The Blades are a fictional organization in The Elder Scrolls game series, including The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. They were originally intended to be a fighting team from Dune, Elsewyr in the original concept of Arena, but when Arena’s plot and gameplay were reworked to be what it is now, the Blades were adopted instead as the guardians of the Emperor [1].
