The Title of "Dragon Tank" derives from the choice of equipment I chose to use with Meredith, Heavy, [http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24941/? Dragonbone Ebonsteel] Armor and Dragonbone Greatsword.



As far as lore goes, Meredith was a walking dragon-funeral pyre, or rather that was what the initial write up was.

Back in 2010, I was writing a story and had a couple characters I didn't want to get rid off, even though they didn't have any part left. This was the story of average geek Leslie Taylor and the barbaric Aedryas Baront, following the Watchman Volker Saxon out of their virtual world, and as Leslie and Aedryas entered the real world, the Herald of Death claimed both of their lives for his purposes, seeing as they weren't and denied the right to be completely human.

As consolation, the two were given a wish that might be granted, and before Aedryas had a chance to speak, Leslie asked that Aedryas be free from the Herald's whims. The Herald accepted, giving Aedryas' Burden of Death to Leslie and sending Aedryas to the broken realms to die. However, upon getting there, Aedryas trained and learned from the survivors, becoming a warrior of personal nobility. It wasn't until she was framed for challenging the Rift Queen of Sunlight to a duel that she caught the Herald's eye once more.



Aedryas soundly defeated the RQS' lesser champions and was given a dusty crown of forgotten power as a prize. Little did either party know that not upon donning the crown but wearing it for a prolonged time made the bearer reap far more benefits from training and exercise, effectively empowering Aedryas to challenge even the fullest of armies.

Leslie, on the other end of the luck spectrum, was crowned Queen of Death, despite numerous well-qualified practitioners of the Herald's art, including a pair of sisters who actively sought and nearly managed to assassinate Leslie for the crown. Unable to bear the burden, the Herald stripped Leslie of her powers for three days, before forcing her to kill the superpowered Aedryas without her exemption from death.

Despite Aedryas' attempts to convince that Leslie should give up on her non-committed attempts to serve the Herald, self-preservation pushed Leslie to cripple Aedryas and destroy her artifact, but eventually spared Aedryas' life in favor for a few more moments with her friend before the Herald claimed Leslie's life. It was then that Aedryas claim her wish, that in exchange for her memories of the events that led up this point, that Aedryas and Leslie could live without the Herald's further influence.

The Herald, finding the loophole, wiped Aedryas' mind and never revived Leslie, only noting that he'll come for the woman that was Aedryas when she too, awake again before Death's door.
