"Our first ancestor, Sebastien, was betrayed by the Divines. Or at least he felt humanity at large was betrayed by the Divines. It led him to believe they were unworthy and incapable custodians of man. Sebastien was originally a priest with them, and when he saw all his friends and family get slaughtered, with no deliverance, he vowed he would never serve a bigoted god. He felt his life was naught but equal, and it was unfair he lived" began Iori, as she seemed to recall what she knew from memory.

"Thus, Sebastien formed a contract with five Daedric Princes, and from them he learned how to gain power. He became capable of our unique power use, and married the Sorceress Vylliara. And that was how our bloodline was created. Our powers were all grants given by the Daedric Princes, which they cannot reclaim. Our freedom from fate is our inevitable destiny."

Iori seemed to stop a bit, then said "the Emperor probably did the same thing, except he formed contracts with different Daedric Princes. The Fontaine family formed contracts with nine of them, and the Magna Ge Magnus. It is the only way to gain a power that is both above magic and above humanity. We aren't really human. Our blood is 100% pure daedric blood, flowing in a human vessel."
