Personal history
Eilistraee Mournblade comes from a small noble family in Morrowind, known for being loyal to the Redoran Great House. Her House will become a cousin house to the High Rock MacLyons through intermarriages, and this will prove to be important in the 3rd Era between Daelistra Mournblade and Jarl Tolsirion MacLyon the Dragonborn. The children of Eilistraee and Barrahir though not born of a marriage are the start of this very strong alliance going through the Empire's History. Eilistraee met Barrahir while he was commanding forces in Cyrodil. She was on a mission to assassinate a commander of the Ebonhear Pact. They spent time with each other prior to her mission as they were attracted to each other upon meeting.
Though a Nightblade, her strength was always in being a Master Thief. Few could match her in stealth, or her precision with blades. She was on a misison in Daggerfall to prove herself to the Morag Tong when she was abducted by the Worm Cult. Her mark's house was on the right next to the wall of Daggerfall. She entered the house, but before she could assassinate her mark, she was bludgeoned and captured.
All was not lost for she reformed perfectly in Cold Harbor. It was theorized by sages that if one had Anuic qualities outside of a soul and came into contact with Padomaic Creatia, they would be able to form a near perfect body and mind identical to the one they left behind. Unfortunatley for Mannimarco and indeed Molag Bal, she was one of the beings that proved this true.
She met Lyris Titanborn and the rest of the The Twelve Saviors , and together they found the Prophet, the form of Emperor Vallus who allowed them to get freedom from Cold Harbor. Eilistraee returned to Daggerfall newly formed, but soulless. She would regain her soul after The Twelve Vestiges and the Alliances defeated the forces of Molag Bal in an invasion of Cold Harbor where they freed Meridia's Hollow City and stopped the Planemeld. Though her soul was regained, she acheived an unexpected boon: She was effectively immortal because she could reform a new identical Body and Mind. This proved to be a great advantage in her conflicts to come.
