Diary Entry: The Date Is Scribbled OutWoah, I had this weird dream just before I arrived in Morrowind, this morning. There was some creepy woman talking to me and ash and stuff like that. Truly eldritch.Then I was suddenly awoken by this person called Jiub. He hadn't talked to me the entire trip, and just as we were arriving in Vvardenfell he asked for my name. I had to tell him, I don't think he was going to let me out of the cabin, otherwise.
The guard
luckily came. I was too dizzy to defend myself, if he hadn't and Jiub had pressed his advances. But, I don't know if it was the ship or the guard or the fact I had a headache the size of a bull netch, but that guard just looked strange.
I
finally got off the shi
tp, and made my way to what appeared to be the Ex
ercise Office. Before I got there, though, ANOTHER guy stopped me and asked me what race I was. I thought it was meant to be taken as an insult or a joke, because I'm 100% dark elf - waist down and waist up. But, no, it turned out that the guard was just a bit slow.
Poor guy. It's not his fault he was born an Imperial. He really missed out on the sulphuric air that eventually flows over Morrowind and promotes healthy brain growth.By then, I finally managed to clear my head a bit and look over the
scenic town of Seyda Neen. It wasn't that bad looking, although they had a giant tick thing that put a real fear of this place in me.
I
eventually got into the damn Cen
sorshipcise office only to be asked more questions about my heritage and what sort of a profession I leant myself to. I told him I knew the honourable arts of both combat and magic ( us Dunmer learn both from birth, even if it's just mildly ) and he informed me I'm a Spellsword.
Who'd've thunk it?Of course, I subsequently betrayed everything I'd said and filched everything I could from the place. It turns out it's true. Imperial Law IS ridiculously lax towards immigrants.In the process of looting the place Whilst I was receiving the brilliant gifts of the mighty Imperial Nation
( I make myself laugh sometimes ), I found an awful magical ring. Really, this thing had barely any enchantments on it at all. I pocketed it, too. You never know when it might come in useful.
Some guy told me some stuff about having to deliver a package for him, but I ignored that and asked him a bunch of irrelevant questions.
I also pocketed the key he had lying behind him, but that goes without saying. He then shoved me out of the door, informed that stuff might actually happen out there if I stole things and threw the package ( luckily along with instructions ) at my head.
Some simpering bosmer came up to me and asked me if I'd seen his beautiful shiny ring. I'd heard of this stuff before, and I wasn't going to let him through it into any sort of volcano, but then he offered to tell his friend that I'd helped him out - and apparently that guy could help me
fence legitimately sell my
stolen legitimately gained goods. I took him up on this, of course.
I went and
fenced legitimately sold my
stolen entirely legally gained goods. I also bought myself a mismatched set of armour and a not terrible claymore.
I do, however, feel some real shame from doing this. I traded with an ALTMER. Daedra-damned finger waving pansies.At least I look pretty dangerous.
After that, I went and had a look around. I found some luminous rusella or something, which I've heard
gives a real cool trippy glow to skooma if you mix it allows you to find your entirely legal anti-Corprus medicines in the dark if you mix them together. Oh, and I killed a mudcrab. Disgusting creatures. And then I asked a guard about stuff and he tried to force me to join his Imperial Legion or whatever, and that isn't such a bad idea - but it's best to be never too eager.
Also, it felt like I was talking to the back of his head.So, yeah, I went and tried to find out how to get to this Bal
amor
ya place, and it turns out I can either take the path there
which may be filled with lots of stuff to loot and stuff which may have lots of places to procure items of unquestionably legal authenticity or take the Silt Strider up there ( that's what that big weird thing I saw earlier is called, apparently ). Or, you know, I could hang around in Seyda Neen, meddle for a bit and rob wherever this key leads to.
No picture, imagine pretty things in your mind.
So, yep, ladies and gents, pretty much three choices. Meddle in Seyda Neen for a bit and get some gold etc or head to Balmora and do the main quest / guild quests. And we can travel via silt strider or the road. Use your choosing abilities NOW.
