On the island of Solstheim, there lived a strange elf woman.

As an infant, a miner found her inside a small wooden boat wrapped in an expensive blanket while he and his wife were strolling outside the town of Raven Rock. They knew something was off about the child, as her appearance wasn't like any other Mer known. Also, a gold, sun-shaped amulet was in the boat with her. Despite that, they decided to raise her as their own when no one came looking for the child. They named her "Azurel" in honor of the Daedric Prince, Azura.

While growing up, Azurel was discriminated against at first, but she quickly gained her peers' acceptance when she showed kindness and willingness to help others. Her life wasn't without its speedbumps, though. At the age of ten, her adoptive father was killed in a mining accident, and her adoptive mother died when their house caught fire when she was at age fifteen.

As an adult, Azurel became a drifter, going around the island to find work wherever she could. This ranged from simply helping fix houses to rescuing people from Rieklings and Reavers. Other things included helping the guards of Raven Rock and entertaining people at The Retching Netch.

However, Azurel always felt like something was... off. She never felt like she truly belonged in Solstheim.

Her adoptive parents told her that they weren't her birth parents, but to a degree, Azurel always knew that. It wasn't until she discovered the amulet her adoptive parents found while looking through the remains of her old home that Azurel began to wonder about her true origins.

One night, Azurel had a dream. However, it wasn't a dream but a vision. Azura herself visited Azurel to inform her that if she went to Skyrim, she would "find the answers she longed for." However, Azura also told her that Azurel would encounter "not only many challenges but her true destiny." The next morning, Azurel grabbed her things and went to a boat crew.

She was nervous, but if what Azura said was true, Azurel would finally know where she came from and what happened to cause her to end up in Solstheim. Taking a deep breath, Azurel approached the captain to request his help getting to Skyrim.
