The atmosphere of the temple is eerie to say the least, I felt as if the shadows themselves were trying to beckon me into their embrace... permanently.
I thought I would have to deal with the uncomfortable feeling the entire time inside, but Meridia came through quickly and a beam of sacred...

"Why me..."
Davos groans as their little group makes its way up the mountain toward the temple sitting upon its peak.
"Oh come now Davos" Reyvin says cheerfully "Even the brat isn't complaining."
Marco merely grunts, having no energy to respond.

2023-08-18 19:57:17 +0000 UTC View PostI blinked my tired eyes open and winced in pain, mage or not pissing off an Orc is never a good idea... Even my healing was taking its time to kick in. The worst part of it all was explaining to Davos and Sybille just why exactly I came back to the tower looking like I tried to seduce a troll. 2023-08-16 21:14:35 +0000 UTC View Post
I found the Daedric section of the library without much issue, really it was impossible to miss as there were massive glowing warning signs spelling out in no uncertain terms that everyone touching the books contained within does so on their own responsibility, with the usual warnings of what dea...
2023-08-15 20:44:51 +0000 UTC View PostIt took a good three days of focusing on my work for my paranoia and twitchiness to die down after that event. I knew Azura was going to show up at some point and make some outrageous demand from me, even if she somehow wasn't a proud and vain Prince she had an 'excuse' to make a demand so she wo...

The banquet went on without any further mishaps. Honestly, I was surprised by Erikur's lack of subtlety, a small part of me hoped he would be some hidden mastermind just because a brat in power annoys me more than him possibly being a true threat.
My evening spent with ...
2023-08-12 22:32:45 +0000 UTC View PostAs we approached the palace Marco kept getting progressively more nervous, suspiciously so after a point.
"Why so twitchy Marco, you wanted by the crown or something?" I ask teasingly.
He stops for a second "Wha-" and quickly shakes his head "Of course not!"

A Dunmer shrouded in light armor and a hooded cloak skulks through the streets of the now quiet town of Rorikstead, the rings of muffling and stealth bought from his employer for a pittance ensuring he isn't seen or heard by any who might still be awake at this hour.
