Well, recruit? Do you have that dog in you?

[mujinzzzzz]

i have over 2,000 hours in skyrim and im just now learning you can tell all of the companions about skjor's death ??? have you always been able to ??? this is sad hello ??

[somemaycallthisjunk]

Ah yes, the inner Circle of the Companions.

Vilkas, Farkas, Kodlak, Skjor, Aela, and Pigeon

Do you ever think about what mornings in Jorrvaskr are like?

Because I do. I really do.

this is random but i wanted to see a young kodlak. i initially gave him dark hair but i think the blonde suits him a little better. i assume his hair is white due to age, but if it was always white then actually that's amazing. and i know young men can have long beards but i gave him a shorter one since it's different. and i'm also not sure when he received his scar so i just put it on him. and i'm also still not sure if the warpaint is actually just paint or a permanent tattoo (i flip between these two ideas) so i just included it.

Kodlak, for the character opinion thing!

first impression: Another wise old mentor.

impression now: Not so wise. He's retreated into a shell and lets Aela and Skjor throw their weight around too much while he ponders his immortal destiny. This may be the result of some game development weirdness. The Prima Skyrim game guide says he contracted the Rot and his condition is going downhill quickly. If we accept he's ill and weakening in his room, that would explain a lot. (Though, can werewolves contract the rot?)

favourite moment: The chilling account of his dream in his dialogue, of being dragged away from Sovngarde.

idea for a story: Not explored at all in game, it's intriguing to me whatever is going on between Vignar and Kodlak, who are both old school members of the Companions, steeped in the old lore and history. Vignar has stayed out of the werewolf stuff and the Circle, and Kodlak hasn't. Vignar has chosen a side in political landscape of Skyrim and Kodlak stays neutral. Kodlak welcomes you into the Companions. Vignar suggests you don't get involved with them.

Does Vignar know about the werewolves? He's been around a long time, albeit with a career away from Whiterun in the Legion for years. This would be a fascinating relationship to flesh out. All we have in game is that Kodlak's ghost says, "You see only me because your heart knows only me as the Companions leader. I'd wager old Vignar could see half a dozen of my predecessors."

I don't know exactly what tack I'd take with them, but there's meat for a story there.

unpopular opinion: Well, I already said in my Athis ask that the Circle are incredibly selfish and Kodlak took part in that farce of a honourable tradition for a long while. I wonder if he feels guilty about how deceived his fellow warriors, as well as guilty about the taint on his soul.

Killing the Glenmoril witches to save your soul from a deal you yourself made with Hircine is morally questionable, to say the least. Maybe they were also an incredibly evil threat that needed killing, but the game doesn't go into it. I don't btw think this is bad characterization, I do like the desperation as time runs out.

favourite relationship: Vilkas and Kodlak's trust is touching.

favourite headcanon: He knew Krev the Skinner once.

I brought you an illustration that I did for Skyrim Zine! Here is my favorite Skyrim guild - The Companions. The poster depicts the moment of the attack on Jorrvaskr: the guys are standing in fighting stances, blood is flowing down the steps, and the main building rises in the background. The number of stars matches the number of Companions themselves, and the full moon refers to their wolfish nature.

Little Farkas: Can we have a birthday cake?

Kodlak Whitemane: It's not your birthday.

Little Vilkas: The cake won't know.
