Sun - in - Shadow Sun - in - Shadow was an Argonian Oathman of the Great House Telvanni . Once a slave of House Telvanni , Sun - in - Shadow remains in history as the only Argonian member of House Telvanni , rising to the rank of Oathman and acquiring property that became Tel Vos . History . Second Era . Sun - in - Shadow was born into slavery under House Telvanni , just like her parents before her . Before she was able to pick up the broom , she studied in the arcane arts and spellcrafting . She grew up in Sadrith Mora , meeting with other Argonian slaves , including Eoki , whom she fell in love with . As time went on , Sun - in - Shadow had garnered the attention of Magister Therana , having more potential than other aspiring Telvanni mages . Knowing this , Sun - in - Shadow hatched a plan where she would rise through the ranks of House Telvanni until she can free slaves . On a fateful day in 2E 583 , Sun - in - Shadow encountered an Outlander , who held the potential of carrying out the mission . The Argonian slave sent the Outlander to the ruins of Zaintiraris , to retrieve the finger bone of St . Felms and bring it to Therana at her new home , Tel Branora . With the bone given , Magister Therana created an endorsement that was given to the Telvanni Council in Tel Naga . In the end , Sun - in - Shadow was freed from slavery and became a hireling of House Telvanni . Though her journey didn ' t end here . Now that she was a hireling , she sought out a piece of property for a new Telvanni tower located on the outskirts of Vos . Though the deed was taken by a Telvanni wizard named Jinrisa , though it was stolen and taken to Master Firuth , who was originally looking for the land . When the Outlander visited Firuth at Hanud , the Telvanni Master gave Sun - in - Shadow the endorsement for the land and sponsored her elevation to Retainer . It was at the point , Sun - in - Shadow had become a Retainer of House Telvanni and acquired property that would eventually become Tel Vos . After becoming Retainer , she quickly submitted a petition for to become an Oathman and both she and the Outlander were brought before the Council quickly . Unfortunately , Archmagister Gothren had forbidden any more progress for Sun - in - Shadow , prompting both the Argonian and the Outlander to convene with Gothren at Tel Aruhn . Before meeting with Gothren , the Outlander spoke with Ralasa Delvi , the Mouth of Archmagister Gothren , who told them that Gothren had opposed any more petitions , believing that beastfolk are not allowed among the Telvanni . With that in mind , the Outlander and Sun - in - Shadow travel to Tel Aruhn , where they meet Arith Sendrul , an assistant of Gothren . The three convene with each other and come up with a plan to make Sendrul , Gothren ' s mouth . If they retrieved stolen relics from escaped slaves that left for Shashpilamat , then it will get them closer to their goal . As the Outlander found the slave , Ralasa ' s people had followed them , taking the slaves , opposing the Outlander ' s intentions . Because of this , Sun - in - Shadow would send the Outlander to assassinate Ralasa Delvi , since it is common among the Telvanni . Delvi would be killed , either through the Outlander ' s hand or poisoned Marshmerrow cake . Regardless , Sendrul was promoted to Mouth of Gothren and Sun - in - Shadow was able to become an Oathman , but Gothren himself did not take this lightly , whatsoever . Magister Gothren had ordered his henchmen to kidnap Sun - in - Shadow from her home in Sadrith Mora . Because of this , Gothren blackmailed the Outlander to get information on Nelos Otheri , the Archmagister of Sadrith Mora . The Outlander stole his journal from the tower of Tel Naga , even taking Otheri ' s Dwarven Prism from the Zalkin - Sul Egg Mine , which connects to the ruins of Mzanchend . With these items in his grasp , Sun - in - Shadow was released from Gothren ' s hold . But she enters a crossroad , whether she must continue her endeavor as a Telvanni Oathman or continue her relationship with Eoki , the love of her life . Eoki stormed out of her home , accusing her of abandoning their fellow Argonian slaves . Behind the scenes , Eoki has been in contact with the Ropefish , an abolitionist group that operates in Vvardenfell . As the Outlander made contact with Atarga and Lagdabash at the Gateway Inn , their plan of taking the Argonians out of Vvardenfell was going successfully . Eoki and the Outlander travel to Vassamsi Grotto where they met with the Ropefish and the Argonian slaves . Though , they were followed by Sun - in - Shadow and Slavemaster Arenim , with a brigand of guards . In the Outlander was able to defeat Arenim , but the fate of Eoki is unknown . Sun - in - Shadow remained an Oathman of House Telvanni , but Eoki was either kept as her slave or had escaped to Black Marsh . Legacy . As of now , Sun - in - Shadow is the only non - Dunmer and former slave that became an Oathman of House Telvanni . The property that she occupied near Vos would become the tower of Tel Vos . Unlike the other Magisters in House Telvanni , she has sympathy for the lesser races of Tamriel , which becomes a trend of Tel Vos owners , as seen with Aryon . Her rise to Oathman goes to show how little the House Telvanni care about other races , considering their mistreatment to the beastfolk and human races . Sun - in - Shadow is a prime example of success , starting from the bottom of the caste , to a substantial level . It is unknown whether Sun - in - Shadow elevated to a higher rank such as a Wizard or Magister .
