Here are my screenshots for the playthrough for the Redguard Kendeshel! I cannot paginate these, so apologies for the length of this album list.
Several of these screenshot galleries contain significant spoilers for the mods I’m running in this playthrough: Legacy of the Dragonborn, Project AHO, Moon and Star, and Wyrmstooth.
And a couple of the galleries are explicitly password-locked. Use the following passwords for these specific galleries:
Session 10: haunting
Sessions 22-23: moonandstar
Grey Spotted Horse in the Distance
My first sighting of the Grey Spotted Horse, which hangs out on the wooded hillside more or less just north of Salvius Farm, roughly northeast of Markarth.
Recruiting Madras for the Explorers Society
Found Madras, an eccentric Dunmer, hanging out with Calcelmo. Didn't have to work very hard at all to convince him to come join the Explorers Society. I hope Calcelmo doesn't mind that I poached him!
And Now I Have Another Horse
Registered, saddled, and named the Grey Spotted Horse at the Markarth stables! And now this run, like Elessir's, has a Rigmor in play.
Recruiting Kyre Oldenson
The fifth and final member I needed to recruit for the Explorers Society, who was hanging out at Left Hand Mine. He perked right up when I recruited him. Guess he wasn't into being a miner! Also, he's kinda cute. <3
Problematic Goat is Problematic
This is not the first time I've seen a slain animal clip into the ground, but it remains weird every time I see it!
And Apparently We Also Need to Find Your Torch?
Delphine has been problematic a few times for me now coming into Sky Haven Temple. This time through she just was limited to holding an invisible torch, at least! She was still able to follow Esbern and me to Alduin's Wall, so we could continue the important main quest conversation about how to take out Alduin, and how I'd need to go pester the Greybeards about a Shout.
Meanwhile, A Shiny Thing
In the meantime, I found this pretty thing by the chest in Sky Haven Temple. I did of course appropriate it for museum display purposes. Don't worry, Delphine and Esbern, I'll make sure the museum credits it properly to the Blades! (And if the mod would let me, I'd totally even pay them for it.)
Sorry Mara, I'm Already on Team Julianos
Technically speaking I know I should be considered a worshipper of Mara anyway, as a citizen of a culture that worships all eight Divines. (Or nine if you're determined to include Talos!) But 'general worshipper of' is _not_ the same thing as 'specifically a devotee of', so yeah, Kendeshel remains Team Julianos.
Yep, I Sure Did Take Out All Those Forsworn By Myself
Well, for values of "by myself" meaning "including my team of summoned Dremora lords", but who's counting?
Dev Aveza at High Hrothgar
I was able to fly right up to High Hrothgar on the Dev Aveza! I find this simultaneously cool and a trifle dismaying--just because it feels like disrespecting the Greybeards to not go up the 7,000 steps! (On the other hand, it DOES give me a place to actually sleep if I need to during my visit!)
Guardian of the Amulet of Kings
I had to talk to this guy about this whole question of the shards of the Amulet of Kings. Convinced him I was on the level, and he asked me to take his shard as well, and help him find another guardian who was supposed to be coming up from Cyrodiil.
Tinvaak With an Old Dovah
Paarthurnax is really hard up for proper conversation if he gets excited by a human-sized Dragonborn breathing fire at him! 'Cause seriously, any fire I'm going to be able to produce must surely be only a fraction of what a dragon can put out? His mouth is WAY bigger than mine!
Notched Pickaxe
Legacy of the Dragonborn gives the Notched Pickaxe a bit of a facelift! I like the fancier handle.
The Only Person Not Impressed By My Absorbing a Dragon Soul
In the middle of the citizens of Riften gawking at my having taken out another dragon, Dravin finds the time to be salty about his bow being stolen. Fortunately for him, I'd already found it for him!
Broken Spellcaster Trap
This spellcaster trap on the steps up to Lost Tongue Overlook usually has a soul gem in it. This time, not so much! So I got a free pass from being blasted on my way up. Also: in the distance, down to the right, you can see the Dev Aveza at Riften! Cool!
