(This is little prelude to the story.)

Intro (Intro Theme)

Hummel stared down at the grave. He was standing there patiently, as if waiting for someone. A name and inscription are inscribed into the tombstone at the head of the grave.

Caecilia Hummel

Beloved Wife

The Legate was in decorative dress, armor you might see an Imperial Palace guard or Imperial City Captain wear. He was older, in his early sixties. He plays with the two rings on his left ring finger, as if nervous. The Falkreath air is cold and damp, and it is perilously close to raining. Although everyone else has long been inside, Hummel pays the weather no mind. His thoughts are focused on other more important things.

“I miss you so much.”   The Legate murmurs to the grave. Gratius Hummel had been putting this off too long now. But he swallowed his tears. He had made a promise to himself he wouldn’t get emotional. He pauses a long while before he speaks again. “There’s something I’ve got to do, Cece. Something I couldn’t do while you were here. I tried. You know I tried everything, and I still don’t have their attention. Let’s hope this elevates their thinking. But, whatever happens…”

Hummel reached into his satchel and pulls out   a red sash, like what you might see General Tullius wear.. It is a military honor in the Legion. He sets the sash on the top of the tombstone. He slips off the two weddings bands and set them there too.

“…please don’t think less of me.”

Hummel leaned forward and kissed the top of the tombstone, before walking away. It was time to put his final plan into action. He’d been dreading this moment for a long time.

(This isn’t the starting post, this is just plot reveal.   When enough character cards are down, I’ll start.)
