Evalin's Journal, Memoirs of a Scholar Options

[Syradd]

Hi guys! My name is Syradd, and welcome to the Journal/fic of my character Evalin. I've been playing Oblivion for a couple of years now and I've only gotten into roleplaying a few month's ago, and I must admit that it is a much more thrilling, exciting way to play.

Now, to introduce Evalin.


She was inspired by my absoloute favourite chatacter of the adventure genre. Although they share a similarity in this characteristic, overtime she has grown into her own person, and it's been a lot of fun being with her as she grows into her own strong, independent woman.

So welcome to her diary. The following is somewhat of an introduction, a flavour of Evalin and what's to come with her adventure. I hope you enjoy!

Ahh, it seems I underestimated how much of my life I could contain with my previous diary. Tar-Meena offered me a new one, however. Hopefully this one should last a little longer.

I guess I’ll introduce myself again; for all I know one day I’ll be world famous and these diaries could be ancient artefacts. Haha, I can wish.

Okay, well my name is Evalin, although the ‘A’ is silent, so it’s more Ev-Lin.. I’m a Breton, my parents died when I was eighteen whilst I was already here at the Arcane University in the Imperial City, Cyrodiil.

I love to read, I find knowledge to be more powerful than a blade. I’m skilled in most magicks, mostly Conjuration, Mysticism and somewhat restoration. I’m not much of a fighter, you see.

Okay, I guess that’s enough about me. It wasn’t a lot… but I guess you’ll find out more about me as I continue writing.

So where was I in my last diary… Oh, yes, I remember now.

I am utterly convinced that there are still artifacts from the Ayleids' hidden in some of their temple ruins.

Although the stories have it that the temples are protected, and whoever enters and desecrates the ground can never leave, I find that to be utterly preposterous.

As I, for one, am not a bumbling, numbskull of an adventurer determined to desecrate ancient ruins with my obnoxious rampaging. I am certain that, should the temples be treated with respect, the curses (should there even be any) should not be a problem. All I want is to look around… discover a few secrets.

Tar-Meena, however, doesn’t think the way I do. She is certain that the temples should be left alone. She is so certain of danger and my safety. I find this rather frustrating if I’m to be completely honest. She refuses to leave the University because she finds the outside world dirty and unnecessary… does she expect me to share her views?

She just doesn’t understand. I’m twenty-three years old and in the five years I’ve been here I’ve never left the University for anything other than a quick book run.

I want to find something; I want to make my mark be remembered as something other than a glorified librarian.

I want adventure. I want to know that there is more to Cyrodiil than the life I’ve been bound with.

I’ve heard that there is a small Ayleid ruin nearby on a small island near the Imperial City; Vilverin. That will most likely be my first destination. I imagine I will have to sneak out of the University one evening so Tar-Meena doesn’t guilt me into staying with her.

I guess I’ll spend the evening creating a plan of action, but if all goes well I will most likely set out on my first expedition tomorrow.

Am I excited? Nervous? Terrified... I’ll get back to you!
