She was going to kill him, and the worst part of it was that he doubted that she was even trying to. This was just her. The small smiles and touches, the way she looked at him to get his opinion about a decision before she made it. But by Aetherius itself did they make his heart flutter when she interacted with him like that. And he sees it with other people, the way that she seems to influence everyone she meets in some life-altering way, and the eyes which follow after her in the same way that he imagines his do.

FOR WHATEVER OC OF YOUR CHOOSING :)))
Kynadora’s love interest is Miraak. He and she are a slow burn, and most of their relationship can be defined as a tall, stoic, and strong warrior being brought to his knees by the gentleness he receives from the chronically tired but kind Kynadora. That is after they get over the main story of the Dragonborn DLC. Baura’s love interest is Brynjolf. By the time we run into the Thieves Guild when Kynadora is tracking down Esbern, they are already together. They get together shortly after Baura returns with Karliah to the Guild, but before Baura, Brynjolf, and Karliah become Nightingales. Lasinia is part of what I will refer to as the Dawnguard Polycule. It includes her, Florentius Baenius, Gunmar, and Sorine Jurard. They all really just want to make each other happy and do so very well. It does however slightly confuse Isran.
I’ve already answered this ask for Kynadora, which should be under the ask meme tag. Baura, as part of the Thieves Guild, has a main enemy in the City Guards of Skyrim. Much of the time however if Kynadora or Lasinia (upon their reunions) have enemies they are counted among Baura’s. Them and anyone else who dares to cross her guild. So the Thalmor are part of the list of her enemies twice for what happened to Kynadora and Etienne. The Silver-Bloods of Markarth are also people she tends to anger or rob if possible due to the events of the Forsworn Conspiracy, though she chose to kill Madanach and escape alone. As a follower of Meridia, Lasinia has a distaste for anything undead. Which is what drew her to the Dawnguard originally. She is less likely to go out of her way to fight against her sister and Kynadora’s enemies, but that doesn’t mean that she makes their jobs easier for them either. Harkon’s court is her primary enemy throughout the game, but she does have an interesting rivalry with Janus Hassildor. He is on her “no-kill list”, but that doesn’t mean that they get along at the best of times. She does however respect him for what he has done with his vampirism, especially in comparison to other undead.
Kynadora owns a lot of properties throughout Skyrim. Her favorites have to be Riftweald Manor, a gift from Baura and the Guild for when she is in Riften, and Myrwatch which I have slightly moved the location of. It is closer to the true middle point between the Throat of the World, Solitude, and Windhelm and makes traveling, especially in the post-game much easier. Her favorite cities are Riften and Solitude but she does quite enjoy spending time in Helgen once she is done with rebuilding it. Windhelm and Whiterun would be higher on the list, but she isn’t as able to escape certain titles and responsibilities as she can in the other three. Baura loves Riften, where she owns two houses. She owns Honeyside as well as Shadowfoot Sanctum. The Sanctum is more of a residence for her to use when she needs to lay low in Riften for a bit longer. Honeyside has her true heart. She is also a Thane of Riften. Lasinia spends much of her time in Fort Dawnguard, but her favorite city is actually Morthal. She owns Windstad Manor there and is a Thane.

Rains Hand and Suns Height for Kynadora please ☺️💙
Yes! Kynadora uses magic quite frequently, especially in combat. Her mother had studied with the Mage’s Guild at the Arcane University and while her father was more focused on her martial training, her mother ensured she could use magic to get out of a mess as well. This only became more important to Count Hassildor when he took her under his wing. Her primary focus is in the schools of Destruction and Restoration, though she has some skill in each of the other schools as well. The one that causes her the most difficulty is enchanting, however, and that’s why she doesn’t tend to use enchanted items. Her favorite Destruction spell is Wall of Storms in the base game, but with some of the Creation Club added it’s the Elemental Blast. Her favorite Restoration spells are Grand Healing and Heal Other.
Kynadora’s favorite shops tend to be the ones in which she has befriended the owners. The one she stops by most to buy new items would be Angeline’s Aromatics, as she regularly likes to check in on her, but also likes to make sure that she is stocked up on Healing and Magicka potions. That’s also what she buys the most of, but she also regularly restocks her lockpicks. Her favorite thing to buy though would be anything sweet from the taverns or any other food vendors. This can include pies, rolls, or candies though it’s easiest for her to keep candy on hand.

Hello friend! Can I get Morning Star for Dora? ❤️
The first thing I gave to Kynadora was a general idea of her. And she has changed a lot. The name itself was a gift from our lovely @nerevar-quote-and-star that she helped me come up with when I told her the general vibes of Kynadora. She was originally meant to be a Nightblade though but has become a lot closer to a Battlemage as time has gone on. Mostly what was important was her connection to Kyne, being half Nord, and being descended from the Hero of Kvatch and Martin Septim.

