Legends of the Skaal: ToC

    Legends of the Skaal will chronicle the lives of two warrior brothers as fate guides them on harrowing journeys to test the limits of their bonds and the strength of their character. Dragons have returned to the lands of their ancestors, threatening fire and ruin to all; ancient powers stir in the shadows, growing stronger with each passing moment. To mark the turning wheels of fate in the Fourth Era of Man and Mer, a Frost Moon hangs high above Tamriel, shedding light on the unseen. The first book will see the brothers marching under the banner of civil war, and will cover the beginning of the main questline.

    Frost Moon is broken down into three parts: Unblooded, Sign of the Bear and Sorrow of the Yew.

    Ages 16+ for violence, gore and other mature themes.

    When the frost moon high has risen,
    The bear from slumber shall wake
    Winged death will shun its prison
    and men will yield to the snake.

    The immortal soul shall sunder
    The songs of yore resung
    High the mountain shall thunder
    and ring with ancient tongue.

    Dovahkiin.

    Frost Moon and the rest of the trilogy will not always be lore-friendly, in fact it will probably deviate from the lore often as the story unfolds. I will be adding my own ideas to the Skaal and to certain families within Skyrim. So no need to post comments to correct me, I've probably written it that way on purpose.   Big thanks to Lissette, TheUnhelpful, Sotek and everyone else who supported me back in November when this story was first getting off the ground.

    Me too! Just a couple days more, and I'll be able to start posting. :P Maybe someday I'll catch up to you, Okan and Sotek! Though I think my Skaal Brothers trilogy is going to be a bit shorter than everyone else's.

    That's short doesn't matter to me. 

    I still need to grind out part iv. Nap time helped a little.

    Naps definitely help! Eat a lot over the holidays? My Mom keeps baking cranberry and oatmeal cookies, so I've had to take a few recovery naps after stuffing my face.

    Yay! Face-stuffing.

    Don't matter if it's short or long. What maters is that you enjoy writing it but you know that already. Looking forwards to your work as always.

    Thank you, as always, for your encouragement! I love how supportive everyone is here. I'm eager to finally get my own little patch of land in the Tamriel Tales group, currently fine-tuning the Prologue for it's big reveal on the 31st!

    *jumps up and down in anticipation*

    There's plenty of real estate here and I think the big push for the majority of us at Tamriel Tales is to support each other in our writing.
