Can't find an original post for this so here's a new one!!!!... ...

So, for those who're still in or coming back to Cyrodiil...(Or even Tamrielic lands that simply aren't Skyrim )...Where are your characters today?...

Brought Nordy-Boy (Farn Olfsson) out of his comfortable semi-retirement, grabbed his trusty steed - Binky - and went for a run in an empty section of his map...This being around Bravil...

He cleared out a Necromancer infested Ayelid ruin called Wendlebeck and found a statue in the middle of it, so I may do the Collector quest as I've never done that one...

And then we went through a Goblin fort just down the way from it...Much fun with Goblins!!... ...Can't remember what the place was called...

Next time, I shall have Nordy-Boy sell the stuff in Imp-City and then I shall go find the cave that showed up on the compass around the fort...

I have missed this game so much...It's way better than Skyrim...And yes, thanks to mALX and Subrosa I'm actually tempted to get the PC version...And *Feels slightly dirty* I may download some Mods...*Runs off to shower*...

Ach...

On the subject of Nirnroots, I just realized I hardly ever hear them as I'm gaming on PC. Their sound is a lot louder on consoles; and this was confirmed in a thread I recently found in the old Beth forums.

My theory: since most console players are sitting across the room in front a their TV, they need to be able to hear when a Nirnroot is near so they know one is near. PC gamers on the other hand, often use headphones, or are sitting right in front of their monitor screens. Not me though. I still have my PC hooked up to my flatscreen TV, which is roughly 7 or 8 feet away from where I sit as I'm gaming.

On topic: Lady Saga is still in the Leyawiin area. I'm about to post a picture-story these next few days though, so that one will be more detailed.

I never heard nirnroot while playing Oblivion (on PC). I do hear them in Skyrim. I think they turned up the volume.

I can hear them fine, but Lothran needs to stand pretty close.

They are audible in ESO as well, and they (miraculously) grow back. Something must have changed over the eras.

Acid (spray) rain.

Lothran has just realized something; there's less than two weeks left on his hibernation. Yes; two more weeks and then it's time to leave and re-explore the rest of Cyrodiil again, starting with Chorrol as is tradition.

Blimey. Feels like it was just mere weeks ago that he got there, not three months!

Yup, snow and time fly when enjoying the winter in Bruma!

It does foh sho.


Lothran is spending the last week in the Jeralls wrapping things up. Clearing caves and roads one last time and enjoying the mountains are on the list, as well as the usual evenings at Olav's of course. And as always he doesn't feel ready to leave but as I say; if you don't leave you can't come back

As Lothie begins planning for his spring pilgrimage south, have any new spells occurred to him over the cold winter? That is, does he have much new spell crafting and testing planned when he gets to the Arcane University?

No, he seems quite content with his selection of spells now. Maybe a tweak here or there could be done but nothing springs to mind and definitely no major changes are necessary. Most of the necessary stuff has been done. If anything I reckon he could do some spring cleaning as there are a few spells he's never actually used. Then again, he doesn't have a too heavy spellbook and those spells could potentially be useful in a situation later on.

Given his years of experience that makes sense. Perhaps a fine tune tweak here or there then based on the last year of usage.

Yes, he's pretty much nailed it down at this point.


Last day east of Bruma. Checked out the camp on the road; no bandits or loot in the chest and no ogre. Evening was spent at Jerall View as a nice change of pace. Tomorrow Lothran will go to the west of Bruma and yes, last evening for the season will be spent at Olav's.

My gosh. He's really leaving? How many times have you done this pilgrimage over the years?

Ten years now. Barely gotten started

Last day in Bruma and last night at Olav's Tap and Tack. Ongar got shot down once alongside Karinnarre who got in the way. Even Lothie took an arrow which he of course kept for himself


Capstone Cave was cleared out one last time during the day and the road west to the first bridge is also clear and that's the way Lothran will take tomorrow when he has locked up his house and left Bruma for this season.


Next up: Chorrol and the Colovian Highlands!

Lothran got up early this morning, he had lots to do. First thing was to put out the fireplace. Then put back Snowflake with the rest of the Winter collection which btw got an addendum yesterday after having cleared out Capstone Cave. Not only did Lothran find one last silver nugget, but also a Frost enchanted battle axe which he actually didn't already have.

He closed the door to the bedroom, got his gear from the hallway chest and after one last look of his house, Lothran was out the door.


He stood on the steps to his house and looked around. Sun was up and the sky was for once all clear. Three and a half month of constant snowing was over, signaling that spring was just around the corner. Waving goodbye to the guards who were the only other ones up this early, Lothran was out the North gate.

A bittersweet departure as Lothran yields to the promise of spring. . . .

"Same procedure as every year"


Said elf is now in Chorrol. The walk there was amazing with sunshine and vibrant colors and 50 shades of green. He arrived at dusk and is currently sitting in the dining area of the Oak and Crosier. Hasn't rented a room yet for the night, though.


I say this every year, but it's like playing an expansion rather than the core game when Lothran gets down from Bruma, having not seen anything other than snow and mountains for almost four months. It's truly swanky

To where shall he go first? I await with bated breath.

Lady Saga is in Bravil. There, that's my update for today.
