Ok this is a thread to tell people what I have done so far after going to Morrowind's coastal island province. Will probably contain spoilers so read with caution...

So pretty much got the boat over here and some bastard Dark Elf was being a dick straight off. My reaction ignore the fucker and move on.

Once getting away from the dick I moved to search but actually left the town/city. Found some creatures called "Ash Spawn" I have no idea where the fuck they came from but I killed them with a couple of Nordic arrows from my Bow Nordic Flame.

While continue down the road I saw a Captain fighting some of the Ash Spawn so I assisted him and talked to him about what the fuck was going on. Eventually he asked me to look for some clues and it turns out a Imperial Captain who died like 200 years ago was now declaring war upon the city.

So who would have guessed it! I was asked to get kill the captain. I think some Necronmancer or something awakened him. Reason to believe this I found a journal telling me about it.

While in the fort I also found some stuff that had been there for over 200 years! Lots of stuff I wouldn't mind taking and selling. Did also find letters from a soldier which were to be sent back to Tameriel. The guy was happy he died fighting for the Empire and defending it from its enemies. happened while the Red Mountain was erupting.

After killing the Captain he had a weapon which had a 25% chance to do elemental damage of 25. Good thing he didn't touch me as I calmed him down by using Voice of the Emperor and then killing him with Nordic Blade of the Flames. Cannot remember the name of the weapon as I destroyed it so I could have the enchantment available to put on other weapons if I wanted.

While wondering around I have found on Reaver Lords I think three sets of Nordic Armour (One of the best in the game but I don't give two shits already made some before I came to Morrowind and my are super enchanted so I regenrate health and have more health while increasing my Bow and One Handed damage while also carrying more)

But I went into the Raven Rock Mine. While in there found some FUCKING frostbite spiders. Killed the horrid things then found Dragur. (Or how ever those undead fuckers spell their names) Still nothing could stop me I pressed on. Found quite a few gems in there as well. The gems them selves could help pay for anything I could want.

After going deep down into the ancient Nordic burial chambers I found some of the rare stuff that I forgot the name of but is the almost the best armour and weapons in the game.

Continuing down I found some dead guy who I was supposed to find and he had a two handed weapon called "Bloodskal Blade" and a journal telling me about it. There was a new way to open in the door and this blade when it did power attacks threw a wave of energy or something into the doorway which caused it to move.

Once the door opened and I pressed onward into the deep chamber I saw a chest. Went up to it and it was one of the last chests. Found at the end of a level. Only two gold coins! Can you believe that. But my luck turned when a Dragon Priest appeared! I fired in my Daedric arrows into the Priest and he died (Need more arrows just in case I find another).

The Priest's mask is ok but I doubt I will use it. Have resistance to Shock and I never really fight things with shock powers... Still found another Dragon Shout. This was would allow me to deliver colossal blows with an armoured hide and more powerful shouts. I used it and it lasted a while. Only down side is can only be used once a day...

While approaching the end of the chamber I found a book. This seemed like a normal book but as it turned out was another one of that bastard Daedric Prince who likes knowledge! The book (which I still have) is called "Black Book: The Winds of Change" once one reads it they are thrown into one of the Prince's realms.

I searched the realm. Finding books to be taken back to Skyrim which I can put in my Library so I can use them in future uses if I get bored. Still nice little realm. At the end of the part of the realm I was in there was a larger version of the book. Once read it gave three options. One that would make skill books give an additonal point once read, one that would make companions not take any damage from your weapons be they destruction spells, a sword or a shout and there was a one that gave 10% better prices and 10% more damage against the opposite sex.

I took the 10% better prices and 10% more damage with the opposite sex. As I do like a good price and doing more damage always helps. To leave I just read the book I had with me once more and poof! Back into Morrowind.

