nehti:art by the AMAZING @neneldi!! pls go check her work out, its amazing *chefs kiss*since i don’t like how the yokudans are really anti-elf (bc i feel that just lends more to a certain Idiot’s bullshit remarks about redguards and “reverse colonialism”), i’m basing her backstory on a lot of my own headcanons lmfao. i think a lot of na-totambu weren’t necessarily always fighting with the sinistral elves (imo the na-totambu weren’t one centralized group; they were a bunch of kings/nobles/etc. who had their own kingdoms essentially) and some of them lived in peace with the sinistral elves; some with a periodic pattern of peace-and-then-war-breaks out. also, since hoonding’s aspects are all men, we’re adding sunutekh to the list bc we need some girl power up in this establishment. she is a form of perserverance or Make-Way that isn’t necessarily violent; as she’s the product of a sinistral elf warrior and a na-totambu king who fell in love and married, subsequently ushering a brief era of peace between this group of yokudans and sinistral elves. (the idea of hoonding being “perseverance over infidels”, imo, stems from the fact that hoonding tends to be associated with ending conflict in some way or another.) unfortunately, tensions rise and more war breaks out between sunu’s people and the local sinistral elves, and she gets caught in the middle as a biracial yokudan half-elf; expected by both sides to be their champion.at some point, she gets ensnared by hermaeus mora, seeking and stealing forbidden knowledge in order to mass resurrect people killed in the wars all over yokuda and put a permanent end to the sinistral elf-yokudan struggle. she is then cursed for this, imprisoned in apocrypha for a very long time and forced to wear on her skin incomprehensible tidbits of the very knowledge she attempted to steal, which also causes her to alternate between a living and then undeath-like state. in the second era however, she manages to escape and wander tamriel again, finding that the world she once knew has changed significantly…. -- source link
