In light of the unhospitable welcome (read: attack) Emma and I received at the temple of Akatosh, Carcette and I agreed that our Reformation of the Vigil should ally with the Blades as well as the Dawnguard. So she and I set forth to visit the Graybeards once more, as Esbern had entreated me to back in the Hall of the Blades he and Delphine were restoring. We stopped at the Eldergleam Sanctuary on behalf of the Temple in Kynareth along the way, and got some sap to help restore the Gildergleam tree in Whiterun, then continued on to the Throat of the World.
Arngeir bade me meet Paarthurnax who turned out to be a dragon! He was Alduin's younger brother, and had been waiting for Alduin to re-emerge from the time wound for generations, to kill him. He wanted me to go learn Dragonrend. i would have to return yo yhe college in Winterhold to inquire further.
But first I needed to perform a task I had been neglecting for too long. Isran wanted more help from the Vigil so Carcette and I went in search of Florentius by way of Forrt Greenwall, where we got drawn into a massive battle over Shor's Stone by the Imperials and Stormcloaks! We put our thumb on the scale for our fellow Nords, and after a long and bloody afternoon, chased the Imperials back eastward. We then tracked our brother to an excavation site the Vigil had recently discovered... Runvaald. We headed in. There were several vigilants in there but they seemed... charmed somehow. Creepy. We pressed through and they became hostile! Stendarr's gifts helped me calm some of them into a befuddled reverie but a few of them had to be put down, sorry wretches, along with the guards and a megalomaniacal sorceress who held them in thrall. Finally, we found Florentius and convinced him to help the Dawnguard. Now Carcette and I needed more absolution for killing or brethren... a few more bodies amongst the foundation of our reformed Vigil.
Back to the college then. Urag found some info for us, I would evidently need to figure out how to discern the transmundane. Wat. Saving that for later. Thought I'd instead take a vacation back home to Markarth to gather my thoughts and retreat from the constant horrors of the last few months.
