Biography
Little is known of Arlas' early life, other than the fact that she was seemingly raised by the temple priests. However, their manor didn't seem to rub off on her as she is quite unorthodox in her approach to things. From a young age, Arlas found herself sporting a tribal Mohawk hair style and often found herself cursing when annoyed or excited, something that earned her many slaps to the knuckles with a ruler.

In spite of her odd approach to it, Arlas does seem to love her job as a healer and a conjurer and seems to be quite loyal to her fellow priests, even if they do annoy her at times. She is willing to drop everything that she is doing to answer their call but finds herself to be growing more and more frustrated with their eagerness to waste her time. By the time of Dark Pilgrimage, she jokes that the next time she's asked to run to a stall to buy some tobacco, she'd strip off her robes and join a Daedric cult.

Not much else has been revealed about her past as of yet...

Myths of Mundus: Dark Pilgrimage
Arlas begins Dark Pilgrimage as a temple initiate, who is summoned to the temple of the one to assist her mentor, Father Lorius. She has some difficulty traveling across the city, due to the heat not agreeing with her robes and the crowding and as a result, she arrives too late to help the Imperial in his efforts.

Myths of Mundus: Dark Pilgrimage - Chapter 1: Orsimer Charge
Upon arriving at the temple Arlas is informed that Lorius no longer needs her help, she tries to apologize and quickly explains what was holding her up but the Imperial dismisses her eagerness to apologize and insists that it's okay.

He steps aside and explains that he had been healing an Orsimer, who had lost his hand, he reveals the sleeping giant to her and gives her quite a shock. She inquires into what he knows about the Orc's injuries, to which he replies that not much is certain, just that the wound must have been inflicted with a sharp blade, in a fight or perhaps it was done by some sort of industrial machinery or farming equipment.

Lorius informs her that he must rest and asks her to watch over the Orsimer as he gets up and leaves, Arlas agrees to it and also remembers her paralysis scrolls, to be used to defend herself, just in case he grows unruly.

Myths of Mundus: Dark Pilgrimage - Chapter 2: Orsimer Descending
Arlas passes the time by doing occupying herself with the cat's cradle, until Bologra stirs. To the Bosmer's surprise, he sits up and starts ranting and raving, prompting her to quickly paralyze him with one of the spells.

The Orsimer is forced to relax and calm down and the two of them begin to talk. They realize that they have quite a bit in common, being unorthodox and having a similar sense of humor. They discuss Bologra's brother, Bugdul, who was hunted and killed a year before by bounty hunters, Arlas shows a great deal of sympathy for the Orc and apologizes for his loss.

After the Orc Calms down Arlas asks him about what happened at the White Gold Tower, in which he informs her that he was invited there and challenged to a battle with the Daedric Master Jorane Lorwel.

Arlas is somewhat concerned about this as there is no telling what such a Daedra could do inside the White Gold Tower, after being shown the letter, that he sent to Bologra. Bologra then vows to go back to the White Gold Tower, tear Joran's head from his shoulders and force it into his rectum before casting him off of the spire. His rants are interrupted as his Bosmeri carer zaps him, with another paralysis spell and decides that they need to investigate it in a civilized manner.

Myths of Mundus: Dark Pilgrimage - Chapter 3: Clueless
Arlas awakes early the next morning and tells Father Lorius of what Bologra had told her. In spite of hours of rehearsal, her pitch isn't as calm or as planned out as she'd hoped. Still Lorius listens and eventually agrees that it is a concern, if what the Orc is saying is true.

Lorius seems partially unconvinced at first but he is eventually swayed into letting Arlas investigate, provided that Bologra watches out for her and brings her back safely. Bologra also gives him the letter that Jorane Lorwel sent him, so that he may do some digging in the library.

Bologra and Arlas then proceed to leave the hospital before heading straight to the White Gold Tower, to find answers.

Myths of Mundus: Dark Pilgrimage - Chapter 4: The Scene of the Crime
Arlas leads Bologra over to the White Gold Tower, so that he can examine the scene of the crime. The young Bosmeri Priest decides to interview one of the Palace guards, asking him about Bologra's encounter with Jorane Lorwel but the Imperial Guard is truly unaware of what she is talking about.

Bologra expresses a great deal of anger at the guard, for his ignorance and his immediate knee jerk reaction to mock the credibility of Bologra's story. He gets aggressive and confrontational but is quickly calmed down by his companion.

Arlas' faith in his story is shaken by the guard's lack of awareness, when it comes to the recent damage done to the Tower. Bologra is even more angered by this, believing that Arlas is calling him a liar. The Orc causes a great deal of commotion in the hallway as he rants and raves before he boots open the Elder Council Chamber, revealing it to be completely unscathed.

As he turns around, he and Arlas come face to face with three Palace Guards, who have come to detain them.

