The air of Chorrol didn’t feel as cold as you’d expect. Perhaps it was the Hammerfellian winds which flew by from time to time. Because of this, the few trees around the city didn’t really lose all their leaves. Instead they sort of coloured brown and faint orange. Sort of like the sky.

The warmer weather sort of allowed people to forget that there was a war going on. One that could literally be brought to their doorstep in the coming months.

Chorrol’s count. Jasper Vasini. Was a young man who inherited the title at the age of nineteen after his father and elder brother died in a skirmish near Anvil. Jasper was a staunch defender of the Empire and its ideals, he was pro-industrialisation. And was one of the first in line to adopt the new lifestyle and technology that accompanies it. Chorrol was the first city after the Capital to introduce beaumanic lighting and also built the famous Tirbaun motorworks. Known for the T model automobiles you see riding around nowadays.

Tirbaun, a wealthy man and friend of the count could be described as one of the richest individuals in the Empire at the moment. His company enjoyed a monopoly on automobiles for at least 7  years until steady competition from Markarth’s Silverblood family also joined in. Tirbaun wasn’t a stupid man. He knew that it would come to that eventually. But he knew he could find a way to profit from the introduction of other brands.

Introducing the annual “Chorrol Automobile Grand Prix Races”

A quite new idea that only saw the light of day two years ago, but that had already attracted much interest around the Empire. The idea was simple.

Instead of horses or carts, now there would be races with these fast new machines around and through the City of Chorrol for one week!

Racers from around the known world would come and partake with a sponsored car of whatever brand. Every year, faster models appeared. The races on their own proved to be quite the marketing campaign as the rich and wealthy flock towards Chorrol every year to see these ‘devil machines’ in action.

It wasn’t only the cars that became faster and more vicious, but also the competition in some way. Because it was such a new sport there weren’t a lot of rules set in stone. Nothing exceptionally horrible had happened yet to make people aware just how dangerous these things could be, but it surely wasn’t a profession for the faint of heart, that much was clear already.

These racecar drivers did enter some sort of celebrity status because of it. Like Airship flyers they became revered by the youth for their dashing daredevilry. This year some of them even started to appear on playing cards… And it didn’t show signs from becoming lost in the public eye anytime soon.

One such driver was Hana Sevanici. An Imperial woman that grew up in Skyrim.

She drove a Tirbaun T2 beaumanic. A fast thing and specifically modified by herself for maximum performance.

It was a loud beast. And she had some close calls but that was simply what she loved about it.

The rush

The adrenaline

It just appealed to her.

<p class="MsoNormal">Her goal was to win the Chorrol Grand Prix this year. She came in 5th last year and aimed for the top this time. She had been honing her skills in Skyrim for the whole year and left Markarth just in time actually.

<p class="MsoNormal">Along the way she also met a strange Breton but they parted ways.
