747: Serana's Secret
A/n: You guys know this type of cat that runs away for a while and then returns home with a few kittens on her tail. Welp, think of me the same way.
Earlier in January, I became a proud father of Aisha (little Donna as you shall refer to her by now), who completely graced this mortal realm with her presence on a winter day just like her father.
And since I finally started sleeping properly in the past month, I got my Masters and worke...

746: All-Maker
Things took an interesting turn on Solstheim. While distrust and fear were fairly dominant among the involved parties, the end of Miraak's control over the minds of the innocent sparked a widespread purge of anything that may relate to Hermaeus Mora and the Old Cult of Miraak. This happened both in Raven Rock and the Skaal's villages.
The Nords and the Dunmer of the two sides were fairly some of the most headstrong xenophobes on Tamriel but years ...

Hey, it's Don here.
Thank you for hanging in there while no updates being published for almost a month now.
I was lucky enough to get my Masters Degree just a couple of days ago and it drained me so much I wasn't even willing to sit back in my workspace for a while. After healing for the past couple of days, I'm happy to be able to get back to work.
Life at the age of 28 is busy as hell, no one warned me. I even had to go look for a Job now and it is so hamulating going from...

744: Get REKT!
The fight began with a rapid exchange of spells and sword strikes. Miraak wasn't only a master of every known fighting style but also a caster of spells that weren't heard of or seen before. If not for Pride's knowledge of all Magic Spells ever cast, Jon would have had a hard time defending against that barrage of magic spells alone.
The two men moved in circles as they exchanged their fast attacks and tried to sneak in powerful ones every once in...

743: Jon Dare vs. Miraak
Dominating a Dragon, now that was something that never sat well with Jon. Still, in order to get to where Miraak is, it is better to conserve strength and get this Dragon dominated.
Sahrotaar, Servant of the Phantom Word, a Dragon that has always served Miraak for eons and can be considered to be his most reliable lieutenant, that's the kind of dragon Jon just captured.
As a Serpentine Dragon, Sahrotaar has a unique shape, almost t...

Pillars of smoke rose from various parts of the Iron Alley, but the arsonist was far from his crime scenes and closing in on a wide and low building made fully of gray slabs of stone.
The Smelter House.
This building wasn't only the most important building in the Iron Alley, but the most ancient one at that. According to the stories, this building goes back a few hundred years to the time of a great Smithing clan that made a d...

Miraak managed to pull one on Jon, but thanks to the creation of the Failsafe, Jon kept his mind from being pried open.
There is one thing Jon trusts the most, and that is his effort. He knows that even without his full knowledge, those skills he honed will never betray him, and he will be just as deadly without his knowledge as he is now… Well, maybe not as deadly, but he'll still be very lethal.

Hey Guys, it is Don here...
So as a way to break out of my boring routine this past month, I've been working on this project that interests me greatly and as it took most of my time and since it is your patronage, I've had the intention to share with you for both enjoyment and feedback. This is my custom made Tabletop Role Playing Game Engine inspired by Dungeons & Dragons the 5th Edition and Divinity Original Sin 2.

As the night passed and the morning's sun lit the sky, Leon was back in the empty training yard, working hard all by himself. Only his butler, Maximilien, was present in this place with a few towels and a fresh white shirt.
The young butler had two black rings around his eyes. Usually, people around the palace would go to sleep at 10pm and wake up at 6 a.m. Not Leon, though.
He would go to sleep at 12 p.m. and wake up at 4 a.m., and o...

Deep in their minds, Failsafe and Neloth have the wildest experiences a man can think of. In order to shape their reality, they slept just like the Son of Mora and entered his dream. From there, they started forging their own realities and carving many small worlds of imagination.
Neloth was not that interested at first, but he created an Ashland with a forest of giant mushrooms and then switched it into the old woodland of southern Morrowind. H...

The first reaction the people of the house heard after hearing the loud noise upstairs was to rush in waves, expecting something dangerous.
Especially for the young servants who saw Leon lying on the ground with a bloody nose, many of whom surrounded him to take him away and clear any danger around him.
Just before they think of invading his room, a suit of armor walks from its position on a nearby stand and blocks their path.

Annabelle taught Leon two magic spells that opened his mind to limitless possibilities. Not just that, it could be said that Leon's passion for magic transformed into something new.

As for the Magical arts, such as the Arcane Arts, things got very interesting very quickly. Leon starte...

Nonetheless, Leon's day was split into two routin...

While the drama of the ducal house was the least interesting thing to the citizens of Stormdale, it was no secret that the Duchess had isolated herself in her palace a few years ago when her youngest was taken from her. And now that he returned, people were mildly curious about what would happen.
