think I’m almost done deciding when serana gets bank chuted w her elder scroll, sometime between 1E 2331 and 1E 2703, the end and beginning times of the alessian and reman empires, bc the main hangup in figuring out when that happens is her line of “cyrodiil’s the seat of an empire?” when you wake her up. I decided against it happening during the interregnum in the 2E, bc while Cyrodiil doesn’t have a solid cohesive empire at that time, it still was kkkkkkkind of an empire? it was nominally an empire (the empire of Cyrodiil) so I decided against it, and then that segways right into Tiber septim septiming all over the place into the 3rd era, so 1E it is. Considered before the Alessian Empire, but that began 1E 243 and for the sake of keeping the story relatively cohesive (for perspective, the Dwemer getting thanos snapped and chimer->dunmer happened around 1E 700, and the yokudans began sailing en masse for Tamriel in 1E 792), and I initially didn’t want serana to be so violently out of the loop... I was gonna save that level of dissonance for a potential miraak doesn’t die in apocrypha arc but the ideas been growing on me. Like a fungus. ALSO, re: language: I don’t care what the official lore (or at least uesp) says there’s no way all of tamriel was using high elvish for legal documents continent-wide, serana would speak primarily old Nordic either way, but at least with the Alessian empire having already happened it makes sense if she at least spoke a little bit of old cyrodilic ……… but also very early 1E serana so. Hm.

“Huge lightning bolt in Kangiqsujuaq yesterday [on July 4, 2023] photographed by Natasha Irniq, followed by loud thunder! ᐊᖏᔪᖅ ᖃᐅᒻᒪᓚᒃ ᑲᖏᕐᓱᔪᐊᒥ ᐃᑉᐸᓴᖅ ᐊᑦᔨᓕᐊᕕᓂᖅ ᓇᑖᓴ ᐃᕐᓂᒧᑦ, ᑭᖑᓂᐊᒍᑦ ᓂᐸᕆᑦᑐᕕᓂᖅ” --Alec Gordon/CBC Tuttavik

Here are both unedited shots from the photographer’s original FB post: 

Natasha Irniq:  Wow  kallialukainatuq

Also on FB is a link to her video of the event.  

Here’s an interview from CBC Tuttavik aired on July 5, 2023. 

And finally here is a reddit thread in which a theory is discussed that most likely explains this as an optical camera effect caused by its horizontally rolling shutter.

oc: Sulana, Nord, TESV Skyrim

A Nord bounty hunter from Kynesgrove. After losing one of her arms, Dwemer Scholar Winlyn fashioned her a new arm out of Dwemer metal. In return, Sulana became the researcher's body guard.

She was soon captured by the Thalmor and separated from Winlyn due to her support for Talos. Imprisoned and half-dead, she was mieaculously able to awaken the power of The Voice. She fought her way to freedom with the other prisoners.

Another one! This is my Nord Skyrim oc, or otherwise the Dragonborn of my oc canon, Sulana! (some Winlyn lore in here as well cuz the two of them are like one unit lol)

(For context, I sort of divided several aspects/guilds/questlines of the game to be done by different ocs so that I'm not dealing with 5 different Dragonborns.)

Game-wise, I use her when I wanna adventure with Lucien Flavius or Remiel - also used her for a stormcloak run, but that's not entirely her stance on the conflict.

This post goes together with my art blog post here. I can't really get the most accurate vision of her in the game because I can't find a good dwemer prosthetic arm mod or solid curly hair mods or bandages mods or-

er well anyway, the point is that I tried lol

Lore:

A Nord orphan-made-warrior raised in Kynesgrove. She made a name for herself as a bounty hunter across Eastmarch and The Pale. During one of her adventures, she ran into Winlyn - literally. Well, more like Winlyn tackled her while running away from something she encountered in some Dwemer ruin.

Young and cocky, Sulana offered to clear the ruin for her, unaware of the dangers that are dwarven automatons. Winlyn's previous guide perished in that same ruin, but her warnings fell on deaf ears as Sulana expertly cleaved through the lesser constructs. That is, until a colossal Dwarven Centurion attacked them. Narrowly surviving with a missing arm, suddenly she felt herself be overcome with a mysterious strength, and was able to take the Centurion out.

Healing from her injuries took a significant amount of time, Winlyn used her knowledge of Dwarven technology to salvage and fashion a prosthetic arm for Sulana. Thankful for her help, Sulana would agree to continue protecting Winlyn (but she actually also developed an interest in all the cool thing Win would tell her about historical artifacts :D)

Feats of the duo reached the ears of the Thalmor, Sulana who had implications with Talos and they suspected to be a threat, and Winlyn who was digging up secrets mere men should not know. While they explored another ruin, the Thalmor took advantage of the environment to separate them, trapping Winlyn under a cave-in and leaving Sulana vulnerable to an ambush.

Prisoner to the Thalmor, she endured torturous days at their mercy, but she would not give up. When she was sure they would end her for good, she felt that similar power surge through her and she let out her first shout, weakening her captors. Uniting forces with the other prisoners, she would eventually overpower the Thalmor and escape. They become her new traveling companions for the time being.

She has no idea whether or not Winlyn still lives, but she dares not lose hope. She will find her, whether she must unearth every dwarven ruin possible.

If this reminds you a bit of Civil War, there’s a good reason for that...
