In Which Gyllerah Quests in Deshaan, and Shows Her Zeal for Zenithar
This post covers a large span of time, nearly a month, but less actual game activity than you’d think–just because a lot of what I did on ESO with Gyllerah over the last many weeks has just been crafting and writs and such, with only sporadic actual RP. Main things of interest in this post: running trials with the Guild, moving things along in Deshaan a bit, moving the Psijic Order plotline further along, and the Zeal of Zenithar event.

In Which Marwyth Defeats a Plague-Bringer, and Also Skin-Stealers
Covering a large span of days in this ESO post. But it’s fewer days played than you’d expect, since I didn’t play Marwyth every single day for most of July.
Main action in this post: finishing up the zone plot in Deshaan, and defeating Magistrix Vox; nudging the main quest a little further along; and beginning action in Shadowfen in the next phase of the Ebonheart Pact storyline.

In Which Marwyth Saves Sai Sahan and Selfora
Another drop of sessions involving my ESO alt Marwyth! Main action featured in this post: saving Sai Sahan as part of the main plot; infilitrating No Shira Citadel as part of the Thieves Guild plot; saving the town of Selfora as part of the main quest in Deshaan; and helping the Argonians of Silent Mire fight off attacking slaver pirates.

In Which Gyllerah Saves the Oracles of Azura and Hunts a Demon Weapon
Swinging back around to getting caught up on Gyllerah’s action in ESO. This set of sessions is mostly all about running prologue plots–specifically, finishing up the Azura oracles plot that acts as the prologue to Morrowind, and the Demon Weapon plot that acts as the prologue to Northern Elsweyr.

In Which Marwyth Saves Mournhold and Helps a Dremora
Swinging back now to clear more of my ESO play action out of the backlog. Here’s about a week’s worth of action with Marwyth the thief, featuring helping her fellow thief Quen learn more about her background, fighting the Maulborn in Obsidian Gorge and Mournhold, coming to the attention of Almalexia (yikes), and helping the dremora Lyranth fight against the cultists of the Waking Flame.

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 Defends the Dominion in Grahtwood and Greenshade
Another big crunchy multi-session post, just because I find this easier to write up for Gyllerah. Expect these to continue for the foreseeable future, y’all.
Main action covered in these sessions: advancing the Aldmeri Dominion plot, with some very satisfying sub-plots inside of that quest line. Much love for the best Sheogorath action I’ve experienced in an Elder Scrolls game to date, as well as the plot involving the Wilderking.

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 Meets Another God of the Tribunal
This was a solo run, but which had unexpected drama and plot weight–because I stumbled my way into a plot that involved no less than Almalexia, one of the three Tribunal gods of Morrowind. And in so doing, I accidentally played a piece of the overall zone quest line for Deshaan!
Single session post, because I have a lot to say in this one.
