In Which Marwyth Reconnects a Dunmer With His Ancestors
And, finally, swinging back around to catch up with Marwyth on ESO. I’m instituting the same rule with Marwyth that I am with Gyllerah: that it doesn’t count as a play session if I don’t actually get the character out adventuring. Logging in to get daily rewards and just do writs doesn’t count. This is to just make it easier for me to track my notes and do posts!
So with that in mind, this is a catchup post for the small number of times I’ve actually adventured with Marwyth since late August.

In Which Marwyth Quests Across Vvardenfell
Way behind on my ESO posts again, but honestly, haven’t much felt the groove of playing ESO lately. I am feeling kind of fatigued by the sheer size of the world, and am taking a bit of a break to recharge. I’ll be back soon enough, I’m sure!
Meanwhile, here’s some catchup on what’s going on with Marwyth. Main action here: running the Scarlet Judge plot on Vvardenfell, which I liked quite a bit; running the side plot with the ebony mine in Balmora, which I did not enjoy at at all; and continuing with Vvardenfell’s main quest line.

In Which Gyllerah Solves a Staff Problem for the Psijic Order
Back to Gyllerah on ESO! Pretty short post, with the primary action here being finishing off the Psijic Order plotline, finally.

In Which Gyllerah Quests in Deshaan, and Shows Her Zeal for Zenithar
This post covers a large span of time, nearly a month, but less actual game activity than you’d think–just because a lot of what I did on ESO with Gyllerah over the last many weeks has just been crafting and writs and such, with only sporadic actual RP. Main things of interest in this post: running trials with the Guild, moving things along in Deshaan a bit, moving the Psijic Order plotline further along, and the Zeal of Zenithar event.

In Which Marwyth Defeats a Plague-Bringer, and Also Skin-Stealers
Covering a large span of days in this ESO post. But it’s fewer days played than you’d expect, since I didn’t play Marwyth every single day for most of July.
Main action in this post: finishing up the zone plot in Deshaan, and defeating Magistrix Vox; nudging the main quest a little further along; and beginning action in Shadowfen in the next phase of the Ebonheart Pact storyline.

In Which Gyllerah Accidentally Unleashes Dragons, But Also Saves Stonefalls
This post for Gyllerah in ESO covers a full half a month in time, but a whole lot of that was general writs and crafting action–so less to go over here than you’d think. Main actual RP action here was finishing off the Demon Weapon plot with Abnur Tharn and Khamira; running some side plot action in Stonefalls (some of which was fun, some of which decidedly not); and finishing up the main Ebonheart Pact plot in Stonefalls as well.

In Which Marwyth Saves Sai Sahan and Selfora
Another drop of sessions involving my ESO alt Marwyth! Main action featured in this post: saving Sai Sahan as part of the main plot; infilitrating No Shira Citadel as part of the Thieves Guild plot; saving the town of Selfora as part of the main quest in Deshaan; and helping the Argonians of Silent Mire fight off attacking slaver pirates.

In Which Gyllerah Saves the Oracles of Azura and Hunts a Demon Weapon
Swinging back around to getting caught up on Gyllerah’s action in ESO. This set of sessions is mostly all about running prologue plots–specifically, finishing up the Azura oracles plot that acts as the prologue to Morrowind, and the Demon Weapon plot that acts as the prologue to Northern Elsweyr.

In Which Marwyth Saves Stonefalls and Fights a Plague in Deshaan
I’m seriously behind on my ESO playthrough posts. But before I get into this one, I want to call out the recent news about a Zenimax employee, Leona Faren, having been basically railroaded into resigning after months of abuse by a transphobic manager. I am seriously pissed off about this, as I wrote in the other post.
For the time being, I am not bailing on the Elder Scrolls games I already own; they’re too important to me as a means of maintaining my mental well-being until my household can finally abandon our COVID precautions. We are not to that point yet, and we don’t know when we will be.
But I will not be giving ESO any further money, and I will also not be buying Starfield. And I’ll be monitoring the situation to see how it proceeds. Also, I will totally understand if anybody who’s been following this blog’s posts until now is even more pissed off at Zenimax than I am right now and needs to stand down from following my playthroughs.
Right? Right. So let’s talk about what Marwyth did from 6/13 to 6/19.

In Which Gyllerah Aids the Ebonheart Pact, Hermaeus Mora, and Oracles of Azura
And now, back to Gyllerah! This is a week’s worth of sessions from mid-June, in which the main action was my moving the Ebonheart Pact further along for Gyllerah’s run through Cadwell’s Silver; running the prologue quest for Necrom; and also beginning the prologue quest for Morrowind, which got me some hefty action in Stormhaven.
