It makes a world out of a canvas, and loves this world. It crafts narratives, tales, words, songs, legends and memories. It makes a world out of a piece of paper, and loves this world. It has air and water and fire and earth and seasons and dimensions and planes. It sings of a Ninth when there are only Eight, and it dies for it. It kills defilers and does so with weaponry. It feeds, and nurtures, and teaches, and assists the child. Its nature is to run away from pain and chase pleasure. It spends blood when shedding its life and must rest to recover it. It spends focus when casting its will and must meditate to recover it. It spends energy when exerting its body and must eat to recover it. Why should I spare you our shared madness? But I am already insane, and I am you, and I know this, so you know this. They say this knowledge is meant to be attained slowly, not shared abruptly, or it can make one insane. Here is why the Justiciars cackle and burn and torture and rejoice, for they do not. Here is why our beautiful and radiant and merciful Queen hides away and despairs and wastes away and cries, for she cares about this world.

Here is how to know the only knowing that even the Man in the Woods will never, ever pay you for, for it fears this knowing and avoids it for it would ruin and spoil all other knowings. Here is what to learn if you wish to pray at a temple of heresy before torching it, or sing the songs of Talos without irony and then strike down a Man for doing it in the same occasion, or speak plain heresy in a public square of Alinor and be left alone by the Justiciars, for they fear your Madness and Knowledge. If he is indeed in Riften, he must not be given an opportunity to flee.Here is what to learn if you want to understand why your wise Teachers laugh, rage, and sob in their feasts, rambling and shouting about esoteric and surreal and dreadful and painful and hilarious existential concepts only they seem to understand. We must proceed carefully to avoid Esbern becoming alerted to his danger. Interrogation of a possible eyewitness is on-going. We have recently obtained solid information that Esbern is still alive and hiding somewhere in Riften. It cannot be ruled out that the Blades themselves are somehow connected to the dragons' return. Thus Esbern remains our best opportunity to learn how and why the dragons have returned.
The archives of Cloud Ruler Temple, which is believed to have been the primary repository of the oldest Blades lore, were largely destroyed during the siege, and although great effort has been made to reconstruct what was lost, it now appears that most of the records related to dragons were either removed or destroyed prior to our attack. Regrettably, we have yet to match their expertise on the subject of dragons, which was derived from their Akaviri origins and is still far superior to our own (which remains largely theoretical). Operational Notes: As we are still in the dark as to the cause and meaning of the return of the dragons, I have made capturing Esbern our top priority, as he is known to be one of the experts in the dragonlore of the Blades. All are to be found and justice exacted upon them.
A salutary reminder to all operational levels that no Blades agent should be considered low priority for any reason. His file had remained dormant for many years, an inexcusable error on the part of my predecessor (who has been recalled to Alinor for punishment and reeducation), in the erroneous belief that he was unlikely to pose a threat due to his advanced age and lack of field experience. He was not a field agent, but is now believed to have been behind some of the most damaging operations carried out by the Blades during the pre-war years, including the Falinesti Incident and the breach of the Blue River Prison. Status: Fugitive (Capture Only), Highest Priority, Emissary Level Approvalīackground: Esbern was one of the Blades loremasters prior to the First War Against the Empire.
