The roads roared to life as a convoy of four pierced through the quiet and the smoke. The Commandos and the single M9 Army truck cruised with notable speed. Time was of the essence and the longer they dallied, the longer poison ch...

I was going to update some fics but my SSD took a shit on itself. My windows got corrupted somehow and I was forced to wipe the slate clean and start over again. Worry not though as I will return to regular update schedule immediately.

Julius awoke slowly, the outline of someone hovering over him dominated his vision. Confusion was in him at first but then, his mind flooded to him exactly what was going on. His instincts kicked him to fight but the rattling of c...

They weren't blind to what was happening.
A gathering army was not easy to hide and Nords themselves weren't even making it hidden, as if they were taunting them. As soon as the declaration reached their ears, agents were se...

The birds were the sign they were coming. Carrion birds in the sky; cawing, croaking, and awaiting the feast of flesh from both men and beast. The army marching through the valley paths of the Reach stretched like a dark murderous...
2024-05-05 13:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostHeya guys, just a little heads up and apologies for the silence. It's finals season for me over here so I have to study. I swear regular updates will return as soon as they are over! Thank you for your patience.

In the movies and shows, assembling an army involves the titular character standing gravelly over their subjects and declaring for banners to be called and then, things would happen. Such a state of affairs were not so simple in practic...

There were moments in time where men ought to decide for themselves regardless of what the world demands of them. This was not out of arrogance for the ones who decide know that if they do nothing then fate marches on and bring ru...
2024-04-14 23:53:30 +0000 UTC View PostHello, guys. There won’t be an update for a few days because I’m going through a fever and a bad cough respectively. My immune system is once more as strong as a carrot. I promise i will get back to working as soon as I feel better.

It was not so late that the streets had become deserted. The inns, the drinking houses, raucous music and song poured out from windows and cracks. After a hard days work, it was clear where the local Nords spent the last hours of ...

A dinner and a show. That was the best way Irileth could describe how events were playing. She was sure that somewhere in the future, a enterprising Bard would go ahead and record the event.
For his troubles, Hoag forbid Ulfric t...

The dinner was a tame event, Irileth found, as the Jarl and his guests walked onto the Great Hall of the Palace. There was not much pageantry to speak of, no flowing banners and bards annoying the guests with their music and song. As wa...

Their father retreated into his room to rest. As his door closed behind them, Ulfric and Freyja could only watch the old wood oak door with thin lips. Their Housecarls followed them quietly. The elder Stormcloak turned towards his...

They still had time left before they could eat in earnest. This grace period had Irileth unfortunately listening to Balgruuf rant and rave. The guest room they found themselves in was generously decorated and spacious, a testament to th...

"I see..." Jarl Hoag muttered. His face showed no external reaction other than quiet acceptance. It made discerning his mood difficult. The reactions of Hrolfdir and Igmund were more pronounced however.
"An Imperial Prince is com...

Freyja Stormcloak hopped off the keel of her ship, the Foehammer, with particular flair. The second child of Hoag had plenty of reason to be happy. She had after all successfully managed to convince the East Empire Company to purchase s...
Black stone, dark wood, and living tradition. There was no better way to describe Windhelm but as the beating cultural heart of Skyrim. If the capital Solitude represented its Imperial present then Windhelm was its far-reaching past. Its walls...

"He has a strong face," Irileth commented, the clip-clopping of horses mixing with boot-steps against the snow crusted road. Balgruuf turned to glance at who Irileth was looking at and appraised the man, Ulfric. The man that would have ...

The arrival of the Whiterun men was unexpected but it was not unwelcome. With the thundering of the cavalry, they rushed into the melee and the Dremora found out what it meant to be on the receiving end of a cavalryman's lance. The battl...

"You have one chance to surrender, whoresons," cried out Galmar Stone-Fist, battle-axe hefted on his shoulder as he glanced up at the battlements of Fort Amol. Around him, men in blue gambeson and ringed helmets waited with bated breath...

There was much ground for them to cover. Balgruuf wished to get to the Jarl of Markarth before the Jarl of Windhelm did for in his words, "It will create a devastating and catastrophic course of events that will screw us all." ...

Jarl Heorot's morning could never have been better. His Hold was good and prosperous, the roads were relatively safe and secure, his family was whole again with his boys finally back after five years of war and Skyrim was out of the chao...

The return to Dragonsreach was done without particular fanfare. The high of their Jarling returning had now settled onto a certain familiarity. There was due respect of course, the salutes and the parting of ways to let him and his part...

It didn't really take too long to find out where the Draugr came from. The undead were not subtle in their movements and Irileth spotted their trail as easily as she could breath. Crushed roots and branches, deep boot spoors on the eart...

Harald had reared his horse up by a fallen tree when he heard a twig snap. His sword was drawn immediately as his ears registered it, reflexes of war still fresh in his body. Then, that battle-cry of the ages, a timeless shout that once...

Floki awoke with a yawn, the warmth of the fireplace keeping the frigid cold of his homeland from freezing him to death. The returned Veteran felt as if he had slept the best goddamn sleep in his entire life. This time, he was home with...

"You have a delightful family, my lord," Irileth quipped.
"Mhm," was Balgruuf's tasteful reply, his face covered by a pillow. Gone was his armor and dignity, now clad in a tasteful plain robe and body smelling off soaps and...

They returned like heroes of old, fresh from conquest.
The banners of the Stallion flew proudly, the citizens of Whiterun out in full cheer as the caravan rolled in. At its head, Balgruuf preened and waved as all articles of joy we...

It was all coming back to Roy. Memories long hidden now brought out. He was younger then, and idealistic. With the certainty of youth, he donned a uniform and did what was asked of him. It was a patriotic thing to do after all, going thr...
