FOREWORD

Wulf Septim, the fifty-second Emperor of Tamriel, husband of Rigmor Ragnarsdottier, The High Queen of Tamriel, and father to Empress Kintyra Septim the First, was a complex figure. His love for Rigmor was all-consuming and celebrated in countless bardic stories, poems and songs. Their love was not the only influence that shaped the man who […]

THE WHEEL TURNS

When misrule takes its place at the eight corners of the world When the Brass Tower walks and Time is reshaped When the thrice-blessed fail and the Red Tower trembles When the Dragonborn Ruler loses his throne, and the White Tower falls When the Snow Tower lies sundered, kingless, bleeding The World-Eater wakes, and the […]

THE OATH

Morndas, 18th Last Seed, 4E 201 After breakfast and morning ablutions, we were ready to leave for Helgen. “I am glad to see you in a better mood this morning, Celestine.” “Yeah, sorry for yesterday. I was acting like a spoilt princess.” “Well, you are of noble blood.” “Not as noble as your blood, Wulf, […]

GUARDIAN

Morndas, 18th Last Seed, 4E 201 & Tirdas, 19th Last Seed, 4E 201 I sat and stared at Rigmor’s scars for several minutes. By pure luck, not design, I had spoken to Celestine in Akaviri, not Tamrielic. We call it Akaviri as people react with concern if we say it is Tsaesci. Rose would be […]

THE CONNECTION

Tirdas, 19th Last Seed, 4E 201 “Rigmor, um, I said we are in a hurry and let’s go and all that, but I forgot.” “Forgot what?” “Rose took the boat. And I teleported to Riverwood and back. So….” “We have no boat. How could you forget a boat?” “I was worried and upset.” “So, what […]

FORT BLACK

Turdas, 21st Last Seed, 4E 201 Yesterday, I let Rigmor sleep as long as her body wanted. She awoke just before midday and was distraught we would not go and rescue Rose until today. But in the end, Angi, Celestine, Meeko, and I convinced her she needed to recuperate more, especially if she and I […]

EMISSARY

Turdas, 21st Last Seed, 4E 201 & Fredas, 22nd Last Seed, 4E 201 I honed Ragnar’s sword and placed my usual dweomer on it. I did not spend time repairing the amulet because I wanted to get back to Angi’s as soon as I could. When I materialised at Angi’s, I summoned Bashita, who then […]

ANOTHER STEP

Loredas, 23rd Last Seed, 4E 201 & Sundas, 24th Last Seed, 4E 201 We enjoyed a good breakfast inside the Bee and Barb, but it was too noisy for conversation. When we exited, I asked Rigmor, “Do you want to talk before we head off?” “Yeah, but where?” “There is a seat where the horses […]

DRAGONSTONE

Tirdas, 26th Last Seed, 4E 201 & Middas, 27th Last Seed, 4E 201 We arrived in Whiterun just after 9:00 AM. The carriage ride had been uneventful except for detouring around pitched battles. The horse knew the route and the driver hardly ever had to attend to it except when reaching an intersection with other […]

ALDUIN’S SACRIFICE

Middas, 27th Last Seed, 4E 201 Breaking your fast with stew is not common except for those living away from civilisation. Stew is easy to make, can be added to endlessly, and is suitable, despite ignorant suggestions, for all meals. The ladies enjoyed my effort, which entailed throwing in the vegetables and salted meats that […]
