In Which Faanshi Becomes Thane of the Pale
This is a double session post, to cover everything done to let Faanshi become thane of the Pale: running the Waking Nightmare plot, killing the obligatory giant, running a couple of favor quests to get the full set for becoming thane, and buying the land for Heljarchen Hall. Also, I got a couple of favor quests at the mage college resolved, and began the search for the Elder Scroll by talking to Septimus at his outpost.

In Which Faanshi Interrupts a Summoning and Acquires Proudspire Manor
Kind of a low key session this time, because I only played for a couple of hours and didn’t have time to do much. Main highlights: finishing running Wolfskull Cave and interrupting the summoning of Potema, and then acquiring Proudspire Manor in Solitude.

In Which Shenner Visits Alduin’s Wall
This was another session in which I did way more than I could easily fit in the post’s title! Lots of fishing challenges pursued here, but also going to Karthspire for Alduin’s Wall and the resolution of the Crypt of the Heart quest, so now I have Ebony Spell Knight armor! Plus, I may not be playing an official thief with this character–but I did move the Gray Cowl plot a little further along, and amused myself with breaking into Erikur’s house in Solitude. And more even beyond that, but those are the main highlights!
Alduin’s Wall, though, gets the title lead since it’s main plot stuff.

In Which Faanshi Becomes Thane of Hjaalmarch and Gets the Wabbajack
Lower-tier action in this session, involving running the Laid to Rest plot in order to acquire the thaneship in Hjaalmarch, and then heading over to Solitude to begin working on the thaneship of Haafingar.

In Which Shenner Acquires Bloodthirst and Becomes Thane of the Pale
Combo of new stuff and old stuff in this one! Action that does not, despite the title of this post, include becoming a vampire. Deets behind the fold!

In Which Shenner Quests Through the Ratway
Main theme of the action in this session: adventures in the Ratway in Riften! Not only did I rescue Esbern from the Ratway, I also acquired Shadowfoot Sanctum. And Dawnfang and Duskfang. And a pet skeever. And I recovered a lost bow!
Also, made some progress on the fishing plots, and did more building at Windstad.

In Which Shenner Acquires Mehrunes’ Razor
Very eventful session! Mostly all about acquiring the pieces of Mehrunes’ Razor and then assembling it, but also with a side helping of the beginning of the Crypt of the Heart quest, which will lead me to get Ebony Spell Knight armor!
Also, I unlocked Daedric and Dragon Smithing! \0/

In Which Shenner Becomes Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold
This session saw the running of Labyrinthian to get the Staff of Magnus, and the immediate followup of the finale at the college, where yet again I have become Arch-Mage!
I also retrieved the Headman’s Cleaver from the bandits at Lost Knife Hideout, and got in the usual assortment of dragon fighting and crafting. Featuring unlocking Madness smithing finally, which let me start making weapons with the stuff!

In Which Shenner Seeks the Staff of Magnus at Mzulft
A very magic-heavy session, as I moved the mage college plot further along–and also continued to put mage follower Rulnik Wind-Strider through his paces! Ran the Mzulft ruin, and got the information on where the Staff of Magnus is. And oh shit, the Arch-Mage is dead!

In Which Shenner Takes on a Mage Follower
The two main items of action in this session were both along the theme of bandit hunting! But the real item of interest: trying out Rulnik Wind-Strider as a follower. So far, all sides point to this guy packing a powerful magical punch!
