Well, during a civil war it does make more sense that Fort Kastav is in use, rather than controlled by necromancers or bandits.
And that's how Daenerys became an Azura cultist.
Deadric Princes are bullshit.Abruptly the priestess turned and bowed to her. "Hail, Daenerys of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Dragonborn. Welcome to the Shrine of Azura."
Kastav is manned... however only during the mission for the Imperials to capture it. The game throws out logic about a lot of the forts for the sake of not letting some perfectly good dungeons be un clearable because you don't want a bounty.Well, during a civil war it does make more sense that Fort Kastav is in use, rather than controlled by necromancers or bandits.
And that's why I've never seen it manned. I've never played Imperial.Kastav is manned... however only during the mission for the Imperials to capture it.
I assume that its the same for imperial forts when playing as Stormcloaks.And that's why I've never seen it manned. I've never played Imperial.

Daenerys probably should notice that Tamriel city watch (who are commoners!) in most cities are outfitted like westeros knights.Soldiers in Tamriel fought on foot. Most wore light armor because they had to march on foot

This isn't something Daenerys would know; but most front-line Tamriel professional soldiers wear full-body steel-based armor which is on-par with what Westeros nobles do.
Soldiers in Tamriel fought on foot. Most wore light armor because they had to march on foot. A few wore heavy armor and trained to it, but not many.
Lol, I read way too much into that.I thought your house was simply new, or obscure, but if you were brought to Tamriel…" Aranea paused a moment, brow furrowed. "Are you from Atmora?"
Mental note: Learn the guys name before you meet him.General Tellus was probably under orders to capture and kill Ulfric Stormcloak if he could

No I meant the Aranea using the titles I just didn't have a great quote to use for that.What did you read into her wondering if Daenerys was from Atmora?
Dumb backwards ass Nords. Why the hell did they decide it was our fault.This is not new, but the people of Winterhold have recently been stirred up by rumors of a 'dragon witch' calling down dragons to attack caravans just outside the city.
Is that term used correctly? As I understood it novitiate was the period of your training in which you where a novice. However this happens multiple times over the update so I don't know if its a mistake or used in a sense that I'm not familiar with.

I do 3njoy this. I wonder 2hy it has been getting so little traffic.
This ain't even magic this is just "That foreign looking woman knew a suspicious amount about Dragons so it must be her fault." Followed by "If its her fault a dragon attacked the caravan then she must have used magic to do it, so she's a witch."Nords blame mages for just about everything. You don't understand something, it must be magic. Which means mages are responsible. The College of Winterhold trains mages, so they're guilty. Perfectly reasonable Nord logic, if you consider irrational distrust logic. This isn't even pick on Dany. This was probably the most likely outcome.
Novitiate means the course of study and the person. I went with it because it is the more archaic form, so I thought it sounded better for the setting.
I think theres a negative feedback loop where: the userfiction category on SV is less active than SB -> People check the userfiction category less and tend to reply on SB where they'll get more response -> the userfiction category on SV is less active than SB -> ...I've wondered that myself. I know a lot of people read Spacebattles as well, so that may be part of the reason, but the reaction has been disappointing both in terms of reactions and comments. As I haven't been getting complaints about the quality of my writing, I'm guessing that it is the concept. People either aren't interested in Daenerys as a protagonist, or aren't interested in crossovers to Skyrim.
Activity and Toxicity are often correlated. Easier to calm down and harder to get angry when there are long breaks between posts.Personally, I prefer the userfiction section on SV. It may be less active, but is also (according to my personal -read: unreliable - observation) way less toxic than SB's.
Well, I'm enjoying the story at least, but if I might be a little presumptuous, I would suggest using a utility like this to generate names. A breton named "Svagvor" hit me right in the hobby-linguist, as their names are almost French in the games, and Jaspik sort of made me flinch as well. I know I myself suck at making up names, so I would love to help with what I presume is pure agony for others as well.
Also, with regards to combining stamina and magicka into a single attribute, I don't really think that's a good idea. The nature of magicka is such that it flows from Aetherius through holes into Mundus. Some of those holes are stars, others might be weird and unnatural phenomena, and others fill mortal vessels with magicka. How much magicka you can hold is your magic capacity, and how fast it flows through is your recharge. This is almost wholly decided by your mind and soul (in gameplay terms, magicka capacity and regeneration are governed by willpower, intelligence and wisdom). High Elves are said to be closest kin to the Aedra themselves, and their racial blessing allows them to open their connection to Aetherius wide and pull through insane amounts of magicka for a while. This doesn't really help them catch their wind if thay run for a while.
My point is, magicka is something that flows through you, not something you generate from breaking down nutrients.
Anyway, I see now that this might come off as bitching, but that's not the case, it's just my inner TES nerd breaking out like a chatterbox chest burster. I really like your story, how it grants a good sense of scale that the games sorely lack, how Daenerys meditates upon the words, but doesn't collect them like stamps, how she identifies the most with yol, which is a nice bit of characterization, and how her magic springs from the fundemental understanding of the universe meditating deeply on the shouts give her. Also, I might suggest that shouts drain both magicka and stamina as it revolves around her expelling magicka from her body with physical effort, will and voice both shaping this fundamental force of the universe.
I'm not saying they shouldn't be fueled by magicka, I'm observing that to reduce spammability for less divine specimens than Talos himself, there should also be some physical effort to shouts. It's not just a river flowing through you, it's you stirring the river up into a rage and unleashing it upon your enemies. The mage shouts his breath away, and the warrior shouts his magicka away, and thus a mage can't roflstomp a warrior if their Thu'um is equal in all other respects.Shouts could themselves be considered a primal and instinctive form of Tonal Magic and why would we say that, that wouldn't be fueled by magika like other magi
Seems strange to base this argument on what is fundamentally game balance concerns.I'm not saying they shouldn't be fueled by magicka, I'm observing that to reduce spammability for less divine specimens than Talos himself, there should also be some physical effort to shouts.

It's also that since warriors with limited magical talent have been seen using the Thu'um, more than pure magical talent could play a role. I'm not instructing the author, nor am I speaking as some authority on the subject, I'm simply proposing a method to deal with the difference between magicka and fatigue, and how shouts could straddle the line a little if that made more sense from a doylist perspective. I'm not really arguing here, just having a little nerd moment speculating on stuff.Seems strange to base this argument on what is fundamentally game balance concerns.
