This probably isn't what anon expected but I don't know any other way to explain what mods I have and why.

Foreword

This post will be a comprehensive overview of the mods that I use for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (AE) and why I choose these mods specifically.

When I play Skyrim, I'm looking for survival-gameplay and a level of realism that can't be found in the base game. I dislike the idea that my character can defeat Alduin, Miraak and Harkon, as well as all manner of other enemies from both vanilla questlines and modded, in the span of a few months or years. As such, my aim is to make Skyrim a dangerous land that takes years to fully explore where my character will struggle to survive before they can thrive.

With the mods below, you'll find that you fall into a nice gameplay loop of exploring dangerous dungeons and completing quests while camping, returning to safety to rest and deal with non-fighting related business, and finally planning your journey for the next quest.

This post is split into the following sections:

Character creation

Survival

Non-combat mods

Travel

Combat

Weather

Miscellaneous

This post doesn't include:

Tutorials for installing any of the mods mentioned

Mentions of per-requisite files, compatibility patches or bug-fixes

Aesthetic/visual mods (such as retextures, city overhauls, new armour/clothing or animation replacers)

Companion mods, story/quest mods or expansions

Character creation

I'll quickly mention the race overhaul that I use - Aetherius. I like that each race is instead given a passive ability rather than the powers in vanilla Skyrim.

First, there's the Alternate Start mod. I like this as it not only allows me to skip the opening cutscene which I've seen far too many times, but also lets me start to think about what my character was doing before the start of the game. Starting with a faction or property in any of the holds allows for an easier start but typically I'll go for something that drops me right into the thick of it.

Immediately upon spawning in the world, I activate Dealing With Backstories to further flesh out my character's history. You'll start with detailing your character's childhood, from their parent's station in life to the chores and hobbies they had at a young age. You can start immediately with the "Coming of Age" stage or further flesh out more of their life. Something I love about DwB is that you can reactivate the mod to simulate time passing - which I love doing after completing a few major questlines.

Next, I make a point to travel to Riverwood - not just to start off the MSQ but also to choose my starting Patron God in Blackfall Temple. Rather than having to curry favour with the gods, this simply has you select your patron god (which can be changed at any time). It's simple and non-intrusive - something that's nice compared to the many other mods I have!

Survival

The absolute core of this comes down to three mods: Frostfall, Last Seed and Wounds.

Frostfall is pretty simple in that it's the mod that makes your character feel cold. You'll need to prepare for journeys to the colder parts of the province with warm clothing and plans for setting up camp once you can't tolerate the cold anymore.

Last Seed handles your main needs - Hunger, Thirst and Fatigue (with each being linked to health, stamina and magicka respectively). It also has other features, such as diseases which grow in severity the longer you go without rest or vitality which serves as an overview of your character's overall wellness - with support for Frostfall and multiple other mods that will be mentioned in this section, allowing them also to contribute to your wellbeing!

In order to keep your character fed, I recommend using Simple Hunting Overhaul which allows you to hunt animals for meat, as well as sell their carcasses for money. Combined with Skills of the Wild, you'll find your character improving as a hunter, allowing them to skin/butcher animals with more efficiency (and saving daylight in the process). I will warn that this does remove the compass and HUD - meaning you'll have to rely on the map and landmarks to navigate! I used to hate this but now I love getting lost.

The last of our core survival trio is Wounds which makes it so you can be injured in a variety of ways from bruises to concussions to broken bones. Similarly to the diseases, these can get worse if left untreated and will often leave you weakened from pain (or even unable to hold weapons, in the case of broken and unsplinted arms).

A final addition to round it out is Stress and Fear (and Stressful Darkness) which means that your character will become more and more stressed the longer they are in dangerous situations, such as combat or dungeons. You'll find your character isn't able to keep going without breaks, whether that's from disease, injury or stress. Eventually, they'll need to take a break!

Since my ideal living situation for my character is them being unable to afford a house of their own (helped along with Evolving Economy), you'll be spending a lot of time in the inns of Skyrim - which are a fair bit more pricey thanks to Coherent Inn Prices. A useful mod to go along with all of this is Extended Stay - although you'll need to adjust the prices in the console to match CIP - which lets you rent a room for three days, a week or even a month and gives you a safe chest for storage.

