Alarrah Playthrough

There Once Was a Sword, It is Said

Twitter thread from 5/21/2021, in which Alarrah’s player composes a limerick in honor of Dawnbreaker.

There once was a sword, it is said
That packed a punch ‘gainst the undead
In the name of Meridia
And my darling Lydia
I’ll use it to cut off your head.

— Alarrah the Dragonborn, to the next draugr she sees
