What amuses us and other ideas
She called herself Leramil the Wise. A warning sign for sure. Few who call themselves Wise, are. She professed to be a follower of Hermaeus Mora, one of the least-violent of the Daedric Princes.
The libraries of Hermaeus Mora are legendary, the stuff of tangible speculation among any practitioner. Books from aeons past, scrolls and missives unseen by mortal eyes. The literal stuff of legends.
And all you have to do is curry favor with a Daedric Prince.
I was on my best behavior.
Leave a CommentI was too many days into Vvardenfell, learning a new kind of loathing for the Great Houses, collectively learning who I could trust and finding myself devoid of rational allies.
It was one thing to owe a favor and help the Morag Tong. Being their drinking buddy for when life got tough wasn’t my idea. So I gave one mug of mead and then quietly departed for the road, Wendel in tow. The first boat was just down the path and I had a feeling I’d be off this cursed island before long.
I’d barely made it into town when a merchant had the look of trouble and my curious nature got the better of me. Seems his business partner had quietly closed the doors on the local mine without giving much detail. I recommended sending in guards but some half-arguments suggested it would be more prudent if “I” took a look. In exchange for some coin, of course. I should have kept walking..
The monsters should have been my first warning to leave. The sick alchemist should have been the second. Sadly I’m a glutton for my own curiosity and it took a Daedric shrine to Clavicus Vile to settle my curiosity.
I wonder at times if I’ll ever learn to stop poking my nose into obscure corners. Wendel usually just snickers when I do, he and I both know that my curiosity will be the end of me.
