You don't know what you've got till it's gone...

Ah, but wait a minute. If you haven't done the quest and got the poor fellow killed, then Aldos Lothran in Cheydinhal can sing you the epic Cliff Racer Song. Can't stop the music...

Unfortunately he´s long gone too...


And his name is Aldos Othran, not Lothran!

Oops, sorry Mirocu. [But - mebbe he's a distant rel, L's family spent some time in High Rock way back, the locals called his dad/mum L'Othran and the name stuck? ]

So, running Severan through the Tutorial the other day, ran across yet another chest that I've been missing for years. In the sewer part, in the room with the two goblins in.

How have I been missing these?

*Facepalms hard enough to shake Yggdrasil*

That really is something, eh? Because I know you've done the Tutorial many many times.

Whoa, I just saw the walls of Bruma while Kahreem was standing on the Imperial City's Waterfront. I mean.... we're talkin' nearly 8 years of gaming here, and I've never noticed this.

There was something else new to me, but now I'm forgetting what it was. OH I know. There's a paint horse which stands on the Waterfront, in front of the door to the Temple District. It's there 24/7, unless one of mine decides to go for a joyride. Well, I just noticed this horse is finally gone. Maybe Heironymus rides him to Anvil after Taking Care of Lex is done.

I've seen that paint horse, and also seen it standing beside that lady's house who you frame for stealing the bust of Llathasa a few times.

I still remember when I found this paint horse for the 1st time and a dead conjurer lying next to it, I assumed that this horse belonged to the conjurer. Then I mounted it, thinking it was free and so I earned my first bounty in Oblivion.

It took me about 6 years to spot Bruma from Waterfront as well.

However, It took me almost 9 years to find the cave populated with Argonian Tribesmen. I heard and read about this cave many times but I didn't know its name or the location. I refused to spoil myself on the UESP but yesterday I finally found this "fab" cave. At first it seemed completely ordinary but when Vion and his friend Alix were attacked by a pair of Argonians wearing nothing but loincloth, I knew I finally found the place.

I shall explore it today.

P.S.
In case anyone still hasn't find it, I didn't mention its name or the location.

Oh no kidding, there's a cave full of Argonians, and is this vanilla? That's so fab. I wonder if one of mine found this in the past. Chances are this could have happened, and maybe I didn't notice at the time.



This makes sense, because this horse occasionally vanishes in some of my games. Somebody must ride it from A to B.

Speaking of new things (in general), there's probably still lots of caves and forts I've never been to. And I can still get lost in Cyrodiil (I play without compass) very easily while I almost never got lost in Morrowind or Skyrim.

I know there's some village between Bruma and the Imperial City, north of Aleswell which I haven't came upon yet. I think it's involved in some Daedric quest.

And I know there's a cave called Unmarked Cave somewhere. But where? I don't know. That's why playing Oblivion is all the more interesting.

About that Paint Horse, I had noticed him too, and wondered about him. Then I saw her riding him, looked it up on the UESP Wiki, and learned that the Paint Horse actually has owners. Not the kind of owners you'd want to steal a horse from!

That Tribal cave has an underwater opening in the Niben as well; if you like to sneak in the back way and surprise the enemies, lol.






I won't tell you where and spoil your exploration!








BWAAHAA! I guess not! But it might explain why it was beside that particular house on the waterfront, because that barrel near where it was standing is a Skooma drop, for anyone who likes stealing Skooma stashes, lol.

Cripes, that horse is owned by a drug runner? ...

Lopov: Yes this town between Bruma and the Imperial City does indeed exist. It's well-hidden. I found it only because one of mine noticed something .... a very slight path going through some woods or something like this. And she followed it until she found the hidden town. It's a nice place, actually.

I guess that playing without any map markers for years is another reason why I never found some well-known places. Even if I do some random exploring, there are still chances of missing some location for only a few meters. It took me several years to find the Shrine of Hermaeus Mora, for instance. And I still don't know exactly where is Mephala's shrine.

That's the thing; this village probably won't show up on the game's vanilla compass, it's rather deep into some wilderness.

.... and that is all I shall say to reaction. You'll have to figure the rest yourself, which is more immersssssssiiiivvveee, of course.

By turning camera around I found a symbol on the back of thrones in the King and Queen Tavern, and this symbol is the same as the Cheydinhal emblem. Now I wonder if all thrones have the Cheydinhal emblem on the back.

I think all of the thrones do have a symbol on the back; but don't know if the symbol differs by city (though I only actually remember finding two thrones in the CS, and one was Daedric-type with that symbol).

Cool, but I know for a fact that the Bruma thrones have the Bruma emblem

Then I can only assume that thrones for the Imperial City's inns were made in Cheydinhal.

Maybe it´s an inn thing? That could be a fun little quest; to check every inn that has thrones for the Cheydinhal emblem!


Though I reckon there aren´t too many inns that have thrones...
