Yes, so I just couldn't resist and had to get this off my chest. We'll see how long it lasts. Same deal as with redemption, I'll be using this post as a character list and the first part will be in the next one. For now the list is simple.

A question. Should I add a separate entry for Spar at the very bottom that is basically the extra-spoilers edition?

Spar: A female Imperial and the main character of this story. Is guided by 'Them'.
(Portrait)

Silent Fist: A Companion Spar hires to escort her into Bleak Falls Barrow. He doesn't speak, wear shirts or use weapons. Click here for portrait

Faendal: A wood elf who lives in a small village known as Riverwood. He works as a hunter and lumberjack.

Lucan Valerius: The shopkeeper of Riverwood.

Jarl Balgruuf: The Jarl of Whiterun, a city located in the center of Skyrim between the fronts of the Imperial and Stormcloak factions.

Hrongar: Jarl Balgruuf's brother. Looks like he walked off the set of a Conan-film.

Irileth: A Dunmer who serves as Jarl Balgruuf's bodyguard.

Proventus Avenicci: Jarl Balgruuf's steward.


Vilkas: One of the Companions, a mercenary group in Whiterun
Vignar Grey-Mane: Formerly of the Companions, now retired.

Ulfric Stormcloak: The rebel leader in Skyrim, once on of the Emperor's generals.

Arkarik:
Someone Spar was supposed to meet in Cyrodiil.

I'd like to challenge your assertion that Dragon bone/plate is common as muck.

First, it wasn't available at all until they started being resurrected. Ebony etc. have been mined for centuries, and relatively large amounts should be in circulation, or stashed away at least.

Second, there's no indication that the materials become available to anyone who manages to kill a dragon, other than the Dragonborn. If his/her presence is required to release/preserve them, they're really hard to get.

I can't argue with the bit about the player selling it and not finding it used. It would have made more sense if no-one would touch it, being a material nobody knows how to smith yet. Even Eorlund can't train you to a level that supports that, as he hasn't a clue about Dragon material from his experience.

And for high-temperature insulation? Ceramics. Works for the Space Shuttle, and it's a very old technology.
