I'm sitting on the edge of a river, half naked, eating raw salmon meat. The sun feels so good on my skin, which is cold from the water. The fish tastes amazing as well, although I suspect that's due to not having eaten anything in nearly a day. Drinking...
I'm telling you, when that last arrow killed him (via the killcam animation no less), I got shivers. It was such a perfectly epic fight from start to finish. I nearly died several times just from the shades gang rushing me. And the necro hit me with one blizzard spell before I managed to...
AUTHOR'S NOTE: for the record, the way this fight went and the way it ended .. literally using my last arrow to survive .... THIS is why I love Skyrim and why I play the way I do .... I just can't describe how insanely epic this showdown was. Hopefully the way I wrote it conveys that just a wee...

I'm so exhausted I can barely write these words, but I can't contain my excitement either. I have to write this story, if I never write another word again ... I have to write this story ...
Against my better judgement I decided to focus my efforts on the...

After writing the previous words, I sent my next arrow high over the head of one of the undead. Luckily I was able to recover it after dispatching of the shade, but my supply of arrows still dropped by four. I have thirty-three arrows total currently.
What...
~ 28th of Morning Star, 4E 228 ~
My concern is starting to grow. I'm currently down to twenty-three arrows, plus five steel arrows and nine orcish arrows that I've collected. I've used all but one of my spider poisons, and half of my marksman potions. I've also used a health potion and just...

I'm deep inside Meridia's temple, with less than a day's ration of food left. The evil in this place is like nothing I've experienced before. There is just a presence that is unnerving, that makes me want to abandon this place and leave Meridia to find another...

Meridia's voice has thundered in my ears again. I located her statue and as I approached she spoke to me, chastising men for forsaking her temple to evil. I circled the statue carefully, staying hidden in the trees, but I saw nothing. So I walked the steps...

I had an amazing view of the setting sun last night, and of the rising sun this morning. Such a beautiful place to set camp. I can see the great city of Solitude in the distance, and the Dragonbridge is visible through the trees below me. I'm getting close...

My plan to follow the river was thwarted this morning when I came across a trio of sabre cats. At first I just spotted the one, lounging down near the river. I ran into him as I was avoiding some ruins higher up the mountainside. I turned toward the ruins to...

I've found a nice spot in the cliffs to rest for the night. Earlier today I crossed the plains and followed the river downstream to where the great falls are. I had to weave my way between a giant camp and some bandits, and shortly after I was approached by a...

Today is the day. I'm heading to Meridia's temple. I can't begin to describe the nerves I feel. I'm truly afraid. But I need to be confident and not give into the fear. I need to keep my wits intact and do what needs to be done. I need to become my father a bit...
~ 24th of Morning Star, 4E 228 ~
A night has passed and I still don't feel confident in a decision, but I have made one. I'm going to go to Meridia's temple and do what must be done. The task is weighing on my conscious. Ultimately I must believe that Meridia chose me for a reason. I can...
~ 23rd of Morning Star, 4E 228 ~
I feel so lost. I have no one to talk to, to help me figure out what I should do. I feel a certain duty to complete the task Meridia has given me, but at the same time I'm afraid. I'm afraid of how far from home I'll have to go. I'm afraid of what I'll find at...

I didn't have any luck in Falkreath. It was strange being back there, and without my parents. I was nervous being around so many people. I spoke to several people in the graveyard first, since I don't use the roads to travel and came across the mountain ...
~ 22nd of Morning Star, 4E 228 ~
I've decided to travel to Falkreath, and see if someone there will take this beacon back to the temple and serve the voice on my behalf. I can't do this. I'm not a great warrior like my father. I hunt deer in the forests and catch fish in the streams. I...

My nerves are on edge tonight. After a successful trip back to the swamps, and a full day of mixing today, I believe I'm ready to make the journey to Meridia's temple in the morning. I don't feel ready. I'm scared to death actually. The swamps are as far...
~ 17th of Morning Star, 4E 228 ~
As much as I don't want to, I need to head back to the swamps. I've spent the past several days making preparations for the journey to Meridia's temple ... crafting potions, making leather strips, mining iron ore, forging arrows. But the effectiveness of the...

It feels so good to be home again. Strangely enough, I feel connected to my parents when I'm at our cabin, even though they're gone. Every day I wonder if my father is still alive, if he'll return to our cabin one morning. I think that's one reason I don't...

When the night came I lost my courage. The forest was so dark I couldn't really even see the camp from my position. I began to have doubts on launching my attack during the night, and began to reconsider a daylight approach.
It was a fairly clear night, with...
