About this blog

Well, here it is.  The story of the snarky badass reluctant Dragonborn who's lived in Skyrim for fifteen years.

Come along as I feed my most rabid addiction: exploration and adventure.  And, I guess, solving other people's problems in the least heroic ways possible.

 

This is my story.  Destana Stormblade.  Once a prisoner, a slave.  Once a refugee from Hammerfell.  

Now, Queen of Skyrim!  Master thief.  Assassin.  Mage.  Vampire Lord.  Sometimes, sex-object.  Lover of Sanguine, Ulfric Stormcloak and Serana of Volkihar.  Mother of Runa Septim, Damien Guevenne, and Fenrir Stormcloak.  Grandmother to Oddvar, Kintyra and Sinidar.

Entry 44: Are you Finished with Those Errands?

Hey, it’s Destana.  In keeping with my training montage, Solaire and I spent another twelve hours in the Pit, getting to level 20, at which point I figured he probably needed a rest.   “Need a break?  I’m a vampire, so I don’t need to sleep, as long as I have blood potions, and I still have quite a few,” I said (I still accumulated human flesh as a werewolf and then cooked it into Blood Potions when I turned again). “No, in fact, I am undead,” he explained, “My kind do not tire, t

Entry 31: What's the Damage?

It's Destana again.  Since that day, I read a few books on Dragon Breaks.  Many times, it is caused by things related to Lorkhan, like the Numidium.  That might've been it.  But, I believe me killing Alduin was what really caused time to go all wibbly-wobbly.  I was in Sovngarde for about five days.  Five months passed in Skyrim.     "What?? Five months?  How is that possible?" I asked Serana, in shock. "Well," Serana started, still clearly emotional, "Alduin was Akatosh's child. 

Entry 55: Hands off the Locals!

Hey, it's Damien again.  I'm trapped in western and southern High Rock in 3E 405 (mostly my fault, but I had honest intentions).  On the power scale of me being magically castrated by the time travel, I've progressed from kitten to large housecat.  I've mostly spent a handful of days traveling around this cursed land, doing quests for the royals scattered amongst their castles.     Currently in Sentinel, which gave me clear Hammerfell vibes (from what I've read) with the deserts and tr

Entry 24: Stormblade Company Resurgence!

Hey, it's Destana.  I'm headed to Riften to find Malburn.  It's First Seed, 4E 210.  Been a while since I pulled off the Emperor's Assassination, and still no waves in Skyrim, though I imagine the ship made it's trip back by now carrying the body.  Too bad I'm currently infertile as a vampire, because there could be a whole 'lost hidden heir' of the Emperor ala Oblivion Crisis.  But I don't want to go through pregnancy again.  I think I'm done having kids, even if I do get 'cured.'   C

Entry 49: The Septim Stops Here

It's Destana.   Damien was poring over stacks and stacks of notes.     "Did you... go back in the Fort?" Serana asked.   "Yes.  Everything inside is dead.  Some kind of poison.  I tested it, and it wasn't anything from this world.  Different from Solaire's world, or any of the beasts I've seen yet.  I may consult a professional Alchemist to figure this out.  From my testing on Skeevers, proximity makes them hypersexual, contact usually paralyzes them, causes excruci

Entry 54: A Troubled Past

Hello audience.  This is Damien.  In the hopes of thwarting Viranir, I followed her into the past, casting a very complex spell and arriving in Daggerfall in 3E 405.  I decided I would go along with what was in front of me: a mission from Uriel Septim VII to Daggerfall, only to find her in the same predicament I now found myself in, but as a ghost.  I also found as part of my transportation here I've been reduced in power similar to that of a day 1 adventurer.   It makes me wonder who

Entry 51: Taking Back the Past

Hey, it's Destana again.  I was captured for a while (3 months for me, 3 days for everyone else).  We've been fighting an ongoing war with the Thalmor, who seek to conquer Skyrim.  Cyrodiil is in turmoil, and a sizeable portion of the Imperial Legion are taking refuge here, but helping us in the war.  General Sialius is here, helping direct the fight.  We lost Riften, Falkreath, Morthal, Markarth and Helgen (and all associated forts).  But we won at Whiterun with two dragons.  Then we used the e

Entry 84: Old Friends and New

Hey, Destana again.  The dreams are continuing.  Is the mundanity is enough to call them nightmares?  Probably not.  Last time a bunch of mystery fluid and 'life' waters got spilled on a bunch of children.  I informed Runa and Damien.  They weren't sure how to take it.  Both knowing no bad had come from the waters so far, Runa shrugged it off and Damien just said he'd monitor.   Also, the raid on the Dawnguard went well.  Their members are gone or on the run.     So here I am

Entry 87: Intuition, huh?