Latoria's Gift
Got back to the Explorers Society Guildhall and was greeted by Latoria, with a gift! This named ring! What a nice Latoria!
Cranky Stormcloak Prisoner
This Stormcloak prisoner was just wandering around Castle Dour's dungeon when I went down there to run the quest for Dead Man's Dread. He was extra surly when I declined to free him, too! Sorry, pal, I'm an Imperial Legate and pretty damn sure I'd need Tullius' direct leave to free you.
Shrine of Sheogorath
Ah, here's the shrine to good ol' Uncle Sheo, added in by Wintersun! This is on the beach of the Sea of Ghosts, northwest of Solitude. Note the cheese, as is CRUCIAL for a proper shrine to Sheogorath.
A Fine Young Cannibal
Found this guy lurking around a dead High Elf, just west of Sheogorath's shrine! He freaked out and ran as soon as he saw me.
Cyrus' Sabre
But apparently NOT the Cyrus' Sabre I need to satisfy a quest for Legacy of the Dragonborn? Apparently I'm still going to find another one? Sure why not, if I can have a bunch of special weapons, Cyrus the hero of old surely can too.
Nope, Sorry Arkay, Still on Team Julianos
Though if I hadn't already joined Team Julianos, I'd be thinking about Arkay. Since he is the Imperial version of Tu'whacca. And I feel like Kendeshel would be sympathetic to that.
Windcaller Pass Excavation Camp 1
The Explorers Society gathers for an excavation at Windcaller Pass! With a very nice, very large camp for the lot of us. We even brought our own anvil!
Windcaller Pass Excavation Camp 2
Second camp shot, featuring Auryen, Rulnik, and Thistle the bun. In the background, way back on the right, you can get a glimpse of Dragonsreach.
Windcaller Pass Excavation Camp 3
Third general camp shot.
Eyha the Spider
First of the big and cranky named monsters I had to fight in Windcaller Pass. This spider was a Web Mother similar to the one in Cronvangr Cave!
Breaking Through the Blockage
Madras and Kyre, working together to help get us through another of the blockages we had to clear to fully excavate the cavern system.
Hurraka the Troll
A larger than average troll, who even had a name! And who was an appropriately tougher fight than the average troll, too.
Emblem of Windcaller
There were a few of these all over Windcaller Pass, emblems similar to the ones on the 7,000 steps leading up to High Hrothgar. Appropriate for a place that also apparently had some history involving Jurgen Windcaller.
Dragon Sighting
Made it out into the open central area of Windcaller Pass, where I'd been warned that not one but two dragons were present. Here's my first glimpse of one of them.
Inactive Word Wall
It was very strange to come up to a Word Wall and not have it fire off a Word of a Shout for me. Apparently this did actually work in earlier versions of the mod, according to the Legacy wiki.
Jade Dragon Claw
Not really surprised at all to find that Legacy added in some more dragon claws to find! And this one, being made of jade, is quite pretty.
Auryen Tells Me About the Ice Shards 1
As a player I kind of side-eye the concept of "eternium" here, but rolling with it, because sure why not. Kendeshel, however, I think must be going "wait, so are there manifestations of fire and storm magicka"?
Auryen Tells Me About the Ice Shards 2
Okay so my boss who's several hundred years older than me and renowned in our field of course knows all about the super-rare eternium? Yeah, that tracks, actually!
Result of Dragons Vs. Dragonborn in Windcaller's Retreat
That dragon skeleton kept flopping around a lot every time I cut through there for the rest of this quest, too!
Ooh Look A Shiny Windcaller Artifact
Because if we're excavating a place named after Jurgen Windcaller, stands to reason we'd find some of his stuff, right?
Ooh Look Another Shiny Windcaller Artifact
Fuck yeah! The Relic Hunter is very pleased with her find!
