Khajiit Trophy Hunting
Anonymous
In reality, anyone can tan an animal hide provided that the hide is in
suitable condition. Since Khajiit are nothing more than animals, it
makes sense that they should decorate the halls as trophies of
successful Imperials. While many a seasoned veteran may have a
preserved skull or two, few people have Khajiit tapestries, coats,
blankets, or rugs. The advantage of Khajiit fur is that there is more
to be gained from the slaying of one of these vicious beasts than that
of a simple lion, wolf, or tiger. First, a simpleminded, cruel beast
has been removed from Mundus to go to whatever hellish plane of
Oblivion that spawned it; and second, there is a greater quantity of
fur available.
The hunting of the Khajiit is the most difficult part. Since the beasts
have infiltrated our government due to the misguided direction of
'enlightened thinkers,' they have succeeded in passing laws to prevent
the hunting of their own kind, and because of this the Khajiit must be
hunted clandestinely. It will have to be that way until righteous
Imperials finally realize the danger that they are putting themselves
in by consorting with such animals. Traveling to Elsweyr is dangerous,
and the primitive cats travel in groups, and can be exceptionally
dangerous to the lone hunter.
Nevertheless, once the Khajiit has be dealt with the hide needs to be
removed immediately and cooled. Remaining flesh and fat need to be
removed as well, to ensure the hide's quality. To cool, place the hide
in the shade, lying flat. Upon cooling, you need to cover it with a
substantial quantity of salt. Use several pounds if necessary, as
putting an insufficient amount can damage the hide. Keep the hide
somewhere flat for some time and observe whether or not the salt draws
any liquid from the skin. If it does, more salt may need to be added to
replace the dissolved salts. It may take days to weeks, so it?s best to
have returned to civilization so that the process can be undisturbed.
Once this time has passed, prepare some water, more salt, and a stiff
brush. The skin now needs to be soaked for several hours. This soaking
process is essential for removing the foul odour of the beast, as no
virtuous person should have to contend with such a stench. After
soaking, and with some difficulty, you should be able to peel off the
hides inner skin. Put the hide back in the water, and mix the water
around. If the water appears dirty, change it. Finally, the wet hide
can be removed from the water and placed on the stretching rack, a
place where the Khajiit should have been to begin with. Place only
slight tension on the skin and allow to dry. Once the hide has dried,
remove it from the rack and go over the skin with a stiff brush, to
soften the skin and lighten the color. Once that has been completed,
the hide is ready for use and can be taken to a tailor to prepare into
whatever form you desire.
That?s all that is needed to decorate your house with valuable,
beautiful Khajiit skins, and help the good people of the Empire while
doing it. In the spring, look for the new volume on the use of Argonian
skin, once the trip to Black Marsh is over. Good hunting!

Nice, and very...original 
Maybe there can be some kind of a questline where this guy needs
protection from an avenging gang of Khajiits. Or maybe if you're a
member of the DB you get a questline to track down the book's author,
and once he's found kill him and bring his skin back to some wealthy
khajiit. |
