he has come quite far, if not obsessed with it. The collection of souls for his rituals were the highlight of his year.
The only key to his room dangled on his hip as he began to pour his focus into his hands, violent violet energy circulating his slowly moving fingers as he began to slowly chant the latest version of his new spell in hopes it works this time. His amber eyes rose to meet the corpse of a recently slain traveler atop a table cluttered in soul gems. Absolutely nothing should interrupt his concentration, or so help them.
