Nightblade fashion update, late winter edition

The Grayest Mouser— He’s working the new Orc (medium chest, hands, waist and legs) and Redguard (light feet—the most awesome, swashbuckling, fold-over boots ever!) designs that dropped with Update 6. Finished out with a light Daedric head and medium Imperial shoulders. Double Daedric daggers for the dual-wield bar, Altmer bow on his second. The inestimable […]

She’s the fair one, but I’m taller.

Call me Xena. Xena l’Egerdemain. That’s my sister Gabrielle. I’m the dark one, she’s the fair one. But I’m taller. Not that that means much, being Bosmer—”wood elves” in the tongues of Man—as a people we’re not exactly known for our verticality. But that doesn’t mean we won’t slit you from gut to gorge if […]

The sisters l’Egerdemain

Meet Xena and Gabrielle l’Egerdemain: Wood Elf Nightblades both.

Maybe it’s not turned on in the beta (though I’m pretty sure that’s NOT true)? But anyway, we still feel a little frisson whenever we start poking around one, as if […]

Dead guy.

This is the kind of detailing and productive mystification that has always been part of what makes the worlds of Tamriel feel alive and like the have an existence beyond the game. Just a body lying in the path on a side of a mountain near one of the Dark Anchors. A mage’s staff by […]

Dungeon delving in Auridon

And the queen even came along on one! Back to her old adventuring days. She’s good people.

More Nirnroot!

Ok, I think I already posted something just like this the first time I found Nirnroot, but I can’t help myself. Even when I’m not doing alchemy in crafting I keep collecting the things, just in case they spring some, “Find 1066 nirnroots and bring them to me for a big reward” quest on me in […]