Once in the inn, you'll be able to wash off the dirt and blood from your recent travels with Keep It Clean. Not only will you be viewed more favourably when clean (through a speechcraft boost), but it keeps you healthier too since your disease resistance is lowered when you're filthy.

Finally, when it's time to sleep, make sure you have Idrinth's Dream Framework so that you have the chance to have a dream or a nightmare while you snooze. Make sure to add the various dream mods (all of which can be found in the "Mods requiring this file" section).

Non-combat mods

It's all well and good saying it's time to let your character rest but you'll still want things to do during that time. As such, here are a handful of mods for that exact purpose! First, overhauls of existing mechanics.

Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul does exactly what the title says - overhauls cooking and alchemy! I love making my character learn how to cook and improve over time and it links nicely to Last Seed, in that it gives you so many more foods to eat. The new alchemy additions of grenades and weapon coatings also give you more options during a fight!

Immersive Jewelry gives... so many new types of jewellery for your character to wear. I think that accessories can really tell a lot about your character and the many new styles will help you find something that fits your character more than the limited rings, amulets and circlets in vanilla. And even if you don't want to wear them yourself, you'll be able to sell them for plenty of money!

Thaumaturgy is my enchanting overhaul of choice, it isn't overcomplicated and just rebalances the vanilla enchants and adds some fun new ones.

Personally, I love playing scholarly characters which makes Immersive Spell Learning my favourite of the mod category I like to call "mages should be nerds". Learning spells will take time, particularly if they're of a higher level of understanding than you've currently achieved in that school of magic. It's also compatible with like... every mod that adds new spells. My personal favourite is Apocalypse.

Another mod in my academic-skyrim repertoire is Train and Study. With this, you can use skill books or training dummies to improve your skills. If you use this in tandem with Bibliophile's Arcanaeum, you'll be able to borrow skill books from the College of Winterhold. Great for waiting out the many, many blizzards in the north!

If you're more musically inclined, Skyrim's Got Talent lets you play a bard. Just be prepared to suck at first. Once your character gets past the beginning stages, it's nice to be able to whip out an instrument and sit back and listen to them play a song. In the same way as CACO, you'll find that this is something that your character will improve upon gradually.

Of course, I'm always looking for more mods to give me things to do during my character's downtime. I've recently been looking at Tavern Games, but if anyone has any suggestions then please send them to me.

Once the resting is done, it's back on the road! I like how I have to plan out my journey ahead of time - which quests do I want to complete now and which can I save until later? What quests and dungeons can be found along the way? If I get sick or injured, are there any nearby towns or villages for me to rest before I head to a city? Can I survive the cold at this time of year? Many things to consider!

Travel

Starting off with Journeyman, this mod overhauls fast travel. Rather than restricting fast travel entirely, this mod requires you to have a travel pack in order to do so. You can either craft or buy them but they do weigh quite a bit. I like this as sometimes, I don't want to have to walk up the seven thousand steps every time I need to chat to the Greybeards or Partysnacks. It means I will typically be on foot for most journeys but have the option to skip tedious journeys if I want to.

Some more mods to skip the on-foot tedium are Carriage and Ferry Travel Overhaul and Sforzinda's Destinations. These allow a number of ways to shorten the amount of walking you need to do.

However, exploring the world on foot is very beneficial with the Experience mod. This overhauls how the player earns experience, with it being gained through completing quests, clearing dungeons and even just discovering new locations. Something else to find on foot are Skyshards - collecting three of them gives you an additional perk point which I love a lot! I'm indecisive so I like having extra points to throw into skill trees without worrying whether I'll end up swapping playstyles later on.

Finally, I love the convenience of Convenient Bridges. I wish I was joking about this but there have been many times where I've looked at a river and thought, "wow, I wish there was a bridge so I could cross this" and then I look slightly to the side and there's a bridge there thanks to this mod. Considering that going in the water can risk hypothermia with Frostfall, this mod will really help in avoiding freezing to death.

