In Which Elessir Investigates Ruins and Caverns, and Becomes Thane of Haafingar
Back to Elessir in Skyrim! Main action in this post: running the Fall of Winterhold quest for the Immersive College of Winterhold mod, and then running Runoff Caverns, one of the few areas in Anniversary Edition content I hadn’t actually played through yet. And as a tasty after-dinner mint, I also got Elessir thaned up in Solitude!

Time to get caught up on Elessir! Main action here: going after Azura’s Star; fighting Tyra Blood-Fire (right after slaying an Elder Dragon); acquiring the Headman’s Cleaver; joining the Thieves Guild; and taking out a nest of skooma dealers to work on the thaneship in Riften.

In Which Elessir Becomes Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold
Swinging back around to Skyrim, and Elessir’s run in particular. Main action here: finishing up getting instruments for the Bards College; investigating what happened to the family in Frostflow Lighthouse; claiming Goldenhills Plantation; and doing a hard push through the rest of the College of Winterhold plot, running Mzulft and Labyrinthian, and then returning to the college for the finale.

In Which Elessir Saves Dawnstar and Finds a Lost Drum
Another single-session post, this time for Elessir, as I try to keep my backlog of game notes moving. 🙂
This session features running the nightmares plot in Dawnstar and getting the drum out of Halldir’s Cairn. With a heaping side helping of WTF as I discover the game put itself into Master tier Difficulty without my wanting it to.

In Which Elessir Recovers Stolen Books and Saves a Bard Festival
Couple more sessions in my modded Skyrim featuring Elessir. Main action: recovering the stolen books from Fellglow Keep; slaying the dragon and Dragon Priest Krosis at Shearpoint; visiting the Augur of Dunlain and learning that the College of Winterhold needs the Staff of Magnus; recovering King Olaf’s Verse from Dead Men’s Respite; reinstating the Burning of King Olaf Festival; and slaying a bandit chief at Fort Fellhammer.

In Which Elessir Saves the Gildergreen and Joins the College of Winterhold
Since I’m running three different playthroughs concurrently right now, I decided I don’t want Elessir and Finds-The-Way doing the exact same things. So while Elessir will be headed eventually for the Thieves Guild, Finds is running that right now. So Elessir’s heading to the College of Winterhold!
Also featured in this post: saving the Gildergreen, and getting a swanky new set of armor.

In Which Elessir Defeats the Wolf Queen, and the Dragon Sahloknir
Second of two Elessir posts I wanted to do today, to get caught up on his run. Main action here: retrieving a helmet from Rimerock Burrow; interrupting a necromantic ritual at Wolfskull Cave; going with Delphine to Kynesgrove and defeating the dragon Sahloknir; returning to Solitude and defeating the undead Potema in her catacombs; and taking her husband’s hunting horn to a Shrine of Talos at the request of Elisif.

In Which Elessir Becomes Thane of Falkreath and Joins the Bards College
First of two posts I intend to put up today, to get caught up on Elessir’s playthrough. Main action in this one: becoming thane in Falkreath, running Ustengrav, and joining the Bards College. With a side helping of frustration over false starts and crashes!

In Which Elessir Speaks to the Greybeards and Cleanses Meridia’s Temple
Four sessions covered in this one, this is a big post!
Lots of early playthrough action for Elessir’s run, with the main highlights being running the In My Time of Need plot (in favor of Kematu); acquiring the Bow of Shadows; acquiring and furnishing Breezehome; going to High Hrothgar and speaking to the Greybeards; running Shroud Hearth Barrow; picking up Lucien as my second follower; investigating the zombie ritual site (and triggering the subsequent random zombie hordes); acquiring Hendraheim; running the Daedra’s Best Friend plot; and last but certainly not least, running Kilkreath Temple to get Dawnbreaker.
