Her Ladyship is keeping busy!

Rainy day in Leyawiin today, so Lothran opted to clear out Telepe and get some Black Bows for his collection. Now he's resting in the room of the third floor of the Fighters Guild and tomorrow he will leave Leyawiin county and head for Cheydinhal county instead.

Yes, it is Oblivion season, yes?

Yes indeed! Lothran is now back in full swing so you can expect more or less daily updates from the Dunmer


Like now: Lothran left Leyawiin in a downpour and has just reached the Drunken Dragon Inn to dry up a bit. On the way he sniped a boar and a rat since they can pose a threat to innocent travelers. Nothing else of note happened.

Typical Leyawiin. Rain. Always. No wonder the dragon got on the drink.

Indeed


Yesterday Lothran once again met a friendly bandit; a Redguard. Having seen his buddy being killed just before I guess he opted to talk to Lothran instead, listening to the Dunmer's jokes and whatnot rather than fighting him. However, Lothran killed the bandit anyway upon ending the conversation. Can't risk having a wildcard around and furthermore; it's yet another danger to innocent travellers.

Today, or early morning as it is, the rain is still pouring down and Lothran is now resting in Cropsford. Cheydinhal is still the goal for this journey.

Yesterday Lena and Geralt went exploring the mountains near Riverwood, just over the border in Skyrim. This was a small "off the books" trip - not a part of the main story, done in a parallel time line. Here is a map:


We wanted to find a way (or several ways) through the mountains to connect Riverwood with The Rift. We tried before from the side of The Rift, and were constantly hitting unscalable mountains, but I cannot believe there is no way... Stubborn, you know. Found a mod that allows you to place your own markers, so off they went sticking flags into the ground...

They did get from Riverwood to the other side eventually, come out where there's "The" in The Rift on the map, after wandering all day. Made it to the Greenwall inn by 2am. Ran into a lot of werewolves... A pack of at least a dozen of them! Really. Geralt collected full 40 portions of werewolf meat - they come with 4 portions each - and there were still some bodies they just left there. Here's when you need a witcher with you! Ran into some unfriendly giants as well, and herds and herds of mammoths, but you can tiptoe around those. One mammoth even helped them fight the werewolves.

Today they'll try to find a way back from Greenwall to the Eastern side of the mountains. I don't think there is a proper way, actually, but it seems I won't have to dig a pass completely underground either. Exploration continues.

mirocu-- Pretty soon he'll be headed off to Bruma. How many years has Lothran gone to Bruma? Um... if you started gaming in 2006 then that's a lot of years.

Lena-- The map is not showing on my end but it's okay. You've been hard at work on this project. It's just so wonderful, your dedication.

Me-- I was gaming a bit with Lady Saga before this week. She's in Valenwood now. Last saw, I tried to add a cabin with a simple merchant along a road she was walking, but I got a couple things wrong in the CS, and had to move on.

Lena - I just noticed there's an inn at Pale Pass! If Lothran knew he'd go bonkers!


I started in February 2007 but I think that tradition started in 2008. I remember winter of 2009 was quite special as I tried out a mod then to make Bruma more wintery. It changed too much though so I got shot of it.

-------------------------
Lothran is now in Cheydinhal and has conducted business in town. Today he will head out eastward to clear the area of riffraff.

Mirocu - the Pale Pass Inn comes from this mod. They call it a home, I say it's an inn! Due North of the Dragonclaw Rock.

I agree, that looks definitely more like an inn than a home.

--------------------------

Area north of Cheydinhal clear of riffraff. Lothran found three wolves, one imp, one bandit and one goblin. Not a single ogre though which is strange as there's usually at least one present. Now Lothran is again relaxing at the Newlands Lodge as the rain keeps pouring down outside.

"It has rained constantly ever since I left Leyawiin"


Lothran was a bit tired of the weather at this point but he pressed on. The stay in Cheydinhal was short but it was time to head to the Imperial City and settle down for a bit. Preparations for the winter journey need to be done and he couldn't miss out on a bet or two at the Arena, or talking to the good people before he left for Bruma.

Right now he's resting at Roxey Inn, soaking wet as he has been the last few days. The dark night was even darker what with the rain and there was still no end in sight.


Outside, the Imperial Legionnaire and his steed slowly made their way eastward. Come rain or shine, their duty called for them, and they must answer. Lothran knew of this all too well.

As Lothran gets to Bruma, I'll switch summer for winter tires on my car(s), because then I know that the winter season 2021/2022 has officially started.

Lopov is exactly right. Lothie heading to Bruma is a sure sign of winter comin'.

Lena, just so you know what we're talking about, mirocu's character Lothran goes to Bruma every year when it gets close to be winter here on Earth.

Since the tradition started in 2008, and mirocu has only rolled one character during all this time (despite my efforts) that means Lothran has been to and from Bruma for the last 13 years. Which is really incredible.

Glad to know you can use his traditions as guidance to road safety


It is a bit remarkable even to me. But this is truly a tradition I love and I always look forward to following Lothran up to the snowy winterhold by the end of November. Bruma is where Lothran has his real home as this is the only place he's bought because he loved the town and the mountains. The other two houses are just for storage and the occasional overnight stay.

But I promise you this, Renee. I'll roll another t00n in Oblivion whenever Acadian does!

Maybe
-------------------

Yes, indeed; winter is coming up! Lothran is now in the Imperial City and has already begun to have fun with the sewer bandits that lurks beneath the Market District. It's one of his favourite pastimes while waiting for stores to open; lots of things to buy but also sell. And then I reckon it's time to visit the Arena again.

Day: 1900
Location: Temple District, The Imperial City
Time: Early morning
Weather: Rain


It just keeps coming down. But on the plusside; the owner of Slash and Smash seems to be back in town. Wonder where he was off to? Lothran will ask him when he goes to see him when all the stores open up. Then he will make another bet at the Arena. Last time was a bust so he needs to make his money back.

As usual though, no new spells or enchantments before heading north. Lothran has no need for any alterations in either department and so what's not broken needs no fixing. The elf has visited the university though, and the Marie Elena, as is customary. It's a galleon I think

Three words: Elder Scrolls Six. Oh yea, I can already here the click of mirocu's cursor on the NEW button. Bring it on baby.

Shouldn't we be able to import our existing characters into it? I think Lothran might fancy it.

I wonder if ES6 will Steam-roll the crow like ES5 did?