Combat

Of course, where there's travel, there's danger. To start with, we have Arena which overhauls encounter zones. To put it in simple terms, certain enemy types are best left for certain level ranges and enemies will be harder overall... I think? I still don't fully understand but I do know that I frequently get my ass beat with this mod. Which I love.

Next is Manbeast which overhauls werewolves. My favourite part of this mod is the forced transformations - once, I had a character with several broken bones and a concussion. Though he was trying to recover in the Bee and Barb, the beast within threatened to break free and he had to go running across Riften before he transformed in front of everyone. It's counterpart for vampires is Scion, which is also in my load!

Can you tell I like the simonrim mods? Because here's another one - Stormcrown! Along with overhauling the shouts, you can meditate on them with Paarthurnax in order to permanently buff them (for the low, low cost of one dragon soul!).

As for dragons, I use Simply Stronger Dragons to make our scaly friends more of a threat and Dragons Awaken to add named dragons at dragon mounds (yay! more opportunities for death!). Finally, I add in Cult of the World Eater to encourage me to hunt down the dragon priests, lest Alduin be unkillable once I reach him in Sovngarde.

Weather

I don't have a neat transition to this category. Weather! Yippee!

First off is Frostfall Seasons. This makes it colder during winter and warmer during winter. Self explanatory. Then, it's Wander which adds some new types of weather but I primarily use for the darker nights. Next, I add True Storms which makes storms in Skyrim a thing a beauty. I love storms and this mod makes them incredibly intense.

Wonders of Weather adds rain splashes, shooting stars and rainbows, while Wet and Cold adds some visual effects to your character and NPCs based on the current weather.

Miscellaneous

Finally, we have the mods which I couldn't fit into the other categories.

Skald's Mail adds a mailbox for you to receive all of your letters in, rather than a courier running up to you every time. You can also send packages between mailboxes and order stuff from shops, if you have their catalogue. I love this mod so much. I want a mod that adds spam mail. I want mods that give me more mail. Please. Please.

Immersive Citizens overhauls the AI of friendly NPCs to make them more... immersive. Yeah. And Realistic Dark Brotherhood Kidnapping makes your kidnapping more realistic too! Also, I know I said I wouldn't include any quest expansions but I will sneak in Destroy the Dark Brotherhood. I always found it unrealistic that you just get to wipe out their sanctuary in one go and I personally enjoy hunting people down.

At this point, I've been making this for four hours on about as much sleep. I am COMMITTED to the grindset. jk i'm going to bed after this.

There's a lot of mods that I didn't include since they are down to personal preference. After all, not everyone is going to want crows flying overhead or is excited by the prospect of a completionist museum. As such, here's some special mentions of mods that I enjoy but are (ultimately) down to personal preference.

Hunter breeding his wife cuz she has been a such a brat these days,she should know he loves only her! No need to be so bratty about it, like what does she mean his love was suffocating? He had to punish her to remind her who she belongs to

TW: Mind control, Dubcon, Noncon, breeding kink

It's March, and the flowers are starting to bloom. Normally, you'd love the weather, but recently you can't enjoy anything due to Hunter. Luckily, Delilah offers some form of relief for you.

"Ae!" Delilah squeals, trying to crawl up to you.

"Good girl!" You coo, opening your arms for your baby.

Delilah stumbles onto her feet and tries to take a couple of steps. All is going well until Hunter opens the door. Then, Delilah falls to her knees.

"I'm home, and I brought food!" Hunter yells, bringing bags of fast food.

"Really, Hunter?! Delilah was about to take her first steps, and you ruined it!" You snap, making Hunter a bit uncomfortable.

"Sorry, darling. I was really excited to see my family," Hunter says, trying to kiss you on the cheek.

"Well, I'd like it if you saw us less often," You reply, moving your cheek away.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'm saying your love is a suffocating force that strangles the life and joy out of everyone around you."

"You don't mean that. My love helped create our babies."

"More like your kinks and persistence did. If anything, I should be worried that they're related to you."

