Okay, everything was beautifully packed up by and Jull. She is going to use a small two wheeled cart she bought to put things in, it will be pulled by a Fla Atronach Horse so we won’t be struggling like before.
The next destination on this journey is Falkreath town itself. I know Jull has a bad history with the town but it will be a good chance to visit her mother’s grave. I think it will at least give her so peace of mind and may be able to free herself from the bad emotions she is struggling with.
I also had a goal in mind. I currently have no armor and even though it doesn’t really matter to , a good armor is sothing that make Nords look with respect to the person he or she is wearing the it rather than soone who dressed in a mage robe with the insignia of the hateful College of Winterhold like .
Before we head out, I felt like Jull wanted to look at Helgen one last ti.
Unlike Winterhold, Jull is very popular here. She is not considered my follower or anything. On the contrary, I am the one who is considered a follower to her, and people really hate .
They call nas like the ’Caveman’ and the ’Barbarian’ as well as many other worse nas due to living in a cave the last four months.
Jullanar, on the other hand, got few love confessions and secret admirers from the garrison soldiers and the town boys. Unlike the rest of Skyrim, Helgen is very unique. The people here are living on the trade route between the Empire of Cyrodiil and Skyrim, not just that, the people actually had many relatives across the other side of the borders. All this and that caused them to be more open to outsiders and don’t give the racial differences too much thoughts.
This was what made Jullanar, who was a half Nord Human half Dark Elf, receive a very good treatnt with how much she contributes to the community as an excellent hunteress.
They also disregard the issue with her blind left eye which made her feel good about the town and spend more ti there.
The annoying this is, the townsfolk who wanted to free Jull from the evil did really reckless things.
So of them tried to challenge head on, even though they were no match, they weren’t willing to give up that easily.
But one day, a soldier from the Imperial garrison harassed Jull as I was around. Normally she should have taken care of it herself but my woman would only look at with teary eyes as long as I am around. That day I made it clear that I was not really serious while beating up those so-called challengers. I used so magic and slapped the soldier ten ters away. After that day, a legend ca out about my hand that can conjure the ghosts soone’s dead ancestors with only one slap.
Anyway, I made a problem with the garrison Praefect and had to solve it with a big talk with the town’s elders and so officers. I had to reveal my identity as this year’s champion as well as my College seal and my Thaneship seal. I had a better treatnt but was still called the ’Caveman’ in secret.
Now that I think about it, Helgen may be the most friendly town in Skyrim so far. Even though they are Imperial supporters because of the garrison in town, they are not really bad.
I also had the chance to et with so NPCs that I never had to interact with in the ga like an old man called Velod who was ntioned (and also appeared) by Ralof in the ga’s first cutscene. Apparently, the ad that Old Velod makes is a sothing to kill for. I made sure to buy from it whenever I had the chance.
All in all, the town is not really bad. It is busy, active, and very open minded. Too bad it is the very first town the dragon ’Alduin’ destroys at the start of the ga.
Jull was always in a bad mood whenever I ntioned this fact to her. For that, I had to promise her to save the townsfolk when the ti cos few years from now.
After so talking with our acquaintances in town. We took our leave and used the western gate to head to Falkreath town. I was dressed in the new clothes and looked like so rchant myself.
We also had to turn down an escort job as we are going to travel fast on Fla Atronach Horses.
Speaking of Fla Atronachs. I managed to create another form and it looked super cool. I won’t use it now as a mount because it will scare the living ghosts out of those who see it and the horse is still useful.
Anyway, the road was fine for a while but so wolves appeared along the way. Jull put them down using her bound bow and arrows so we could continue the travel smoothly.
From what I saw just now, I ca to the conclusion that the wolves have faced a very strong enemy to fall from glory this much and attack people on the way. I guess Jull’s analysis was right, sothing is driving them out of their territory.
This will turn into a big problem if the Jarl’s hunters don’t hurry up a take care of it. A beast that can ss with the ecosystem is on the loose.
I kept using scan all along the way and had so results.
Deers are thriving in numbers!
I don’t understand what is going on but for the deers to live peacefully in the sa area where the wolves are suffering is sothing unheard of to an inexperienced hunter like myself.
Is there so superhero that saves the dears and hunt the wolves?
I couldn’t make my head around it no matter how I much thought!
Anyway, the forest had its own problems and I have to take care of mine. If by any chance the reason was figured out and it was worth my while then I’ll go do sothing about it.
After few hours of fast riding, we almost reached Falkreath.
This is my first ti in this town and I always hated coming here for the first ti each playthrough in the ga. There is so annoying quest about an annoying dog that requires to make an annoying journey to an annoying cave and kill so annoying clutist to et an annoying Daedric Lord and claim an annoying axe for him to get a cool looking helt in the end. The only thing I rember good about the quest is the reward helt though.
