QUOTE(mirocu @ Dec 4 2015, 03:16 AM) The Ayleid statues Lothran has four Ayleid statues and theyre all decorating his Bruma home. He added one to his collection this year in fact but I dont remember where he found it. Another three statues are at Umbacanos manor in Talos Plaza so in total he has found seven out of the ten out there. Always awesome when theres more to be discovered, I never fully want to find everything as I always want something to strive for. Lothran doesnt dungeon dive as much anymore but knowing theres three statues left gives him a reason to maybe go check that ruin over there after all... As for Umbacano himself, well, he is now a permanent resident of Nenalata. Things didnt go quite as he had expected but hey, at least he gets to sit in the throne for all eternity Lothran was very much surprised when he found out the dark side of Umbacano as he had seemed to be such a nice guy before that. Always so friendly and welcoming. Always so generous paying up for every statue he brought to him. The big battle that ensued deep in the old ruin prompted Lothran to take the Ayleid crown of Lindai off Umbacano as a reminder that even the nicest of persons can have a dark side to them and that its best to always be careful around even close friends. You never know who they really are deep down... Wait, if Lothran only turned in 7 statues, how is Umbacano living in Nenalata? I thought he only went there after he got the full collection! Or, maybe you just get the 10,000 gold bonus if you turn all 10 in. (?) I never knew you could complete the questline without finding them all !!! But if so, yes - awesome that one day you will find the others !!!

Yeah, thats the problem. They are two different questlines actually and you can complete the Ayleid crown thing before you complete the statues collecting one, thus eliminating your chances of ever finishing it.

Is it stuck in your journal? I always wait till I have collected them all, then sell one to trigger that quest to start. That way I turn in all the statues at once before starting the second half of that questline ("Nothing you can Possess"). I never realized you could end the second before the first was over!

Hunting ogres in Pale Pass Its now a tradition for Lothran to go to Pale Pass and hunt ogres on Christmas. Just yesterday he packed up his things and in the early morning he set out. He usually carries the same stuff every year; a frost enchanted bow with 40 arrows, Goldbrand and of course Snowflake, the present from Buffy He also carries 20 self-made poisons. This is about the only time of the year he uses a bow so its something he looks forward to and this year he has a new strategy; get the ogres attention with the bow and follow up with a spell he got in Shivering Isles this year called Icy Blaze, a spell that (obviously) does both frost and fire damage. In other years he has usually followed up with Goldbrand but this way was a bit quicker and he didnt need to constantly switch weapons. The ogres take good damage from the initial shot from a hidden position so all it takes to bring them down is two hits from the spell. Its always a special feeling to return to Pale Pass. This is the place I remember the most from Lothrans early days which, I guess, is why we always want to return. The tradition to go every Christmas is a few years old but I dont know exactly when it started. A rough guess is around 2010-2011, and like many traditions it started by pure coincidence. I wanted to return and it just happened to be at Christmas, and the following year I remembered making a save on the 23rd by the ruin in Pale Pass and thus, the tradition was born He doesnt bother with the ruin however. He knows its empty and quiet and theres no need to go through it again and disturb the peace. He does have fun in the snowy valley though Setting up camp on the usual spotLet the hunting commence

Lothran's houses As many already know, Lothran has three houses; one in Bruma, one in Bravil and the shack in the Imperial City waterfront. I would have preferred to have just one house or maybe two, but Lothran insisted on one more and as I could see where he's coming from I agreed to it. I should mention that technically he has a fourth home, the manor in Anvil, but he has never used it and he never visits it. The only reason it's listed in his stats is because it had a quest attached to it, and he was interested to see it through. But as far as we both are concerned it's not owned by him and has been donated to the city of Anvil. The Imperial City shackThis one was purchased because of its closeness to the Arcane University and because Lothran spent so much time in the City in his early days and he wanted a place to call his own. He also desperately needed a place in which to store things before he went to Bruma to find Ongar. Don't ask why he needed to find him though Dinner table areaBed and fireplaceThe Bruma homeNot much is needed to say about it I reckon as I've already talked about it quite a bit. It's his only "real" home and he decided to get it before he even passed through the gates to Bruma. He has spent hours decorating and organizing it. It's a beautiful home Welcome!Just a small displayThe kitchenCollection of all the Bruma handbillsDownstairsDownstairs 2The studySleeping areaThanks for stopping by!The Bravil homeThe last house to be purchased by the Dunmer. Careful consideration very much preceeded it but like the other homes it has served its purpose well. It was needed because of the sudden appearance of the Shivering Isles in the Niben Bay and Lothran needed a place close by where he could store all the trinkets and gadgets that he found there. But as it has turned out its also a very good place to stay when he's in the deep south, or at least on his way to it Please hang your coat hereTo the left To the rightAnd theres the bedroomThe tentAnd yes, he does have his tent as well. It has been with him all over Cyrodiil, from the warm parts south of Skingrad to the frozen land in Pale Pass and it has even been a shelter to him in the Shivering Isles. But it's actually his second tent. The first one was bigger and had more things in it, but he repeatedly had problems with it (he couldn't exit) and so it had to go. That one was also something he had to carry around while this second one is summoned, utilizing his skills as a conjurer. The insideThis post has been edited by mirocu: Dec 12 2021, 11:26 AM

QUOTE(Acadian @ Jan 15 2016, 08:10 PM) Buffy always thinks of the Bruma cabin as Lothies main home and is so happy that he got the fireplace fixed several years ago. She knows how beautifully cozy it is inside, replete with a pumpkin from Mooch and a spare bear pelt for Buffy to curl up in when she visits.
The Bruma house is basically his only home, the others just serve as storage units with sleeping arrangements And that bear pelt is still there in case Buffy suddenly decides to pop by QUOTE(Acadian @ Jan 15 2016, 08:10 PM) Buffy never understood why Lothran wanted the Waterfront home except that it is on the water. The University has plenty of spare beds after all. Of course, Buffy doesnt really know much (or perhaps chooses not to know) of some of Lothrans darker dealings where that house could come in handy.
Oh, Lothrans dealings arent really that dark. In the past he just did what he felt was necessary. He doesnt deal with it now though, but hes glad for all the friends he got when he did The University might have many beds for Lothran when hes in the City, but it doesnt have much peace and quiet compared to the Waterfront shack QUOTE(Grits @ Jan 18 2016, 10:43 PM) How fun to learn about and see some pictures of Lothrans homes! The waterfront shack and Bruma house are my favorites. I look forward to seeing Lothrans little house on the water.
Thanks! Yeah, Ill add some pictures later. Sucks that I dont already have taken them.
