Arondil ' s Journal Arondil ' s Journal is a series of journals relating to Arondil and his experiments inside Yngvild . Content . Arondil ' s Journal , Part 1 . Day 1 It seems the cretins of Dawnstar are not quite foolish as I had surmised . They found my experimentations , and needless to say , were not pleased with what they saw . No matter . My work can only flourish without the distractions of living amongst the unenlightened . I have found a cave off the north coast of Skyrim that will be more than sufficient for my continued studies . The ruins of Yngvild should hold the materials I need to learn more about reanimating and enslaving the dead . On a personal note , I WILL miss the young maidens of Dawnstar . Such beauty was intoxication . I often found my thoughts wandering around them , imagining secret encounters between myself and one or two of the local girls . . . Arondil ' s Journal , Part 2 . Arondil ' s Journal Day 8 I have established a temporary work station in the cold caves , and have found multiple burial chambers within the snow and ice . While in the first chamber , I exhumed a few ' test subjects , ' all female . I was stunned to find my mind wandering again to the women of Dawnstar as I examine my find . At first , I was slightly disturbed by my thoughts , but later I found myself reevaluating . . . Day 9 The first trials went splendidly . Each subject was reanimated in a state of total complacency , bending to my every task and whim . I have ordered a few of my new servants to guard the island , while the rest will act as my personal entourage , standing by me at all times . Standing watch over me while I sleep . . . Arondil ' s Journal , Part 3 . Arondil ' s Journal Day 21 An intriguing development . Tonight , my guards have brought me a trespasser they found near the cave . At first I was understandably upset . Not only was I disturbed during one of my few moments alone with my favorite servant , but I recognized the trespasser as a milk maid from Dawnstar . She remembered me , as well , and made bold claims that I had been lurking near her at all hours . What lies ! True , I had taken notice of her on occasion , but she was nowhere near the most noticeable of maidens in town . Her continued accusations , coupled with my fear of more uninvited guests , led me to conclude that she could never return to Dawnstar . My servants were quick to carry out my sentencing . Her body is here next to me , as I write this . Funny . Her eyes are still so full of life . Perhaps I will try a new experiment tonight , using fresher materials . Arondil ' s Journal , Part 4 . Arondil ' s Journal Day 28 The new experiment has proven a success ! The milk maid ( name still escapes me ) was revived as the others , bowing to my commands , with only one interesting development . She has reformed incorporeally , more phantasm than reanimated dead . As her glowing visage stood before me , I found my hand reaching out to touch her . As my fingers passed through her , I felt a sensation unlike any other , as if her essence were invigorating my very soul , connecting with me on a level no woman of flesh and blood could do . This discovery is life changing ! Day 35 I have ordered my older servants to go out and find any more subjects that may have become lost . With the discovery of the inner sanctum deeper still within Yngvild , I should have sufficient room to store many new materials until I can transform them into willing slaves . I look back on my daydreams whilst living in Dawnstar and wonder if they were in fact portents of times to come . . .
