While it's open to everyone as usual - this one's for you Slorm!

So we wait, of course!

I don't want to be a rebel.

Maybe he's just dropping in for a snack.  (Wonder if Psalam is shaking his head yet?)

 

Long past shaking my head. You two can go ahead and answer. I hope everyone understands why I dedicated it to Slorm.

 

BTW, while I've got your attention, do you know anything about this mod. I was talking with Donttouchmethere and he and I have the same experience with NPC replacers - that one mod makes some nice and some ugly and another does nearly the exact opposite. This looks like it could be a way to (practically) make your own replacer mod.

Never heard of the place. ?

 

Heh!  Well, the inscription reads

Bromjunaar is the second oldest city in Skyrim after Saarthal, both having been founded sometime during the Dragon Age in the late Merethic.  While Saarthal was sacked by the elves the fate of Bromjunaar is less clear although it seems likely it was destroyed/abandoned during/after the Dragon Wars as it was the capital at that time and center of the dragon cult.  Whatever its fate it had been largely abandoned by the 3rd century 1st Era when Shalidor built his maze within the ruins of Bromjunaar after founding Winterhold and the college there.  The maze was used by Shalidor to test potential archmages, though this practice is no longer common and considered brutal and barbaric by "modern" standards.  The maze as seen in Skyrim seems to lack much of the riddles and tests described in Shalidor's time, and being a linear maze with few riddles is relatively easy to solve.

 

As the former capital of the Dragon Cult it was the seat of what may have been their "High King" who would wear the mask of Khonahrik which could only be obtained by the holders of the other eight masks.  This somewhat parallels the practice in Skyrim of the Moot (Jarls) meeting to elect a High King from among their own and the Nord Moot may be a cultural remnant left over from the Dragon Cult.  It is the only location in Skyrim to have two Dragon Priest Masks.

 

(Note: There is some evidence the city was still inhabited in the 1st Era, but that it was mostly in ruins and only a small settlement existed there.  At that time it is listed as part of Whiterun Hold in the book Holdings of Jarl Gjalund which can be found on Farengar's desk and read early in the game.  The book describes it as still inhabited but much diminished.  However, it may be worth noting that the claims of that book have been disputed particularly its claims about Rorikstead which has further fueled the various conspiracies about Rorikstead true history.)

 

The inscription is reminiscent of Percy Shelley's famous poem Ozymandius

Though it seems Bromjunaar has faired a bit better, it may no longer be an inhabited city but its walls do still stand and mighty things lurk below.

But of course. :classic_happy:

One of them rare Skyrim glitches. :classic_wink:

It's not a glitch. It is a rare blessing from Sanguine (or is it Sheogorath?) It allows more than just the feet to be muffled so that copulation can be done more privately even in more "public" areas. You must be in great favor with the Daedra!

 

So am I supposed to guess which "bloody" mine entrance this is?

Excuse me Ms. Assault rifle dual wielder but wouldn't that be a "shot" at it. It would take a Forsworn sword wielder to take a "stab" at it.

 

LOL I stand corrected, quite right too :D

 

As to the piccy, I'll take a shot :D it looks like Rebels Cairn near Sundered Towers and Red Eagles Redoubt

Looks like Fort Kastav. It's a nightmare to travel that road at low level :)

 

Quite right on both accounts. It was also a nightmare getting up into the hills "behind" it to get that shot.

While I think you have the right idea that is NOT the name for that bleak old ruin.

Going by memory:

you are at Shriekwind Bastion, looking west towards that Falkreath Watchtower .

It should be Cracked Tusk Keep in the background on the left ... ?

Random luck, since I'm travelling again and  I'm just peeking in a bit with my trusty little notebook. My Skyrim  is 3h away. I'm deep in Cyrodiil, so to speak.

Looks like Pinemoon Cave. Nice angle on the shot though - I admit you had me going.
