Okay I couldn’t help myself after seeing @myths-of-tamriel crop up the other day and thought to maybe indulge in answering the questions a little. So gonna be using both of my current beans for this!! (the answered questions are below the cut)

1. What’s their profession?

2. What is home to them?

3. What’s their fighting style?

4. What’s their morality?

Vivild

1. Does being the Dragonborn count as a profession? Or Hold helper? … Adventuring? Honestly he’s not really… thought about his profession if he was being honest. There’s nothing more that he’d like to do than settle down much less find a stable means of income. But as of yet, he’s single, unmarried and trying to find his footing, alongside going out and dealing with any current threats out there. A part of him may feel a touch guilty for living like this but the yearning of discovery overwhelms that.
2. Home… Home, feels like a foreign concept to him as of now, because no matter where he is he feels the tug of something feeling off or wrong. A lot of the time he’d blame the gnawing at the back of his mind that the places he visits now should feel familiar to him, but it was as if a wall was placed in the back of his mind, warding off whatever it could be that could help make him feel more settled. More comfortable, more…. Him. For now he’s more of a nomad than anything else. He doesn’t feel right anywhere.
3. Go big or go home baby!! He’s not one to pick fights if he can help it but, oh, if he has to he’s not fighting from a distance. There’s no magic involved, no range weapons, just his giant axe colliding with anything that comes within his range. On any battlefield he’s charging in headfirst, choosing to use brute strength above all else. A barbarian through and through.
4. He just wants to try his best and help others. Despite his barbarian tendencies, he’s a soft-hearted man at soul. He feels and he feels a lot. He’s good but leaning towards grey. He doesn’t pick fights unless it’s absolutely necessary and a lot of the times he tries his best to act fair and kind towards others. Other times however, the need to be a little petty rises up and takes precedence over everything else. There are many actions he’d take and regret later, often asking himself if there was any other way or what he could have done to change the aspect, but in the end what’s done is done; all he can do is try to do things better next time.

Vermith

1. Outside of her criminal life as a thieves guild member and part-time among the Dark Brotherhood, she’s taken up fishing. And it’s slowly become something less of a hobby and more something she does for a living as well. It’s relaxing and quiet, and she’s even considered trying to teach her daughter how to do so as well.
2. Home is a state of being for Vermith, rather than any precise location. It’s less of a place to her and more wherever she feels most comfortable to exist in. It’s where she’s surrounded by like-minded people and those she feels safe enough to be vulnerable and rest her head around, without the need to hold onto her precious belongings.
3. Vermith is the same as her brother, but has slowly begun to step away from the bloodlust he still seems to keep. She likes to keep her distance and strike from the shadows instead. Pick fights only if she’s sure she can win them, rather than charging recklessly into any battle.
4. In a world where it’s survival of the fittest, Vermith doesn’t plan on being seen as weak. Morality be damned, she plans on making it no matter what means she’ll have to utilise. While there are lines she wouldn’t cross, believing violence without reason is cowardice, she doesn’t regret a lot when it comes to her actions and choices. She joined the guild and the brotherhood, and remains rather loyal to both factions, even if she favours the Thieves Guild over the assassins. However, if a job needs to be done, she’s not going to feel any much remorse accomplishing it.

I love coming up with random reasons why they killed Lorkhan - like yeah this that whatever
However
Have you considered
He kept shitposting in the family group chat and they had enough so they just executed him the same day

Do you think if I applied for an entry level Seeker position there’d be any chance of Hermaeus Mora actually reading my resume or would I just be automatically disqualified on account of my mortal nature?

I’m get genuinely scared in most video game dungeons and avoid them at all costs but yelling “suck your nan” at skeletons in Morrowind helps overcome this fear somehow

Dela, you’ve GOT to stop making random characters just because you can………..

Skyrim Spells - Fury

As Gravia Lambe, Chapter 3:
Interim.

Chapter length: 15,369 words
Content warnings: None.
Mind the tags.

