Who is Torasa?

Torasa Arem, a former Dark Elf curator of the Mournhold Museum in Morrowind, is a venerable figure, having lived for over 400 years. Throughout her long life, she has witnessed the rise and fall of kingdoms, the shifting tides of magic, and the ravages of war. During the catastrophic sacking of Mournhold, Torasa made valiant efforts to protect the invaluable relics in her care. In a desperate bid to safeguard the artifacts, she attempted to smuggle them out of the province. However, her efforts were largely unsuccessful, and many of the relics were lost. Forcing her to barter these treasures in exchange for safe passage, a decision that has weighed heavily on her heart.
Torasa deeply regrets the loss of her homeland, yet she understands that, given the circumstances, it was beyond her power to prevent. Despite these painful memories, she carries on, driven by the hope that some remnants of Morrowind’s history might still survive.
In addition to her role as a curator, Torasa is one of the few remaining practitioners of the ancient school of Mysticism. Once a prominent school of magic, Mysticism was gradually absorbed into other magical disciplines, such as Illusion and Alteration, following the Mages Guild’s subversion of its practices. As one of the last practitioners of this forgotten art, Torasa holds a wealth of esoteric knowledge and is a living testament to a magical tradition that has largely faded from the world.
