  • Trials of Becoming a Jedi

    I was involved in a discussion elsewhere on the interwebs about a perceived problem with the Star Wars setting; the Force and its depiction, specifically. We were presented with this statement(emphasis added): The Force and the Universe is more complex than Dark and Light. These are terms used by si...

  • Desert Thirst Ch.12

    It was several moments before he realized how tightly he was holding the dagger of the dead Khajiit. Here it was at last, a weapon that no one would take from him, and now there was no one to fight. He looked down at the subtle blade as if to ask it what good it could do him. He tensed briefly, thin...
  • Those Consumed by Order

    The frozen earth beside Magda's head exploded as the mace planted itself where she had been only a moment before. Shards of ice and stray sparks of shock magic bit at her cheek, and she kept rolling down the hill, squeezing her eyes closed. A grunt of strain from above told her that her assailant wa...

  • Character Build: The Phantom Rider

    Build Theme The Phantom Rider was once a Hold Guard, who sacrificed his soul to Clavicus Vile for the power to stop his village from being overrun. Arkay, taking pity on the noble guard for having such a selfless desire intervened to keep his soul out of the Daedra's hands, making him immortal. Now...
  • Character Build: The Transfuser

    Build Theme Once a high standing bard, the Thalmor tried to put her away because of her outspoken condemnation of their methods, and her rallying voice. They set her up to be captured with Ulfric Stormcloak, knowing that no one would doubt her involvement with the rebel faction. But she escaped the...
  • How the Civil War Ended

    How the Civil War Ended   Taken from the journal of Ralof of Riverwood   By all accounts it started in Riverwood. Thinking back, I'm glad I left words of love with Gerdur and Hod before leaving to rejoin the Stormcloaks. Frodnar...he's still so confused. Then again, we all are.  ...

  • Desert Thirst Ch.11

    A Dominion soldier would just make the kill. They'd run the man through, or make him dance with shock magic until his pores smoked. They were brutally efficient. Not the Alik'r. The sands, dry and hot, unending in every direction, they take their time. Drag it out. Let him hold on to hope, and fight...

  • Forgotten Soul

    The quiet was a trap, he was sure of it. The other immortal must be on to him. He couldn't remember the last time there had been such profound silence and, starved as he was, Shodgin would not survive their first encounter. But what if? What if the other had gone? The Orc sniffed the air. There had ...

  • Desert Thirst Ch.10

    The first days of the trek passed almost too quickly to be difficult. The Dominion had given chase, but Cyrus and his men knew that the elves would only risk venturing so far into the desert. In another circumstance it might have been the perfect time for an ambush, having strung the elves out acros...

  • 7,000 Steps

    My first assignment for my British Literary History class this semester was to write a poem in the style of the Anglo-Saxons, so I decided to make a nod to the Nords.  I took a few small liberties for drama and brevity's sake, since I don't expect the professor or the class to recognize the source m...

    Destiny Thief a Cautionary Tale "What is it?" Rang the deep voice in the darkness. "He has gone too far, Preceptor. The Thieves Guild may be fully restored within a matter of days." The darkness growled in answer. "Shall we send a warning, master? Perhaps scroll back his life a few months?" "No. The...

  • Desert Thirst Ch.9

    Morning broke with screams and shouting. It was the noise of his tent being ripped open that actually stirred Kotara from his dreams of war to the reality just outside. A shadow fell across him, brandishing a bloody sword. Instinct took over, and Kotara's hand grabbed for a weapon. Feeling a wooden ...

  • Desert Thirst Ch.8

    Alazir's eyes flicked open, and he inhaled sharply through the nose, taking the cool night air of the desert. He lay still, staring at the ceiling of the tent, letting his mind catch up with reality. Before he could dwell too much on the dreams, he heard voices and muffled footfalls out in the camp....

  • Desert Thirst Ch.7

    The fine rain of ash had been falling for hours when Alazir woke up. He came to slowly, his sight little more than a red-orange blur mixed with dark smears. He tried to move before his vision cleared, but found that his legs were pinned. The dull throb of pain in his back, legs and head began to gro...

  • Desert Thirst Ch.6

    Straightening up and rolling his shoulders to relieve the growing ache, Alazir wiped the sweat from his brow with a rag tied around his wrist. Heaving a sigh and glancing briefly at Hegathe on the horizon, he stooped again and heaved the sack of grain back onto his shoulder before continuing towards...

  • Desert Thirst Ch.5

    Despite returning to the camp only to be tied in his tent once more, Alazir was in high spirits. "Risscan, wasn't it?" He asked as the warrior who was securing the fresh ropes worked, the same who had come to get him with Kotara. "Yes," Risscan answered in a carefree tone; the victory had the entire...
  • Desert Thirst Ch.4

    There was a reason Alazir hadn't been included in the battle plan. He was, essentially, a distraction, meant to draw as much attention as possible from the elves. Other than that, he was inconsequential to the Redguard strategy. Even so, Alazir knew what they would do. The elven company outnumbered ...

  • Desert Thirst Ch.3

    The only movement in the tent for those two hours was that of Alazir's eyes tracking the sun as it it filtered through the tent wall. His attention was finally drawn by the two silhouettes that detached from the others in the camp and approached his tent. He straightened up against the pole at his b...

  • Desert Thirst Ch.2

    Starting from his sleep with a tapping against his boot, Alazir looked up to see Kotara standing over him, holding a wooden plate. The light from behind him was still dim, but brighter. "You waited til dawn to wake me?" Kotara crouched down beside him, a smug smile on his face. "You appeared so rest...

  • Desert Thirst Ch.1

    "Be still, Alazir. No amount of struggling will loosen those bonds," came a smooth voice from outside the tent, where a silhouette was faintly visible against the light of the moons, "Cyrus will release you during the engagement tomorrow." On the bare ground in the center of the otherwise empty ten...
