My horses had a foal and after it’s birthday I changed it to purple and as soon as I was done it said that it had a birthday which I thought was odd since it had just had it’s birthday and shouldn’t be aging again for at least another 60 sim days and out of nowhere came the Grim Reaper who proceeded to gallop away on my horse. Didn’t even leave behind a tombstone.
I’ve been having strange dreams as of late… I’d better go easy on the ale for a while.
Still The 8th OF Heartfire 4E 201
10:16AM
After being chased by a wolf and a transparent snake creature (perhaps it was a frost wyvern?) Brego and I found Steepfall Burrow.
10:20AM
Frost troll! We are out of here!
10:30AM
Practiced my archery on a horker. Such amusing creatures.
10:45 AM
Decided to train in magic at the College of Winterhold before going on any more quests.
11:12AM
Passed through Solitude. This place is deeeaaaddd.
1:34PM
Found an abandoned shack. Blood everywhere. Need key to open. Not sure if I really want to… Oh, who am I kidding? I’m dying to get in!
2:14PM
Happened upon Frostflow Lighthouse. Dead horse outside. More later.
“Pyramide de crânes” (“Pyramid of Skulls”), Paul Cézanne, 1898-1900.
Reminds me of that one time I raided a cannibalistic cult’s hideout. in the half-sunken ruins of Dinalta’s Deep, just across from Half-Moon Mill, West of Whiterun and North of Falkreath. The cannibals were easy enough to deal with, but the sight of human remains being cooked on spigots still sickens me. After inspecting the mill’s shack out of sheer curiosity, I discovered that the woman who lived there was one of them. I quickly dealt with her and raided the bitch’s house. No one messes with nice fishermen on my watch. What a bunch of creeps.

8:38AM 8th of Heartfire 4E 201
Brego and I have happened upon a cave on our way to Northwatch. More later.
8:43AM
After consulting my map, I believe it is called Lost Echo Cave. I’ll sneak inside and inspect it for any dangers and creatures.
9:10AM
Definitely some creatures in there. Falmers to be precise. I snuck out of there after taking two down. The cave seems to be some sort of burial site for a long lost great warrior. There is an abundant amount of glowing mushrooms. The image I’ve imprinted onto this page is a falmer tent which had nothing but a few human bones and a sword hidden inside. I’ll definitely return there once I’m a more capable warrior and have an able companion to aid me.

Stairs to Meridia’s Statue
When I inspected a large statue to Meridia, a loud woman’s voice fell from the sky and demanded that I find and return her ‘beacon’. If I were a goddess, I’d at least say please. Sheesh. I’ll get to it later.
8:26AM 8th of Heartfire
After being convinced to help, and finding proof that he’s alive (be jealous of my sneaky skills) I’ve offered to try and free Thorald Gray-Mane from Northwatch Keep to prevent bloodshed on either side. I was thinking of the fable character, The Doctor, whom would never use violence to solve his problems. I only hope I may prove to be half as noble.
I am neither with the legion nor the Stormcloaks. My ideal Skyrim is one where foreigners and us nords may live together and thrive in peace. So until that can be made possible, I plan to remain a wanderer.

Hey, look! It’s me last Morndas. (The one on the left, you dingdong.) But for some reason Brego is depicted as a gryphon. Odd. I’m sure she’ll take it as a compliment.

7th of Heartfire 4E 201
Got the sap of the Eldergreen and returned it to the priestess in Whiterun. I’m not sure if it was worth it. I’m sure my heart will be certain once I see the tree bloom again.
When Maurice and I approached the tree and took some of it’s sap, green creatures appeared and began to attack us and the two pilgrims who were peacefully enjoying the view below. I was the only one left alive.. It happened so quickly.. So I drank a potion of invisibility and got the heck out of there as quickly as possible.
Still no sign of Lydia on the way back.
Note: I saw a dragon in the distance when I approached the sanctuary. I believe it may live nearby. Maurice and I had to sneak into the sanctuary.
6th of Heartfire 4E 201
Lydia has been lost on the road. I believe she was attacked by wolves. It is a sad day. I walked the path again to try and find her, but with no such luck. Maurice was completely useless. All he could do was impatiently ask if we were closer to the sanctuary. Can’t wait to ditch him there.
