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. 🌲

Sun's Dusk 6 -- We camp near the Lord Doomstone as rain falls, and Saga sleeps the next 7 hours. She awakes around midnight and gets the urge to head south. Niryastare is found just after midnight.

She has been here before, Niryastare is already on her map. Inside she can hear two ghosts floating around. She tries going down a set of stairs, but the chamber below is full of poison gas!

And she needs to go grazing anyway. Her supply of food out here in the wilds mostly consists of berries, leaves, flowers, mushrooms, seeds, roots, and so on. She is able to survive on this sort of sustenance, just like a deer. But for her to do this, she must spend a lot of time ... grazing. 🦌

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

mid-afternoon
Um, scratch that. Saga finds Last Chance Camp, and tells her horse to wait while she crouches down with her bow. An outlaw bandit stands nearby with a HUGE axe. This bandit sees my elf and comes rushing, but by then it's too late. Saga hits the bandit with a poisoned arrow, which damages most of the bandit's health. A second arrow finishes the lady off.

I'll hack you to pieces!
Nooo!

There's plenty for her to eat here: goldenrod, fennel, motherword sprigs, plus the outlaw lady had stocked a few essentials. Saga takes it all except for the tuna. She is vegetarian. She sleeps for 4 hours under golden sun.

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

Sun's Dusk 7, Early morning
She decides to head east, and spies a large Imperial fort within the hour. Place is not on her map.

This is Fort Hastrel. A skeleton patrols outside, but when she attempts to shoot it, another enemy is suddenly there: a Champion Ogre! ... Larger than typical, thankfully the ogre decided to fight the skeleton before attacking Saga. She is able to jump upon a nearby boulder, hit the giant with one of her poisoned arrows, and summons a bunch of rats. Within a minute, the ogre is dead.

The place is populated by zombies and vampires. She spends a few hours playing with them but her supply of water is getting low. Saga needs to find a water source, not just for drinking, but for bathing. She eats a pear, and *bam* now she's got brain rot. 💀

She has some mandrake but decides to head back southeast to Sutch. There's a well she can tap for water, and a nearby pond to swim.
