Blades

See The Elder Scrolls Wiki for more information.''
 * ''This page is about the Blades in this mod and contains relevant information only.

The Blades are a notorious, outlawed group of spies. Their main purpose is finding and protecting the Dragonborn and assisting him/her in defeating the World-Eater. The Blades are prominently present in the Main Quest and will go through a major overhaul.

Recruitment
During the Main Quest, many characters get recruited. When they join, they join the cause of the Dragonborn, not the outlawed group known as Blades. They will help the Dragonborn on his/her quest to defeat Alduin. They aren't officially part of what people know as the Blades. They are merely a group of dragon hunters. Before the World Eaters Eyrie quest starts, a ceremony will be held in which the recruits will do the Blades Oath and become official members of the Blades.

Philosophy
"Dragons are evil." That's basically what the Blades think. They see the Dragonborn as the ultimate dragon slayer.

The Blades don't see the Dragonborn as a person. They don't care about personal beliefs or anything like that. Defeating Alduin is all they care about and is the only thing the Dragonborn should be concerned with. This results in the Blades using the Dragonborn like a tool, rather then a person.

The Dragonborn will need to earn the trust of the Blades, otherwise they will keep seeing him/her as a tool. Once the Dragonborn has that trust, he/she has some credibility and is able to convince the Blades to do things differently. This will play a major role during the Paarthurnax quest, when trying to convince the Blades to go the Path of the Dovah Fahdon.

The Thalmor
The Thalmor is actively hunting down any member of the Blades they can find. They are the reason the Blades are disbanded, outlawed and almost completely destroyed. But they also pose a threat to the Dragonborn. The Blades have failed to defeat the Thalmor before, making them a really big threat and nemesis.

The Greybeards
Although they are not considered enemies, the Blades dislike the Greybeards very much. The Blades don't trust them and think twice before letting the Dragonborn go back to. The main reason for this dispute is the difference in their philosophy.
