Happy Daggerfall release anniversary!

I love it, but I'm glad the orcs stopped throwing children into the deepest dungeon pits in later games.

Underwater battle, underwater run Underwater ripple and some underwater fun

In Skyrim, we paddle paddle

I think it's a little disappointing that we can have waterbreathing effects in Skyrim, but we can't attack or shout. Which means we're completely vulnerable against the slaughterfish. I want to yell at fish pls

I mean we don't have underwater dungeon in Skyrim to begin with, but there are chests in the water. It's annoying when I can't swim in peace. Gonna loot fast.

Bonus:

In ESO, we die

The Agent is a Bard: TES Ramble

I want to preface this by saying this is purely headcanon, c0da-leaning, and completely out there in terms of solidity and in terms of what is widely known/available. I am and have been a huge Elder Scrolls lore and non-canon additions nut since I was a wee child. So let’s get into this.

In the Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, the protagonist is a relatively blank slate like in all the other entries. However, I’ve personally headcanoned that the Agent is a Bard. Agent is a class that appears in the later entries, (Morrowind, Oblivion) but has no presence in Daggerfall itself. Unless of course you re-create it via a custom class. So what’s the idea? Bards are storytellers, usually giving their stories through song — and a key factor in Daggerfall’s plot is the Numidium, the giant Brass Golem created by the Dwemer. Daggerfall also possesses multiple endings that were unified into a single explanation of the “Warp in the West” where upon Numidium’s activation, time stopped flowing linearly and all the possible outcomes happened.

This brings to mind an idea of the concept of a game of telephone, how a story changes ever so slightly each time it’s told. Who else but a Bard would tweak their story a little bit over and over, saying they made different choices that resulted in something unique to spice up their narrative? Now obviously the Agent seemingly vanishes after the events of Daggerfall, probably due to screwing with Time so supremely.

Numidium, and by extension the Dwemer, utilized a form of magic known as Tonal Architecture — which is using sound in such a way that magic effects are brought about. Bards obviously also use sound. This is purely a neat little thematic connection to be made for the idea, Tonal magic, and a Bard’s musical storytelling. The multiple outcomes, the Numidium breaking the Dragon, a story told with slight differences each time: all because a storytelling, song-singing Bard made all the choices possible to please everybody they could via a giant fantasy time-warping mecha.

Gonna be AWOL for the rest of the day but I'm leaving you all with the very contentious poll topic:

Well, I decided t' draw me Daggerfall character: Vallinalo (a High Elf, the term 'Altmer' didn't exist at the time). Like any player character of mine in anythin, Vallinalo is non-binary. They am a Rogue, a fortune-seeking mercenary who also 'appens t' worship an' be devoted t' Arkay. I could ramble on, and would if prompted. Also the screenshots I used of the in-game sprite t' draw them.

The Time I Had

~ @tes-gala 2025 - Day 7 ~

Loredas 21, ---.

You know, I've never really been to a gala... at least, not one I was supposed to be at. I thought I knew what I was walking into, but let me tell you: I didn't. A lot of weird things happened there - as far as I heard, it didn't seem so bad at first. Normal gala stuff - someone lost his shoe in the crowd, someone else just couldn't remember the names she was hearing.

But then it started to get weirder. There was a woman who bolted when she thought she even glimpsed an Altmer, and a man cackling as he told the other guests about their 'fates'. There was a Nord woman covered in filth, and they really just let her in like that - shit, another woman's gown started rotting off her body. The stench was vile, I'm telling you - I couldn't even get close enough to find out who it was!

And then I found out Sheogorath was there. Like, Daedric madness Sheogorath, the real deal. Ha, no wonder the place was a mess! You'd think that'd be against the Compact or something, but it doesn't seem he's much for playing by the rules. If someone really did summon him up, well, I hope they were expecting this. The way I see it, he was probably looking out for those troublemakers, making sure they didn't get kicked out early.

Including myself, of course. You think I played by their rules either? Of course I didn't, I was barely even dressed for the occasion! At this point, I'm not even sure my invitation was real - that'd explain a lot, if you ask me. Of course I filled my pockets - anywhere you find riches, you find rogues. Even found myself a handsome Orc 'companion'... oh yeah, he was a good one alright - I might actually miss the guy. I'd tell you more, my dearest me, but there are some things you just can't put to paper.

Well, I think that's it for now. It was a weird time, but a good one - I'd do it again, minus the rot woman. Hope you're doing well, yourself.

