In Which Marwyth Saves Mournhold and Helps a Dremora
Swinging back now to clear more of my ESO play action out of the backlog. Here’s about a week’s worth of action with Marwyth the thief, featuring helping her fellow thief Quen learn more about her background, fighting the Maulborn in Obsidian Gorge and Mournhold, coming to the attention of Almalexia (yikes), and helping the dremora Lyranth fight against the cultists of the Waking Flame.

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 Vanquishes Molag Bal
By definition every single one of my posts on this blog is full of spoilers, but this one more so than most, since it features the end of the main plot of ESO. If you’re an ESO player, and you don’t want to know specifics of how the main plot ends, you might hold this post until later.
But if you don’t mind that part, then read on! Because yeah, this post’s main action is Gyllerah finishing up the game’s main quest in Coldharbour, and defeating Molag Bal.

In Which Gyllerah Fights the Servant of Naemon in Greenshade
This is a multi-day session post again, but only a few of these days saw actual RP action. Main highlights: moving the Aldmeri Dominion plot further along, and learning more about what exactly the Shade of Naemon is trying to do; identifying a thief in Marbruk; running my first Master Writ; and running Orcrest in Northern Elsweyr. Delightful, delightful Orcrest. Yuk.

In Which Gyllerah Defends the Dominion in Grahtwood and Greenshade
Another big crunchy multi-session post, just because I find this easier to write up for Gyllerah. Expect these to continue for the foreseeable future, y’all.
Main action covered in these sessions: advancing the Aldmeri Dominion plot, with some very satisfying sub-plots inside of that quest line. Much love for the best Sheogorath action I’ve experienced in an Elder Scrolls game to date, as well as the plot involving the Wilderking.

In Which Gyllerah Unveils the Veiled Queen
Main action here: proceeding on the Aldmeri Dominion quest line, which let me get in some intrigue and infiltration! And finding out the identity of the Veiled Queen! And somebody is super cranky that I broke into her organization’s secret hideout, too. Muahaha.

In Which Gyllerah Meets Another God of the Tribunal
This was a solo run, but which had unexpected drama and plot weight–because I stumbled my way into a plot that involved no less than Almalexia, one of the three Tribunal gods of Morrowind. And in so doing, I accidentally played a piece of the overall zone quest line for Deshaan!
Single session post, because I have a lot to say in this one.
