I was thinking that this would make a good easteregg book/skill book, I only wrote it in 15mins, so its only a sample. plz if u like it give me some other more lore friendly ideas to give a go :) now improved!!

'What is it?' cried the sentry, alarm increasing, the timid bosmer crept slowly towards the encroaching darkness of the forest, 'ok Thuron this isn-' he was suddenly cut off by the rather poetic placement of the dagger in his jugular vein, 'rookies' sighed Shavar. There was a time when Murad would have entrusted would have entrusted him with a greater task he thought.
But time goes on- the rustling of the bush saved his life. Lost in nostalgia as he was, decades of training forced him to turn at the noise as the hawk incisor flew past his face adding another scar to the grizzled assassin’s mutilated face. really a work of art in its own right, the hawk incisor was carefully fletched from only the finest valenhawk feathers, expensive to be sure but well worth the price to the seasoned marksman built for speed and accuracy using ancient Elmwood and either a mithril or shadesteel tip forged in ironsap residue it could cut through a boar at 50 paces, and masters had been known to hit a speeding weretiger at three hundred paces.
As he threw himself to his right another arrow flew passed barely missing his shrouded torso and tearing through his cloak, as a third arrow, almost simultaneously passed his ear. He ducked behind a tree, his usually keen kajitt senses stimulated by the rush of adrenaline saw the harsh red glow of the arrowhead, by Alkosh he thought. I’ve found him. His target, a master woodsman who had been causing trouble for the Renrijra Krin, a lot of gold was made out of the skooma trade. Enough it seemed, to hire not only an assassin but a dark brotherhood silencer, 'I think I'm in trouble' he muttered as he drew his short sword. 'Has the brotherhood fallen so?' mocked the figure now disappeared into the forest.
Angered by this blatant display of his mortality the usually Zen silencer screamed ‘Sithis will feast on your soul!!’ infuriated now by this surprise attack, he began finally to adjust to his situation. His mind racing, this one had obviously waited for him to reveal himself, hunting the hunter. He had even sacrificed a sentry to find him, not something your typical ranger would do thought zavar, now that he thought about it he fought more like-. His train of thought was interrupted by the Dark figure falling from the tree above him, he flew to his right, the hunter missing him only by an inch, to his dismay crashing into a bear of a Nord with a battleaxe the size of a child, ‘SITHI-‘ Jorns axe thundered down with a gratifying sound. Decapitating the helpless murderer. ‘thats one down' sighed Jorn, wiping of the blood from his battleaxe, ‘don’t worry’ comforted his shrouded companion, we will eventually get the bastared who killed him you know’ ‘aye lets hope so’ sighed Jorn. So it was that Jorn and his companion, disheartened though they were, continued through the forest. unfortuate really, that Jorn only just failed to notice the glowing ebony dagger in his friends hand.

NOT rubbish, very very good actually.

Definitley action packed, do you have any plans to flesh out the story? Might be a nice insight into Bosmer/Khajit relations if it is kept factual.

Not sure about Glarthir and Grom being present and the former dying when the player may of already killed him and Grom sitting in an Inn in Bruma. Also not sure about weretigers and valenhawks though they are interesting concepts that could be built upon.

Hope to see more mate!
