Exiled and Alone, An Altmer on the Run Options

Fleeing from Summerset

I can’t believe this is how my life has ended up. On the run from my own home, city, and country. And all because I chose to stand up for my ideals, and dared to disagree with the Thalmor and their ruthless methods. No more. I won’t be a part of their wrongdoings and misgivings. But, where to go? The Empire is not what it once was, and the Thalmor have their grimy fingers in just about everyone else’s sweet roll, too....

Whatever. I suppose I’ll head to Hammerfell and go from there. Nothing remains for me here in Firsthold. Those evil bastards saw to that, when they killed the only family I had left. Rest peacefully, brother, and know the cowards who ambushed you have seen their actions returned in kind. And I won’t stop there, either. Someone has to take the fight to these radicals, and when that time comes, I will be there to lend my talents in earnest.

My Paled Pass

That was a short lived hike. Apparently the mountainside shifted recently and an avalanche has engulfed the road through the Pale Pass. I'm not going anywhere for a while. The workers on the road said it will be at least a month before it's traversable again, and the Legion has the first rite of passage.

So, I guess I'm stuck here in Bruma. Looks like I'll be cozying up to the Nords for a while.... Maybe I can get some information on this little rebellion of theirs. I wouldn't be surprised of some of the residents came here to get away from the fighting.

Layover in Helgen

The pass was clean and empty when I was finally allowed through. The workers finished up early than expected, and once the troops were through, they sent me on my way. I have to say, for being so anti-mer, the Nords of Bruma were a hospitable folk. Maybe it's just these Stormcloaks that will take issue with another Altmer in their land.

Helgen seems okay. Though, I suspect that's only because it's under control of the Empire still. Tomorrow, I'll head out to see the rest of Skyrim. Vilod told me of a little village where I might get more than one opinion on this war. A quaint little hamlet to the northwest named Riverwood.

I must say, this Juniper mead is quite pleasant. Not at all what I expected the Nords to drink.

The Sleeping Giant

Riverwood is indeed a nice little village, and the folks are nice enough here, too. I decided to stay here for a few days while I scout the area, and get a feel for the land. Tomorrow will be the time to get moving, though. I'll make for Whiterun, since they seem to play a prominent role in the conflict, and have managed remained neutral thus far.

But, the locals have asked me to clear out some bandits from a nearby mine. I guess a little practice never hurt anything.
