In Which Veghra Rescues Lyris from Coldharbour
Finally, a second post for my Orc character Veghra in ESO! This is a super-short one, since this post is mostly just me derping around with Veghra running writs, hitting dolmens and geysers, running surveys, and generally exploring. I wouldn’t normally have spent an entire post on this, but I’ll go ahead and do it for a short one. And there was at least a little bit of main quest action here, too.

In Which Marwyth Finishes Off February
This is a very light action post given that it covers the entire latter half of February for Marwyth on ESO. But that span of time was very light for action for her, and there were only a few actual play sessions that included more than just running writs and such. So I’m covering the rest of February all in one post.

In Which Marwyth Saves Sotha Sil and Clockwork City
More catchup for Marwyth’s playthrough on ESO, from mid-January. Main action here: finishing off the Clockwork City plotline! That was fun!

In Which Marwyth Quests through Eastmarch and Aids a Guild Compatriot
First catchup post for Marwyth’s action on ESO, dating from the first week in January. Main action here: continuing the Mages Guild plotline, and also the Ebonheart Pact plotline in Eastmarch; helping Walks-Softly of the Thieves Guild with an issue from his past; and trying out my first Thieves Guild heist.

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 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 Quests All Over Coldharbour
Time for Gyllerah catchup! A bunch of Coldharbour-based adventuring in this one, as well as the aftermath of breaking Gyllerah’s armory station builds again, as I lamented before. And I ran into two notable recurring NPCs, the dremora Lyranth, and the hapless servant Stibbons.
Plus, now that I have an alt, it’s amusing to think about a narrative explanation for why they’re sharing the same house but never seeing each other!

In Which Gyllerah Saves the King of Daggerfall
A lot of festival-related activity in these sessions, as most of this play was during the Jester’s Festival. But it also saw the beginning of the Anniversary Event for 2023 as well!
Also, I’ve started making progress with Master Writs, and practicing learning how to use a Restoration Staff, with an eventual goal of being a better healer/support type person for group scenarios.
Last but not least, stumbled into a plot that let me save Casimir, the King of Daggerfall, from assassins! And all because of a dog named Giblets.

In Which Gyllerah Investigates a Time Loop and a Daedra Invasion
My notes for this session are sparser than the actual level of play would have warranted–but see previous posts’ commentary re: not as much time to write notes when I’m playing ESO! In this session, at any rate, Paul and I officially ran the first round of the “blow up the geysers” quest. Then we ran a time loop plot at Ebon Stadmont, and last but not least, arrived at the College of Sapiarchs only to find it under Daedra attack. All in all, eventful session!
-
In Which Gyllerah Investigates Abyssal Geysers
This post is a bit more focused than other recent ones I’ve done for ESO, because this only covers one session! But it was a good action-heavy one, in which Paul and I ran the side plot on Summerset involving the Abyssal Geysers, and getting official quest pointers to go and raid them and get credit for that.
