I'm pretty sure no one remembers the vigilant series that I done a while ago. But, I suddenly have the urge to finish it after hearing this song, so here it is.

The story begin with a Bard and a Priestess of Arkay. The Priestess's helper grew jealous of the Bard and kill him. The Bard did not stay did dead though.

He crawls back from the dept of the void to say his last farewell to her, but she couldn't recognize him due to physical deformity, so she ran. Lost in rage, he chased her down,

raped and killed her.

What he didn't knew was that, upon resurfacing from death, his soul splited into 2 uneven parts. Anger, resentment, and guilt was the stronger, and larger "Dark Soul" which committed the crimes. 

The weaker and smaller "Furtive Pygmy", powerless to stop his counterpart, sit and watched from the shadow. Once the deed was done, he dragged her broken body to the nearest Nomad camp, in hope that they will give her a proper funeral, sending her soul to Arkay. That did not came to be...

During the burning of Pyre, the Dark Soul reappeared.  With a single blood dropped on her brow, she was resurrected, and the rest is history...

Taking pity on his "half-brother", Sheogorath appeared with an act of mercy, death. The Furtive Pygmy refused, stating that death wasn't enough of a punishment for his sins.

Instead he begged Sheogorath to seal him away, where he would never see the lights of days, where he can never be reincarnate as another living being. Sheogorath granted him his wish.

When the Hero of Kvatch defeated Jyggalag and mantled the form of a new Sheogorath in 3E 433, the seal was broken and the Furtive Pygmy found himself in a scorched world called Coldharbour.

Unable to remember who he was, he roams the land with a blind girl who has also lost her memory. Their ultimate goal is leave the hellish wasteland, each battle brings them closer to their past, yet it also drags them lower into the abyss.

Every souls that is trap here had a regret, something that prevents them from leaving Coldharbour. In order to free these souls, they must travel into each victim's memory and release them from their guilt. In turn they must carry the burdens of the ones they saved, with each sin giving them the strengths they needed to find their own Absolution.
