  • The Old Orc - Chapter 8

    The road to Windhelm was quite a distance on my old legs. I had a number of encounters, each of which made the journey much more interesting. First, I met a cat named M'aiq, and he proceeded to share with me his "pearls of wisdom." What an interesting man. Later on, I encountered a reckless young Or...

  • The Old Orc - Chapter 7

    I left Fort Greymoor with a pile of dead bandits in my wake. I had to return to Whiterun for dinner, and sleep, but my travels took much longer than I anticipated. Evidently, I lack the restraint a wise Orsimer like my self should have, and I chased after every deer or elk I encountered. Of course, ...

  • The Old Orc - Chapter 6

    Fought through Fort Greymoor today. My good death was so close. I have cleared the fort of its nasty inhabitants, and have lived to tell the story. Some of the bandits used magic to try to kill me. Such trickery is looked down upon by Malacath.

  • The Old Orc - Chapter 5

    The Silent Moons camp was another easy time. Every bandit died. My steel sword was stained with the ghost of the men it has killed. The bandit leader is dead, and now I will collect my bounty from Proventus Avenicci. One hundred more septims to my name. What does it matter. There are no accounts of ...
  • The Old Orc - Chapter 4

    I visited Whiterun for the first time today. It is a charming city, but it's a bit big for my taste. I prefer seclusion in the wilderness. I ate dinner at the bannered mare. I hadn't eaten all day and I was starving by the time I got there. A rabbit haunch and a bottle of ale really hit the spot. Si...
  • The Old Orc - Chapter 3

    I kept my promise. I found 3 Imperials on the side of the road today taking one of Ulfric's men to prison. I swore after Helgen that I would kill the Imperials. And besides, it is just another opportunity for a good death. The Imperials fought well, but not well enough. the ordeal cost me 40 septims...
  • The Old Orc - Chapter 2

    Embershard Mine was a breeze for an old orc as experienced as myself. Those bandits didn't stand a chance. I fought well and I seemed to loosen up my sword arm. I must continue my search for a good death. Those men couldn't give it to me. I think my next move will be a journey to Windhelm to join Ul...
  • The Old Orc - Chapter 1

    In this blog, I will be playing an old orc searching for an honorable death, and I will play DiD.  The ride into Helgen was quite uneventful except for the looming notion that my head may not be a part of my body for much longer. This wouldn't be the death that Malacath would want. I couldn't go at ...
