Vvardenfell
|
Though its been some years, and both news and interest has dwindled to barely a trickle, Alekt spent some months raiding criminal organizations such as the Camora Tong and houses like the Telvanni to free many slaves from their bonds, and made quite a few enemies in doing so. Unfortunately for those enemies, Alekt has changed appearance since then, and those activities were prior to forming his Branch Clan, though there may be a few here and there - namely some of the slaves he helped get free, who may remember him and his deeds.

Cyrodiil / Aldmeri Dominion |
Early into the creation of his Branch Clan, Alekt helped serve the Aldmeri Dominion as an intel gatherer and scout on the front lines of Cyrodiil, finding it the safer option than either the Pact or Covenant, who were more largely familiar with Reachmen than most Altmer, Khajiit, or Bosmer were. Given his small stature, it was an easy enough endeavor to disguise his ears and eyes to pass as a Bosmer and slip into the lower military ranks easily.

Bangkorai
|
The location of the Clan's first true base of operations, an old abandoned Orc stronghold tucked deep between the wild Veridian forests and the mountains edging Craglorn. Its since fallen into disuse as the Clan's operations have moved, but they do return from time to time and have done some courier work for the Covenant taking messages and supply caravans to the front lines.
|
Elsweyr
|
One of the places where the Clan first made its mark in earnest. Contrary to the aims of most mercenary factions, Alekt and his Clan didn't chase the dragons that appeared in Elsweyr for profit, often forgoing payment to help the native Khajiit whose homes were attacked and ravaged by magic-spewing beasts. While perhaps seen as generous, it was not without reason. Their altruistic approach allowed their reputation to spread like wildfire among the locals before long, especially among the poorer populace of catfolk and refugees. Though they retreated from the region once the Dragonguard was formed in Pellitine, their deeds in Anequina were far from forgotten, and their names are still known and spoken of among Sai Sahan's dragon fighter ranks.

Rivenspire
|
The location of their second headquarters for more than a year. It was chosen for many reasons, some less spoken of, but nonetheless all relevant factors. In particular, the Clan headquartered itself in an empty house in Fell's Run, making arrangements with Shornhelm and the mayor of Fell's to have free rein to use the nearby land for their purposes and operations, in exchange for unpaid protection of the town's borders against threat and invasion, as well as the regions near to it. This deal held for a good deal of time, even after the town was taken over by the self-declared "Lord of Fell's Run", but as the town became more popular to travelers and troublemakers alike with no respect for the regional laws, relations between the local landlord and the Clan steadily soured. When news of vampires and the Harrowstorms began to spread, Alekt and the Clan officially retired from militia duty and abandoned their base of operations in favor of Solitude.

Western Skyrim |
Best known for their fight against the Gray Host and the Harrowstorms, plunging into the thick of it and even helping the new Jarl rise to the throne of Solitude. For the most part, they are well-liked among Solitude's militia, and there's some mutual fondness between Alekt and Svana for the part they played in helping her kingdom.
|
The Reach |
Unarguably where Alekt's reputation runs the highest. He is known as the "Crow-King", a proven guardian of the Reach, and one of many who stood up and struck down the Gray Host as well as the Nozarga cult who threatened the north. Victories that were not without heavy costs, but conflicts that also didn't claim his life or his resolve. His involvement and achievements in both wars, as well as his willingness to walk among "Outsiders" without hesitation, and the good relations he has with the Jarls of both East and Western Skyrim, have led him to take up the role of an Ambassador for the Reach and Ard Caddach at the Ard's own request.

Blackwood |
Somewhere that he spent some while, and hated every moment of it. Alekt and his Clan became decently known among the Ivory Brigade and Keshu's Gideon troops for their help regarding the Ambitions, though it certainly didn't hurt that they already had a well-spoken-of reputation in northern Elsweyr just over the region's border. Though they did help to push back a few invasions by the Waking Flame and even Dagon himself for a brief moment, he and half of his Clan were also quick to return north when leads on the Ambitions and the Longhouse Emperors ran dry.
|
The Evergloam |
News travels fast in a dark realm inhabited by loud-mouthed daedric crows, so among those well-connected to the Daedric Prince Nocturnal, its not too difficult to hear of who holds the title of Champion. Alekt's status is much less a great secret to beings of the Gloam who are in-the-know than it is on Nirn itself, and its a title he holds with pride and isn't afraid to admit to fellows of the dark.
|
The Hunting Grounds
|
Alekt is not unknown to the Hunting Grounds or Hircine himself. While he has since been pardoned through deeds done on the behalf of the Prince of the Hunt, the moniker of the "Thief of Champions" remains, someone who would hide Hircine's own wolves from him and cheat the Hunter from claiming his Hare unfairly, and there are few things Hircine despises more than cheating a hunt, or those who willingly take his gifts to later renounce them. While no longer an explicit enemy, Alekt treads thin ice in this Prince's eyes, and Hircine is sure to make his Chosen aware of the Champion Thief and his dishonor.
|
The Deadlands |
Not so well-known as he is in the Hunting Grounds or the Gloam by a longshot, but he is someone to have meddled in the Prince of Destruction's plots, namely those that involve the Ambitions. For now, nothing more than a blip of annoyance on Mehrunes Dagon's radar, but a blip worth watching out for none the less.
