[ There's a very solemn face in the center of the frame, and he stares with just a hint of frustration. It eases when he sees he's got something working. ]

It feels somewhat ridiculous, to be addressing a… [ drawin' a blank, here. ] …Something of this sort, instead of a person. But I've been told it will work, by a woman with no reason I could see to lie, I see nothing to do but have faith that it will…

[ He sighs, draws himself up a little straighter. ]

My name is Ashraf Salib, and I am a priest. I am a competent healer, with experience surviving dangerous areas. If there are any that would like to include me in their party, you will find that my fees are very reasonable. I hope to hear from you soon.

[ B| ] I became the last of a dynasty.

Ends up I was the Emperor's bastard, sequestered under his orders. Then he and all my legitimate half-brothers were assassinated, so I was forced to take the throne.

[ Martin shrugs. He can't miss the title, and it's benefits, when he never got to be the Emperor. ] It's more of a feat that they were able to revive a dead priest than bring forth an Emperor.

No, I'm not speaking of fainting in battle, but actual death. And I know I'm not being necromanced. [ Smells too good, still has his sapience. ] Sacrificed myself for my realm. [ As if he were discussing the weather. ]

Don't be. It was a good death. And I would do it again.

It was. It was a privilege to give up my life for it.

[ A pause, then a single laugh. ] Why would I? This isn't Tamriel. I have no claim to this land.

That is true. But I never ruled, so I cannot miss what I never had.

I died before I could assume my duties as the Emperor.

[ Martin speaks verbatim, with the monotone of a scholar. ] "Martin Septim, 22nd Emperor of Tamriel, reigned from the Third Era, Year 433 to the Third Era, Year 433 for a couple of hours," is what they will write down.

No, not really. It was a split-second decision and it wasn't enitrely my idea.

The Hero of Kvatch. They...were more of a hero than I was.
