====The Blades====

The Blades are the hidden agents of the Emperor, those that perform the function of his eyes, hands, and ears.  Before becoming extinct in the late fourth era the blades were an honored class, one that often could be seen in public.  Many served as diplomats or in courts.  While out in the field the Blades were excellent in the acts of espionage and disguise, often passing themselves off as commoners or beggars.
They trace their routes back to the original Akavir Dragonguard, who first came to Tamriel to exterminate the monsters.  The men and women ended up being defeated by the Dragonborn Reman, and swore fealty to the man, becoming his personal bodyguard.  As the ages passed their numbers swelled, and they continued to protect the successive Dragonborn Emperors, with their lives when needed.
Masters of both deception and combat, the Blades are some of the most capable warriors in Tamriel.  Clever and strong alike, they have had a crucial role in many of histories most notable events, such as personally discovering the Nerevarine reborn and helping end the Oblivion Crisis.

Death Before Failure: The Blades have occasionally failed to protect the Emperor in the past, and loathe to do so again.

Emperors protected in this manner may not be challenged.
