Background: Living a humble life, Soren dreamt of nothing more than owning a smithy in the city. His father and brother worked in the mines, which left Soren at home with his mother, fostering in him a kind-hearted nature. This lead his mother to always favour Soren over his brother, Jurgen, causing him to resent him and play pranks on Soren.

His parents later bought him an apprenticeship with the local blacksmith. After two months of hearing their parents praising Soren, Jurgen could stand it no more. The next day Soren made the journey into the town, Jurgen offered to join him. As the brothers crossed a bridge, he dropped a spider across his path. His horse reared up at seeing it, and Soren was flung from the saddle, hitting his head against the wall of the bridge before dropping into the river.

When he was fished out of the river, he was half unconscious and bedridden. After he recovered, he was unable to speak properly: he could only mumble or grunt. He continued to work in the smithy, but his tutor became frustrated with his simpleton student and he had to leave, before following his brother into the Imperial Guard. His great strength proved an obvious assent, and he befriended a Redguard named Aisif, who took it upon himself to look after the dumb Nord.

One day, their section was ambushed on patrol in southern Cyrodiil, and only Soren and Aisif managed to limp away. They were found and saved by a Khajiit merchant, and Aisif was shocked to find their historical enemy helping them. Soren was easily persuaded that they should take the opportunity of the ambush to disappear from the Guard, and the pair travelled south towards the Arenthian Verge.

Although Aisif has been missing for weeks, Soren is determined to succeed in Arenthia.
