PorterHause's Tish

Based on PorterHause's Character on his

When she was 18, she was married off to a miner in Shor's Stone. Her father thought it would be a match made in Sovngarde with his master smith daughter marrying an ore miner. Tish wasn't so sure especially after meeting her dour groom and his family. Unhappily she went along with the marriage and lived for two years in the tiny hamlet. It was soon discovered she could not conceive a child and her husband began to ignore her. Tish busied herself practicing her combat skills and smithing work.While forging she would chant words her father taught her like a mantra. His claim was that the words

One day there was a great shout that came from the Throat of the World that shook the heavens and earth. The people of Shor's Stone said it was an ill omen and prayed to the gods. Tish however felt a warmth overcome her, a warmth settled in her belly and she discovered something that shocked her butonly at first. While working at her forge she began her chant and as soon as the last syllable spilled from her lips a great rolling ball of flame shot from her mouth and into the sky. The sound and heat were terrific. Terrified, she discovered that whenever she repeated the chant the fire would issue forth from her like a fountain.

She kept this discovery a secret and vowed to ask her father where he had learned the words.

Not long after that Tish was out gathering edible wild plants when she came upon two young girls from her village in the forest being menaced by a pack of wolves. Unarmed but unwilling to let the girls be ripped apart by wolves, Tish charged throwing rocks and swinging a fallen tree limb with skill. The wolves proved to be too many to handle without proper gear and soon she found herself trapped in the same corner with the hysterical young maidens. Tish did the only thing she could think of and chanted her forge mantra.

In the aftermath the wolves lay in a burning pile and the two girls fled screaming towards the village.When she returned home she found the village folk gathered in the square. Instead of praising her forher bravery the villagers glared and muttered. They did not ask for an explanation nor did anyone thank her. In the end she ended up more ostracized than ever.

Shortly after that her husband got a priest to dissolve their marriage and kicked her from the home they had shared for over two years. Gathering her meager belongings and her equipment she kicked the village dust from her boots, contemptuously spit in the direction of the folks gathered to watch her departure and began the long trek home.

Upon arriving home Tish discovered the farm in ruins and her father and two brothers were dead. Her mother and sister were no where to be found. Grief stricken questioned the neighbors and found out that some of the weapons her father had forged had ended up in the hands of the Stormcloaks. The Imperials had traced the maker's mark on the blades to Carag's farm and attempted to arrest him. He resisted and his sons had joined the fray. When it was over the bulk of the Imperial soldiers were dead but so were Carag and his sons. No one could tell Tish where her mother and sister were but Tish feared the worst.

She returned to the ruins of the farm and restored her father's forge to working order. For three days she worked the forge chanting and hammering and when she emerged she was as tempered and sharpas the weapons she had created.

From that time on Tish hunted and killed Imperial soldiers on sight. Eventually she ended up in Windhelm working for the Stormcloaks as a mercenary. Her hard demeanor and no nonsense bearing earned the appellation Stoneflower, beautiful but hard. Imperial soldiers both fear and loath her as the Nord demoness that uses an axe to hack off heads and limbs with a smile on her face and then burns any still standing with a word. Many a Imperial officer has also suddenly sprouted arrows from chest and head without warning.

When the player discovers her she is in the Temple of Talos praying for a clue to the whereabouts of her sister and mother.
