My soul is the tower rising high above chilling mountain fog. Ever watchful of the world around me, the people and animals who cross my way. I once lived in the stone city which I can see on a clear day. A simple merchants daughter who loved a good simple man. There came a time when all able men were called for war, I pleaded with him to stay. He tried to comfort me, promising me he would be back safe. He would send someone ahead to leave a purple mountain flower at this very tower, letting me know not far behind was my soldier. Many cold months passed and I began to visit the tower everyday hoping to see either him or the flower. Nothing came not even word of the people he left with. A year went by and I already sinking into despair had hope at the sight of a letter among the tower stones. It was not to be good news, although fighting back the enemy a great deal they had lost the upper hand with not enough men. I could never take the thought of living without my love, even waiting years for him would be much less cruel. The dagger he had given me upon his leave was the only way I could think to be close to him now. Plunging it deep into my chest my happiest thought was that I would be seeing him soon in Sovngarde. This was not what awaited me in death, I had no idea Meridia was watching me. Angered by what she saw as disrespect for the life I had she cursed me to the grounds of the tower. Forever I would be forced to watch from these grounds the lives of others so that I would understand the value of life no matter how tragic.
