Irileth
Their legs made to move, a certain haste gripping them. But Bolgeir halted for a second, turning to Irileth. "Before we leave, there is a request I wish to ask of you, Housecarl."
Cassius, Mira, and Gotz halted, looking to Irileth. The Dunmer felt all manner of haste urging her to move but she would grant Bolgeir his request. "Aye?"
"I ask that you and your men stand aside and let Solitude handle it. This is principally a matter of Haafinga...

Irileth
The guardsmen stood quietly before the High King's door, their a single gauntleted hand wrapped around the spear they held. It served two purposes, one for them to show any potential intruder that the High King did not sleep idly and secondly, a supporting stick for them to lean on as it was in the middle of the night and they felt drowsy.
Suddenly, a light noise awoke the drowsy men. The sudden burst of energy that coursed through them made the ...

Elenwen
The embers of the fireplace cracked, as the wood broke apart in the flame.
Elenwen lounged on the chair before the fireplace, her legs crossed and a cup of good wine in her hand. It was a good vintage, made from a family vineyard deep inside Alinor. The taste was exquisite, the vapors intoxicating and filling her with happy memories of lazy lounging while music played. Indeed, such happy memories flowed in her that she had closed h...

Irileth
The sun had long since set over Whiterun. Dragonsreach itself had seen plenty of petitioners and the like. Irileth had long since moved on from being physically at Balgruuf's side. He had plenty of his own guards to keep him company as well as the Housecarls he had brought into his household. Now, her King had given her a task and that was to investigate on the zealots which had potentially started a problem that Skyrim did not need. A problem the Emp...

Baltafarian/Nords
I sat on my throne quietly, my fingers tapping on the arm rest of my chair. Before me, my councillors argued with one another.
"The terms of the White Gold Concordant are clear," came the voice of Father, an official looking paper in his hand. Aeschere had long since retired from Stewardship, citing his age. Father on the other hand, I had wanted to retire as well but he found retirement boring and wanted something to do. No bette...

Nords/Baltafarian
Erik was excited.
Who wouldn't be, not after being told that they were going to finally visit Whiterun with the harvest? It had taken some cajoling, some begging and pleading but finally, his old man relented and promised him and his sister that they could join the lads when it was delivery time for the city. That night, Erik could barely sleep. He remembered the last time he had entered the city and he could hardly forget it.

Imperial City
Cyrodiil. The beating artery of civilization. Tamrielic Civilization. And clearly, she had seen better days.
Such were the thoughts of Amaund Motierre as he crossed the dark alleyways of the capitol, a hooded robe covering his face. It had been five years, since the end of the war but the city still never fully recovered the life and luster it had before the Dominion took it. The worst was gone, but pockets of horror still remained. He took...

Hello guys. Sorry for the absence. I have been dreadfully sick for these past few weeks. Upper Respiratory Tract Infection has knocked me out bad.

I hope and beg for yalls patience until I recover.

I have been thinking heavily on the state of the fic and I express regret on how it has gone. It looked good initially. In hindsight, I had rushed it. I have been conflicted about it since it was passed and I will be rewriting the thing. I will be rewriting the fic, to better make the transition smoother.

I was brought to my knees.
My eyes were affixed firmly to the earth, grey and dark from rot. Strong hands held me down, stinking of undeath and unholy energies. While I as a Paladin was immune from disease, I was still Human and therefore with human senses. I smelt the lingering and noxious fumes of corpses now walking, the poisonous gas of abominations that stood in twisted and hulking frames. Above, gargoyles and other inhuman crea...

Irileth hitched her breath.
It was supposed to be a simple handing over of papers to Baglruuf. Helga couldn't be found and the overworked clerk clearly had places to be. Out of solidarity with the man, she volunteered to take the papers to Balgruuf herself. She needed it after all. She had been standing outside his office door for hours and even if she had the patience of a trained assassin, she still got bored sometimes. Giving over the papers was just the distraction she nee...