Now I have left the barrow and going out to make my way back to the city. Where there is a strange shrine just outside the city which I want to investigate. No one who lives here knows why it is there but at 1-2am a large portion of the population were wondering over to the shire to work I assume. They wouldn't speak apart from the usual words heard from the shrine's cultists. All I know is that is it is the shrine of Earth. Perhaps there are more dotted along the Island.

Yes I am that fucking bored I pretty much writing a fucking journal... Cool I will call it Dertah's Exploits of Skyrim and Morrowind. (Might need a smaller title to attract audiences...)

[Lord Ariok]

Very good if you still have the chaos damage blade destroy it via disenchantment an if your enchanting skill is good enough you will be able to deal 90+ damage ive got it on my shatter fang(Nordic greatsword) also get as many black book as you can thats all ill say good luck with the rest of the dlc

[dx144]

Well I have level 100 Enchanting. I need to get two more perks though. Increase shock and Frost enchantments then everything. =)

I am not good at naming things =P Most armour is called like Nordic Helmet of Farsight. Increase Bow damage and Lockpicking 40% I chose Lockpicking just because there was an empty space and I didn't want to waste a Black Soul Gem.

Might pop back over to Skyrim and go to my fully built house. It doesn't cost that much to build house. I think I made money... I started off building it up with 30K now I have almost 50K....

I have a good Alchemy, Speech and Enchanting Level so I can make all my money back and I can sell any item to any merchant =D

[Lord Ariok]

Jolly good then you will do well gold wise then lol im currently spending alot for some hopless idiot for mining purposes still i got some good gear thus far

[dx144]

I found him gave him the money as it was essentially nothing to my money supply...

Still not heard from him yet though =/

[Lord Ariok]

He is a compleate idiot trust me keep giving him money and stuff will happen and its quiet good but the guy himzelf is a fool

[dx144]

Once I returned to the city of Raven Rock I was greeted by the Captain who told me to kill the dead Captain of the Imperials and told me that I was requested by the Second Counciler who was also the bastard who greeted me when I arrive in Raven Rock.

Apparently there is a spy or spies within the city plotting to kill the head counciller! Something about some House rivialry or something to do with Dark Elf politics... Never really changes anywhere you go I guess.

Still I was told to speak with the Inn keeper. He had told me to wait with the Ulen tomb for someone to arrive then question them as no one else would go into the tomb.

Well I also hired a warrior who claims he is the best swordsmen in all of Morrowind. I would like to see him beat me in a swordfight! Find that hard to believe. Still he can help carry some of the crap I find while exploring.

He told me his last patron was a stereotypical Nord. You know painted face, bloodthirsty and wanting to kill anyone or anything. Still he stayed with the Nord because he apparently paid well. I think I pay better...

Well he eventually left the Nord when they had cleared a area of bandits. Then as one made his escape they followed the bandit for days. eventually found him. Also found a massive bandit camp. The Nord warrior just had a massive grin on his face just before he charge into the bandit camp. Apparently that is when the Warrior left the Nord. No amount of money or payment was worth dying like that.

So back to where we were in the Inn as I prepared to go to the tomb we traded items so he could have some better armour. Apparently he doesn't want to wear Nordic armour. Might just prefer Light Armour for some reason. Divines knows why.

As we went into the tomb I looked around. Pretty small only a few rooms with an altar with a skeleton in the middle. Must be some kind of ritual within Dark Elf society. We waited for hours in that tomb. Eventually our spy arrived. Turns out it was some rich Dark Elf who was there to pay her respects to a fallen Dark Elf. My arse.

Still I went and informed the second counciller about this and we had a discussion about this. He was shocked to even here me accuse her as her family has done nothing but help the community. Still he gave me the key to their house in case they locked it. Wouldn't you have guessed it! They did like they knew I was coming.

Once I entered they put up a fight with Ebony daggers but my Nordic Blade of the Flames put a quick stop to them. I then quickly searched their bodies and the house for some incriminating letter. Turns out they supporters of the Ulen family.

