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. 🌲

I apologize that the adventuring hasn't been so spectacular yet folks. She will return to Fort Hastrel since it has vampires. Well, I'm pretty sure she will. Never know 100% when it comes to Lady Saga.

Let's see what'll happen. We last saw my blonde elf in the township of Sutch.

I find her in Lord Drad's Estate. In my Fourth Era gameworld, Drad rents or sells the former slave houses. One of mine can pay him for an entire month, or buy the place outright. Saga has apparently rented in the past.

Inside the slave house is an Imperial Forester, which is excellent news. This guy's a follower! She spends the night here, and the next morning off they go to the ... east.

They don't get very far before they find Bleak Mine. She has already been in here before, the place contains ogres, and other such monsters. Meh. She moves on.


Early afternoon
She finds a Colovian Soldier standing in golden grass. "You. I've seen your kind before. You've got blood on your hands," he says. "Keep your blade sheathed, you murdering bastard, or I'll put you down myself!"

(Lol, my elf never carries blades! )

Well, so much for hiring this guy as a follower. Surprisingly, his Disposition toward her is 100, despite the words he just said. Saga decides to ask the guy if he wants to come along with her. Excited by the prospect of easy earnings, he says "Let's get going!" She gives the soldier 100 gold right up front.


Party of Three

So now she's got two followers, which is important. There are times when it can get pretty rough as they travel in the middle of nowhere.

Overall, Saga wants her horse protected most of all. 🐎 Her horse (a bay) carries everything, and so this is mostly what her followers do--keep her hooved beast protected, especially from all those pesky nuisance creatures. When she goes underground, the soldier & forester will stand guard at her camp.

They travel east for a few hours. After some time they get attacked by a durzog (goblin beast) and then a large cat. The Imperial Forester is able to heal himself but the Colovian Soldier apparently doesn't know healing spells! And he's been hurt pretty bad.

There's an Ayleid ruin to the north but my elf decides to call it a day. The party builds camp, and spends the night under the stars.
