The Rift was more beautiful than it had any right to be. Autumn leaves gently floating in the breeze, landing on the top of shining lakes and pools untouched by the meddlesome hands of man. The sky a beautiful shade of pink as the sun began to rise to the east, it's first few strands of sunlight poking over the mountains that seperated the Nords and Dark Elves. The sounds of commerce and work rose out of the city. letting all those still in their bed know that the day had begun.

The pompous men sitting comfortably inside the keep were to begin another fruitful set of bribery and political moves to cement their positions. Cuthroats and murderers waited in the alleyways, ready to take what was not theres and evade those who would see them brought to justice.

This, was Riften. A city that appeared to come straight from the most ideal of Breton paintings. A city of thieves. A city of liars. A city of sinners.

It would be ironic then that here, the tale begins. The Bee and the Barb, a quiet little corner of Riften that finds itself away from the crime that has enveloped the rest of the city. Quiet, serene, and smelling of the most delicious stews and mead that the province of Skyrim had to offer.

It was here, that a few select individuals were told to meet. Here, they would be offered the chance of a life time. To give meaning and hope to the people of Tamriel, at a time where all hope has been traded for a few pieces of silver. At a time where the ones we were meant to look up to have turned their backs upon their people and have only gone into business for themselves and their most esteemed acquaintances. To shine a light upon the darkening land, before the concept of light itself is lost to the ages.

But of course, we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves, aren't we? For now, the Bee and the Barb was putting out fresh breakfast and drink for the patrons to enjoy....
