Ugmung, Named him after myself Options

[ugmung]

Im new here so i dont know how this all works so ill start with the introduction and the first chapter



-------------------------------INTRO--------------------------------------


As I walk along the dirt road of the clearing. I look up at the fresh clean air that was once blight in an age of terror, I smell the scent of victory, something I longed waited for. Dagoth Ur is gone; this day will be remembered all throughout the history of Vvardenfell, the day the immortal demon Dagoth Ur was defeated by the hands of the Nerevarine the reborn of the great Nerevar. I walked my way through victory being crowned Hortator of house Redoran, of house Hlaalu, and of house Telvanni. Slayed the seven vampires, obtained the hammer Sunder and the blade Keening. They call me the Nerevarine; I never thought this was my destiny. These were my thoughts as I walked, walked from the great walls of Ghostgate to the great waters of Vivec. These were my thoughts, this is my land, and this is where I belong. Of immortality, I shall not rest but live the life I never dreamed possible. Vivec is no longer the lord of the land but I shall now take his dying place…




I woke, the sun glaring down at my face. I got up and just sat there. No sound. I went to my window hoping to find my father gardening or taking care of the horses. He wasn’t in sight. I got dressed and reached for my dagger but found something instead, a note.

Dear son,
You may be wondering where I am, don’t worry
I’m fine. I just wanted to tell you I may be gone for a while
If you need anything go to Favel’s house
Ask around, he’s pretty well known in Balmora
It has been a while since your last visit.
He’s an old colleague of mine and he’s like a distant brother to me
He will treat you like one of his own.

P.S
There are some coins on your dresser if you didn’t already see them


I folded it back up and walked over to the dresser and picked the coin bag up and placed in on my belt. I walked out of the house to go to the stables to feed and groom the horses. But something caught my attention, it was a coin. Not a piece of gold it was a coin with a circle cut in the middle with strange writing around it. I examined it very closely even though I’m not an educated child it looked familiar. I bet Favel would know. I anxiously groomed and fed the horses. I chose the horse I favored the most, Ugmar. I named it after me, Ugmung. Even though I am Dunmer, to me Ugmung is not a Dunmer name. It is rather a Nord name or an Orc’s. The question was always in my mind. I stroked his hair and climbed up onto him “HIYA!”.



------------------:::CHAPTER 1::: PELAGIAD-------------------------------



The morning was very pleasant. The sun shining as the wind against my face felt wonderful. Father was right I haven’t seen Favel since I was a child. He is a great man, I remember when we used to sit down and tell me stories when he was young and strong and he used to fight powerful demons. Now that I think about it I was silly to believe in those stories. He is just a mere merchant and probably doesn’t know anything about combat much less fight a demon. I always wanted to be a freelancer or an adventurer and fight demons like Favel said he did. But I know father wouldn’t allow that, he would think it’s too dangerous; but if I get the proper training anything is possible.
As I pass road by road I show up in a little town called Pelagiad I think I will rest here for the night it is getting late and I bet Ugmar is tired. I’ve never been in Pelagiad so I’m not familiar with the local taverns or shops. As I pull up I saw a guard standing talking to another guard. Maybe they’re switching posts. I got off of Ugmar and started to pull him towards the two guards. “Excuse me, I’m not from around here. Where’s the local tavern?” I asked. “I don’t know go away” replied the guard. Frustrated I asked again “If I’m interrupting anything I’m terribly sorry but me and my horse need somewhere to stay”. The guards ignored me. I walked away hoping to find someone else to tell me where it is. It is late and no people in sight are walking around the town at this time. The only people you would see were the selfish guards. I walked a little farther and saw a middle aged man in a cloak talking to someone behind a shop. Cautiously I walked up to them. As I got closer I started to hear their conversation. Cloaked Man “Yes, I heard a man up in Ald’ruhn stumbled upon the coin sir”. Man 2 “Oh really? Find him, kill him, and take the coin”. Cloaked Man “Yes sir” They started to part so I slowly started to walk back. I went a little farther than the guards then turned around and saw the cloaked man walking towards the guards. He started talking to the guards then one of the guards nodded his head and walked off and the cloaked man walked off in a different direction. Only the one guard remained. I started to walk again in the direction of the cloaked man and he turned into a building. I went to the entrance of the building and it read “Halfway Tavern” I went to the surrounding fence of the inn and quickly tied him up. I walked into the tavern. As I walked into the tavern there were drunks asleep in their chairs and the innkeeper cleaning up the mess from earlier. The cloaked man wasn’t in sight. I walked up to the innkeeper and asked permission to keep my horse where it was and rented a room. I walked up the stairs and found my room. I took my belt off and placed it on the nightstand. Laid in bed and fell asleep.
When I woke the next morning. I realized that my belt was gone. The coin was with my belt. I quickly rampaged through the room searching everything it was early morning and I didn’t know that I put it on the nightstand. All my drakes were in my coin purse strapped to my belt. But I was more worried about the strange coin. I left the room and stormed down stairs and went to the bartender. “Have you seen a brown leather belt anywhere, I cannot find it anywhere!” I explained. “Hmmm no, well we have seen drunks after dark rumbling through peoples rooms while their sleeping. But now we don’t let them upstairs anymore. This is a problem we cannot help you with. Sorry.” said the bartender. “Maybe one slipped past you?” I replied. “After Midnight we throw everyone out who isn’t sleeping we give those folks a break, I remember you. You came in pretty late,” said the bartender. “Well have you seen a man in a black cloak last night right before me?” I said. “Yeah I remember him he was a little strange. He demanded getting a room fast and a big one. Other people in cloaks started coming in after him. It was very strange. He checked out a few minutes before you came down,” replied the bartender. “Thanks.” I said heading towards the door. “Good luck finding the thief who took your belt. Try the legion they’re good with those things.” said the bartender. Empty handed, I walked towards Ugmar hoping he wasn’t gone too. I found him still tied up, unharmed. I got on him and rode towards the main road again.

