This is a fictional piece of work known as fan fiction. It is not to be sold or published for purpose of making money. It was created and written as a work of passion. In respect for the incredible work that was done by Bethesda and its writers to create such an endearing artistic work that began with Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion and then Skyrim. A span of years from 1994 to 2011. There are volumes written about “The Elder Scrolls.” Those written words span the story, lore, history, people, races, and belief systems of Nirn. Nirn is the world, Tamriel the known countries, and places like Cyrodiil, Elsweyr, Hammerfell, High Rock, and other places are the main territories within Tamriel.
The opening scene from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is famous. The story told was written to get us hooked to the overall tale. This tale is one in which you begin as a passive observer as the heart of the story unfolds around you, the primary character in this story. However, that tale has many parts never told. It is left to those who take up the role of playing the main character to discover where they lead. What I am providing is a version of one of these stories. It was written by me to tell the untold tale. It the journey of a character who knows nothing when they first wake up on that fateful ride.
Additionally, I don’t mention by name all the mods that have been created and inspired me to include parts of what they created in this story. We all should be grateful forever to the community of people who dedicate themselves to creating mods for Skyrim. They provide a richer environment of stories, lore, events, places, and creatures that add and transform the way in which we, the protagonist, are able to experience our own story.
Many of the modern features on many popular mod lists and collections have transformed Skyrim in significant and subtle ways would not had been possible if not for the community of mod makers. There are some whose stories might be featured in this untold story. So I give all of you the credit you deserve and my heartfelt thanks as a collective.
Finally, this is not meant to be a retelling of the way that the game was designed and created for the purpose of us becoming the main protagonist and creating our own story in the world of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This is a fan fiction story. It has been written to tell its own journey utilizing a great deal of online sources for the lore, history, people, places, events, and even the language of the dragons. There are many possible outcomes that the choices made, actions taken and even some of the story is written in order to provide a new and unique perspective of one person’s journey through “The Elder Scrolls.”
There are even old Norse myths that are used here in this story. Remember, storytelling is meant to invoke feelings, to help us live something alive and full of meaning that we would not otherwise had an opportunity to do. I use what is needed, I make no apologies for it, nor do I charge a single penny for it. It is a work of passion, meant to bring alive within us something I believe we have lost. Welcome to my story!
