In Which Gyllerah Quests through Shadowfen for the Ebonheart Pact
Finally, reaching 2024 with my backlog of ESO posts! This is another one where I’m splitting my usual habit of covering a week’s worth of action in a single ESO post, just because Gyllerah did a lot in the first week of January and I don’t want this post to be enormous. So here we go with the first three days of January, for a much shorter and quicker post.
Main action here: running Shadowfen as part of Cadwell’s Silver, and starting the House of Histories mural hunting plot in Northern Elsweyr.

In Which Finds-The-Way Becomes Guildmaster of the Thieves Guild
As you eventually do if you’re me and you’re running the Thieves Guild in Skyrim, I finally got Finds-the-Way to the point of becoming Guildmaster! So most of this session from early January is her doing the thievery work necessary to pull that off.
And oh yeah, she’s also now thane of the Reach!

In Which Kendeshel Gets Married and Fights Pirates
Back around to Skyrim now, as I’m finally in 2024 as I work through my backlog of playthrough posts. This one is for Kendeshel’s run, in early January, and features assorted side questing–and Kendeshel getting married to Rulnik Wind-Strider! And it’s a double session post because the session I did on the 5th was quite short.

In Which Marwyth Gains a Companion and Saves Fort Amol
Last post of 2023 content for Marwyth’s playthrough on ESO. This is for the final few days in December, and features a bunch of action all over the place: New Life Festival, moving the plot along in Eastmarch, picking up Ember as Marwyth’s first Companion, and more!

In Which Marwyth Witnesses the Rampage of Veya Releth
I’ve been doing posts for ESO lately that cover an entire week’s worth of action for my various toons, but here I’m going to make an exception. Because for the last week of 2023, I got in enough action with Marwyth that doing a full week for a post would be enormous. So I’m chopping that week’s action in half, and for this post, I’ll talk about the 24th through the 26th of December.
Because this was when I ran the plot to meet Veya Releth in Balmora–a character who becomes very important later in the Summerset portion of the Daedric War storyline! And I have a lot to say about that, so this deserves a post all to itself.

In Which Gyllerah Meets Mirri and Vastarie, and Acquires a Dragonhorn
Finally getting down to the end of my backlogged 2023 posts! Here’s the very last one I’ll be putting up for Gyllerah on ESO, before I start getting into Gyllerah’s action in 2024.
As per several previous recent ESO posts, I’m only counting “sessions” as play days where I do so something above and beyond crafting or fishing. Any day in this post not explicitly described, you may assume I logged in and did basic crafting, writs, fishing, etc.
Main highlights of this post’s action: running the Gloomreach delve in the Reach and adventuring down into Blackreach; running the quest to pick up Mirri as my second official ESO Companion; meeting Vastarie the necromancer; and pushing the quest further along in Northern Elsweyr.

In Which Elessir Acquires Auriel’s Bow
Another Skyrim catchup post, the last one of my 2023 sessions. This is Elessir’s playthrough, and a super short post, because this one just basically covers his hitting the Forgotten Vale with Serana and Lucien.

In Which Finds-The-Way Does Favors for the Jarl of Markarth
Short post since this is mostly familiar action, and hardly any German language commentary, even. Main action here is Finds-The-Way running favor quests to achieve the thaneship of the Reach, but with a side helping of aetherium shard acquisition, and also thievery!
-
In Which Kendeshel Explores the Ruins of Winterhold
Back to Kendeshel’s playthrough! After this one I have four more playthrough posts left for catching up on 2023, then I can work on getting caught up on 2024’s posts!
Main action here: running the Fall of Winterhold quest added in by Immersive College of Winterhold; taking out Tyra Blood-Fire, the Seducers bandits near Forsaken Cave, and the dragon Viinturuth; and doing a little light thievery on behalf of the East Empire Company in Windhelm.

In Which Elessir Recovers a Third Elder Scroll and Confronts Alduin
Slowly closing in on the end of my 2023 catchup posts! This one is back to Elessir’s Skyrim playthrough.
Main action here is finishing up in Blackreach, and discovering to my chagrin that I’d left Septimus’ Lexicon behind when I left with the Elder Scroll; retrieving the Lexicon, taking it back to Septimus, and meeting Hermaeus Mora; confronting Alduin for the first time on the Throat of the World; and running Ancestor Glade to discover the location of Auriel’s Bow.
