But a man is measured not by his willingness to kill, but his willingness to look for alternatives.\"\n\n-Dro'amoreth\n\n**\u0026nbsp;**\n\n**\u0026nbsp;**\n\n**\u0026nbsp;**\n\nTo this individual, the title says it all.\u0026nbsp; The Wise and Honourable, Dro'amoreth is the Harbinger of the Whiterun Companions and a fierce warrior in combat.\n\nNoble and distinguished, Dro'amoreth is, perhaps surprisingly, due to his age, a noted pugilist.\u0026nbsp; Perhaps the best in Skyrim, Dro'amoreth has talents with his bare hands, closed fists and extended claws, able to beat anyone in a one-on-one bout.\u0026nbsp; Did I mention he was seventy-six?\n\nAt the age of sixty-eight, Dro'amoreth became the Harbinger of the Companions, being granted the legacy by the noble Nord warrior, Kodlak Whitemane.\u0026nbsp; Dro'amoreth won this honour by aiding the companions immensely and clearing the members of the circle of their lycanthropy.\n\nIn combat, as stated, Dro'amoreth is a gifted pugilist.\u0026nbsp; This stems in part from how he grew up, a Khajiit child in Skyrim, partly from his claws, and another part from his knowing how to use heavy armour.\u0026nbsp; In battle, Dro'amoreth wears the heavy and dense steel-plate style of armour, which packs a mean force to the blows of his fists.\u0026nbsp; He also has a better grasp of how to use his armour, making his steel-plate superior to my Dragon Bone armour.\n\nDro'amoreth, as his name would suggest (Dro is the Khajiiti term for Grandfather), is a grandfather.\u0026nbsp; His children, though many, are not all Khajiit.\u0026nbsp; Dro'amoreth, like the noble soul he is, adopted children as well.\u0026nbsp; His first wife, a Khajiit named Ri'kamira, who was slain by bandits, bore him a sole daughter, by the name of Azi (17).\u0026nbsp; After this, Dro'amoreth married the Nord woman Ysolda.\u0026nbsp; For the sake of space, this tome won't count the non-Khajiiti children Dro'amoreth and Ysolda adopted.\u0026nbsp; Azi, in due time, met the Khajiit Do'kharza, with whom she had three children, S'rassa (14), Dar'mhirr (15) and Dar'shaza (16).\u0026nbsp; To be precise, Dro'amoreth is not simply a grandfather, but a great-grandfather, to S'rassa's daughter Dar'isa (11).\n\nStill a powerful figure, Dro'amoreth has settled down, as have we all, in the eight years since Alduin's demise.\u0026nbsp; Still the Harbinger of the companions, Dro'amoreth is, as of this publishing, training a successor, much like Kodlak before him.\n\nSkyrim was Dro'amoreth's original home.\u0026nbsp; Currently, Dro'amoreth has never once taken a pilgrimage to warm, beautiful Elsweyr (2).\u0026nbsp; Although I think it's strange, I will not comment unduly.\n\nDro'amoreth has established a successful farm outside Whiterun, guarded by hold guards and people of various races.\u0026nbsp; It is basically a new town in the Whiterun hold, frequently travelled to by Khajiiti merchants and other adventurers.\u0026nbsp; The settlement boasts a mill, a farm, an inn, a stable, three houses and the start of a mine.\u0026nbsp; Nicknamed by locals as Khajiitihold, the settlement is sure to endure.\u0026nbsp; Bandits occasionally attack, but they are swiftly driven back by me (6), Ma'jyrr (7), J'nari (9) and others who make their homes here.\u0026nbsp; While Ma'jyrr lives in Riften and I tend to stick around Markarth, we both can frequently be found here.\u0026nbsp; J'nari lives here perpetually and can usually drive bandits away single-handed.\u0026nbsp; Do'razzi, when not out exploring, lives and works here, which was his original cover, as a simple stableboy.\n\nGrowing up in the city of Whiterun, Dro'amoreth breaks a stereotype of many Khajiit.\u0026nbsp; Big and burly, with a taste for mead and combat, Dro'amoreth even has a Nord accent, surprising many who meet him for the first time.\u0026nbsp; However, this does not prevent this particular individual from other, more suitable Khajiit, pursuits.\u0026nbsp; Like most Khajiit, Dro'amoreth is fond of Moonsugar, though not to the degree of others.\u0026nbsp; He claims it's almost too sweet.\n\nWhen not using his capable fists, Dro'amoreth uses a beautiful glass greatsword.\u0026nbsp; His already copious strength makes this weapon, in his hands, an impressive sight.\n\nDro'amoreth, in combat, differs from most of us.\u0026nbsp; He, like his grandson S'rassa, tend to wade into combat, swinging blades and smashing with fists.\u0026nbsp; He'll take lots of damage willingly, so long as he gets to return even more to his foes.\u0026nbsp; Capable with his bow as well, Dro'amoreth is an accomplished archer, being able to pinpoint targets from a long range away.\u0026nbsp; Though, much like Ma'jyrr and I, Dro'amoreth has never picked up the need for a crossbow, believing the bow to be a superior weapon.\u0026nbsp; And I'd probably agree with him.\n\nIf I could shoot a bow myself, that is.\n\nDro'amoreth is a skilled hunter, knowing the mountain and wintery trails better than most of us, with the exception of a few, like Jiira, who grew up on those very trails.\n\nAs a Skyrim-born Khajiit, Dro'amoreth has thicker fur naturally than most of us others and also has a fondness for the cold that Khajiit generally do not.\u0026nbsp; This added bonus makes him, like a Nord, resistant to cold in all its forms, magical or not.\u0026nbsp; Magic-wise, Dro''amoreth is...less than capable.\u0026nbsp; He can use basic healing, or a firebolt, but a more complex spell is out of his grasp.\n\nAnother area where Dro'amoreth differs heavily from my sister and I, the other Dragonborn, is that Dro'amoreth has taken a huge liking to the Nord art of Shouting.\u0026nbsp; His preferred shout is the Fus Ro Dah, or the Unrelenting Force shout.\u0026nbsp; He uses this to great effect in battle, blasting trolls off mountains and bandits three feet deep into stone walls.\n\nIn short, Dro'amoreth is a very deadly opponent, never to be engaged lightly, despite his advanced age.\u0026nbsp; Dro'amoreth is a fierce combatant, with greatsword, bow, hands and shout.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Story of the Khajiit","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1196416-ma-jyrr-the-swordswoman.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1196436-j-nari-the-brute-of-elsweyr.json"}}
