    Summary

    After the supposed death of her brother, Lysana turns into a delinquent, seeking nothing but survival and knowledge. Five years later, at the age of fifteen, she is destined to die due to a lapse in her judgment. That is, until an ancient legend saves her from the chopping block.

    Follow the Dovahkiin's journey from nimble thief to the savior of Tamriel, and all the little bits inbetween.

    (Having prior ES knowledge is useful because I don't explain lore very often (I just use a lot of niche bits,) but you can go into this blind and be okay I think)

    Summary

    Two hundred years ago, the world made sense. Two hundred years ago, the Empire of Tamriel ruled a golden nation from Morrowind to Hammerfell where the sun never set. Two hundred years ago, the Oblivion Crisis changed Tamriel forever. Now, the age of a golden nation is all but a tarnished memory. Now, the scars of the Invasion mar the land. Now, Daedra and all other manner of supernatural terrors ravage the land. Many cower before them, many more avert their eyes but not the faithful of Stendarr, for they remained Vigilant.

    Senior-Vigilant Falrielle, a veteran of many years, patrols the frozen northlands of Skyrim, hunting multifarious monsters and other vile creatures that ravage the land and harm the innocents. Just a Formality is an anthology of 7 of her many adventures as she prepares for her greatest mission yet.

    The story updates every Tuesday. The Appendix updates every Thursday.

    Summary

    A girl from our world poofs into Skyrim right before the plot starts. And she's far from being a hero. What Gisela lacks in, well, everything, she makes up in dark humor and meme references that will be wasted on her clueless audience. Of course, her unusual situation attracts the attention of the Jarl of Markarth, Igmund. He grants his court wizard Calcelmo the chance to study her situation as the condition for her stay in Understone Keep. And her minder/babysitter is none other than the Thalmor Justiciar Ondolemar, who has an agenda of his own.

    A mostly-realistic and highly self-indulgent look at what would happen if a chronically ill, ADHD, disabled, and impudent lady is tossed into a high fantasy world with nothing but the clothes on her back.

    Summary

    --

    Sarel is not like other children.

    First of all, he was adopted. Second, he is blind.

    Third, (and while some may argue most importantly, though Sarel disagrees), he is Falmer.

    --

    "Found" by an Altmer researcher and scholar with the College of Winterhold, Sarel's existence has remained a relative secret, hidden behind the stone walls of the college. All of this changes on his eleventh birthday, when a mysterious stranger appears at the college doors asking after him.

    Summary

    Taking the Eye of Magnus out of Saarthal was a mistake; they all knew that now. Alas, hindsight would hardly help now that this powerful artifact threatened to rip apart the College, the nearby town of Winterhold, or at worst, the entire mortal realm... all of that due to one man's insane lust for power. Having murdered Archmage Aren and taken control of the Eye, the Thalmor agent Ancano was now close to gaining the power to rival the gods themselves, to remake the world in his image... or tear it down completely.
    However, the College mages were far from finished; bearing the Staff of Magnus, they storm the College and confront Ancano, intent on stopping him once and for all. It all goes to hell when the mad Elf draws too much power from the Eye and ends up destabilizing it...

    And that is how one particular member of the faculty finds herself in a world so similar to hers, yet so different at the same time. With no way to get back home, she has no choice but to keep moving and make her way in this foreign realm.

    Summary

    A young woman of modern-day Earth finds herself in the world of The Elder Scrolls, some time in the Forth Era. Torn between fascination and fear, she must find a means to live in this mysterious and savage world, and come to grips with the destiny which has been thrust upon her. She struggles often, unable to fit in anywhere, or even to find anything to live for, as every slice of peace or happiness she carves out for herself becomes obliterated by outside forces. When she stares down the headsman’s axe, only half of her rues the fact that she did not see much of this new world before her seemingly imminent doom.

    The capricious Gods, however, have other plans for her in mind. Resentful of those Gods and their fickle intervention, this woman does what she can to evade those plans, but she cannot outrun them forever.

    Even so, even when she realizes the impact she could have on this world and the lives which hang in the balance, will she be able to summon the courage to fulfill that destiny? Or will the darkness in her heart overtake her, and doom Nirn along with it?

    Summary

    Let it fall to you, then.

     

    Alduin's last words were as sharp as his teeth, and he spoke them with a cruel grin. A second later he was gone, and his soul was absorbed into her own.

    The three heroes of old had in that moment looked on her with horror, but only Gormlaith had spoken aloud.

    "That wasn't supposed to happen."

    ---------------------------------------------

    The Dragonborn, post-defeating Alduin, found herself adrift when the Divines, even Akatosh and Kynareth whom she had done so much for, went silent. She crafted a life on Solstheim, as far away as possible from the civil war. Neither side was willing (or able) to act on the true enemy, so she put a mental pin in the subject and hoped she could keep her distance from the trouble.

    (A shame, since she so loved playing the hero)

    Something else lurks besides the Aldmeri Dominion, something older, darker, and more dangerous still. Something she will need help to confront.

    But first, she finds the mask.

    Summary

    Many have theorized over the years what truly happened to the Dwarves and where they disappeared too. Many have speculated that they simply died, sent to oblivion, went to a completely different dimension. All are good and reasonable theories, but In this write I will be giving my own take on what happened and add some new lore to the already existing story.

    Alla’s story moves onwards and Fate has demands that she must rise to meet, regardless of what she wants.

    Summary

    Kat thought she would die in Sheogorath's Pit for the terrible crimes she committed. And for twenty years, she rot there until one day they took her from the Imperial City's prison, first by carriage, and then by boat. To the east, to Morrowind. There she is given a task by the Emperor himself. If she does not complete it, the Imperials will send her back the Pit.

    Alone in a foreign world, she teams up with a half-blind mer, Jiub, who is too friendly and talks...a lot. Yet every night mad dreams consume her—and she soon realizes that they aren't due to her violent past in the Pit.

    The Sixth House has risen and Lord Dagoth is its glory.

    Summary

    It had been fifteen years, almost to the day, since they’d first met— since Aerik had strolled confidently into the Retching Netch; since Teldryn had taken on his final patron— and what better way to celebrate than returning to the place where it had all begun?

    Ulfric Stormcloak is certain of only a few things about the Dragonborn, and after she returns from Sovngarde claiming to be a god that number dwindles to nearly nothing. But the Thalmor have begun to strengthen their grip on Skyrim, and the Dragonborn's ambitions will either take her to the heights she swears or to the Planes of Oblivion.

    And she intends on keeping him by her side, no matter the cost.