"There's no reason to act so bratty. If you're upset, take it out on me. Don't take it out on the children."

"I'm going to bed. Lauren, time for dinner!"

You put Delilah into her high chair and walk to your bedroom. You sit on the bed and look at a photo of you from the beginning of senior year. You were happy, and best of all, you didn't know him.

"Mamamama!" Lauren coos, walking into your room.

Delilah crawls in, following behind her sister. They climb onto the bed and snuggle next to you.

"Aww! Are my babies all full?" You ask, kissing their cheek.

Lauren nods her head and hugs your chest.

"Daddy even fed us desert!" Lauren squeals, becoming bouncy and hyper.

Hunter walks into the room, and you shoot him a glare.

"Alright, you two. Mommy is tired and needs her rest," Hunter says, making Delilah and Lauren climb down.

The two babies go into their playroom.

"Really? Desert? Right before bedtime? They'll be hyper till the next morning," You scold, hitting Hunter with a pillow.

"Is it so wrong to treat my babies right? Besides, at least I ate dinner with them," Hunter comments, making you snap.

"At least I don't uproot their lives and force them to be with me all the time. At least I let them have their choice of friends. At least they know I give them unconditional love," You snarl, breaking Hunter's last straw.

Hunter pins you to the bed and kisses you.

"You need to be punished. I'm not letting our children get raised by a brat," Hunter says, flipping you over.

Your stomach is on the bed, and you know what's going to happen.

"Oh please, a couple of spankings aren't going to hurt me. I'm used to your hands by now," You comment, laughing at your husband.

"Which is why I bought this paddle. I was going to save this for the weekend during our getaway, but I see you need it now," Hunter says, making your eyes widen.

"You-ah!"

Hunter slaps your ass with the paddle. He takes off your pants and underwear, and you're only left with your shirt on.

"Keep talking, and you'll end up with one hundred hits to the ass. If your pussy starts to get wet, I will command you when to cum. If you squirt, you'll get one hundred more hits."

Hunter keeps paddling your ass, and eventually, he notices your pussy is dripping wet.

"How pitiful. You only made it to fifty before getting wet. In that case, you'll need to cum every time the paddle touches your ass," Hunter says, shocking you.

"Hunter, that isn't even possible!" You exclaim, trying to move your hands from the cuffs he put them in.

"Of course, it is. You see, Heath and Henry are having relationship problems with their wives, too. So, Henry used his tech company to create a collar we call the Commando. Once that pretty thing is around your neck, you can't help but do anything I say," Hunter explains, bringing the black and pink collar around your neck.

"Hunter, stop it! Hunter-ooh...why does it feel so good?" You moan, feeling everything in you go hot.

"There are temporary nanobots in the heart. Right now, those bots are in your bloodstream, traveling to your brain and taking it over so you can be perfect. Don't worry. Once the caller is off, you'll be free."

"Hunter, you've just hit a new low."

Your head feels dizzy, and suddenly you black out. When you awaken, you feel the need to follow Hunter's orders.

"What should I do for my husband?" You ask, smiling gleefully.

"Cum every time I hit you with this paddle," Hunter replies, making your pussy get wetter than before.

Hunter hits you with a paddle, and you cum instantaneously. He laughs and hits you fifty more times. You cum so much that it's leaking onto the bed sheets.

"What else should I do for my wonderful husband?" You ask, turning to face Hunter.

"Tell me, are you highly fertile right now? I know you check your menstrual chart every day," Hunter commands, grabbing your phone from your nightstand.

"Of course, honey!" You chirp, pulling up your period tracker and pulling up today's date. "I'm very fertile today. Are you going to make me a mommy of three?"

"God, I love the way you talk with this collar."

Hunter takes his pants off and puts his dick inside you.

"Oh, master!" You moan, holding your legs open for him. "And to think naughty me was going to get birth control and an IUD."

"If that's what you thought you were going to do, then I'm going to make sure the only thing that always belongs in this pussy is my cock."

Hunter speeds up his thrusts, and he cums in you. You moan with satisfaction and beg for him to breed you again.