So I informed the Second Counciller again. He was shocked but told me that he had Redoran Guard waiting to meet up with me at a fort on the other side of the Island.

This gave me a perfect opportunity to search for more of those mysterious shrines (If there are any). I thought the middle of the Island would be a good place to start.

Well once I got there encountered some bandits or the more local term.. Reavers but these were all working in the same way Raven Rock's civilians did. None of them spoke to me apart from the chanting which was the exact same as the Raven Rock spoke.

The Shrine was more like a destroyed or half constructed temple. It was much larger than the one in Raven Rock. I wonder if the Thalmor know about this... I guess they would let them worship this... if you could call it a God as it isn't a man ascending to Godhood. Fucking Elves.

Still I passed it as no one would speak to me and it would be easier to press on. I did find on my way to the Fort a group of Nords. Who could tell I had Beast Blood within me straight away. I think I may have found some refuge within the wilderness. They did also have some rings blessed by the Daedric Prince Hircine God of the Hunt.

I bought one just in case. It would allow my wounds to heal while in Werewolf form. For people who live in the Wilderness they did ask for quite a bit from me. 6000 gold! I could have bought another house for that much! Still I paid and got my money back by selling them all the crap I had picked up from a tomb or Reavers while travelling there.

I also found a Dwarven ruin or two! Dwarves really did get around. Cannot explore that at the moment. I might possibly in the future. Dwemer ruins are always confusing though.

Strange creatures were near the ruins as well! Some small almost like a shrunken blue man called Riekling. Probably some native Dark Elf which had become different from there lives out in the wilderness. They appear to have a completely different language! Some tribal speak perhaps. They are primitive. No magic from I have seen so far but they fight sticks and spears which they throw at their enemies.

Also I have seen they like to use traps. As I saw an abandoned area with some barrels and a chest. Went to go take a peek and see if there was anything of value. From what happened was I had these tribals burst out of the barrels and surround me. Luckily my new companion was more than aware and kill some while I killed the others. I think one was also riding a boar!

After I short amount of walking a bit further north I found another shrine almost the same size as the one in Raven Rock. This one is called Shrine of Water. The one in Raven Rock is Shrine of Earth and the large shrine or temple hard to tell is called the shrine of tree!

This is an interesting Island. I must be careful. Don't want to find a cult trying to kill me now. Wouldn't be the first time a large group of people have wanted me killed.

I wonder how harmful could these people be. More harmful than the Silver Hand? More harmful than Daedra? Doubt they are more harmful than the Stormcloaks or Dragons. I guess I will have to wait and see if these cultists are dangerous. Until I know their full intentions I will be keeping Nordic Flame and Nordic Blade of the Flames close to me.

Hmm not like I going to spend this money any time soon =P Still I am completely confused with these Shrines. If they are important to the storyline then don't tell me =P

[Talos Valcoran]

On your adventures on Solsthiem, try to find the skull of Karstaag(found in Glacial cave),then place it on the throne in Castle Karstaag. If you defeat him you get the power to summon him, but he can only be summoned 3 times which suck. He is a useful thing to have during really tough battles.

[dx144]

Well I will do another one of these journals when I get bored but I found that Cave when I went on a wonder. What enemies can expect in there? More little blue elf things?

I went around the entire Island and found more of the Shrines which I have no idea what they are or what they do except make people work in the night. (If you know don't let me know because I want to find out through the quest) =D

Might be better if I made this into a story and put it into the Stories forum =P

Dertah's Adventures of Skyrim and the Coastal Island of Morrowind =P

[bloodgod582]

I managed to do the quest the ebony warrior in which you have the best fight I've ever had in skyrim

[dx144]

After a couple more days of exploring this Island's locations I have found more of the mysterious shires, various locations contain many enemies and even a couple of Dragons.

Still have little idea of what the shrines are but I think I have found most or all of them on this rock. That isn't all I have found though. There is a small village I was told about. Skaal Village. Since I was near to the location I decided to pop off to there to see if the Ancient Nords living there had anything they could teach me.

