"So, the female leader of the Lost Valley Fortress is Alana, the former dissident of the Ghost Song Clan." The lord who has read many ancient books will definitely remember it correctly.

"First meeting, Lord." A distinctive crow hag stepped out of the crowd. Her eyes shone with the light of wisdom, and she was sober that there was no sign of madness at all. Apparently after transforming into a crow hag, this Ms. Alana

Gained powerful magic but overcame an equally powerful curse.

Speaking of the Unyielding Guard, we have to mention a series of major events that occurred in the Second Era.

In 2E 533, the black dragon Ducolach led a large group of Reach warriors to invade Cyrodiil, seized the Ruby Throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Since then, the Longhouse Dynasty began to rule the imperial capital, and the city of Markarth also returned

Under the authority of the Empire. The Reach War Lords who followed the black dragon Ducolach brought back many loot and captives from the front line, inspiring more Reach people to leave their homes in search of glory. Markarth's trade routes began to become very

The active, longhouse dynasty's empire brought Markarth City into a new era of prosperity. It was precisely because of the rise of various interest groups in Markarth City that the subsequent successor, Longhouse Emperor Morika, felt the need to establish a new era in Rich.

To exercise authority. Therefore, he appointed a cousin in the family, Kadak of the Black Dragon Clan, as the governor of Markas. However, Emperor Morika limited Kadak's power to the area where Markas City is located, and Reach's

Other areas still follow ancient traditions that allow local tribes to govern themselves. When Leovik, the last emperor of the Longhouse dynasty, was overthrown, Kadak, the governor of Markarth, adopted the ancient title "Ed", declaring his authority over the entire Reach.

The region had power and all tribe members who might challenge his authority were exiled or killed.

Ed Kadak declared that Reach was his tribe, and as long as other tribes could provide him with assistance and arms, he would not recruit them or interfere with them. Within five years, the Reach tribes all surrendered to him.

Although some tribes were reluctant to rule, no one dared to challenge his authority. To enemies and outsiders, he was the tyrant of Markarth. However, this name was not entirely accurate. In later generations, he was absolutely

Not a tyrant. Kadak used the knowledge he learned during his time in the Imperial City to transform Markarth into a modern city, a prosperity the Reach had never seen before.

In 2E 582, the Gray Army contacted the tyrant Ed Kadak of Markarth and proposed that if the Gray Army soldiers were allowed to search for a relic in Reach and all the people of Reach were allowed to stay in the city, then the city of Markarth would be destroyed.

Unscathed in Gray King Radha's imminent conquest. Although the tyrant Ed Kadak readily agreed to the agreement with the Gray Army at the suggestion of the witch's housekeeper Lady Beilein, some Reach people believed that this agreement was undesirable.

, leading them to establish the resistance organization Wayward Guardians. The leader Arana suggested that the people leave Markarth and go to the Rebel's Retreat, the stronghold of the Wayward Guardians under the Kars Spire Peak. Soon the Tyrant

Ed Kadak was surprised to find that this group of unyielding guards established to protect the Reach tribe had become the number one public enemy of the Markarth court.

Soon, Lord Velandis Ravenwatch and his assistants contacted the tyrant Ed Kadak of Markarth about the Gray Army. Ed Kadak's chief adviser, Lady Beilein, proposed that if Lord Ravenwatch

and his assistants were able to track down the Unyielding Guard and their leader, and listened to the two men. During their investigation, Lord Ravenwatch's assistants discovered Lady Beilein's loyalty to the Grays and her infiltration of Markarth's court, and

He also had great personal influence over the tyrant Ed Kadak. Count Crowwatch's assistant reported the findings to the tyrant Ed Kadak, which made him very unhappy. However, Kadak finally agreed.

Speak with Lord Crowwatch and ask the earl's assistant to go to Nchande-Zel (Under the Stone Fortress) to find out the Gray Army's plan.

Lord Crowwatch's assistant not only found out the Gray Army's plan, but also learned about the huge conspiracy involving the Heart of Darkness. Lady Beilein persuaded Nathari, the matriarch of the Ghostsong clan, to sacrifice the entire tribe to provide enough food for the Heart of Darkness.