[ugmung]

standing in front of the guild. A female Nord in fur, walked past me. "Excuse me." i screamed running towards her. "Yes what do you need?" she answered very sternly. "can you tell me where the Eight Plates are located?" i asked. "haha, the 'Eight Plates' is a building. And you can find it on the other side of the river." "oh, thanks"

I walked off embarrased. I turned around and saw the Nord giggle as she walked away in a diffrent direction. I walked towards the river then crossed the bridge and through another opening and found myself back near the Fighters Guild. To my right i saw a set of stairs heading up. i figured to up that way. Again i was lost. The only person in sight was a guard. It was dark and getting late so i had to find Favel before he left the Eight Plates. I walked up to the guard. "um, excuse me." "yes" he answered. "where is the Eight Plates from here?" i asked. "well your close." i could tell the guard was Dunmer also. "just continue going straight from here. You will find a sort of cross over building go to the right entrance." "This way?" i pointed in the direction i was facing. "yes that way." "okay thank you" i started walking straight like i was told. i saw the building. there was an arch above me. i was told to go through the right entrance.

Inside the building was gloomy. it wasnt very well lit but enough to see. i started at the stair set to my right. The stairs brought me to a rather old man in some iron armor with a shelf full of diffrent armor and small weapons. "Excuse me" the man gave a unusual look. "i was told that a man by the name of Favel would be found here. Do you know him?" i asked. "Oh yes, i know im very well." he kept staring at me. "Oh great. where can i find him?" i asked. "IM Favel!" He released a very low laugh then started coughing. "Oh and you are?" he asked still laughing. "My name is Ugmung." he stopped "ugmung? Well if you are who you say you are, wait here." he walked right past me down towards the stairs. I started looking at the shelf full of weapons. there were many diffrent sorts of small weapons like shortswords, daggers, throwing knifes, a mace and other things along with armor. I saw a bed and sat down. and the end of the bed was a big cloth. i picked it up and threw it right back down. He was the man in the cloak! startled i got off the bed and started to walk towards the shelf again when i ran into Favel. "Woah, careful." Favel said. "here sit" he pulled up a chair right next to his bed. "ahhh, Ugmung....How long has it been six, seven years?" he asked. "um, well, ya-yeah about thhat." i said. "whats wrong?" he asked. "notthing, im justt a littlle coldd." i said. "oh, well it is close to winter. he put this on you'll get warmed up. he handed me the cloak. "no, i fine." i cleared my throat. "are you sure?" he asked disappointed but not supprised. "yes im fine." i said. "well okay then, where were we? Oh yes. How did you get here?" i asked. "Well i rode here on my horse. hes roped up at the entrance." i said. "ohh, ok" as he spoke i noticed he had something rapped up in is arms. "well you can rest here tonight if you like." and with that he got back up and put whatever was in his hands on a table. "well goodnight." he left the room going downstairs again. i sat there staring at the object on the table. i was tired and i laid in the bed. confused. I couldnt go to sleep and Favel never came back up so i just laid there. the all of a sudden it was morning.
