My quest to find the scholars of the Antiquarian Circle led me to a new to me area: Western Skyrim. For some reason, I’ve never gotten far in the actual Skyrim game, but I spent quite a bit of time last night in the ESO version. Though I passed the initial tests of the Circle with flying colors, I need considerable practice in Scrying and Digging.

I spent time helping a Dunmer in a Peculiar Bottle try to regain his own form. There are more steps, but at least he’s in his own form to complete the Maelmoth Mysterium.

Next The Aspiring Scholar in which a young woman needs help getting rubbings from Dragon mounds.

I spent a considerable amount of time in Kilkreath Temple because I went in without having the quest for the dungeon, because, hey, the entrance was right there, and the quest giver was a distance away in a cave I hadn’t found. The second time through was a breeze.

Rounding off the evening, I found Lyris Titanborn in a seedy tavern, and began an investigation into smugglers. I have not done the Main Quest with this character. She’s not a soulless vestige who rescued Lyris. They’re just new partners.

I was immersed in the story and looking all around the landscape for places to explore, so I forgot to take many screenshots. More next time.
