Final Thoughts on Ysani’s Skyrim Run
As with previous Skyrim playthroughs I’ve done, here’s the final roundup post reviewing Ysani’s playthrough, and major highlights of it for me! This will be long, so everything will be behind a More tag.

In Which Ysani Defeats Alduin in Sovngarde
This post, as anticipated, covers Ysani’s final session! Started with the peace council at High Hrothgar, hit two different dragon lairs, and then finally reported to Dragonsreach to call Odahviing–leading to Skuldafn, and finally, to Sovngarde!

In Which Ysani Takes Vorstag to the Blades and the Fight to Alduin
Back to a single session post this time, but one that packs a lot into it. Because I got Vorstag inducted into the Blades–and then returned to the main plot, having round one of the fight with Alduin and then proceeding to set up the peace conference at High Hrothgar!

In Which Ysani Brings Ingjard to the Blades
This is nominally a double session post—I say nominally, because while this post covers play done on Thursday 5/5 and Friday 5/6, Friday’s play session was super short.
Main action: getting Ingjard of the Dawnguard on deck as a follower, and taking her through Forelhost before presenting her as a recruit for the Blades. And then hiring Vorstag in Markarth, and beginning to take him through Ragnvald.

In Which Ysani Obliterates Northwatch Keep and Brings Jenassa to the Blades
This post covers play done on Tuesday 5/3 and Wednesday 5/4. Main action: taking Jenassa on a trip to free Thorald Gray-Mane from Northwatch Keep, and then taking her to be a recruit for the Blades. Side action: general adventuring, including running Shalidor’s Maze and slaying the dragon at Eldersblood Peak.

In Which Ysani Retrieves Grimsever for Mjoll the Lioness
In this post, I’m covering play done on Sunday 5/1 and Monday 5/2. Main action here: finishing a run through all my various places, selling off a bunch of loot brought home from Solstheim. Then commencing an effort to find recruits for the Blades—and at the same time, see about rescuing Thorald Gray-Mane from the Thalmor!

In Which Ysani Defeats Vahlok, Karstaag, and Miraak
This post covers play done on Friday 4/29 and Saturday 4/30! And these are the final two sessions for Solstheim in Ysani’s run, as the Saturday night session saw Ysani’s successful takedown of Miraak in Apocrypha. Also defeated: Vahlok the Jailor and Karstaag the ghost frost giant!
-
In Which Ysani Explores Fahlbtharz, Kagrumez, and White Ridge Barrow
This double session post covers play done on Wednesday 4/27 and Thursday 4/28. Main action: exploring more of the side locations on Solstheim, namely Fahlbtharz, Kagrumez, and White Ridge Barrow!
-
In Which Ysani Invests in Merchants and Slays Ildari Sarothril
This double session post covers play done on Monday 4/25 and Tuesday 4/26. Main action: a lot of investing in merchants when I unlocked the right perks in Speech! Finishing Kolbjorn Barrow! Confronting and slaying Neloth’s mad apprentice Ildari Sarothril! And committing to Team Rieklings, in the question of who needs to control Thirsk Mead Hall!
And as always, lots and lots of dragons, as well as rearranging perk points after setting a couple of things Legendary!

In Which Ysani Quests Through Benkongerike, Kolbjorn Barrow, and All of Skyrim
Another double session, covering play done on Saturday 4/23 and Sunday 4/24. Main action: running Benkongerike (and picking up the Black Market power!), running phase three of Kolbjorn Barrow, then doing a grand tour of Skyrim to a) do a loot selling run, and b) work my way over to Lost Valley Redoubt so I could inspect a briarheart for Neloth.
