    Happy birthday dear Tamriel Vault.

     April the 1st is Tamriel Vaults birthday. Its 5 years old….. It really is a standing testament to Paul who first founded it and to everyone who has helped form the blog. From Todd to the humble lurkers who walk in the shadows. Hircine bless you all.

    In respect and honor of this, we at Tamriel Tales will be running a short event.

    Welcome to Tamriel Tales…...

    Bard For The Day….

    Go have a wander throughout Tamriel Vault and pick out anything from the builds in Character Building, art pictures in the Art Group or venture into the depths of Hermaeus Mora and chose Lore. You could also visit the past and delve through Classics.

    The Bloodmoon rises… Run free and seek out these treasures then honor them all by writing poems, lyrics and song about what you have discovered buried deep within Tamriel Vault.

    Oh yes, can't say I am not delighted to see this

    I will take the liberty of kicking this off with a short poem based on a build by Paul England.

    An Ode to The Clever Man

    Where he wanders none can say, advising kings and jarls while on his way,

    Practicing his craft both eldritch and fey, The Clever Man, old and grey.

    His art is subtle, his manner grim, his magic as old as cold Skyrim,

    His greatsword made of hard Stalhrim, a secret forgotten as memories dim.

    Hooded and cloaked he travels on, his deeds unrecorded in Skyrim's song,

    Writing his own fate ere he's gone, the Clever Man is cunning as the day is long.

    A warrior and a powerful Tongue, Kyne's gift to man when the land was young,

    His Voice was as sharp as the sword he swung and from his belt winds were hung.

    Between the worlds the Clever Man flies, seeing through deceit and Daedric lies,

    On muddy battlefields beneath the skies, at his command the dead arise.

    Like water shrouded with northern mist, in his blade enchantments writhe and twist,

    His enemies fell, their lives dismissed, to Sovngarde and Kyne's final kiss.

    One-Handed skill increased to 100 A poem by Sheogoraths scamp There was once a man with a one handed sword For he was a big nord He found a book about an Argonian Maid Oh how it was his lucky day For when he opened the book He took off his skirt And his One-Handed increased to 100 that day

    This picture caught my attention in Curse's Gallery 

    He has some marvelous pieces, go check them out.

     

    In the dead of night

    I craft my trade.

    Dagger, spoon, fork,

    Even once a spade.

     

    The darkness hides me,

    The shadow’s my cloak.

    Deathly whisper’s

    Of words un-spoke.

     

    A door is barred

    A window locked

    Guards outside

    And the path is blocked

     

    Up on high

    Across the roof

    Loose tiles shifted

    An assassin aloof

     

    The dog is sleeping,

    Drugged meat it’s meal

    As I move to the bedroom

    It’s laying forever now still

     

    A dagger in the darkness

    A candle snuffed out

    One live is taken

    Sounds heard naught

    I hate to say it but the poem does not suit the build in the picture. The Riften's Most Wanted is a common thug, he'd rather slam his axe through your ear or leave you bleeding on the ground while he uses you as a toilet than stab you in the back with a knife.

    No matter's, it's what came to mind when I saw it.

    Need to get around Skyrim more.
