In Which Elessir Destroys the Summerset Shadows
I have a couple more sessions of Elessir’s to get caught up on after this one, which was from the beginning of February. This is a super short post, featuring taking out the Summerset Shadows at Uttering Hills Cave, and taking out Nahagliiv in Rorikstead.

In Which Elessir Defeats Lord Harkon
And now, finally, it’s time to swing back around to Skyrim posts, to get caught up on the playthroughs I still have in progress on that game even if ESO’s mostly eaten my brain this year.
So here’s a post to get caught up with Elessir’s playthrough. Main action here is finishing up the Dawnguard questline with him, with extra side commentary this time just because I’m running the Serana Dialogue Edit mod in this run.

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.

In Which Elessir Investigates Serpent’s Trail and Alftand
More mid-December Skyrim catchup, this time with Elessir’s run. This is a short post, and mostly just features my first taste of the content provided by the Beyond Skyrim: Bruma mod, since I visited Serpent’s Trail on a quest for a Dawnguard schematic.
But I did also move the main plot along, and made it down into Blackreach to find the Elder Scroll there.

In Which Elessir Explores the Soul Cairn
While I’m waiting for the RaceMenu mod to update itself again following the latest Skyrim update, I’m taking the time to get caught up on the backlog of posts. So here’s another Skyrim catchup post from mid-December, this time in Elessir’s playthrough. This is moving the Dawnguard questline along, and in particular, the Soul Cairn!

In Which Elessir Rescues a Vampire and a Moth Priest
Time to check back in with my Elessir playthrough in Skyrim! With this post and its two sessions, I’m finally kicking off Dawnguard with this alt. Read on for the details!

In Which Kendis Heads to Solstheim
Side questing for some of this pair of Kendis sessions, and then heading to Solstheim to start the Dragonborn plot!

In Which Kendis Slays Harkon and Does Side Quests
Main action in this post is finishing up Dawnguard, then also doing a bunch of side questing. And forgetting that if I’m going to do the quests to de-wolfify Vilkas and Farkas in the Companions, and I’m on a non-modded build, I have to do Farkas first. Oops.

In Which Kendis Finds an Elder Scroll, Crimson Nirnroot, and Ancestor Glade
Getting caught up on Kendis! This is a three-session post, predominantly featuring getting the Elder Scroll out of Blackreach (and getting a bunch of crimson nirnroot while down there), and then heading off to Ancestor Glade and Darkfall Cave for Dawnguard action.

In Which Kendis Joins the Dawnguard and Seeks Elder Scrolls
Main action in these sessions: getting started with Dawnguard, and in fact making serious inroads on the plot, getting all the way through running the Soul Cairn and getting Valerica’s Elder Scroll. And in between all of this, I kept bouncing back to Whiterun trying to spawn the Traveler. Which did in fact finally help me solve the problem with Carlotta and Mila being stuck!
Meanwhile, I also picked up the thaneship in Winterhold! For free, pretty much, since I’d already helped enough people and had put the new Jarl into power by way of winning the war.
And last but not least, I got onto the trail of finding the Dragon scroll, needed not only for Dawnguard, but for the main plot as well.
