Bad Ends - The Abandoned Village
We join Aerina in an abandoned village in the border region between Skyrim and High Rock, . A mercenary in Falkreath had spun a tempting tale—gold buried beneath the rotting floorboards of the old inn. But as the wind moaned through broken shutters, the promise of treasure felt hollow.
Too quiet. No scuttling rats, no cawing crows—just the uneasy groan of sagging beams in this lawless, forgotten town.
Then—a footstep. Not hers.
