Ahzirr Traajijazeri Content . The public manifesto of the Khajiit organization Renrijra Krin . This is an absurd book . But like all things Khajiiti , as the expression goes , " gzalzi vaberzarita maaszi " , or " absurdity has become necessity . " Much of what I have to say has probably never been written before , and if it has , no one has read it . The Imperial s feel that everything must be written down for posterity , but every Khajiiti kitten born in Elsweyr knows his history , he drinks it in with his mother ' s milk . Fairly recently , however , our struggles to win back our homeland from the rapacious Count of Leyawiin have attracted sympathetic persons , even Imperials , who wish to join our cause , but , it seems , do not understand our ways . Our enemies , of course , do not understand us either , but that is as we wish it , a weapon in our arsenal . Our non - Khajiiti friends , however , should know who we are , why we are , and what we are doing . The Khajiit mind is not engineered for self - reflection . We simply do what we do , and let the world be damned . To put into words and rationalize our philosophy is foreign , and I cannot guarantee that even after reading this , you will understand us . Grasp this simple truth - - " q ' zi no vano thzina ualizz " - - " When I contradict myself , I am telling the truth . " We are the Renrijra Krin . " The Mercenary ' s Grin¸ " " The Laugh of the Landless , " and " The Smiling Scum " would all be fair translations . It is a derogatory expression , but it is amusing so we have adopted it . We have anger in our hearts , but not on our faces . We fight for Elsweyr , but we do not ally ourselves with the Mane , who symbolizes our land . We believe in justice , but do not follow laws . " Q ' zi no vano thzina ualizz . " These are not rules , for there is no word for " rules " in Ta ' agra . Call them our " thjizzrini " - - " foolish concepts . " 1 . " Vaba Do ' Shurh ' do " : " It Is Good To Be Brave " We are struggling against impossible odds , against the very Empire of Tamriel . Our cause is the noblest cause of all : defense of home . If we fail , we betray our past and our future . Our dead are " Ri ' sallidad " , which may be interpreted as " martyrs " in the truest , best sense of that word which is so often misused . We honor their sacrifice and , beneath our smiles , mourn them deeply . Our bravery most obviously shows in the smile that is the " Krin " part of our name . This does not mean that we walk about grinning like the idiotic baboonish Imga of Valenwood . We simply are entertained by adversary . We find an equal , fair fight tiresome in the extreme . We confidently smile because we know our victory in the end is assured . And we know our smiles drive our enemies insane . 2 . " Vaba Maaszi Lhajiito " : " It Is Necessary To Run Away " We are struggling against impossible odds , against the very Empire of Tamriel . Honor is madness . Yes , we loved the Renrijra Krin who died in brave battle against the forces of the Empire , but I guarantee you that each of those Ri ' sallidad had an escape route he or she failed to use , and died saying , " Damn . " When the great Senche - Raht comes to the Saimisil Steppes , he will find himself unable to hunt , unable to sleep , as the tiny Alfiq leap onto his back , biting him , and running off before he has a chance to turn his great body to face them . Eventually , though he may stubbornly hope to catch the Alfiq , the Senche - Raht always leaves . They are our cousins , the Alfiq , and we have adopted their strategy against the great tiger of Leyawiin . Do not ally yourself with the Renrij if you yearn to be part of a mighty army , marching resolutely forth , for whom retreat is anathema . We will laugh at your suicidal idiocy as we slip into the reeds of the river , and watch the inevitable slaughter . 3 . " Fusozay Var Var " : " Enjoy Life " Life is short . If you have not made love recently , please , put down this book , and take care of that with all haste . Find a wanton lass or a frisky lad , or several , in whatever combination your wise loins direct , and do not under any circumstances play hard to get . Our struggle against the colossal forces of oppression can wait . Good . Welcome back . We Renrijra Krin live and fight together , and know that Leyawiin and the Empire will not give way very soon , likely not in our lifetimes . In the time we have , we do not want our closest comrades to be dour , dull , colorless , sober , and virginal . If we did , we would have joined the Emperor ' s Blades . Do not begrudge us our lewd jokes , our bawdy , drunken nights , our moonsugar . They are the pleasures that Leyawiin denies us , and so we take our good humor very seriously . 4 . " Fusozay Var Dar " : " Kill Without Qualm " Life is short . Very short , as many have learned when they have crossed the Renrijra Krin . We fight dirty . If an enemy is facing us , we might consider our options , and even slip away if his sword looks too big . If his back is to us , however , I personally favor knocking him down , and then jumping on his neck where the bones snap with a gratifying crunch . Of course , it is up to you and your personal style . 5 . " Ahzirr Durrarriss " : " We Give Freely To The People " Let us not forget our purpose . We are fighting for our families , the Khajiiti driven from the rich , fertile shores of Lake Makapi and the River Malapi , where they and their ancestors lived since time immemorial . It is our battle , but their tragedy . We must show them , lest they are swayed by other rhetoric , that we are fighting for them . The Mane , The Emperor , and The Count can give speech es , pass laws , and , living life in the open , explain their positions and philosophies to their people to stave off the inevitable revolution . Extralegal entities , such as the Renrijra Krin , must make our actions count for our words . This means more than fighting the good fight , and having a laugh at our befuddled adversaries . It means engaging and seducing the people . Ours is not a military war , it is a political war . If the people rise up against our oppressors , they will retreat , and we will win . Give to these people , whenever possible , gold , moonsugar , and our strong arms , and though they hide , their hearts will be with us . 6 . " Ahzirr Traajijazeri " : " We Justly Take By Force " Let us not forget our purpose . We are thieves and thugs , smugglers and saboteurs . If we cannot take a farm , we burn it to the ground . If the Imperials garrisoned in a glorious ancient stronghold , beloved by our ancestors , will not yield , we tear the structure apart . If the only way to rescue the land from the Leyawiin misappropriation is to make it uninhabitable by all , so be it . We want our life and our home back as it was twenty years ago , but if that is not realistic , then we will accept a different simple , pragmatic goal . " Revenge . With a smile . "
