Destri Melarg (3E 20 - 3E 133)

Destri Malarg was a well-known historian and translator of old Redguard verse, born as simply Destri in the city-state of Rihad in 3E 20. He is the author of the books Divad The Singer, Redguards, Their History and Their Heroes, and Notes For Redguard History amoung many others. At the age of nineteen, he went to the Imperial City to study. There were few Redguards who had been to the Imperial Province at the time, and it may be that he took the last name Melarg in order to assimiliate with the Breton, Nordic, and Dark Elf cultures he encountered there. When he died ninety-four years later in 3E 133, he left numerous unfinished histories and untranslated verse. Unfortunately, very few of this fragmented work has found its way out of collections.

Divad Hunding (1E 760 - ?d)

Divad was the only son of Frandar Hunding, and was born late in Hunding's life (2396 in the old way of reckoning, probably about 1E 760. Although the son of a famous hero, Divad rejected the Way of the Sword from early on in life, taking the life of a bard instead and gaining a great deal of fame that way. Although he did not publicly take to the sword, rumours have that he practiced the form of the Way known as Shehai Shen She Ru -- the Way of the Spirit Sword, or simply the Shehai. When Emperor Hira began to persecute the sword-singers, Divad was first on his list due to his fame. The emperor sent 100 of his guards to arrest him and arrived while Divad was eatting with his elderly mother. They successfully arrested him and had him in chains when one of the guards cruelly struck his mother, killing her. That act ignited in Divad the spirit of the Way. The moment of her death, Divad rose from his seat, took his chains between his two hands and began swinging the heavy chain in a deadly arc. He slew four of the guards, gaining enough space to run and dive through the window and into the river and disappeared into the night. From then Divad was spotted many times to foil Hira's plans, many more than would be possible for one man to accomplish however.

Divad approached Hunding and convinced him to lead the war against the emperor and acted as Hunding's advisor.

Dylxexes (?b - ?d)

A human scholar who studied the records of the Direnni Hegemony, a High Elven merchant family who exploited their human kingdoms had this to say on the scarcity of Elven writings:

These [records] may help explain why so much of Aldmeri literature is forbidden, scorned, or untranslated, for I have seen [their] like before. The Direnni were either exceedingly paranoid or thier system of economy so inextricably linked with dangerous theosophist numeral-symbolism that much of what is recorded here requires ... sorcerous precautions on the part of the reader. [Hidden magic] is everywhere incorporated in thier writings...signs and preternatural runes and [correspondences]... in expenditure columns, even, or margins [that] can be fatal to the uninitiated. Crucial pages were covered in spittle of the previous translator, who had babbled idiotically over the text for days before catching fire.
