Books! I get ahead of myself. I decided to take a small respite from adventuring and look over my gains. In my travels across Skyrim I have already amassed a large number of books, more than my current bookshelves could fit! So it was today that I took the opportunity to read said books. Except the incomplete series of course. Here is a few things I learned today:
Sheogorath is all kinds of awesome
If a mage starts talking about hypothetical treachery, just kill him.
I've only found a few of the many standing stones in Skyim
Dark Elves can make their ancestor ghosts attack you..or just scare you.
If you need to know something most people don't, ask a beggar!
There aren't a lot of cats to be found in Skyrim.
There is a cool set of Khajiti tapestries that I need to see on day.
The Dwemer sound scary, I hope I never see one.
The Thieves Guild of Skyrim sounds just like I assumed it to be: Stupid.
There were bird people in Cyrodiil?
If you survive a Horker attack, be sure to sell its meat and tusks on the market!
When talking to guy who is supposed to know everything about vampires, chances are he is a vampire too.
The best way to not get killed is to not let the other man hit you.
The ruins of Folgunthur may hold secrets to the Gauldur Legend
Some people fantasize about giants.
If I defeat a dragon by shouting it to death, someone might make a book about me too.
Orcs seem to know a great deal about honor. I hope most of them are honorable.
The more I read about the Forsworn, the more they scare me.
If your going to fight in the swamps, let an Argonian armor you.
I'm not very good at riddles.
The Empire has a very different account of Ulfric Stormcloak. I wonder who is right.
Diamonds should be sold, not put into cakes - no matter how delicious that sounds
Markarth may have lucrative bounty work, and a dwarven city below it that needs exploring
The story of the Forsworn Champion known as the Red Eagle may have an interesting burial mound - if I can find it
The Blades have been waiting a long time for someone like me to appear. I just hope there are any left.
Wispmothers should be avoided at all cost. Gee, wish I had read this one earlier.
Some guy put two enchantments on his sword. I want to try that.
Some believe that the great dragon Alduin (The very dragon I have come face to face with twice) is in fact The Great Dragon Akatosh. They are wrong as they are stupid. Alduin is every bit "The World Eater" as these old texts describe. He surely must be the supposed Dragon King, who at this moment seeks to reunite all dragons to wage war on man. This does not bode well.
If that were not bad enough, I happened upon a "Book of the Dragonborn". There was some interesting tidbits, implying I may have some connection to the old Septim line of Kings. But most important was a prophecy, perhaps told in an Elder Scroll. It reads:
"When misrule takes its place at the eight corners of the world
When the Brass Tower walks and Time is reshaped
When the thrice-blessed fail and the Red Tower crumbles
When the Dragonborn Ruler loses his throne, and the White Tower falls
When the Snow Tower lies sundered, kingless, bleeding
The World-Eater wakes, and the Wheel turns upon the Last Dragonborn"
I really, really, really don't like the sound of that.
