Well, I'm very curios about the "Tigers" everytime I read about akavir....just saying....

As for the blades I'm all for the survival of man, so sure they jumped to extremes but look at the land they came from (the OG's anyways, who like wrote the blades code) and what we know of Akavir (which is not A LOT but we still know a fair deal). Also dealing with post Tiber blades we have to take into consideration the influence of years of service and a slight shift in their goals.

And btw is there a point to recruiting people to the blades in Skyrim? Like does it actually change anything in the game? I've never noticed.

All this to say, like any of the factions in Nirn-ish history, they have a very "colourful" and interesting history. What interests me more than where they come from or what they've done up until now....is what does the future hold for the blades with the approaching of the great battles between men and mer immanent? And what role will the Dovahkin fill in the future? Will their main goal still be to protect him and reunite the empire, or are they now more interested in what the heart of the issue in Tamriel is....survival and ascension.
