Hello, and welcome to the Lady Saga Exploration Thread. In this thread, we'll be traveling along with Aerin of Valenwood, also known as Lady Saga, as she explores as much of Cyrodiil and Valenwood as she can.

I originally rolled Saga on Playstation 3 just before Skyrim was released, on October 19, 2011. The idea of her game was to simply explore all the locations my other characters never got around to visiting. Light on quests and story, but heavy on travel, adventure, delving and scouting. Since 2011 I have made three different versions of Saga: the original on PS3, a second version for Xbox (who lives in the first year of the Fourth Era), and a third version for PC, who lives in the fifth year / 4E I think. The version of Saga in this thread is the one originally on Xbox, but I transferred her game to PC several years ago.

Here are some pics.

3rd Era 433 (PS3)

4th Era Year 1 (Xbox)

On my original room computer I had a notepad page which listed every location my elf visited, especially all the dungeons, the lairs, the caves, the forts, and so on. As some of you know, at the beginning of this year that computer's drive went bad! A geek repair shop was able to retrieve some stuff off that drive, but not Saga's Locations.txt file.

So in this thread we're starting all over with the list. And as she discovers or rediscovers each place, the location will be linked up above in this OP. I figure this will be a fun way to get back into Elder Scrolls 4. 🌲

Did she find January in Crowhaven?

[Renee]

Ha ha, must have just missed Jan! I have pictures by the way, I'll post 'em tomorrow.

11:29 am -- She finds Beldaburo (nice, that was quick!) I have a feeling she's been here before, maybe in her original game on PS3. But here on my game today (PC), Beldaburo does not appear on her map. I don't remember what sort of enemies are in here, but I have a "good" feeling this is one of the fun dungeons.

She tells her horse to stay behind, and then gathers the following from its invisible satchel: Dwemer Bow, 5 bone arrows, 20 iron arrows, and 30 silver arrows. Silver, because she seems to think Beldaburo has more undead inside.

She wears her (mod-added) Ranger armor set, and her hands are covered by Battlehunter Gauntlets, which allow 65 feet of Detect Life.

She carries 11 homemade poisons, mostly Damage Health or some other Attribute. She also has a half-dozen homemade potions: Restore Health, Fatigue, and Magicka mostly.

Lady Saga. She can survive in wilderness where others starve, but she's also a pro at dungeoneering. Detect Life, Light, and Nighteye she uses these on and off to navigate the ruin. Dispel cancels any of these effects. She can also use Unlock spells, although only for Easy locks so far. She can make herself invisible. And since she's born under The Lord, she's got the Blood of the North time-based healing spell.

See? She's well-equipped, and usually well-prepared.

She also has the ability to Astral Project, using her spirit to see as far as she wants (this is me playing with TFC command). But for her to use this, she's gotta be able to wait an hour. None of my other characters have this ability.

Outside of Beldaburo is two Conjurers. She is able to jump upon a huge boulder, summon bears and rats, and occasionally get a good shot at her opponents.

Inside Beldaburo are daedra and undead, which are apparently enemies to each other! ... This is the MMM mod in action. Sometimes it'll put competing factions or enemies in the same cell.

Thing is, she's not really keen on fighting either of these, not tonight anyway. Saga mostly hunts NPCs. That's what all those poisons are for. So she leaves Beldaburo after a couple hours, and heads back to her horse up on the hill.

9:51 pm -- She spends the night in front of Beldaburo's entrance.
