In Which Shenner Quests through Mzinchaleft and Arkngthamz
Turned out I had a few more side quests to do still, before sending Shenner off to Solstheim! This is a double session post, covering sessions in which I hit Mzinchaleft to recover Mjoll the Lioness’ sword Grimsever, and then hit Arkngthamz to get Katria’s plot underway. And there was fishing! SO MUCH FISHING.

In Which Shenner Acquires the Gauldur Amulet and the Gray Cowl
Lower-key session for Shenner this time, which is the followup I wanted after the adventure of opening an Oblivion Gate and going to the Deadlands! I did the final parts of the Gauldur Amulet quest, and also finished off the quest to acquire the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal.

In Which Faanshi Forges the Gauldur Amulet and Aetherial Crown
A return to my Khajiit thief, in which I clear out a couple of loose ends before I have Faanshi run off to join the Dawnguard!

In Which Ysani Robs a Museum, Translates a Journal, and Investigates Arkngthamz
More Thieves Guild action in this one—but not quite as much as I wanted, because I realized that I’m now poised to get Chillrend. And I want the level 46+ version of it, which means I have a few more levels to get through before I’m ready! So I also scampered off to fire up the Lost to the Ages quest!

In Which Ysani Works Her Way Towards Markarth
I was in the mood to go overland from Riften to Markarth, and knock down several side quests on the way to getting to Calcelmo and doing the next phase of the Thieves Guild plot. This let me finish off not one, not two, but three different side quests! So a productive and action-filled little session.

In Which Delga Quests for the Mage College, and Also Profit
The main overall goal of this session was basically “get enough money to buy decorations for Hjerim in Windhelm”. With that in mind, I did a whole bunch of side questing, mostly stuff for the mage college, but also finishing off the Forbidden Legend quest.

In Which Delga Becomes Thane of the Pale and Investigates Arkngthamz
Back to more typical Skyrim quest territory in this session! Main highlights: doing the Waking Nightmare quest in Dawnstar, becoming thane for the new Jarl Brina Merilis, and commencing the Lost to the Ages quest.

In Which Merawen Gains Solitude for the Guild and Saves Esbern from the Thalmor
This session’s primary highlights were opening up Solitude for the Thieves Guild, after running the Dainty Sload plot—and then saving Esbern from the Thalmor, as I finally returned to the main plot and moved that along some more. I’m about to hit level 46, so it’s a good time to go get Dragonbane at Alduin’s Wall!