"If my loyal wife commands it," Hunter says, thrusting in you again.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!" You squeal, groping your boobs. "Make my boobies full of even more milk!"

Hunter climaxes and sends a wave of cum into you.

"Cuddle, Y/N."

"Yes, hubby."

The two of you cuddle while Hunter is still inside you. When you wake up, your pelvis is hurting like no tomorrow.

"Hunter, what did you do?" You groan, holding your stomach.

"I bred the brat out of you," Hunter answers, bringing breakfast and painkillers. "Don't worry. You'll be okay, and you'll deliver another child for our babies to play with."

You cry, and he soothes you.

"I'll provide the best maternal services for you like I've always done. As much as I want you to be carrying my babies, you can't do that if you're stressed."

"What would you know about stress, you demonic, horny bitch."

"I can tell being a mother is stressing you out so after this baby, I'll be wearing a condom. You're also getting that nexaplon implant I took out back in college. We both need a break."

"Thank you, Hunter."

For once, things were going your way. At least you'll have another nine months without a period.

Rivendell is infested with cats because I said so

When you first appeared in the last homely house

You did not plan on staying long

Your horse was wounded and you needed an experienced healer

You were told not to worry by the kind elves there

One elf in particular, Lord Elrond, was most hospitable. He invited you to dinner with him to hear about your travels to Rivendell.

You took him up on the offer

When he left, you noticed the brown feline following him

No one seemed to acknowledge it, so you didn’t either

While you were being escorted to your room, you seemed to spot many more felines through the halls

“Lindir… what is with all of these little companions?”

“My Lord Elrond fed one once. It brought its friend the next time. And being the kind elf he is, he fed it as well. And now we are well full of cats.”

Though you had not known Elrond for very long, you could see him being the type to feed a stray

“You are not allergic are you?” Lindir asked you. 

“Oh no! I have just never seen so many cats in one place before.”

“You actually caught them at a good time. They were just fed, so they are far more kind.”

“Do they have names?”

“Of course. The one that has been following us is Ae Mellon. Meaning ‘small friend.’” Lindir stopped walking and let Ae Mellon approach you both. He pat his head a little and continued to walk. “He was the original friend. But not the first cat.”

“I assume the first follows Lord Elrond?”

“Precisely. His name is Siniath réd. Meaning ‘new son’.”

“A fitting name.”

When you reached your room, a small feline greeted you and Lindir. 

“I guess you have been chosen as well for a new companion. What shall her name be?”

She was black as night. Her green eyes peered up at you. When you hesitated to pet her, she got up on her back paws and leaned her front paws on your thigh. 

As you met her wishes, you asked Lindir, “What is sindarin for ‘friendly creature’?”

“Milui ún.”

You continued to pet her and said, “Hello, Milui ún.”

Liandrin straightened, looking down at the other woman. The Lady Amalisa stayed as she was, kneeling, her face as open as a child's, a child waiting to be comforted and helped by someone wiser and stronger. There was a rightness about it to Liandrin. She had never understood why a simple bow or curtsy was sufficient for Aes Sedai when men and women knelt to kings and queens. What queen has within her my power? Her mouth twisted angrily, and Amalisa shivered. (TGH, ch. 5)

Two Liandrins! One's a toxic yuri cherub, the other has Kate Fleetwood's cheekbones and her insane degree of homoerotic tension with every woman who's on screen with her for 8 seconds or longer. What a time to be alive. We are so well fed.

[toastandjamie]

I just- Mat and Thom’s friendship is just so good. Like it’s genuinely such a funny dynamic. Like in the first two books Thom was very solidly in the “I’m Rand’s stand in dad since his real dad can’t be here” camp alongside Lan only for Mat to stumble into a tavern in Tarvalon Thom was trying to drink himself to death in, high off his own luck and having just killed a man by flipping both of them off a bridge and standing up from that unscathed and Mat just goes “wanna go to Camlyn with me?” To note, they haven’t seen eachother since Thom nearly died to a Myrdraal and Mat was Literally The Worst at that point in time because dagger sickness; and Thom just goes “yeah sure.” And for the rest of the series Thom becomes Mat’s therapist/babysitter and it’s so funny.

