The Lady Stone or Steed Stone are good late-game choices. Stone: The Lord Stone is handy at lower levels, for the magic resist more than the armor, but it will become obsolete as our armor gets stronger. The emphasis in our spellcasting is on magicka regeneration, for healing in the heat of battle, not pure volume of magic, and the Keeper thus has no problem using his whole magicka pool to open a fight, as his combat prowess is enough to do the rest of the dirty work. Altmer would not be out of place either, but magic skills are more support than a focus.

Race: I chose Imperial, because it has all the major skill groups, but the Keepers of the Razor were a multi-national organization, so Redguard and Orc would also be fairly good choices. I will restore the honor of my family, of the Keepers of the Razor. I have years and scars to show for it, but I have found him. If that fiend thought he could save himself by running, he was wrong. He razed my home, killed much of my family, all for an empty scabbard? No matter.

How could I have lost it? For two hundred years my sires and grandsires and their forebears had kept it secret, had kept it safe, and now I have lost it. Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely…
