Today,
I was offered a position
as the Jarl's Thane.
The job came with many a
plain.
I bought a home, helped my people,
I became the Jarl's Thane.

I started the war,
betraying my homeland.
My Jarl never suspected,
me, his Thane, as an assassin,
a thief,
a liar,
and a cheat.
I fit in perfectly.

My Jarl never thought that I,
his Thane,
could sell him out and force new
power among him.
I did.
I sat,
I thought,
and I sought control.

Among the ranks of
Stormcloaks, I was persecuted for
my race.
I still followed my new Jarl blindly,
I became the Jarl's Thane.

I had begun,
A new beginning.
