Tales from Tamriel
When I started out on my journey to becoming a game developer, I had a very narrow idea of what that meant. I had no idea how many different parts there were to making fantastic games. I learned rather quickly that games, much like a live performance, involve so much more than just programming or art. Tales from Tamriel is a pet project that I have worked on for the past 4 years where I honed my character creation skill. I chose to do this project in The Elder Scrolls Online because it is one of my favorite games of all time and I have around 5300 hours logged in it as of writing this.
Tales from Tamriel is a dynamic story I have been, and continue to, work on about
new characters of my own creation in the world of The Elder Scrolls Online

After leaving the order, Elona moved to the Capital city of the Daggerfall Covenant, Wayrest where she joined the Mages Guild. Year later on a trip with her family to Skyrim, the Ashcroft Family was captured by the Worm Cult and sent to Coldharbor.
