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.

It’s a new day and I was determined to warn the local Jarl about the dragon threat to Riverwood. I spoke to the Jarl and he rewarded me for delivering the story of Helgen and charged me to find a tablet in Bleak Falls Barrow for his mage Farengar.

I decided to look round the Jarl’s house before leaving and I did some practice on his locked cabinets. I didn’t take much, just an Elven sword and a necklace, I do normally try to be good. Although I did find an unusual gem which I decided to get appraised.  So I’m not all good, but I only take from those who can afford to miss what I take, I do fight and defend those who need my sword. So after doing an errand or two I realised how late it was, so decided to get some sleep and head out first thing in the morning

Middas, 19th of Last Seed, 4E 201 – Day 3

Well it’s a new day, so I have decided to get up early and head towards Whiterun.  On my way out of town I saw Faendal who thanked me for helping him with Camilla.

The road to Whiterun can be dangerous, its a lucky thing I’m good with my swords, pesky wolves kept attacking me. I did find a number of ingredients for potion making which I thought might come in handy to either sell or mix up something. I must remember to keep an eye out for the more exotic samples.

My first glimps of Whiterun impressed me. It was larger than I was expecting and much higher.  It gave me hope of finding work and fellowship there. Read more of this post
