Skyrim Day 099 – A Game of Khajiit & Dragon

On October 4, 2019October 5, 2019 By IndieRetroNews

29 Sun’s Dusk, 4E201Imperial Camp~~~My orders have me once again walking all of Skyrim. I cannot see a reason why the Legion could not simply courier my orders to Whiterun where I would at least be a fairly equal distance from everything else. Instead I walk all the walk to […]

Skyrim Day 097 – Another Worthless Promotion

On September 9, 2019September 10, 2019 By IndieRetroNews

28 Sun’s Dusk, 4E201Solitude~~~My rest at the quarters of Fort Greenwall’s missing captain was the first decent sleep I have had in three days. Nonetheless, the exertions of the previous day were not enough to cause me to sleep in and I woke before sunrise. Some of the Legionnaires were […]

Skyrim Day 095 – Regaining the Rift

On September 3, 2019September 3, 2019 By IndieRetroNews

27 Sun’s Dusk, 4E201Solitude~~~ After having been given the toothless title of ‘Praefect’ in the Imperial Legion I was told to walk nearly the length of Skyrim to an Imperial camp south of Ivarstead from Solitude. There was no possible way for me to walk from Solitude to Ivarstead in […]

Skyrim Day 094 – The Long Report

On March 27, 2019March 28, 2019 By IndieRetroNews

25 Sun’s Dusk, 4E201 Solitude ~~~ The rest in the former Stormcloak’s quarters was a brief one. When I woke the Imperial soldiers were still busy removing the corpses of the fort’s former owners and preparing their own for burial. I spoke briefly with the Imperial Captain, he had sent […]

Skyrim Day 093 – Taking Fort Dunstad

On January 19, 2019January 19, 2019 By Raifield

25 Sun’s Dusk, 4E201 Solitude ~~~ I knew the Imperial Legion’s garrison for the Pale lay directly west of Dawnstar, having stumbled upon it earlier, which meant I was either in for a very long walk along the roads or a long walk across the swamp of Morthal and the […]

Skyrim Day 092 – The Battle for Whiterun

On December 27, 2018December 27, 2018 By Raifield

23 Sun’s Dusk, 4E201Whiterun~~~I had allowed myself a rare moment of tardiness in convincing myself that my arrival at Whiterun last night was too late to call upon the Jarl. I knew my news of Ulfric’s reply to Balgruuf would gain me entrance at any time of the night, but […]

Skyrim Day 088 – Re-Enlisting

On September 28, 2018September 29, 2018 By Raifield

19 Sun’s Dusk, 4E201 Solitude ~~~ I discovered this morning that I had indeed forgotten something: to take a curative or two after the battle at Volkihar Keep. I was already starting to show signs of the disease this morning, the symptoms having started quite early, or so I thought.Angeline’s Aromatics […]

Skyrim Day 087 – Family Disunion

On September 3, 2018September 5, 2018 By Raifield

Unknown Date, 4E201 Sleeping in the former castle of the Volkihar family was easier than I had anticipated. Once I found an actual bedroom I pushed several bookcases behind the door and fell upon the bed, falling asleep almost instantly. No one attacked me in my sleep, though I did […]

Skyrim Day 083 – A Long, Boring Walk

On April 18, 2018September 5, 2018 By Raifield

12 Sun’s Dusk, 4E201 Winterhold Spending a night at my Solitude estate is a rare blessing, even if it is much too large for one person, or even two, as the case was yesterday. I woke with Serana patiently waiting in my bedroom, which was a bit disconcerting. She must […]

Skyrim Day 082 – The Curse of Immortality

On March 28, 2018September 5, 2018 By Raifield

11 Sun’s Dusk, 4E201 Serana and I left Falkreath later than we had planned, leaving what passes for a gatehouse after the townspeople had started their day. Fortunately for Serana the weather was overcast and we made good time to the fields of Whiterun, at which point the clouds abruptly […]

Skyrim Day 079 – A Timeless Prison of Souls (Part 2)

On December 30, 2017September 5, 2018 By Raifield

7 Sun’s Dusk, 4E201 Winterhold Relaxed all day and did nothing of note…two things which I cannot recall the previous utterance of, at least together. Hidden behind the fireplace was a large laboratory with a raised section against one side overlooking a terraced circular depression in the floor. Candles had […]

Skyrim Day 079 – A Timeless Prison of Souls (Part 1)

On November 21, 2017September 5, 2018 By Raifield

6 Sun’s Dusk, 4E201 Winterhold Serana and I left Winterhold’s inn early enough, I hoped, to reach Solitude by mid-afternoon. Early though it was we exited the Inn to the sounds of running feet and Nordic swearing. Another vampire attack, this one with the benefit of the giant undead hounds […]

Skyrim Day 072 – Assassins, Above and Below

On June 16, 2017September 5, 2018 By Raifield

28 Frostfall, 4E201 Serana made the decision this morning to head directly for Dragon Bridge by the nature of her constant, unending complaining. When we got rooms at the Inn last night there was a complaint that the bed was uncomfortable and itchy, when we woke (if she even slept) […]

Skyrim Day 068 – A Collection of Crazy

On May 10, 2017September 5, 2018 By Raifield

23 Frostfall, 4E201 This morning was a rare one for me: I had nothing pressing to attend to. I woke early, alone in my massive house and had a leisurely breakfast while contemplating my next move. I had Isran’s Dawnguard to visit again, news to deliver to Winterhold College, and […]

Skyrim Day 067 – From the Skies, Death

On April 28, 2017September 5, 2018 By Raifield

22 Frostfall, 4E201 Sorine Jurard was the remaining individual that Isran had asked me to find. A Breton, she was known to him as an inventor of some kind, he described her as being endlessly fascinated with mechanical things and was usually camping at one Dwemer ruin or another. The […]