Soul. Then he planned to use the souls of a large number of Reach people in Markarth to feed the Heart of Darkness. As the Storm of Misery was released, the Heart of Darkness was activated, and the Gray Army descended on Markarth and massacred them, using the Reach people's souls to

The soul is fed to the Heart of Darkness. At this time, Alana, the leader of the unyielding guard, and Ed Kadak, the tyrant of Markarth, have cleared up their old feud and joined forces to defend Markarth City. Mrs. Beilein tried to lead the troops to attack Ed, but was stopped by Ala

Na stopped her. In the ensuing conflict, Beilein and Alana both died in battle, and Velandis also died together with Radha. Finally, the soul swallowed by the Heart of Darkness returned to the world and resurrected everyone. Markarth thus

Life was restored again.

Shortly after her resurrection, Alana, the leader of the Unyielding Guard, went to Markarth City. The tyrant Ed Kadak appointed her as a new advisor and took over the position of witch housekeeper previously held by Mrs. Beilein. During this period, she participated in the mock debate and succeeded.

She facilitated the signing of the peace treaty between Reach and Nord, known as the "Miracle at Markarth". In the years that followed, she was determined to continue serving the people and guided Ed Kadak to become a Reacher.

The wise ruler needed. She also expressed in public that it was necessary to rebuild her small group (the Unyielding Guard) and "lend a helping hand" to the people in need. So her followers stayed in Markas.

Serving the citizens, protecting them from the remaining vampire armies in the name of the Unyielding Guard.

Like all famous figures in history, Alana's final ending is unknown.

It now appears that when Tiber Septim won the Battle of Old Holodan in 2E 852, both Reach and Markarth were occupied by the Nords in Skyrim. This battle left the Nords to the Reachers

Labeled as barbarians and lunatics, they were believed to be prone to unreasonable violence and worship heretical gods. After being annexed by the Third Empire of Tamriel, Markarth became the capital of the Reach realm in Skyrim to this day.

Perhaps from then on, Alana and her Unyielding Guards returned to the Lost Valley Fortress, the former base camp of the resistance, and together with the sisters in the Unyielding Guardians, they transformed into crow hags that only witches can transform, silently guarding Rui.

Until now. And those male guardians who could not become the crow hag have been transformed into the Heart of Thorns Warriors.

Regarding Arana, as Tayfaern of the Unyielding Guard said: "Arana's our king, queen and clan-witch bined."

"Salute to you, madam." The lord paid his respects from the bottom of his heart.

"We heard about your magical Dragon Breaking Law and the Golden Tree Ring." Even after transforming herself into a crow hag, Alana, the female leader of the Ghost Song clan, still retained her former glory: "We also saw the magic of Esmerelda.

Change. Guaranteed by Briar Crown Iola, the matriarch of the Shade Tree, so we sisters, please serve you and your laws."

"This is my honor." The Lord nodded happily.

The connotation of Alana's words is rich enough. First of all, she talked about Esmerelda, the leader of the Lonely Rock Witch Guild, and also vaguely mentioned Desola, the crow hag of Windy Cliffs. Not only was she born in the Shade Clan, but she was also an unyielding

The Guardian sisters got the guarantee of Briar Crown Iola, the matriarch of the shade tree, and it was obviously a matter of course. So under the leadership of Alana, "our king, queen and clan witch", almost all the crow hags in the Reach area were driven out.

Come to Graystone Castle and pay allegiance to the lord.

Of course, in addition to the witches of Reach, such as the only remaining Grimmoli Witch of Destiny in Skyrim, and the Archmage Sylvia of Celestia in the Blacklight Tower who wants to transform herself into a crow hag due to aging and disease, they also have their own legitimate rights.

For some reasons, they all gathered together at the Lone Rock Witch Coven. Then the president Esmerelda and the chief elder Isobel introduced her to the lord at the right time.

As for Alana and Isobel's acquaintance, it was because the crow hag chieftain sisters Mavlin and Felasha, who were from the Ghostsong clan and occupied the Cradle Stone Tower, were werewolves in the Unyielding Guard. Later, they went to Solseheim Island to find Etienne.

The three sisters Les and Isobel were treated for lycanthropy. After turning back into humans, they transformed into crow hags together with the guardian sisters.
