Ald'Ruhn Day 1

Gah, sorry for the lack of updates, I play a hell of a lot faster than I update this. I'm about 5 days behind, and I just got back from a short vacation yesterday. A quick note: Naming these by towns was very stupid of me. Now I travel between so many different towns that each post would be incredibly short and contain almost nothing. However, I set up this post and the next post by the "town days" I originally was using, but these are the last two updates that will use this system. Back to blogging.

As I disembarked from the Silt Strider I got my first view of Ald'Ruhn. A very brown town, and not very welcoming. The buildings looked strangely organic, like they were the husks of creatures long dead. It's a very unique town, even if a bit unsettling. I'll be coming here a lot though, so it'll grow on me. My first stop were the two guard towers near the entrance of town. Why? To steal a bunch of armor and sell it for a lot of money of course! So I went about grabbing all the armor and weapons within the two guard towers and sold them to the Fighter's Guild armorer as well as the local armorer. Overall I got a nice amount for all the stolen equipment, and I'll be using similar tactics in other places as it's pretty much the easiest way to accumulate cash in Vvardenfell.

My next stop was the Fighter's Guild where a learned something a tad bit more unsettling than the town itself. Apparently they had allied themselves with the Camma Tong, which is an enemy of the Thieves Guild. Due to this alliance the Fighter's Guild was doing things that it normally would not be doing, and as the guildmaster here tells me it isn't good news for the guild overall. Sadly, he doesn't give me any missions to fulfill so I'll have to wait until the next town for that.

Aftering learning this about the Fighter's Guild I run across the street to the Mages Guild where they do offer quests. I spoke with Edwinna, the local guildmaster and the first quest she gave me was to find a rare tome entitled "The Chronicles of Nchuleft". I took the silt strider back to Balmora to visit the book store and lo and behold she had a copy. I picked it up and handed it to Edwinna for... nothing. Great. The next quest was to pick up a potion from Skink from the Sadrith Mora Mages Guild. I teleported there from the guild guide, nabbed the potion, and talked with Edwinna again. She then gave me an exclusive shadow potion.

The next quest she asked me to perform had me heading to the Vivec chapter of the Mages Guild for a book from a fellow member. I teleported once more and headed to find Sirlonwe's room. I headed into her closet and opened up the chest with a lockpick and got the book Edwinna wanted. I teleported back and received nothing for my trouble. The next quest saw me off to Gnaar Mok, I took the Silt Strider there and headed to Huleen's Hut on the outskirts of town. It was all but abandoned save for a Scamp. Luckily being a Barbarian by nature I crushed the little devil and found Huleen's helped locked in the cellar. He said he wanted to prove his worth, but then the Scamp just starting destroying everything and that he didn't want to be a Mage of any sort anymore. Poor him. I left and headed back to the Silt Strider, but I found someone who wanted me to take them to a place called Koal Cave Near Gnisis. I accepted and that is where this blog entry ends. Poor you.