Teaser:
Saya stared out into the sea from an empty deck. Waves crashed against the ship, little ghosts splattering seafoam shapes across the hull while the horizon danced in the distance, bobbing back and forth in meaningless rhythm. Nighttime. She breathed in, and the frigid air prickled the inside of her nose. She breathed out - the back of her throat tickled with the aftertaste of cold salt, tracelessly melting into her like snowflakes into the waves. There was something nostalgic about that smell. She couldn’t put a name on it if she tried.

tbh i jst love ppl who r good w kids like if you’re not good w kids you can get right out my face🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Citizen Scholarship in a Modern Empire - by Imperial Citizen Mayoshi Fleetwind. 4E 204

My first thought upon reading “Alduin is Real” is to make fun of the author, Thromgar Iron-Head, but to do so would be to discred a lifetime of learning and cultural immersion because this man lacks literacy skills.

Which has guided me shamefully to the conclusion that people who don’t know how to spell words are NOT somehow stupid or less valid than others. This man would likely be an acceptable primary source, or interviewee, for a more established author from the imperial city. Sure he’s not a scholar in Nord history, but he is a Nord, and the evolution of traditions into the present day is as important as the past that lead to it. Why, then, should his account be dismissed because his grammar is atrocious?

Thromgar Iron-Head says himself that he “ent never rote a book before” (sic). Alduin is Real may be the work of an amateur, but let us not forget the meaning of amateur- Someone who does what they do out of love.

I think that if a scholar had read Thromgar’s manuscript before it reached publication, it would have been thrown out. Not by Thromgar’s fault, no, by the shameful state of modern Imperial academia. It’s an ivory tower where only the old and dying get the privilege of making observations and the men and women in the streets will never be heard except by their peers. Sometimes a scholar will deign to grace the uneducated masses with their presence, gather some choice insights, and leave to synthesize their folio for publication after being reviewed by other scholars. Why? If the common man wanted to write a book, they would just go through the academic system!

I believe Thromgar is an exception and a shining example of citizen scholarship. The presses shouldn’t be limited to scholars, playwrights, and fiction authors. Everyone deserves to be heard, whether or not they had the privilege of life in academia or a Mages Guild in their home town. Many advocates have already made the point that literature shouldn’t be limited to the scholarly; why should writing?

Thromgar inspired me to learn about the publication process myself. I believe that we should all follow Thromgar’s example and write about the things we really care about.

Be more like Thromgar. Write your book.

Farah Abd HoonDing

Finally, after what feels like 500 years, I’ve drawn a fullbody and armour design for my Nerevarine Farah!

I’ve drawn a portrait of them once before but this is indeed the first time drawing Farah in full. I also have been developing their lore and story more, which you can find on their Toyhouse page.

I definitely picked the “What’s wrong with you?” dialogue option. Laughed so hard when I saw it because it’s just so blunt and direct. Very in character for my Nord, but still very funny and a bit unexpected.

Found him!

maybe it’s bc of time and budgetary constraints but it blows my absolute mind that eso saw the MENA inspired hammerfell and thought “hmm what kinda horse breed can be found here? yes, just a totally generic deaft-looking horse” meanwhile arabian horses literally exist

Heartbroken to learn that Camelworks has passed away. I’ve watched his channel(s) for years. The Curious Curiosities videos were huge for getting myself and my child to sleep when they were first born and through the toddler years. If I wanted to know where to look for certain items or characters in Skyrim, I knew I could go to Camelworks or Fudge Muppet…

May you rest well, and drink deep the mead in Sovengarde!

My oc and Lucien Lachance

Hey, @eye-who-sees-all, I finally got the notes you requested.

Cultivation in the desert.

Sand is able to provide better drainage, more access to oxygen, and less resistance for the roots to grow. Furthermore it illuminates the possibility of weeds and prevents fungus or bacteria from affecting the plant unless caused by extreme conditions such as high humidity or injury. The sand is also able to hold heat much better, extending the length of time crops can be grown.

With this comes the drawbacks of poor water retention and a lack of nutrients. The plants in the Alik'r Desert and Northern Elsweyr are drought tolerant. This means that they have deep roots to find water underground and sometimes a waxy coating on their leaves to protect from the sun. Some of them, like cacti, are able to store water until the next rain comes.

Agriculture is mainly possible in oaseses, and places with underground aquifers. Citrus fruits, most vegetables, and forage crops are able to grow in these areas with little issue outside of water scarcity.

Between all these factors, food can be grown with relative reliability. Except for Hew’s Bane. Nothing’s different, I just don’t like them.
