In Which Faanshi Becomes Thane of the Rift
Pretty much what this one says on the tin: hurray! I got the thaneship of the Rift! And Honeyside, and Iona as my latest housecarl.

In Which Ysani Becomes Guildmaster of the Thieves Guild
Critical Thieves Guild activity in this session! First and foremost: got officially proclaimed Guildmaster. But I also formalized getting the Khajiit to work with the Guild, and launched my campaign to get the rest of the Stones of Barenziah!
Meanwhile, did a lot of building at Heljarchen Hall, and got my Smithing up to 100 and unlocked Dragon smithing!

In Which Ysani Discovers the Guildmaster’s Treachery
Main feature of this session was running Snow Veil Sanctum, a critical part of the Thieves Guild’s main plot! But I also did some side questing, and discovered to my surprise that apparently it’s possible to get Shavari—the Thalmor agent you fight during the main quest—to send hired thugs after you even before you meet her.

In Which Ysani Does Assorted Side Quests
In this session I took a break from the main Thieves Guild plots and did a bunch of side quests instead. Mostly because I wanted to build up a gold balance, so I could get in some training, work on improving Iona’s gear, and get more building and crafting materials.
We’ll return to the Thieves Guild action shortly!

In Which Ysani Seeks the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller and Becomes Thane of Falkreath
This was a nicely action-packed session, seeing the clearing of Treva’s Watch and the payment of the bounty for the bandit chief there, as well as venturing into Ustengrav in search of the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller. Plus, I have now fully furnished Breezehome, and become thane in Falkreath.
And I didn’t actively plan to initiate the Thieves Guild plotline this session, but it kinda worked out that way!

In Which Delga Forges the Aetherial Crown and Joins the Dawnguard
Pretty plot-heavy session here, since I resolved Arniel’s side quest as well as the Lost to the Ages quest, and began play on Dawnguard!
-
In Which Delga Joins the College of Winterhold
Lots of action in this session, with multiple dragons, fulfilling a bandit bounty, and last but most assuredly not least, getting the mage college plotline underway!

In Which Delga Regains the Rift for the Empire
I’m posting this on Sunday, but this is actually for the play session I did on Friday night. I didn’t play last night, because I was trying to charge through fixing all of my screenshot galleries so I could resume adding galleries to new posts.
And this one is another step forward in the Imperial side of the civil war plotline, wherein I help the Empire regain the Rift.

In Which Delga Goes on a Bear Hunt and Assists a Daedra’s Dog
I came into this session mostly thinking that I’d work on getting Temba Wide-Arm her bear skins, and also doing that dragon bounty in the Rift.
The way it worked out, though, I also got a boatload of quests queued up in Riften, since being there to collect the bounty meant I was able to go talk to all the Riften NPCs while they were still actually alive!
And then I went to go do the Daedra’s Best Friend quest since I had the pointer for that in Falkreath. Very busy session all around!

In Which Merawen Slays the World-Eater in Sovngarde
As I pretty much expected, this session officially finished off Merawen’s run! Did the final big events of the main Skyrim plotline, starting from trapping Odahviing in Dragonsreach and taking it all the way through defeating Alduin for good in Sovngarde!
This is also Merawen’s last official session, and her second to last post. The final post will be a “thoughts on her run” kind of post, similar to the one I did for Alarrah.
