Acadian, Lil will bake herself brown from toe to eartip if she feels safe! I think it’s her need for shadows that makes her love the sun so much. Her childhood home was deep tree shade and broad, sunny river. She remembers climbing up onto logs as a little elfling and basking like a turtle.

Jerric has caught some strange fish in Coldharbour. Some he has eaten (slaughterfish and trodh, which are the same as the ones he catches in foul water areas in Tamriel) and others are trophies and can’t be filleted. Those are things like blue slimefish, plasm darter, venomfish, and the heinous gar. He once saw a skeleton fishing in Coldharbour. When he went over to ask what the skeleton was catching, he or she tried to kill him. Then he had to find out what was under there for himself.

mALX, Drillk’s quests are in Zuuk in Shadowfen. The Clavicus Vile shrine is I think in Stillrise Village in Shadowfen, related to Drillk’s quests. The pets are completely safe from any damage, but Jerric didn’t take Ulfe to Coldharbour with him until he had finished his business with Molag Bal. He bought the dog with Crowns and the horse with game gold. Ulfe will have to be a golden retriever until they make an Irish wolfhound or an otterhound. Yes, the mounts do scale themselves to the player character. That’s why Lil does not ride a horse – she looks like she’s on a skinny little pony. Thank you for your kind words about Lildereth and Aninah! I agree, ESO elves are lovely, especially the wood elves.

hazmick, those skulls look really neat. Thank you for showing the Dark Brotherhood stuff, I think the closest I will come for a while is when Jerric fell down into a big crack in the ground onto about twenty players who were entering some DB location. He says the sun was in his eyes. Woo, Naryu!! Meeting her again might be worth murdering for. Is that abandoned village a new location just for the Dark Brotherhood quest, or do you think anyone with the DLC can find it? I love that last picture under the big tree!

Just a few from our Gold Coast Nord:

I am not sold on Wood Elves being the hottest. The Altmer are mighty fine looking in this game (what a change from Skyrim!). Look at Aninah (please! ) I hope Bethesda is watching and taking notes for their next TES game.

While Haa-Rei's having a little break, I've decided to join a new friend on her adventures.

Introducing Cirinwe. She's an Altmer sorcerer in the Aldmeri Dominion, focusing on restoration magic. Haa-Rei isn't entirely absent of course, Ciri has him making robes for her.

Here's a close-up, and here she is with Andraste. It was after she had to wear that torso-free Bosmer robe that Ciri decided to employ Haa-Rei as her tailor. Proper torso coverage is essential to happy magecraft.

Continuing Cirinwe's journey:

Déjà vu.

This is one of those situations when Ciri really wishes Haa-Rei was here.

Edge of the world.

Uh, do you have the Five Companions here or come alone? Is this part of the DB DLC? And speaking of which; I watched a vid the other day on taking down Molag Bal - er, what is the deal with all the five companions hanging behind while you do all the fighting? I mean, huh?

Well the companions are just regular mortals, who'd be squashed instantly by Molag, whereas the player is a soulless champion of the divines.

The Aldmeri Dominion Harborage is lovely. Haa-Rei is very jealous, since the Pact Harborage is in a Daedric ruin.

Everybody's favourite half-giantess. It's not often that Ciri meets someone so significantly taller than herself.

Ahhh, that's better.