More youtubes:   Hey, this is one more from your boy, Fenrir.     ...Sorry, I figured all the best quest journals' hosts were saying it, thought I'd give it a try.  It's 216, the 14th of Sun's Height (7th Month). Damien and I are looking for Ancient Dwemer tomes.  Why?  Well, originally I was looking for Dwemer ruins to raid and learn more about their amazing technology and history.  But I'm also now fully invested in finding these philosophy books.  Maybe the real Dwe

Entry 89: Baby's First Adventure

(Not a youtube spoiler)   Hello there.  You probably don't know me.  And infact, you may never get to.  I want to say that I know you, but there are so many out there probably reading this, and those yet to come.  See, my name is Fortuna.  I am known as many things.  Time, it seems, is a shifting river.  I look at most people, especially the personages of great power, like Oddvar and Kintyra.  Sinidar.  They seem to swim with time's current with the ease that comes from being a 'norm

Entry 28: To Rend a Dragon

Hey, it's Destana.  I'm a Volkihar vampire, ex-guildmaster of the thieves' guild.  Future Queen of Skyrim (maybe).  Hero of the Stormcloaks.  Mother to the Listener.  Slayer of Dragons.  Skilled mage and archer.  What else... gods I'm bored.  I feel like a lot of time has passed since I made an entry.  But really that's because I've been sitting here for two days, waiting for Urag the Librarian to actually find all the scattered notes on the Elder Scroll.   "Gods!  What is taking him s

Entry 92: Solstheim in a Handbasket

Hey, it's been a while.  It's me, Destana.  I've been busy in Solstheim.  I don't think I've slept in... well, since I got here.  What day is it?  It's the 17th of Morning Star, and it's been a wild ride.     As you know, I was looking around for clues and found a note in the temple that led me to a small Dwemer ruin to the north.  I arrowed my way through the place and found a man named Kenro with a lot of data about a cult of the Tribunal here in Solstheim.  Not really what I was loo

Entry 80: Climb to Summerset Throne!

Hey, this is Destana.  Much like I've been doing lately, I'm going to handle the narration today even if I'm not present.     After the kids and I finished with our fun in Valenwood, we headed for the fleet. It took us days to find them, and we didn't want to approach Summerset and give away our position or plans so we took it carefully.  Finally Jura used the Imperial missive mages to give us their position.   "The airship's finally here," Jura said. The morning of the

Entry 90: Toddler's Tactics

So here we are.  Treva's Watch.  Today, it's Kintyra.  Thought I'd give Fortuna a rest.  But also, maybe she can fill in some gaps in my knowledge as we go along.  I am literally four years old with the brain and body of a fourteen-year-old.  So by the grace of not being on this planet for very long, a lot of things are new to me.   As we passed near Largashbur, a group of goblins passed us.  Oddvar and I put our hands on our weapons, but Fortuna stopped us. "Look, they're not hos

Entry 43: Sunbro Training Sesh

Hey, it's Destana.  Solaire and I really didn't have a specific goal, I just liked his positive attitude so much I decided a dungeon crawl was in order.  We wandered around just a bit and found a strange door near the waterline just a short hop away from Dragon Bridge, beckoning a downward-spiraling oubliette with increasingly difficult undead to fight and treasures to reap.  I decided I would do some training, and gather armor for the army.     We fought beasts for nearly 24 hours bef

Entry 81: End of Empires

Hey, it's Destana.  It'd been sitting with Ulfric, trying to figure out what the Thalmor did to him.     A missive came to me from Damien.  The boys were in a tight spot with a giant dwemer robo. "Are you needed?" Mynisera asked.     "Seems that way," I replied, charging up my Recall spell, "Thanks for watching him." Gotta love Recall.  Because it is focused to a specific location it takes all the guesswork out of teleportation, and thus, has a pretty muc

Entry 86: Read a Book!

Obligatory Youtube link:   Hey, Fenrir again.  Last time I tackled a new dwemer ruin and started to double down on my search for ancient dwemer lore.  Now that there's not a war to fight I figured it's time to double-down on finding all of Skyrim's ancient mysteries.  Unfortunately for you, that involves reading skimming a lot of books, if I can actually find them.      Last time I'd just enlisted Damien to help my Dwemer book search.  We teleported back to River

Entry 93: No More Tentacles, Please!

Hey, it's Destana.  Last time I dove right in to Solstheim, learning a couple new shouts, fighting a couple types of things I've never seen before.   And now I'm with the Nerevarine and Neloth in Nchardak.      I'm not going to bore you with the details.  It is, after all, a puzzle that involved raising a lowering water levels.  The WORST kind of puzzle imaginable.  I somehow think it could've been a lot worse though, if I didn't know how to swim, or even if I coul

Entry 88: Puzzle Time! C'mon Grab your Friends!

Youtubes:   Hey, this is Fenrir.  I've been on a real Dwemer knowledge kick recently.  Val and I stormed through a recently-uncovered Aetherium mine and I got new armor.    Then I got wind of an ancient dwemer university called Kagrenfahlz, built by Kagrenac's buddy Ludz.  Damien and I have been doggedly searching through ancient tomes, playing fetch for various people, and getting into lots of scrapes along the way.  Speaking of scrapes, I stopped by a town on the way back

Side Post: Pyandonea Uncut

This isn't really a full entry.  I've not really been feeling like writing lately.  Been building up my youtube channel, yes, but I'm also looking for a new job.  Times not great.  I had wanted to do something special for the 1 year anniversary, but I didn't do it, as you can see.   So I've progressed Runa through Pyandonea, Destana through a lot of Solstheim and Damien through just a bit of Summerset.     And I can't really show some of the things they've been getting up to

Entry 91: To Lands Unknown...

Author's Note:  I'm going to summarize the remainder of Fenrir's Kagrenfahlz Journey.  There's not a lot that's relevant to the overall narrative, and also, wouldn't be all that interesting in written form.  If you want to hear the minute details, go watch the videos.  Below is a link to Kagrenfahlz Part 5, where I left off.     Kagrenfahlz Summary:  Damien, Valiana and Fenrir find their way through Kagrenfahlz into an area in the Velothi Mountains called Samaria.  A group of du
