He honours blood of the tribe unmourned. He eats their sin, and is reborn.

humble request to know everything about your nerevar (?) 🤲

Sure!! My Nerevar Reborn/Nerevarine is a dunmer named Marayn.

He was born on the mainland of Morrowind with a golden birthmark on his chest and didn't think much about it except for some especially addled priests who called it a sign from Azura, a little lifting of her curse.

Marayn is a talented fighter, and was a variously a bouncer, arena pit dog, caravan guard, and hired muscle- an all around aimless troublemaker- before landing himself in the Imperial prison and being sent to Vvardenfell.

With my dragonborn/Tal I went hard on reluctant hero tropes but with my return to TES III I wanted to make a protagonist who dives head first into the messiness and power of pre-destiny. His main stats are Endurance and Personality. A born leader.

The prophecy and cults and reincarnation are all a very convenient jokes for Marayn at first, but he lets himself be totally subsumed by the role of Nerevar Reborn. The more he becomes involved on VVardenfell and discovers who Nerevar was, and what he believes happened in that past life, the more he grabs that power with both hands. Then he beats the Tribunal to death with it :)