The results and are in and the Dragonborn shall be a: Male Nord, Neutral Good. Your parents were Legionnaires who taught you much about One-Handed Swordplay and Blocking. Despite your origins, you grew up focusing on being a Spellsword. In the middle of your studies, you've found yourself involved with a group. They were the Legion. For one reason or another, you left your group. You left because of Wanderlust.

Windhelm
Ulfric and his men marched out, Galmar was the vanguard who cut down those that dared come close to his Jarl. A pair of traitors rushed at him, their shields raised high and swords at the ready. Their courage was commendable but ultimately, foolish. Galmar grinned wickedly as he swung his battle axe at the nearest man with such force, it shattered the shield. The second guard was not idle, he thrust forward with his arming sword but Galmar was more ex...

Hello friends, I will be unavailable for updates as my mother is getting a surgery for her eyes, getting cataracts removed. I will be unable to update for a three days at least as I have to take care of her. To make it up for that, I will scramble in writing down a mega update for you all once I return.
Hugs and kisses to all of you <3

Windhelm
It wasn't the first time Galmar would find himself in a besieged. It was however his first getting trapped by his own people. He had no intentions to let this be the last however. Ulfric's pained cries brought him out of his stupor as he focused, walking through panicked guards and servants. Ulfric was seated against a wall, being tended to by a gaunt and sickly Nord clad in mages robes.
"How is he, Wuunferth?" Galmar asked Windhelm's resident c...

Windhelm
Outside the palace walls, a ring of iron and steel held firm against a crowd. Burly veterans impassively stared at a jeering crowd, archers on the walls, hands nervously twiddling with their yew bows. It was like a sea of faces, all united in one voice. Under a single voice.
"First, they call our sons to fight a war in far Cyrodiil, many of them did not return, dead in a foreign field. And what was our reward? What was the gift the Empi...

Windhelm
The air of Windhelm was crisp and cool. Staying in the City of Kings made one feel like they were breathing in ice. A byproduct of its location being on the Eastern End of Skyrim, the spot where the Sea of Ghosts would batter its strongest winds and roughest seas. On the bones of prisoners, Windhelm was built to be strong and mighty, thick drab grey stone serving as its foundation. The city was not meant to be pretty. It was made with only a few thing...

I am in the middle of deciding if I ought to put the Dragon War update in a new thread or continue it in a new one. It's quite honestly a whole new story by itself and if I put it up in a new thread, it could allow for new traffic to the fic which I would enjoy very much. Keeping it in the same thread though would mean its going to be a long and uninterrupted chain of updates in one place.
What do you guys think?

It is the 1st of Sun's Height, The Year of Akatosh, 181. The Third Era is nothing more but a distant memory, the glory and splendor of the Septim Dynasty nothing more but whispers told be greybears and scholars. Happenings in other Kingdoms is concerning but for me, High King Balgruuf, my attention is focused on one place.
Skyrim, the homeland of the Nords, sits in splendid quiet. It's cities grow strong from the policies which I had enacted ...

The Soldier
Life goes on for the ordinary soldier.
Harald awoke to the sound of the morning crow. Groggily, the Nord sat up his cot. Immediately, his mind flooded him with alarms to get dressed, get ready, and get moving. Such was the life for soldiers such as him, the many men and women that donned the brown and yellow of Whiterun. Still clad in his morning clothes, he would stand to his full height and march to a nearby table where a bowl filled with c...

Her eyes opened to a lock of blonde hair looking down at her and at the far wall, a brunette stood with her back against the wall and arms crossed.
"This feels awfully familiar," Balgruuf remarked.
Irileth closed her eyes again.
Balgruuf chuckled slightly. Cecilia leant forward. "How are you feeling?"
"Like an angry guar decided I was fit for sport and ran me over," Irileth sighed. Her nose felt weird, she couldn't feel her lips...

"It has been far too long since Whiterun was the first among equals," Balgruuf spoke, standing tall and proud, resplendent in his robes and cloak, before all of Dragonsreach, a goblet in his hand. The nobles of the city, far and wide, were assembled in their places of honor and in their finest clothes. Reds, and yellows, mahogany brown jackets or the brighter fur and cotton combination. Irileth was at her place, on the second floor rafters looking do...
