In Which Shenner Returns to the Mainland
Another double session post, since the first half of this was too short to really count for a post on its own. Basically this was final post-Miraak action on Solstheim before Shenner officially returned to the Skyrim mainland.

In Which Faanshi Weds a Sword-Maiden
Yep, even though right now my Steam Deck is the cool new kid on my block, still haven’t forgotten I have a Khajiit in play on the Switch! So let’s go back and see what Faanshi’s up to, shall we?
Ah yes: marrying her housecarl from Solitude, Jordis the Sword-Maiden, finally! <3 <3 And oh yes: adopted a sister for Sofie, Runa Fair-Shield! With this session, as well, I officially sent Faanshi to Solstheim to get the Dragonborn plotline underway for her. Chosen follower for this expedition: Serana!

In Which Faanshi Destroys the Dark Brotherhood
Take that, assassins!
And oh yes, I also got the final Stone of Barenziah, which meant I was able to go after the crown as well, and set it up with the Thieves Guild. As any self-respecting Guildmaster ought to do! Also, dropped off books with Urag at the college and Jazbay grapes with Avrusa Sarethi, and took out the dragon at Autumnwatch Tower.

In Which Faanshi Hunts More Stones and Viinturuth
This session was all about fetching the last few Stones of Barenziah, hence running Sunderstone Gorge, Rannveig’s Fast, and Yngvild. With a side helping of taking out the dragon Viinturuth!

In Which Faanshi Steals a Horse and More Stones of Barenziah
The Steam Deck may be the cool new kid in my slowly growing assortment of “things I can game on”, but I’ve still got a Nintendo Switch! And last night I played more of Faanshi on it, just to move her along a little more. Main action: running the Promises to Keep plot, and helping Louis Letrush steal the horse Frost from Black-Briar Lodge; and stealing a couple more Stones of Barenziah.

In Which Faanshi Seeks Paragon Treasure and Stones of Barenziah
Extremely low-key session, where most of the action was me hitting the Paragon Portal in the Forgotten Vale, and bopping around to various places to check on how many more Stones of Barenziah I need. I figured this is good interim activity to take care of while I work on getting Shenner through Solstheim, before I take Faanshi over there!

In Which Faanshi Finds the Location of Auriel’s Bow and a Lot of Schematics
I had thought I was going to proceed onward to Forgotten Vale in this session, once I got the location of Auriel’s Bow in Ancestor Glade. I was mistaken! Instead, I ran the rest of Sorine’s “find me a schematic” quests.

In Which Shenner Quests Through Raldbthar and Alftand
As expected, I picked up where I left off after the last Shenner session, re-doing the beginning of Raldbthar, and proceeding on to finding the Aetherium Forge. And since I had time to do so, I proceeded to go pester Septimus Signus about his thoughts on where I could find an Elder Scroll. Spoiler alert: Alftand!

In Which Shenner Becomes Thane of the Reach
Two major highlights of this session: Shenner achieved the thaneship of the Reach, and then busted up a Daedric cult in Dawnstar!
-
In Which Faanshi Joins the Dawnguard
Got tired of running side quests, so moved the main plot along a little more for Faanshi, which resulted in her first meeting with Hermaeus Mora. And then I went to go investigate a mysterious cavern for the Dawnguard!
