Online:Anjuld's Journal

I'm excited! I finally made my dream come true and   is now open. I worked for years at the family meadery while learning all about   and fashion before I could set up shop. And I waited for years for the perfect spot to open in my home town of  . Then months of readying the place and setting up my stock. Now I'm open for business.

I hope I can make this an ongoing concern. A family business, even. I hope father isn't disappointed that I chose the path of fashion over taking on mother's meadery. I can't live their life, after all. I need to live mine.

  
The first few weeks at the store have been a blur. People were interested in my clothing designs, and some even bought a few items! In fact, the high king's daughter ended up purchasing an outfit. She said something about how she'd be back, too, and to talk about some specific designs.

I heard from father about the meadery. They're doing well without me, which pleases me. Having a few nieces and nephews take over in my stead? Brilliance! Thank you, aunts and uncles.

  
One of my nieces,  , came by for the first-year anniversary of the tailor shop. She's always been the odd one of the bunch—more like me, perhaps. She asked if I'd ever thought about also selling  . To be honest, I'm not as interested in that, but accessories do make the outfit! Maybe, when she's older and I have more funds to put into the store, she can join me and set up a jewelry business here?

It's something to think about when the time comes to expand.

  
Pulled out this journal I'd started a few year's ago and realized that I'm terrible at keeping journals.

Something shifted in the last few months. I feel like someone's watching me whenever I leave my store. It's enough of a gut feeling that I don't think I'll ask Darie and her husband to come here after all. I have the funds for her to start up a jewelry business, but I don't feel like it's safe here in Solitude any more. Maybe I'll give it a few more months. In the meantime,   and I are talking about whether it's time for her to return to the meadery. She's been a great help here, but they might need another sword.

:"Whatever you might have heard, my name's Gell. Hard G. Just had a courier from who-knows-where mispronounce it again. Troll's blood, it's not that hard!"

:"Insulting the woman who might have lent him coin, right after asking for it … my master is an arse of the lowest order. I had to come here after he blamed me for that whole incident. He deserves to have more than mead thrown in his face!"

:"Perhaps if I just wish it hard enough, everyone in Solitude will magically become a better person. Even the one who accused me of waking him up by sending a bird to smash through his window! How would I even do that? The docks calm me down."

:"You're perceptive, but why should I tell you anything? No, I apologize. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. I … have reason to believe that someone is out to assassinate me."
:Why would someone assassinate you?
:"I may have crushed a family heirloom under a millstone last year. I'm here in Solitude now hoping to wait out the ire of said family. In my defense, it needed to be done. That thing was cursed."
:Cursed?
:"Simply put, it could have erased me from existence. I don't know more than that, but that was enough. To not reach Sovngarde …. I'd rather die at the hands of an assassin than to have never existed. Now, apologies, but I should get back to my day."''

:"The mystery author Yvonna Graymoth knows a lot about vampires. I do, too, but that's because my family dealt with them a few generations ago. My weapons—the ones you can see anyway—are not only for show. Vampires can be nasty."

Dialogue

:''"I'm not sure if you're aware of the Way of the Voice. The Nords don't discuss it much with outsiders. The thu'um, or Voice, is a Nord form of magic. The Way involves some concept of "true need." I'm still trying to understand what that means."

:"After spending time here in Solitude learning more about Nord stone art, I hope to find Blackreach someday. The Dwemer called it Fal'Zhardum Din. Saying that name took less practice than many other Dwemer place names. Give it a try."''

:''"Having traveled through many Nord holds, including those within Jorunn's grasp, I can say with some authority that Solitude contains the most knowledge-free bunch of folk I've ever met. Though those in Morthal, with their rustic charms, come close."

:"Did you know that some of the locals keep a bowl of saltwater just inside their doorway to capture any wandering spirits from the Sea of Ghosts? Such an odd custom. None have allowed me to examine these bowls, unfortunately."

:"The Mages Guild members here seek knowledge of the Dragon burial mounds. I went out to visit one recently, as did several others. We each visited a different site. I'm the only one who returned. I'm … not sure what to make of that."

Quest-Related Events
If you are not on the related quest, she gives you some words of wisdom.
:"The history of Skyrim is a perilous one. Never forget that."

