Happy Stabbing of the Witch King Day!

Let’s not forget that, on 15th March it wasn’t just Julius Caesar who got stabbed to death by unexpected opponents! On this day, Éowyn daughter of Éomund and Meriadoc Bradybuck killed the Witch King of Angmar, chief of the Nazgûl, during the battle of the Pelennor Fields.

another thing about morrowind i love that is basically immediately removed from the series afterwards is that morrowind like. puts some actual thought into its animal life. like i’ve said, tes and a lot of other fantasy has really weird ideas about nature, and morrowind isn’t exempt from the gameplay flaw of literally every single animal in the game being on a single-minded mission to kill you for no goddamn reason.

but morrowind also like, does show you that people do have other relationships with the native fauna. it’s not all saint jiub the ecological terrorist out there. the kwama egg miners live in harmony with their kwama and we know exactly how the egg miners get around the kwama’s instinct to defend the nest. there’s a man in the game who is on an expedition to record kagouti mating behaviors. we know exactly how silt striders work as transport and how the dunmer live with them. there’s a distinction between wild and domestic strains of guar. the animals feel more like part of a landscape and a society and culture than they do later in the series and i miss that.

silly dnd things

AKE is a kenku from a cave. they and their brother taught themselves to read and write, as kenkus are rather rare in this world, and live in isolated cloisters. their parents died after ake found a strange pen, and used it to write a nightmare they had.

they became obsessed with enchantments and magical weaponry, hoping to control it. they’re a great old one warlock, disguising themself as a rogue.

Today might be the true 30th anniversary of The Elder Scrolls franchise. The early games in the franchise didn't get well recorded release dates, we have found contradictory evidence for a few of them. Searching Usenet, we found evidence people were playing Arena in February.

It may have been in distribution as early as February 03, 1994 to be specific. We even found someone stating that the first patch was in distribution for the game that month! While the official anniversary is March 25th, it's worth paying respects to the cult hit status of the early series.

I had a disturbing dream. I can only recall one part. A tall figure with a golden mask led me among the dead as through a wedding celebration. I heard many voices, but no lips moved. I strained to breathe, but my chest didn’t move. The tall figure spoke with each figure as he passed among them, laughing and joking, as if they were alive, but they made no reply. I tried to cry out, but without breath, my tongue fluttered in vain.