Like- the things this old man put up with. He just had to sit there and listen to Mat lie to himself in real time like the rest of us. He got front row seats to Mat insisting that he was “no bloody hero” while feeding refugees, taking in orphans, rescuing women and risking his own safety for others constantly. He had to sit through Mat and Rand both coming to him to mope about how they can’t be friends anymore because Rand’s the dragon reborn while in Tear. He had to bare witness to Mat and Elayne glaring at eachother like feral cats the entire Ebou Dar trip playing mediator. Every single crack brained scheme Mat came up with the sneak out of Altara with three Aes Sedai in tow he had to listen to. He was forced to watch Mat’s insane attempts at courting the evil empress of the empire that’s been antagonizing the cast since book two. He had to drag Mat’s rabid ass through the tower of ghenji while trying to keep Mat from getting fed up and just trying to stab the Finn to death with a knife.

Thom might as well have been an honorary member of the band, because he put up with not just Mat’s antics, but Olver’s too. I just love them so much.

When The Dragons Fly (Book 6)

You receive a reply from Maedhros. Aelon and his friends wonder about the possibilities of new dragonriders until Sha-nâkh makes a sudden appearance in your home.

Chapter 9

Warnings: Sha-nâkh being heavily wounded and pleading for your help.

-----------------------------------------------

After the sunrise and breakfast, you opened the letter you had received. Maedhros had sent a reply that you were both eager and anxious to read — to see what he thought of your plan.

You unfolded the letter and began reading it. 

Surprisingly, Maedhros had a calm reaction. He expressed his gratitude for the information you provided about Morgoth’s flying dragon, but he considered your plan to befriend Sha-nâkh unwise since you could leave yourself open to spies. However, if you were certain you could make the dragon a possible ally, then he would not try to stop you. 

You felt slight relief since it meant Maedhros and his people wouldn’t cause trouble with you housing one of Morgoth’s dragons. However, you could not help but still feel gloomy that you couldn’t talk to him more personally. This letter was only about the current matter at hand. 

Outside the mountain hall, Aelon and his friends were on a stony hill, feeding their dragons. Rodrick, Eweniel, and Ramuel were feeding treats to the younglings while Falconer was eating a lamb behind Aelon. 

“Hey, Ae, Ewe, I heard a new dragon is going to come live with us, is that true?” Rodrick asked. 

“Yeah. But (Name) needs to find proof to show the dragon that we can be trusted,” Aelon replied. 

“Her name is Sha-nâkh. She’s a mother dragon trying to protect her eggs, apparently, there are five of them,” Eweniel added. 

“Yeah. That’s pretty much the reason why (Name) wants to invite her to come live with us,” Aelon said. 

“This means we’re going to have eleven dragons living with us if you count the eggs,” Rodrick stated. 

“Yeah, and that means more dragonriders if Sha-nâkh allows her kids to have their own humans,” Eweniel said.

 “Our home would definitely feel safer with more dragonriders.” Rodrick fed Viserya treats from his hands. 

“What about this Sha-naakh thought?” Ramuel questioned, having trouble spelling the name. 

“From what (Name) had told me. I don’t think she will be most eager to have anyone ride her, but technically, she doesn’t need a rider to defend the village if necessary,” Aelon answered.

“Yeah, maybe you’re right,” Ramuel said. 

“But it would look cool if she did, though. What does she look like?” Eweniel questioned. 

“I don’t know. I haven’t asked yet,” Aelon shrugged his shoulders. 

Falconer suddenly stopped eating and looked toward the sky with a curious croak. The younglings did the same, chirping and looking toward the sky. 

“What is it, Falconer?” Aelon questioned. 

Ramuel then looked startled and pointed at something. “Guys, what’s that?” he asked, pointing at a shadow flying in the sky. 

Sha-nâkh flew through the sky, her breath coming in ragged gasps. The wounds she had sustained weighed heavily on her, and she had to exert extra effort to keep herself aloft. Her front leg, injured with a deep, burning gash, limped painfully through the air. She had managed to lick them to stop the bleeding, but the pain was still there, taking a toll on her strength. 