If you speak to her while on the related quest, she says:
:''"The problem with searching for the truth is sometimes you find it. We're too quick to dismiss our old legends as colorful superstition. They're meant to be warnings. We should listen to them."
:Hidaver said you could tell me about the Shademother.
:"She found someone? I didn't think there was anyone left in Solitude who won't flinch at the merest suggestion of magic. Fighting the Shademother won't be as simple as slaying your typical hagraven, if there is such a thing. She's far more powerful."
:Can you tell me anything that'll help me defeat her?
:"According to the legends, her mastery of life and death is absolute. She bends nature to her will and she feasts on the land itself to sustain her power. The clever woman I consulted said that the Shademother's magic is akin to necromancy."
:Clever woman?
::"Sorry, it's a bit archaic. A Nord mage who follows the old ways. Old Mjolen is a bit of a legend herself in these parts. She was the one who created the cleansing mixture you were given to purify the Shademother's corruption."
::I'll put it to good use.
:Do you mean Old Mjolen?
::"Oh, you've heard of her? I suppose she is something of a legend of her own right. Nords who dabble in the old ways are a dying breed. She made the cleansing mixture you were given to purify the Shademother's corruption. I trust it'll do as she says."
::I'll put it to good use.'''

If you speak to her again at this point, she'll say:
:''"The sagas of Skyrim are our histories. People tend to forget that simply because they're more lively than dry, old Imperial texts."

After defeating the Shademother:
:"Things like the Shademother make me hope that my next subject for research turns out to be pure fiction."''

Dialogue
She talks about the city and why she's here.
:''"The only reason I'm here in Solitude is penance. I was a bit … quick to use fire against someone who turned out to be a fellow student. Now? I must find all the recipes for healing burns in Tamriel and bring them home, no matter how long it takes."

:"I hope you didn't come from the Eastern kingdoms of the Nords. If you did, you might consider keeping that to yourself. To say the Nords of Solitude disdain Jorunn is an understatement."

:"I'd stay back from me, were I you. I tried to make a fungus-based healing unguent using a recipe I found in the Bards College. I'm seeing smells right now. Makes getting around hard."''

Dialogue
He is looking for his sister.
:''"Ziss! This one did not expect to find Nords so unwilling to take coin for information! Ilazun fears that even in the brightest of moons' light, darkness festers and rots what passes for good here among the Solitude city folk."

:"Ilazun is disappointed in these Solitude Nords. No empathy for one seeking his lost sister. Baandari this one might be, but Ilazun deserves basic respect even while among these strangers!"

:"This one knows that many people are lost throughout Skyrim, yet Ilazun must focus on his own search for his sister. Whispers of a place called Blackreach have reached Ilazun's ears, so he goes there next—if he can find it."''

Dialogue
When spoken with she will explain some things about Mara's worship if asked.
:''"Superstition thrives here in my birth-city of Solitude. Many look to misguided beliefs instead of the guidance of the Divines in these dark days. Let's hope the future brings more light."
:Are you a priest from the Temple of the Divines?
:"Yes, I am. And while I revere all the Divines and can provide their blessings, my focus right now is Mara due to some confusion that seems to muddle the worship of her here in Solitude."
:What's the confusion?
:"Some believe that they must marry another as part of the natural progression of life. That to be part of this community fully, they must find another, marry, and have children. Yet Mara recognizes that not all need to follow this path."
:You're saying that not everyone needs to be married?
:"Exactly. To marry due to tradition or superstitions? To fulfill a hope of being made whole by another? Never. Enduring love must exist between two whole individuals.  The topic is more nuanced, but I must finish my walk. Mara's warmth be with you."''

Dialogue
He seems a bit worried.
:"Arkay, preserve us from the terrible fate lurking below us."

You can ask him about the job after accepting his task from Hidaver
:''"That's the anointed relic given to the Swords of Solitude, is it not? You have my blessings. May Arkay defend you from those vampires and smite them to dust."
:Tell me what you know about these vampires.
:"These aren't vampires of the sort that trouble most holds. These are horrid creatures vomited up from Blackreach. Some are shriveled, beastly things. Others are hulking monsters unrecognizable as Man or Mer. They are numerous and terrible."
:How do you know they're from Blackreach?
:"I made the mistake of venturing there as chaplain to a mining company. They found that dank, dark place and settled, but I had to leave after what I witnessed down there. Someone has to stop these vampires' slaughter."
:How do I make use of this anointed relic?
:"That, at least, will be simple. Simply hold it before the fallen victims and pray for Arkay to deliver them from evil. It will consecrate the remains and release any lingering spirits from this world."
:I can handle that.

If you speak to him again at this point, he says:
:"I don't envy you. The things I saw in that charnel pit will linger with me the rest of my life. I'll pray for your safe return."

After accepting the quest:
:"You are doing the   work. Deliver their light   deepest reaches of this world."''