Ever your loyal companion, Fa'zel.

was this event ever fun ! kossai work on ideas since first announcement , and so happy to finally share everything , even if there was some hitch along way with concept changes and lack of focus . :D

obviously , can not speak for anyone else's contributions and storylines - this is exclusive to kossai characters - but toy with ideas like this ever since start . in one version of this end , would reveal sheogorath play with paper dolls this whole time , but that one seem too sad . in another version , this entire event was mass hallucination , but then that would be pretty sad for safya and ellona especially , and these ladies do not need more heartbreak .

so why not ... hijack ? this event was real , sheogorath just take advantage of chaos to send out some temporally nonsensical invitations . maybe , even , that first day failure was intentional ? or maybe not , sheogorath is still sheogorath after all . realistically gala event is not canonical to these character timelines anyway , just think would be fun to try and explain this strange clash of timelines - dhajan and safya would be long dead by lydia and ellona's time , after all , to say nothing of fa'zel's situation ...

for those who want little bit more fun - even those who do not have official gala submissions yet , or submit designs for canonical characters - sheogorath's blessings will remain open late ! also check out gala questions for some ideas of things to ask other participants :)

i want more elder scrolls games where it isn't about you. yes, you are the player character, but you aren't really anybody super special. the super special person is an npc, or not even a character but just an overarching plot point. if it weren't for you, the problem would just get solved some other way. you feel me

TES PROTAGONISTS

So an idea I’ve had rattling around is doing little bios for my mainline Elder Scrolls heroes, enjoy.

The Elder Scrolls I: Arena

Name: Hadraniel (He/They)

An Altmer knight-paladin of Auri-El born in the capital of the Summerset Isles, Alinor. Would eventually go on to become a trusted member of the Septim Empire’s royal court, which of course would land them in prison after Jagar Tharn enacts his coup. Very traditionally chivalrous and heroic, as befits the kind of classic ‘stop the evil wizard’ plot that Arena had. Also uses grim humour to cope with his continent-spanning task. His fate is unclear, some saying he returned home to Alinor, others theorizing he went to reclaim the Battlespire for the Empire.

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall

Name: Kyani al-Shajar (She/Her)

A Redguard Bard from a small town in northwestern Hammerfell, not far from the city of Sentinel. Joined the Blades after an offer was extended by one of Uriel Septim VII’s sons who was visiting Sentinel where she worked for the Temple of Dibella and within the noble courts picking up rumours and the like. Her knowledge on Iliac Bay politics basically gave her an in. Cut forward to the events of Daggerfall and she’s put to the test investigating everything as the Emperor’s Agent. Does her best to be kind but also knows how to ‘work the system’ as it were. Her ultimate fate is unknown due to the time-altering effects the Numidium created.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Name: Zyarie (She/Her)

A Dunmer Nightblade from the Imperial City, she spent her childhood as an urchin and a thief barely scraping by. Coming into adulthood and she joined a local gang where she learned some magical skills and honed her aptitude for stealth and thievery further. This eventually landed her in hot water with the law after she was caught trying to break into the home of a member of the Elder Council. She gets thrown in jail for a few months until she’s shipped off to Morrowind and the events of that story pick up from there. Over the course of the plot she has flashes of memories that aren’t hers and with her getting the Moon-and-Star ring is fully given Nerevar’s memories — including his gruesome death — but she isn’t overridden, Zyarie is still her own person, just with another’s memories alongside hers. At the beginning she nearly outright rejects the idea of her being the Nerevarine, but overtime the memories become too clear and she slowly accepts it, with the help of her allies and friends. After the defeat of Dagoth Ur, and Zyarie sadly having to kill Almalexia, she would mysteriously fade from the public eye, and is rumoured to have left all-together, possibly to Akavir. Though, others say she travels Tamriel still.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Name: Llevana (She/They)

A Dunmer Rogue born in Narsis but raised in Cheydinhal, they were the child of a disgraced noble who was forced to leave Morrowind. Fell into a decadent crowd who turned out to be a minor cult of Mephala. There they learned the arts of stealth and how to speak smoothly, until in true Webspinner fashion, was betrayed by their former ‘friends,’ and framed for a crime they did not commit. Cut forward a few months to Uriel tromping up to them and doing the whole spiel, where the dashing disheveled rogue felt a strange compulsion to help the weird human man. Shenanigans and Oblivion Crisis ensues, Llevana gets the hots for Martin and they totally have some time together before he turns into a Dragon, blasts Dagon to bits, and becomes a statue. Llevana kind of snaps a little after this, vanishing into the Shivering Isles portal, and mantles Sheogorath entirely. Though from then on, uncle Sheo would begin to appear as a Dark Elf more and more to the common madmen.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Name: Ylva Frostborn (She/Her)

A Nord spellsword born in Falkreath but grew up in Bruma. Her father was a widowed blacksmith who served in the Legion during the Great War. She had a generally unremarkable childhood, hunting in the frosted woods around the city and helping her father, while learning some magecraft on the side as it was an interest of hers. Story old as time; she’s caught in the middle of a skirmish between the Imperials and Stormcloaks on the border, and taken prisoner. She escapes, and the events of Skyrim take place. Ylva is the most stoic of the heroes, though has the most with her on her journey (modded followers, team Dragonborn.) She eventually disappears from Skyrim, some say on an expedition to Atmora, others, that she dwells in Apocrypha. However she is said to return when Tamriel as a whole needs her.