Hey 💕✨ I have three for the TES month ask meme! One for this month, one for your birthday, and one for mine!
First Seed - Does your OC have any enemies or rivals? How did these rivalries start?
Hearthfire - Does your OC have a family (blood or found)? Who are they closest to?
Evening Star - When is your OC's birthday?
All for Kynadora — except the last one is for everyone. We need ALL the birthdays for MAXIMUM party fun! 🥳💖
No rivalries, Kynadora is a rather chill character and so anything like that would be one-sided. Elenwen and the Thalmor are definitely her biggest enemies throughout the game and before though. Alduin is an enemy as well, but not on the same level. Harkon wasn’t really her enemy, at least in her mind, he was Serana’s. She very much sees herself as more of a sidekick during the events of Dawnguard. And for the Dragonborn DLC, she makes sure that Hermaus Mora can not come after her and her loved ones. Which includes Miraak eventually. The Thalmor on the other hand very much solidifies that idea of “what do you do when the monster of your childhood follows you into your adulthood” for her. She feared the Thalmor and what they could do as a child, and she fears their power and influence as an adult.
Yes, Kynadora’s blood family was killed by the Thalmor when she was twelve. Her father had been a Blade (and the main character of Elder Scrolls: Blades) that was eventually found and killed and her mother wasn’t going to let her husband go alone. Her mother had been an Imperial and her father was a Nord. After that, she was sent to Skingraad where the Count (still Janus Hassildor) helped raise her. There, she befriended Baura and her older sister Lasinia. The three of them definitely become her family, and her adventures in Skyrim just bring her more members.
Baura: Born in Evening Star on the 26th, Under the Thief
Lasinia: Born in Last Seed on the 4th, Under the Warrior
Kynadora: Born in Hearthfire on the 5th, Under the Lady

Summary: The Dragonborn is worn thin, but Odahviing will protect her.
(Dovahzuul translations at the bottom)
#######
When she captured him, the first thing he understood about the Dovahkiin was that she was calm. As the joorre of Hofkahsejun yelled and scurried around like rats, she stood against the storm of fire and chaos, watching and waiting. Her crystalline eyes reflected the disorder with clever, quiet cunning. When she spoke, her mortal voice carried all the weight of power found in the Strong Voices of Dov far older than him. Her presence demanded fealty. Castrated before her, Odahviing did not find it difficult to relinquish his service to Alduin Thuri.
He did not pledge himself to her then, but he would.
Burd is the Captain of Bruma’s City Guard and helps to lead the Defense of Bruma during the Oblivion Crisis. He also assists the Hero of Kvatch and the Blades in uncovering the Mythic Dawn hiding in the city.
Not much is known about Burd before the events of Oblivion. As captain, Burd is considered to be tough but fair by the townspeople. His position also allows him to serve as an advisor for the Countess of Bruma, Narina Carvain.
Once the Mythic Dawn and their spies begin to look around Bruma for weaknesses in Cloud Ruler Temple, Burd grants the Hero of Kvatch permission to search a potential spy’s house. When the Hero finds proof that the Mythic Dawn is preparing to attack Bruma and Cloud Ruler Temple by opening a Great Oblivion Gate nearby, Burd does everything within his power to prevent Bruma from becoming another Kvatch.
Once the Oblivion Gates begin to open all around the city, Burd enters the first gate alongside the Hero of Kvatch to learn how to close the gates. After closing the gate with the Hero’s help, Burd returns to the guard and puts his men on constant alert to help prevent Burma from being overrun by Daedra. He also communicates with the Blades throughout this. Burd fights in the Battle of Bruma while the Hero of Kvatch enters and closes the Great Oblivion Gate.
“Believe me, it was no picnic. But thanks to our friend here, I now know we can close these hell-gates. We can defend Bruma!”
“It was an honor to serve with you, sir. Now that I’ve seen how it’s done, I think my guardsman can handle any new Gates that open near Bruma.”
“This is no place I ever wanted to find myself. I don’t see how we can … No … no, we can do this. We have to do this. We have no choice. I’m glad you’re here. We wouldn’t have a chance otherwise. What’s our next move?”
“Thanks for coming. Since we had the Hero of Kvatch available, I didn’t think it made sense to try this on our own the first time. We’re ready when you are. Just say the word and we’ll follow you into that hell-spawned Gate.”
Pantheons won! Like I said earlier, this will probably include a small lore drop on the different pantheons before it’s up so look out for it sometime next week! Thanks to everyone who voted!