Myths of Mundus: Dark Pilgrimage - Chapter 5: Jorane Lorwel
Bologra is attacked by multiple Palace Guards, much to Arlas' dismay. He is able to dispatch them, rather easily but quickly finds himself surrounded by another group of guards, lead by a Councillor, by the name of 'Soir Aube.'

Sir Aube, to their surprise, doesn't immediately arrests them and asks them what they are doing here. When they inform him of what is going on, Aube quickly becomes certain that there is a degree of truth to Bologra's story and agrees to assist them in finding the Daedric threat. The guards protest, saying that they are simply hooligans but Aube denounces their claims, by saying that there is no proof that there is or isn't a Daedra occupying the palace.

The group search the Elder Council Chambers but find nothing, much to Bologra's annoyance. There is no evidence to say that Bologra fought anyone here or even entered the tower. Though Aube's confidence is shaken, he is still convinced that Bologra believes that he is telling the truth and if that is the case, then it is more than likely that a Daedra exists, in some shape or form, within the tower.

Aube's guards continue to heckle Aube, requesting that they're given permission to arrest the Orsimer and possibly his Priest Companion as well, however, Aube continues to insist that the matter needs to be investigated further.

They split up and search the tower, Bologra and Arlas are assigned the basement level, where they are to rummage around the artifacts, in case a Daedra hides among them or a Daedric artifact is causing this. They head down, into the cellar, where they interact with several artifacts.

Bologra finds a sword, which is jammed in a stone, he tries to pull it out but quickly finds that the sword is electrified by some means and is thrown across the room, much to the frustration of everybody. Eventually, they meet back up, in the center of the room, where they all announce that they have found nothing.

However, Arlas' quickly loses her trail of thought as it is hijacked by an outside source. Her whole world is quickly transformed around her, as she enters the domain of the Daedra that has nested in the White Gold Tower and comes face to face with him.

Jorane Lorwel.

Myths of Mundus: Dark Pilgrimage - Chapter 6: Crossing the threshold
Upon coming face to face with Jorane Lorwel, Arlas finds herself to be intimidated but does her best not to show it, even acting quite antagonistic towards the Daedra. He mocks her attempts at intimidating him, informing her that she is in his realm and he could kill her instantly, if he wanted to.

She tells him that she and Bologra are seeking answers, which he quickly provides. He tells her that he invited Bologra to be his champion but found him to be too erratic to be controlled and that he needed to muzzle him. He cut off his hand and sent him to the temple, to be healed but quickly became intrigued by Arlas, who wasn't like the other priests. He almost admired her and noticed that there was definitely something different about her as well as the fact that she had a great deal of control over the Orc.

He then tells her that he wished to send them both on a pilgrimage to the north, to retrieve an axe from the Cyrodiil/Skyrim boarder, an axe that was used by a powerful warrior to slay him, many centuries ago. He tries to seduce her, by offering her a powerful staff, masterfully crafted by the Daedra and enchanted to be debilitating against her foes.

Her orders are to get the axe and bring it back to his shrine, so that he may destroy it and free himself from the statue. He then tells her to go and get the Orc to follow her to the Shrine as he would most likely be needed on the Silver Road and in the cave that it is kept in.

Arlas awakes back in the Imperial Palace's temple, where she is surrounded by Bologra and several guards, she quickly notices that Jorane Lorwel's staff is still in her hand.

Myths of Mundus: Dark Pilgrimage - Chapter 7: Assembling the pieces
Arlas and her group regroup with Soir Aube and his people, where they exchange their findings. Arlas explains how she got the staff of Jorane Lorwel and her encounter with him, in the basement.

According to Soir Aube, Bologra passed out as soon as he arrived at the White Gold Palace, just like she did in the basement and fell to the floor and never actually entered it. He was then teleported to the front door of the hospital, so that Father Lorius could keep him alive.

In spite of the confusion, Bologra is still just as enraged as ever and expresses his enthusiasm in going after this axe, so that he may have another chance at dealing with Jorane Lorwel. He, unfortunately, gets a little over excited and ends up hurting his stump in the process.

Soir Aube shows some concern towards the Orsimer as the wounds sustained from his recent amputation are still fresh. However, Bologra puts him at ease (or tries to) but telling him that 'Blackbeard's laugh shit like this off!' Arlas, despite being amused by his bravado, still recommends getting him an arm brace, to keep it protected as it is most likely going to be even more vulnerable outside.

Aube then suggests that the group are accompanied by a compliment of armed guards but Bologra quickly dismisses the suggestion, saying that the Guards would be a liability and would slow them down. He also remained unimpressed by their fighting skills (or lack thereof) and therefore insists on traveling as a two. Arlas backs him up, saying that his points are true, even if his delivery was a little uncouth.

Soir Aube respects their decision and wishes them both luck on their adventure, he parts with them by saying 'good hunting.'
