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.

In Which Gyllerah Quests All Over Coldharbour
Time for Gyllerah catchup! A bunch of Coldharbour-based adventuring in this one, as well as the aftermath of breaking Gyllerah’s armory station builds again, as I lamented before. And I ran into two notable recurring NPCs, the dremora Lyranth, and the hapless servant Stibbons.
Plus, now that I have an alt, it’s amusing to think about a narrative explanation for why they’re sharing the same house but never seeing each other!

In Which Gyllerah Saves the King of Daggerfall
A lot of festival-related activity in these sessions, as most of this play was during the Jester’s Festival. But it also saw the beginning of the Anniversary Event for 2023 as well!
Also, I’ve started making progress with Master Writs, and practicing learning how to use a Restoration Staff, with an eventual goal of being a better healer/support type person for group scenarios.
Last but not least, stumbled into a plot that let me save Casimir, the King of Daggerfall, from assassins! And all because of a dog named Giblets.

In Which Gyllerah Fights the Maormer in Greenshade
I seem to be following into a cadence of a Gyllerah post every week or so. This is because I usually do actual RP with Gyllerah on the weekends, and everything else in the days between!
And this time, I got in some delve action in Blackwood, but also some advancement of the Aldmeri Dominion plot in Greenshade. And I’m about to clear cp160!

In Which Gyllerah Investigates a Dwemer Ruin and Defuses a Rebellion
Two main points of action in this post: moving the Fighters Guild plot along by heading into a Dwemer ruin in the company of Sees-All-Colors, and then helping the Vinedusk Rangers defuse the politically volatile situation with the Blacksap Rebellion.

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 Resumes the Hunt for Time Breaches
Multi-session post covering the last stretch of my holidays, before needing to return to work tomorrow! Which will impact my play patterns again.
Main action in these sessions: final activity for the New Life Festival; trying and failing to finish the Bloody Reunion quest; trying and failing to proceed through Tower Full of Trouble; and doing some Psijic Order time breach sealing.

In Which Gyllerah Helps an Oracle and a Vampire Hunter
And now, time to get caught up on Gyllerah! Paul and I have not been exactly in sync on our playing schedules lately, so nothing major here in terms of joint plot RP. Instead, a bunch of writ running and survey exploration, and a bit of solo side questing on my part here.
