Hey boss,

You know I like to keep busy. Between last Night Market and this one, I started a little project tracking all the rumors about your origins. Asked around here and there or noted what came up in conversations.

Don't worry, I'm not trying to find out anything definitive, and I'm not snitching on my sources (not that I think you care). But if it were me, I'd want to know what was out there.

It's far from an exhaustive list, but here's what I heard:

- Plenty of variations of you being some sort of con man, "just like Pacrooti" (who?).

- You're a claw dancer banished from the Whispering Claw for being too lethal and killing your mentor. Some say you did it by accident, some said it was on purpose.

- (In the same conversation) No, you were actually a tyrannical hunt lord from the Sixteen Kingdoms cast forward in time by a forbidden technique used by claw dancers of the Desert Wind, and the fact that you were here at all meant that you were a herald of the end of existence, which should be happening any day now.

- You were the favored pet or acolyte of some forgotten Daedric Prince who saved you from a collapsing realm by putting you here.

- You're a rogue "fateline" that killed a better version of yourself and took his place in this one (no idea what this means and when I asked for more information I was told that I already knew too much).

- Based on all your posturing against Daedra, ironically you're actually a Daedra using a very convincing glamour to look like a very handsome Senche (this one might be my favorite).

- You're a failed beast of Hircine that escaped the Hunting Grounds. When I asked what about you was "failed" they told me you were too lazy to hunt and instead convinced others to do it for you (dunno boss, they might have a point with this one).

- You're the disfigured bastard son of King Hemakar, raised in secret by Euraxia Tharn as a contingency plan for a puppet ruler in case too many Khajiit challenged her rule (???).

- You're an escapee from one of the past districts (the person I talked to was sure he killed you before in another Night Market).

- You're not actually real and are just the manifestation of a shared mortal dream to thrive in Fargrave.

- You're a plant from House Hexos here to recover relics they can use to overthrow the Grasp-Kyn.

- You're "half" undead or from the litter of a moon beast (don't ask me what either of these things mean).

- You're a fallen champion of Boethra (Boethia?), cast out of Attribution's Share by the Warrior of East and West herself for some failed plot.

- OR the above story is just a cover and you're actually planning to take over Fargrave starting with the Night Market at Boethia's behest (gotta admit, this wouldn't be so bad).

- Based on your size, you're not a normal Senche, but actually a rare werebeast, and when the Night Market closes you shift back into a tiny Wood Elf (actually THIS one is my favorite).

There you go. Some of this stuff sounds damn near complimentary. Hope you got a laugh out of these like I did.
