In Which Delga Goes Wandering
This was a short-ish session, being a Sunday night run, so I didn’t have much time to explore anywhere in depth. So my main intention was to get the third aetherium shard, and other than that? Just wander around and see what adventure I could come across!

In Which Delga Finds the Treasure in Arkngthamz
This session saw the conclusion of the trek through Arkngthamz, and the purchase of land for Heljarchen Hall! At which Delga established fellow Companion Ria as her steward.

In Which Merawen Acquires the Spellbreaker Shield
This session was mostly all about running the quest called The Only Cure, which is the Daedric quest for the Spellbreaker shield, the reward given you by Peryite. More on this, and other action, behind the fold!

In Which Merawen Recovers a Ghost’s Sword and Goes to Volunruud
Another “general adventuring” kind of session, with the two main points being finishing the quest to get the sword for the ghost in the Old Hroldan Inn, and then going to Volunruud and getting what I’m pretty sure is my last available Shout word off a Word Wall.

In Which Merawen Rescues a Future Sybil and Hunts Yet More Vampires
I had not planned to visit the Temple of Dibella during this run, or to do their Heart of Dibella quest, but events conspired otherwise! Because one of the side quests for the Dawnguard pointed me at one of the temple priestesses as a lead on finding a vampire–and I couldn’t get at her without doing the Heart of Dibella quest. But it was a new thing, so that was fun!
Also, there was more vampire hunting. And severe chastising of bandits who attacked me at Lakeview.
And, sadly, the loss of the blacksmith Ghorza in Markarth, killed by the Traveler NPC vampire. RIP Ghorza! 😢

In Which the Dragonborn Hunts for Dragon Priests
This session was all about trying to find the remaining ones of the original set of dragon priest masks in the game, since I had five and was still lacking three. (I know there are more on Solstheim, but for purposes of this hunt, I was focusing just on the original game’s eight.)
At the same time, I also wanted more Shout words. Fortunately, I could handle both of these searches at once!

In Which the Dragonborn Foils a Conspiracy in Markarth
I decided to go ahead and do the Forsworn Conspiracy plot, as well as its immediate followup, No One Escapes Cidhna Mine.
Plus, I wanted to give Markarth a bit of a fighting chance and see whether it presented me any reasons to like it. Spoiler alert: mostly, not so much.

In Which the Dragonborn Adopts a Child
So a big part of this session involved getting both Ulfric Stormcloak and General Tullius to agree to show up for the Graybeards’ peace conference. But I also did a bunch of side things, and I think most importantly for Alarrah’s general long-term life plans, I finally adopted Lucia, the orphan who’s been begging in Whiterun!
Highlights and details all behind the fold!