Well when I arrived only the Elders and a child could be found. If I attempted to speak to the Elders they would just speak of keeping a barrier up and how they were trying to stop an evil power.

Still don't understand what he means but I did travel westish after being there. I find another shrine. The people who were working on it looked like they were from Skaal Village. Same clothing, same dialect so I think this is the evil power the Elder are trying to protect them from.

Still there is nothing I can do for them. Only thing is killing them and I don't think at first chance killing all of a village's population is a good way to get their help...

So while continuing on my wander of this Island I had found a Pirate captain. He was searching for armour called "Deathbrand" he had a treasure map and everything! Still Nordic Flame took him down. I now am off to search for the armour.

The Captain must have already found one of the chests but it was locked. He mustn't have had anyone who could pick locks or break opens chests but I was more than able to get that chest open. What was inside was something I had never seen before!

It was a helmet of Salthrim! Some of the rarest armour ever to be made! Except it was light armour... Never really seen the point of it but still it had an enchantment. If the helmet was worn with and entire set of Deathbrand it would increase armour by 100 points! Now that would make it very very powerful!

Best be off to find all of the armour piece and Divines know what else while searching this rock filled with horrid creatures and just filled with Dark Elves thinking they were here before Man so they are better than Man. Lets see how great you are when Nordic Fire rips a hole in your chest and burns you to a crisp.

______________________________

While using the treasure map to find the armour I stumbled across a giant mushroom. I mean this is the biggest mushroom ever! Now why would someone want to grow a giant mushroom. I think I will take a closer look at it...

When I made it to the Mushroom there were some more Dark Elves outside. Apparently a high ranking wizard of one of the Houses (More Dark Elf politics) lives in this Mushroom and so do other high ranking wizards...

While they consider Man to be savages they will live in Mushrooms...

Two Elves were outside when I approached. One failing at casting a spell and another complaining about them doing spells. Turns out the Elf failing to cast the spell was this Wizard's apprentice and the one complaining was the Wizard's Steward.

I can't be arsed right now I will probably write some more when I can be arsed.

The Ebony Warrior what is that? Is it back in Skyrim or in Morrowind DLC?

[Lord Ariok]

dx the whole death brand armour is mine MWHAHAHAHA and that map was a fucking pain in the ass!!! in other news for the ebony warrior you have to be level 80 for it i belive and you get sought out by him in skyrim also keep giving the mining fool money you will find good things as i have already siad but reminding you dosen't hurt

[dx144]

Well I now have 90K... I am spending so much but I make potions worth 500 each....

[Talos Valcoran]

The owner of Tel Mithryn(the giant mushroom place you found) if you talk to him, he would give you some quests for you to do.

[dx144]

Done all of his except the ones where he wants you to go over to Skyrim to get him stuff.

Thanks for the advice though.

[bloodgod582]

Ariok I have the ebony warriors armor and Wepons also he's a dragonborn too

[dx144]

Well 26 levels and I will have a go at killing this Ebony Warrior.

[CotW]

I'm finding this a fun read dx144. Been playing a lot of Dragonborn recently and it's fun to see written what I normally think when playing.

FYI get the 24 stones for that Thieves Guild thing (the unknown strange stones). I normally have 10+ of each gem when I clear a dungeon. I have over 400k gold now and at least 120 flawless diamonds on a shelf at my home!

My Nord is making a killing in the precious gems/jewellery trade!

[dx144]

Oh yeah I have it. You find gems everywhere!

Skeever running around. I kill it and find like three gems =P

The amount of money you can make from just killing things jumps up so much. =P

I could start doing some more story telling soon.

Though my story is kind of messed up. I didn't start any of the main quest on the Island because I hadn't seen the Greybeards so I was a random guy killing things on the Island =P

But I need to do some more of the Night Children story or Ariocky will die...