Anyway, before getting into town we had to banish our Atronach Horses and I started dragging the small cart by hand. Jull also had to cover her head just in case if anyone recognized her from her old acquaintances either from the townsfolk or the ’Dark Brotherhood’ assassins.
As we looked like the normal travellers to the guards, we were allowed in the town.
Falkreath is one of the major cities located in Skyrim. The town lies in the southwest of the province of Skyrim, near the borders of Hamrfell and Cyrodiil. At one period in history, Falkreath was part of Cyrodiil. Later, the town beca a settlent in Skyrim.
The current Jarl of Falkreath is Dengeir of Stuhn, a Nord elder who is not fond of the Empire and will support Big Bad Ulfric in the Civil War as if he was the second coming of Talos. Eventually, it will lead to him being overthrown by his nephew Siddgeir.
Falkreath has a famous graveyard. The graveyard contains many famous Nords who requested to be buried here next to the other honored dead of past battles. The Hold itself is on the borders with two other nations which are Hamrfell and Cyrodiil, that gave the hold a very high strategic value and it was a place of many battles, thus ca its famous graveyard.
And since the townsfolk were constantly living alongside the dead, they gave many of their shops and other buildings nas related to death. For example; the inn was called Dead Man’s Drink, the alchemy shop was called Grave Concoctions, a farm was called Corpselight Farm, and so on.
One of them is my destination and it is the inn to book a room for a few days, I had a few plans in mind and I needed an are of operation.
Just as we put everything into a room and locked it with magic, I followed Jull around the town.
She had a lot of mories in the town and showed around the places she used to play in and the farm she used to live with her mother in too.
At the end of the day we went to visit her mother’s grave.
It was a small grave far from the graves that belonged to the Nords under a big tree. The place was peaceful and calm. Jull who never cried in front of before was crying her heart out. This was the first ti for her to visit the grave. She wasn’t brave enough to do so before.
She talked to the grave and introduced to her mother. She also said that she avenged her mother from those who wronged her and she now can pass in peace.
Finally, she took out her journal and burned it in front of her mother’s grave. I don’t know what does that an as I have never heard of a tradition like this but it seed that Jull put her past behind and started to put a goal for her future. Lucky , I was in a major spot of that goal.
As the sun went down, we returned to the inn and had a heartly talk with each other. She leaned on like a girl in love most of the ti now. Funny thing is, I am so tall compared to her, she could barely reach my shoulder.
"So, you told you had a few goals you want to achieve in town. Will we get down to it?" She said.
"You still don’t look fine. Sure about it?"
"Yes, I need to do sothing or I may start crying again. This ti I don’t think I will be able to stop."
"Fine! Fine! I’ll tell." I said. "The first thing I am after is a very powerful piece of armor. Back in my past life, I learned it was obtainable through a certain an but I have to wait four years and for a certain event to happen."
"What event?"
"See those people over there." I said as I pointed to a couple of man and woman with a four years old child on the woman’s lap, they were just a small family spending the night in the inn, nothing strange about it. "These are Mathies and Indara as well as their daughter Lavinia. They own a farm in town. Lately, they hired soone to help them in the farm, a Nord called Sinding, and he is a werewolf. Four years from now, Sinding will kill Lavinia by mistake."
"WHAT?" Jull stood up and attracted so attention. The subject may have felt a bit bitter to her.
"Sit down!" I said. "Now Sinding haven’t done anything yet. So I find it a bit bad to kill him, but he is a werewolf so it will be for the greater good anyway. The thing is, I need to find out if he has a certain ring or not!"
"What ring?"
"A white ring with a wolf head. If he have it then I will do sothing about him."
Jull thought for a while and kept looking at the young girl. After a few seconds she nodded and said she will do anything.
"First, I haven’t found Sinding yet. We need to see if he is around then make a plan based on his circumstances. That’s for now."
Jull nodded, looked around, then walked to the bar counter and asked for a drink. I also took Nefertiti and joined so n playing dice.
After a few rounds, I pretended like I was willing to buy so crops and asked about the farms then strayed from a subject to another while buying more ad for the n.
After an hour. I walked away and signaled to Jull.
"What did you find out?" She asked.
"He hates gatherings of people and doesn’t co to inns. What about you?"
"He joined a band of hunters in town from ti to ti. So hunter bought a drink and started talking about how mighty their party is. Sinding was ntioned few tis."
"Good! There is a good chance that he might be around if there is many hunters in town now."
She nodded to and followed outside the inn.
I started scanning around until I located the farm Sinding works in and it looked like he was sleeping.
After pinpointing his location and making sure everything is under control, I turned to Jull.
"Who goes in? Who is the lookout?"
"Only one way to find out!"
""ROCK! PAPER! SCISSORS!""
