SKyrim Entry #9

Suns Height 14th,


I've been searching for many days now, for words of power. So far I have learned many from my friends the Greybeards. Most Word walls were easy enough to find. Some others however, were guarded by beings that are neither dead or living. We call them dragur. Nords from the days of old, I do not know why they have not  passed into the afterlife.

16th,

The dragons have grown ever more a hindrance to me and fellow travelers of Skyrim. Both the Stormcloaks and Empire have agreed that they (themselves) are not the reasons for dragons appearing back into the world. I must now get ready to depart to Ustengrav, it is my final test from the Greybeards. I must retrieve the horn of Jurgen Windcaller. I will then gain the full power of the Unrelenting Force shout.

19th,

I found the horn but it was not where it should have been. I found the burial where it was buried but, once I found the main chamber all I found was a note that told me to return to Riverwood and rent the attic room at the inn. They don't have an attic room. Who there has the horn?


21th
It was the innkeeper! She took the horn in order to meet with the Dragonborn. She told me that the empire and rebels have nothing to do with the dragons returning. Delphine (the innkeeper) says that it might be the Thalmor or High Elves from the Dominion. I doubt that. None of their wizards are able to control dragons, not after what I have seen them do. She also mentioned that dragons are not just returning, They are returning from the dead. Not undead just coming back to life. She knows the next one that may come back soon we are off to find out if she's right.

22nd
It is as we all feared. The dragon that I saw at Helgen resurrected the dragon we found. I must return to the horn to the Greybeards and ask who this black dragon is. Then back to Riverwood to meet with Delphine. She says we have to find out if the Thalmor are behind this, or if they know anything about it.

Skyrim entry #8

7th of Rains Hand fourth age

After a few cave diving trips while I waited for this storm to pass. I finally reached the top of High Hrothgar. I had expected at least twenty monks ten at the very least. There were only four monks. I guess they are rather picky about who is to join their ranks. As dragonborn, I was able to join them right away. I must continue my training for at least ten days as is tradition. I must take my leave now As I am on my way to find a word of powers location was sent to me by a mysterious person who calls himself/herself my friend.

Skyrim Entry #7

4th of Rains Hand 4th age

I was hoping to get to High Hrothgar today but, a storm is near and I won't be able to reach it in time. As we were waiting for our guide. I went out to look around town and, I found this old burial site. The locals told to stay away because it's haunted! It is home to a very powerful wizard who has yet to pass into the void. he also, according to legend cursed his son for their terrible crimes against the land and her people. After hearing that I decided to stay away for a while but! I'll be back later. Now all that I am doing is waiting for this storm to pass and begin the seven thousand step trek up to the Grey Beards.

Skyrim entry 6

2nd of Rain's hand 4th age

The thundering voices I heard three day ago came from this group of monks on top of the mountain called the Throat of the World. It is home to the greybeards masters of the Way of the Voice. apparently I have been summoned. At least that what the Jarl told me. Oh, and I almost forgot I have been name thane of Whiterun! It is like becoming a baron in the Imperial city. I have been told that I must first make my way to Ivarstead, which is about a days journey from Whiterun, the little town is located at the foot of the mountain. It is said that in order to get to the greybeards I have to climb up at least 7,000 steps to get to their home. I believe it's called High Hrothgar. I also have been given a Housecarl. Her name is Lydia. She is one of the most stunning woman I have seen so far in Skyrim. She acts like a body guard and, she is sworn to give her life for me and carry just a few extra supplies that we would need for our journeys we may have. I do not like the whole "give my life to save you" bit. I do not want anyone "dying for me. Well hopefully it won't come to that. I must now find some armor before we head out for High Hrothgar.

Skyrim Entry #5

30th of Firstseed 4th age

In the six days that have passed since I last wrote, I have slayed a dragon. Of course I did have some help from the city guards. After we had slain the beast I went to investigate the body, then, all of a sudden. The body of the dragon began to burn! Then a sort while after that I felt the dragons soul enter me! I then understood what I was feeling. I felt the knowledge of the beast's life experiences of his past! When I entered the chamber in Bleak Falls Barrow when I had retrieve the dragon stone. I heard a single word in my head "Fus." Then when I absorbed the dragons souls I knew the "fus" meant "push" in our tongue. It turns out I am dragonborn, whatever that means. I don't really care for the adventuring thing anymore. I would just stay at home but as I was on my way back from the tower where the dragon attacked I heard these thundering voices that were coming from the mountains. What did I get myself into this time?

Skyrim Entry #4

24th of Firstseed 4th age.

It has been a very busy time for me. First, I had to run to Whiterun and ask for help for Riverwood then, had to help the Jarls court wizard find and retrieve this piece of dragon stone from the ancient times of old. Once I found the chamber were it was to be located, I ran into an undead creature. As I was fighting it, it was beginning to use a type of magical force which was pretty close to shouting. Then I saw a wall with some strange writings on it, I seem to think it to be another form of language but I cannot be sure. I found the stone and golden claw, which I returned to the Riverwood traders, then made my way back to Whiterun. I found Farengar (the court wizard) and gave him the stone, all I got was a pat on the head. Oh well, all that work for nothing, zombies, giant spider and more zombies. Then the Jarls bodyguard came running into the room yelling "a dragon, a dragon" so I must be off and see if I can assist in any way!

Skyrim Entry #3

15th of Firstseed 4th age

It have been ten days since Helgen. I have been very busy in riverwood trying to mount what little defenses we can. To make matters worse some bandits robbed the Riverwood Traders and stole the golden claw, whatever that is for I'm not to sure. It was finally decided that we go to the Jarl Whiterun for help we so desperately needed. I volunteered to go. The city was under heavy security and I had a hard time trying to persuade the guards to let me enter. I met with the Jarl and he had his head of security send troops to Riverwood. He rewarded me with his personal weapon from the city's barracks. He then assigned me to help his court wizard on the "dragon problem". Now I have to go cave diving and find some bloody rock with carving on it. Lovely.

Skyrim Entry #2

Tirdas 5th of Firstseed, 4th age, Riverwood providence of Skyrim.

Me and the stromcloaks were caught by the Imperial Legion near Falkreath, the southern most city in Skyrim. We were taken then to Helgen to be executed. One of the stormcloaks was at the block. Then as I was to be executed this great black beast appeared out of nowhere and destroyed the town. not many escaped. We in Riverwood are still waiting for survivors but, I fear there is non.

Skyrim Entry #1

Sundas 1st, First Seed 4th age. Boarder of Skyrim from Cyriodiil.

I am on my back home to Whiterun from the Imperial city. It has been 15 years since I last saw my family. I was a solider in the war against the Thalmor. I would curse all elves for what they and their kind have done, but I have a distant cousin who is a High elf. All I can do really is pity them and us Imperials, for bending at the knee to these milk drinker elves.

Morndas 2nd, First Seed 4th age. Edge of the boarder of Skyrim.

I came across a rather large caravan. I paid them no mind at first and thought I could pass them by and not be noticed. Of course I was wrong and I was immediately spotted by the guards of this group and was captured. They started to call me a spy. I told them that I was on my way back to my home to Whiterun in Skyrim. At first I wasn't to sure that they would believe me. Then their leader came to where they were holding me, He was a rather tall man. shaggy blonde hair, long grey cloak, a Nord no less. Now me living in a Nordish country I wasn't at all shocked but, then I learned who he was. Ulfric Stormcloak. The leader of the rebellion against the empire, a wanted man wrongly accused of murdering our high king all rumors I think. I later learned that this group called themselves the "Stormcloaks" and that they were on their way to raid an Imperial caravan.
