Dragon War Encore & Other Stories

    The World-Eater wakes from the time without time.

    Dragon blood is flowing through the vessels of the north.

    The sleeping shall arise at the World-Eater’s word.

    Open thy enlightened eyes; by mercy’s call go forth;

     

    Renew the Dragon War.

    Encore!

    Once upon a time, the gears of the universe will grind to a halt, and the Wheel will snag on the End.

    This is one of such times.

    Fate swings its lasso and catches a dragon-souled, battle-scarred cripple by the heel, pulling him into Skyrim’s cold arms. The World-Eater licks its lips, famished after hibernation in the currents of time, as it tastes the ripeness in the air. The Aurbis is due for a reset. The Last Dragonborn must put aside his fear of death and face the destiny laid out for him.

    But the World-Eater is cunning, and knows it cannot conquer alone. It takes its time. It relearns Nirn. It breathes new life into the dead. A patchwork of alliances is sewn before the world has time to gird itself. Under a cloak of black wings, the horn of war blasts across Tamriel.

    To save the world, a Dragonborn is not enough.

    Storm will cloak the sky today.
    Night may wish the clouds away,
    But storm will shout and send down rain;
    Send down rain again, again.

    Dark will rise on shadow wing
    And wind will run to war and sing,
    And to fate wield, the storm is fain;
    Storm is fain again, again.

    Blades of power ring the air;
    Beware! Beware!
    Sky and storm the darkness tear,
    So stand your ground and to Gods pray.
    Pray that with dawn comes the day
    When time is healed again, again.

    I wish I could add screenshots, but there are a lack of cripples in Skyrim. And I wish I could commission drawings, but I don't have money (or a credit card, for that matter). Therefore, this is a rather boring table of contents.

    P.S. HELP! How do you keep '3rd person' as one tag but two words?

  • August 17, 2015

    The screenshot doesn't have to be head on. He's missing his right arm, right? Well then, only screenie him from his left side, then it doesn't matter, you can't see the arm. Also, many time, I  just use Skyrim's lovely scenery as screenshots, or a location shot. Very few pictures are actually of the protagonist. 

    As for tags, better wait for a host to come help you there. I just barely figured out how to do mine. I can write in another language, but I'll be damned if I can make tags. LOL

    I also actually don't have a game character of him! XD I once tried to replicate what he looks like in my head, but the character creation was too limiting for me to get his face even remotely right.

    I was considering scenery screenshots. It'd take some work, but I reckon I could pull off some kind of banner. I'll give it a shot!

    And thank you so much for stopping by!

    You play on consol or PC? If PC, then download UNFU.

    Ultimate NPC face unlocker. Gives you way more presets to work with. Or... RaceMenu which lets you have loads of fun for personalization. 

    Albee runs about 5-6 mods to get him looking like how I picture him in the narrative. I'm close, still have issues with the hair, but I don't have a physics mod. LOL

    Looking good so far Unhelpful.

    How about a screen shot to help it along? Now I know about the cripple situation, but what about the landscape of where the story takes place in?

    Thanks for stopping by! Yep I'm planning on getting that screenshot. I didn't have the chance to use my PC yesterday, but I'm going to try right now. 

    Damn it, I have no idea of what to take a screenshot...