She scanned the village on the hill. Her nose then caught your scent. When she saw the younglings and Falconer, she began descending toward them. 

The people screamed at the sight of her as she flew over the village and landed in front of the mountain hall’s entrance. It was a rough landing as she had to be careful with her wounded leg.

Falconer shrieked cautiously as Aelon and his friends backed away from her, staring at her in a mix of awe and fear. The younglings croaked and chirped at her, pushed back by the wind created by her wings. 

Baelen was quick to come in front of the children with his men, ready to fight, but held back as Sha-nâkh did not try to attack. 

“Dragon! Why have you come here?!” Baelen demanded. 

“Bring me (Name) Targaryen!” Sha-nâkh demanded. 

Before Baelen could say anything, you came through the entrance after hearing the commotion outside. You were first to notice the injuries and her limping front leg. 

“Sha-nâkh. What has happened? You are injured,” you asked while motioning Baelen and the other men to stand down. 

“I…” Sha-nâkh took a deep breath, clearly exhused by the flight. “...was ambushed. The orcs managed to slip past and nearly took my eggs,” she answered. 

“I barely managed to fend them off, and I’m afraid they are getting sharper in their approach,” she added. 

“I have come to…” she hesitated, looking at you. 

You patiently waited for her to finish. 

“I have come to… plead for your help,” she finally admitted, bowing her head. 

“I’m afraid you were right. I was overwhelmed and barely fended them off myself,” she said. 

“So, I plead for you, (Name) Targaryen,” she bowed her head again. “I plead for your help to protect my young before it's too late. I will have no reason to live if the last clutch with my mate perishes at the hands of the orcs,” she spoke. 

Everyone looked at the scene in awe. You glanced at them worriedly as they whispered to each other. The sight of a dragon of Morgoth bowing before you will definitely cause some rumors and news to spread. 

You turned back toward Sha-nâkh. 

“Where are your eggs now?” you asked. 

“I had hidden them in another part of my lair so I could come here, but I’m afraid they won’t stay hidden for long,” she replied. 

“Will you help me?” she asked. 

“I will help you, but I’m afraid your lair is no longer safe for them. They have to be moved elsewhere,” you explained. 

“Then give me your word that you will protect them, (Name) Targaryen,” Sha-nâkh said. “Give me your word that you will not allow even one of my eggs to fall to the orc hands.” She looked at you intently. 

“If you do, I will take your offer or move away from here,” she added. 

The people then waited for your response. You glanced at them before glancing at Baelen, who knew what you were about to say, giving his approval with a nod. 

You turned back toward Sha-nâkh.

“I will give you my word. Not even one of your children will fall to the hands of orcs,” you said, then turned back toward Baelen. 

“Gather a small group of willing men. We need to depart as quickly as possible. We will likely have to fight, but our task is to ensure the safe extraction of the eggs,” you instructed. 

“Right,” Baelen nodded and left to do what you asked. 

You turned toward Sha-nâkh. 

“Perhaps you should rest here while we go ahead,” you suggested.

“No. I will not abandon my young. You will also need me to tell you where I had hidden them,” Sha-nâkh replied sternly. 

“Very well, but I must ask you to avoid injuring yourself further,” you said. 

You then took a deep breath and reached out to Baleria through your bond, telling her to come to you. She responded, and you waited for her to come. 

Aelon walked up to you. “Is there something I can do?” he asked. 

“Stay in the village. Watch over our home while we’re gone,” you said. 

“Sha-nâkh’s caves are too narrow for our dragons to move, so we have to retrieve the eggs ourselves. It will be dangerous because we will likely have to confront the orcs. So, watch over our home during our absence. Alright?” you looked at him.

“Alright,” Aelon nodded. 

“Good. Let us hope that this won’t end badly,” you said as Baleria flew down and landed in front of the mountain hall. 

You flew on Baleria as Sha-nâkh flew alongside you. Baelen and a small group of men followed upon horses, and you prayed to whatever god would listen that you won’t fail to save Sha-nâkh’s young.
