Rawel of Elinhir, the Witcher of Skyrim | Skyrim Build Guide
THE DEMONS & HUNTERS SERIES: EPISODE 2
In response to the events of the Interregnum, a sect of Mages in Elinhir used Alchemy and Arcane Rituals to create a warrior capable of fighting off Monsters, Mages and Demons alike: The Witcher.
You are one such warrior.
An orphan, hardened and honed by a childhood on the streets, you were taken in by the declining sect of Mages. There, you were subjected to the same training, rituals and alchemical transformations developed centuries ago. Proficient with virtually any weapon or tool, you favour the Steel Sword, Silver Sword and Crossbow. Resistant to poisons, you use them to your advantage and extend your alchemical skill to crafting potions for enhancing your already formidable abilities. Well-educated in survival techniques, as well as the abilities and weaknesses of your enemies, you can adapt to any situation.
While plying your trade in Hammerfell, you pursue a Vampire east over the Dragontail Mountains and into Falkreath Hold. When you eventually run down your quarry and slay the vile creature, you are caught in the act by an Imperial patrol. Overwhelmingly outnumbered and not one to harm innocents, you surrender, expecting the chance to explain yourself. Rather, you are unceremoniously struck over the head and knocked out, then bound, bundled into a wagon and carted off for Helgen.
The rest is up to you.
The build can be completed in SE and augmented in AE. The build was made in Skyrim AE. Played on Nintendo Switch, so no mods! The entire playthrough was on Legendary difficulty with Survival Mode.
