Maeara's Journal: Day 38, A walk along the coast.
9 years ago
General
After a couple of days of cleaning, organizing and proper decorating under my belt, I decided to take something of a wander and see what exactly my holdings include. Of course there's the house itself, including an entry hall and the main hall. There's my stable, my animal pen, my garden. All nice. A fish farm, which I'll find some use for, smithing and tanning goods as well, which will also be truly helpful...And a lot of empty land.
The view of the ice-strewn bay and looming Solitude in the distance is breathtaking, and if not for the fact that I'd been attacked by some crazy woman a couple of days ago I would have said it was quite peaceful. The land northward from my new home seems to be mostly empty beach and scrub, though. I suppose I can have a look and see what there is to find there, at least. Who knows? Maybe I'll surprise myself.

Well, THAT was a shocking development! I found out that there are two full shipwrecks right off the coast to the North, and if I look far to the east, assuming the weather is clear, I can spot Dawnstar! I've never been to Dawnstar, but I've heard of it. A cold, mining-heavy town with a deep trough port that allows larger ships ease of access. Not exactly a strategic stronghold, but I understand the Jarl there is a Stormcloak through and through...The citizens, not so much.
I feel somehow compelled to wander that way and see what's what. Maybe there are new adventures to be found? Or maybe just a bit of business I can enjoy. I'm finding trading for goods for my new home to be quite fun, actually. Plus, I've found that I've taken a liking to playing my Lute, and I'm improving. Maybe I could play the Bard and stop by the Dawnstar inn for a spell, play a few songs and have a few drinks? It never hurts to make connections!
Now if only the damned bite on my arm would stop smarting so much. It itches so, especially at night for some reason.

Dun-dun-dun!
I'm somewhat surprised there was no vampire bite during the vampire cave cleanse quest. Always seems when I have a character I don't want to be a vampire, they contract Sanguinare Vampiris from the second vampire they run through with their greatsword. Conversely, when I want a character to become a vampire, it doesn't seem to matter how many vampires I hunt down, I can't contract it until I start the Dawnguard quest line.
Still, for the time being, your journals give me an opportunity to live Skyrim vicariously through you. I might start my own, similar journals once I have it on my Xbone.
