Tirdas, 25th of Last Seed, 4E 201 – Day 9

Well today I plan on getting one or two items for my house and then head out of town to do some hunting.

Spoke to Ysolda who asked for a mammoth tusk to help her buy the Bannered Inn. I thought I had one in my chest back at Breezehome so I went and had a look, if I didn’t I could always get one when I was out hunting. I knew there were three mammoths near a pair of the giants.

As it so happens I did have one so I gave it to Ysolda. She helped me learn about speech craft which was good. Read more of this post

Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.

A different perspective of our fair planet

I have just seen the most beautiful images of earth from the ISS and I wanted to share with everyone.  I’m not sure why but this video gives me great hope for the potential of the human race.  If we can build these great machines that go into space that produce images of our beautiful world then why can’t we use this technological might to do more for our planet and the billions that live on it.

Quote of the Day – Week 1, Day 7

“It was the task of the faithful to fit themselves into God’s plans and not demand that God follow the designs of humans.”

Chapterhouse: Dune (Frank Herbert)

Sundas, 23rd of Last Seed, 4E 201 – Day 7

It’s a new day so hopefully a new start.  I think I’ll take it easy today, read, visit shops, might do some wood cutting for the inn’s owner and of course give the tablet to the Jarl’s Mage.

Just my luck, the first thing I do is to go visit the Jarl’s Mage, and mid-way through our conversation the dragon attacks and I’m sent off with the guards to defeat it… So much for a quiet day.

Damn, damn, damn and double damn I just killed a dragon.  I just killed a creature out of legend itself and now I can shout using some kind of super voice which apparently means I’m a Dragonborn.  I know a little about it from my books but still have no real idea what this means.

As I entered Whiterun, a courier reached me and gave me a letter from someone who claims to be a friend, the letter tells me I should go to Mount Anthor as it holds a source of power that can only be unlocked by a Dragonborn.  Now I just need to find this place.

Well I needed time to think things through so I went for a drink in the Bannered Mare and ended up speaking to Uthgerd the Unbroken and she challenged me to brawl duel which I of course accepted – I can’t be seen backing down from a fight. I of course won and she agreed to follow me which will come in handy when I next venture abroad.

It wasn’t late but I decided that I would stay the night, do some reading and get freshened up for my visit to Dragonsreach in the morning. Before sleep however, I was able to finish books 3 & 4 of The Brief History of the Empire, which was interesting to hear the short stories of the emperors and how they lived and died.
