The black drapery covering Scadu’s skeletal frame fluttered slightly in the cool autumn breeze as the steed trotted steadily along the cobblestone road. Erik sat atop the undead horse, his dark cloak blending with the shadows cast by the jagged rocks and towering trees lining the path.

Erik hummed to himself, a low, steady tune that carried softly through the cooling evening air as he strolled through Riften's market square.

Erik forced himself to his feet, biting down on the agony that lanced through his body. His limbs trembled, his bones screaming in protest, but there was no time for weakness. Not now.

Erik charged toward Rahgot with fierce determination, his straight sword gleaming in the dim light of the chamber. The dragon priest floated above the stone floor, his skeletal mask locked in a permanent grimace as he conjured flames and ice, ready to hurl at Erik.

But Erik was not o...

The crackling fire offered some reprieve from the cold stone walls of Forelhost as the group huddled around it, drying their soaked clothes. The Refectory was just beyond them now, the sealed upper portion of the ruin they had fought so hard to reach. Getting there had been a grueling ordeal, fil...

Skyrim: Lore Accurate Necromancer #24

Erik stood at the edge of the Forelhost courtyard, Geri trailing close behind him, the corgi's paws leaving faint tracks in the freshly fallen snow. The biting cold wind tugged at the edges of his cloak, but Erik barely noticed. His gaze was fixed ahead, taking in the sight before him. The...

Walking out of the cave, Erik glanced down at the ebony fragment in his hand. Wrapped tightly in coarse cloth, the dark metal piece was decorated with jagged, intricate lines, hints of something far greater than the fragment he now held. It didn’t take a trained eye to see that this sliver of e...

With a snap of Erik’s fingers, Helrath materialized from a swirl of dark energy, his skeletal form now more imposing than ever. His bones, once a dull and decayed black, gleamed in the dim light as though forged from shadow itself.

The spectral flame burning within his hollow eye ...

Erik made his way down Riften’s narrow streets, heading toward the unmistakable clang of metal against metal. Geri trotted alongside him, the Corgi's ears perking up at every sound of the bustling city. The smoke of forges and the tang of molten metal filled the air as they approached the Scorc...

Skyrim: Lore Accurate Necromancer #19

Erik strode along the damp and creaking docks of Riften, the soft lapping of Lake Honrich’s waters against the pier a distant murmur beneath his boots. Geri padded silently beside him, his fur blending into the mist rolling in from the water. Erik's conversation with Brynjolf replayed over and ...

Skyrim: Lore Accurate Necromancer #18

The Bee and the Barb was alive with activity despite the early hour. The warm glow of the hearth reflected off the polished wooden walls, the logs stacked tightly to form the inn’s sturdy structure.

Aela the Huntress moved swiftly through the sulfurous wasteland, her breath steady despite the acrid air. Her quarry—a hulking, three-eyed troll—let out a guttural roar, its breath visible even in the heat of the sulfur pools. She had drawn it from its cave, luring it here to these sco...

Skyrim: Lore Accurate Necromancer #16

Erik stood before the pillar, his hand hovering just above its surface. He could feel the faint hum of power radiating from the ancient stone, its Daedric script glowing faintly beneath the snow-dusted runes. The wind howled through the peaks of the mountain, biting at his skin, but his attention...

Skyrim: Lore Accurate Necromancer #15

Erik strolled out of Windhelm, the frigid air biting at his skin, though he barely felt it. The crunch of snow beneath his boots was a familiar sound by now. Windhelm’s great stone bridge stretched out before him, its ancient architecture rugged against the morning mist that hung over the icy r...

The wooden table in front of Erik was laden with a wide array of ingredients, each one carefully sorted and neatly presented.

Erik woke with a grimace, blinking against the dim light filtering through the thin curtains. His head pounded slightly as if echoing the remnants of a dream. He rubbed his forehead, letting out a slow breath before glancing down.

Calixto, thinking he had done a decent job of masking his true thoughts, hummed thoughtfully, tapping his chin in an attempt to appear pensive. "I think I may have seen something like—"

His sentence was abruptly cut short as he felt something cold and unyielding press against his t...

It was midday, and a biting wind howled across the tundra, scattering snowflakes like white ash over the barren ground. The sky was a bleak expanse of gray, and the cold seemed to seep into Erik’s bones as he urged Scadu forward.

The undead steed’s hooves crunched the snow beneat...

Skyrim: Lore Accurate Necromancer #10

Striding across the creaking wooden bridge toward Morthal, Erik’s mind wandered back to the loot he had claimed from Movarth’s lair after the battle. Geri trotted behind him, occasionally pausing to sniff at the rotting logs or gaze curiously at the mist-covered marshlands. The grim remnants ...

The chamber was vast and dimly lit, the flicker of torches casting long, dancing shadows across the cold, damp stone walls. The stench hit Erik the moment he entered—a sickening mix of decayed flesh and rotting blood. He wrinkled his nose in disgust, his eyes scanning the area.

Skyrim: Lore Accurate Necromancer #7

Finally realizing he couldn’t figure out what Geri was—or what it was doing here—Erik decided to let the matter go, at least for now. After a few more half-hearted probes, it became clear the corgi wasn’t going to reveal anything beyond its cheerful demeanor.

While it was und...

Erik declared, "Who's next?" as he turned to face the remaining bandits. But he paused, eyebrows raised, as he realized there were no opponents left standing. The area was littered with the grisly remnants of what had once been men and women, now reduced to bone fragments and bloody paste beneath...

Behold, Erik and Scadu!

Here's some AI generated art, because, why not?

Skyrim: Lore Accurate Necromancer #4

Erik stood in front of a tall, dust-coated mirror in the underground bedroom, silently adjusting his attire. He had grown accustomed to the reflection that stared back at him, the face of a man long dead but now his own.
