by Chris J.XI. Consequences Oh, Talos and all the divines! What has happened here? Jorrvaskr has been attacked and Kodlak is dead! Aela and Torvar were still standing battle-ready on the mead hall steps with Silver Hand corpses at their feet. Where have you been!? Vilkas spat the words at me with a mixtu... -
Raldana Star-Gazer: A Personal Journal (IX. More Questions Than Answers)
by Chris J.IX. More Questions Than Answers Aela met me at Jorrvaskr's door, eager to see the stratagems I'd stolen for her. Have you been bringing the battle to the Silver Hand? I wish I could be there with you, she said, as she flipped through the pages. We've got them on the run! Yes, they do seem to know ... -
Raldana Star-Gazer: A Personal Journal (VIII. Something Rotten)
by Chris J.VIII. Something Rotten I was on my way to Riften, the closest place to Faldur’s Tooth with a friendly bed. I needed to do some planning on just how I was going to steal the Silver Hand stratagems Aela had sent me to fetch. And a good meal wouldn't hurt either. I knew nothing about Riften, and I wa... -
Raldana Star-Gazer: A Personal Journal (VII. New Blood)
by Chris J.VII. New Blood Gallows Rock lay just ahead. It was an ancient, single-tower fortress with tumbled ramparts and little left to defend. I thought I could smell the presence of living bodies within, just out of sight beyond the unguarded stone portal. That sensation was new, and unsettling. It's th... -

Raldana Star-Gazer: A Personal Journal (V. Secrets)
by Chris J.Dustman’s Cairn was northeast of Whiterun about an hour's travel by foot. I really must think about purchasing a horse when I can afford one. I decided to leave Jorrvaskr for the cairn in the pre-dawn hours. Better to go at night, I thought—should be mostly only animal predators out on the plain...comments -
Raldana Star-Gazer: A Personal Journal (IV. Companions)
by Chris J.IV. Companions I took the north road out of Riverwood toward Whiterun, still unsure of what I might do when I reached this larger town. Could I just lose myself in its bustle, or would I find myself there? Whatever its problems, this is beautiful country. The river I'd been following since Helgen ... -
Raldana Star-Gazer: A Personal Journal (III. Friends)
by Chris J.III. Friends Ralof's sister Gerdur, it turned out, ran the local sawmill in Riverwood. She and her husband Hod could barely believe our story, but they quickly ushered us into the safety of their home. The conversation flowed with unfamiliar places and names: the Imperial ambush outside Darkwater ... -
Raldana Star-Gazer: A Personal Journal (II. Allies)
by Chris J.#long II. Allies In the midst of the chaos, an Imperial soldier yelled for me to follow him if I wanted to live. Stumbling through the melee of confusion with hands still tied, I struggled to do as he said. But in the rubble and smoke, I soon lost sight of him. I ran past one burning building afte... -
