Soooo I may have just added to another one of my Oc's lore.
Again.
While I'm supposed to be writing about Vyeshna.
Anyways, yeah Marina is part Nord and part Altmer, in addition to her like 80% Bosmer blood. Gotta think of how a conversation about her Altmeri blood would go over with Cary, and Tally come to think of it. Hmm...

Here is my werewolf lore post. It is a mix of canon Elder Scrolls lore + my own headcanon/additions. I’ve developed it over the course of 3-ish years for my Dragonborn’s story.
The design for Hircine is also my own creation. This is also a basic overview, lots of this stuff has more development. But I needed to make the text legible,

Currently trying to figure out The Temple of Dibella quest.
Why did the Forsworn kidnap the Sybil of Dibella?
Did the Forsworn know she was the Sybil of Dibella or did they just happen to bring her to what looks like a desecrated shrine of Dibella?
Why is there a shrine of Dibella in this fort?
Why are her parents Breton while she's marked as a nord? (I'm assuming this is just because they don't have the option to make non-nord child, but you can never tell what's a bug and what's a feature with Skyrim)
Considering how prevalent Dibella is in the region of Markarth (the temple, the desecrated shrine, the altar on the road to Markarth, and the Sybil also being from The Reach) in the grander historical context it seems like Dibella holds some significance to the nords in this region, and maybe even the Bretons? Which is such an interesting idea considering the Forsworn/Reachmen worship daedric princes.
Maybe the Bretons somehow began worshipping Dibella in some way, leading to a split between traditional Reachmen who worshipped mostly daedric princes led by Hircine, and more Imperial/Nordic influenced Reachmen who had a more blended pantheon (similar to cultures like the old Nords and the Khajiits), led by Dibella. A more blended religion was probably favorable to the Reachmen when they retook the Reach, who were still attempting to co-exist with the Nords (because you know the nords would have been waaay more violent if the Reachmen tried to make daedra worship as common as it seems to be in the Forsworn tribes).
Or perhaps Dibella provided the Nords with some kind of favor to overthrow the Reachmen the first time around. Maybe Dibellan worshippers were able to act as spies or somehow provided the Nord warriors plotting to take back the Reach with some sort of advantage, and in exchange Dibella was worshipped more commonly in the Reach.
Either way, there seems to be some plot threads here that a better RPG would have turned into a fully fledged story, but in true Bethesda fashion it was left as bare bones context clues for most people to go "oh that's neat" and for my autistic hyperfixated ass to go "WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN??"
Ah Skyrim, my love-hate relationship with you continues on, as strong as ever.

Fixing Delphine
This bitch.
I actually like that they made a character that is on your side but is somewhat unlikable, Delphine is Team Dragonborn, but she's not really one of the good guys. And that's cool, conflict means drama. So what's the problem? Well unfortunately, this drama is surface level and isn't used to drive the story, so It's kind of just annoying.
People oversimplify their hatred of Delphine into "She wants you to kill Paarthurnax," because unlike Delphine, people actually like Paarthurnax. Understandable, but barely scratches the surface. We'll get to The Paarthurnax Dilemma in time, but that quest is a symptom, not the illness itself.
If I could sum up Delphine in a word it would be "inconsistent." For example, she's a fugitive waging a one woman war on the Thalmor from the shadows, who's only survived this long from sheer paranoia - but she also uses her real name and leaves a note in Ustengrav for whoever happens to pick it up with directions and a pass word to her secret hide out.
She needs to go through her super secret contact Farengar to use the Jarl's resources to go into Bleak Falls Barrow, a tutorial level dungeon she can see from her house, and she's impressed that you did it - but she also goes personally to the other side of the country to delve alone into the massive Ustengrav to steal the Horn of Jurgan Windcaller, no issues, just a quick in and out twenty minute adventure.
She takes the fact that you found her Ustengrav note as proof you're the Greybeard's new guy and not some Thalmor plant even though she herself, a non Dragonborn, had also completed Ustengrav and taken the horn proving it's totally possible. She even points this out in her own dialogue then demands we prove who we are, even though that was the whole point of the Ustengrav note. It's also a pretty big assumption that just because I'm the guy the Greybeards call Dragonborn that I can't ALSO be with the Thalmor.
We are left with this awkward sense that the writers are flailing to make us think this woman is competent and objective, without actually having her do anything that clever. Just act like the dumb thing was smart and have her act like a cocky brat if questioned about it.
Inconsistency. It's her thing. Does she hate the Thalmor? That would make sense given what we know about her. But that gets dropped half way through the main story and suddenly she hates The Greybeards, for absolutely no reason at all. She gives a reason, but it's bullshit.
In her own words, "If the greybeards had their way, the dragonborn would sit on a mountain talking to the sky." But that's not true is it. We know The Greybeards, they encouraged us to fulfill our destiny. Even if you say you want to follow their Way of the Voice, they'll be glad to hear it but warn you not to let it get in the way of what needs to be done. Delphine even uses Tiber Septim as an example, which is even stupider because The Greybeards actively encouraged Tiber to conquer Tamriel. Have I read more in game books than the dialogue writers??
But that's not the end of it, when it becomes convenient for the plot this hatred is flipped once again from The Greybeards onto dragons. Not Alduin. All dragons. Despite the fact that, as a Blade, she should know about Nafaalilargus, a dragon ally of the Empire and the Blades for thousands of years, and the Blades don't just indiscriminately kill all dragons no matter the circumstances, and that Tiber Septim himself almost certainly met Paarthurnax at some point, she suddenly seems to be acting like she has a personal grudge against dragons. Which brings us to the Paarthurnax Dilemma...
See here's the thing, you could easily write off the frustration everyone feels towards this quest as Bethesda's crappy design, where there is no conclusion other than to kill Paarthurnax, or else leave an unfinished quest languishing in the menu. Bethesda apparently didn't consider the idea that anybody would actually prefer to turn on the Blades, even though the Blades have become a bit of a running joke among the fans, or that anyone would take umbrage with Delphine giving out orders and ultimatums.
But no, it's so much worse than that. Delphine being a surly unlikable c u n t from the day we met her is one thing, but the fact that she has been wrong about almost everything she's ever said in game, and still having the AUDACITY to treat us like her work bitch and us never, not once, getting the opportunity to put her in her place... That's not poor quest design, that's the game gaslighting us.
Let's do a quick list of every one of Delphine's theories, and how many were actually correct shall we:
You are not the Dragonborn ❌
The Greybeards shouldn't be trusted to identify a Dragonborn ❌
The dragons aren't just coming back, they're coming back to life ✅
The Thalmor have something to do with the dragons returning ❌
Esbern is dead ❌
The Greybeards just want the Dragonborn to sit on a mountain and meditate ❌
The Greybeards wanted Tiber Septim to just sit on a mountain and meditate ❌
Paarthurnax, having lived in exile for thousands of years, deserves corporal punishment ❌
As ACTING Grand Master of the Blades, she gets to boss around the Dragonborn ❌
She deserves a seat at the peace negotiations ❌
And these are just the things that are factually wrong, leaving aside opinions on her morality and shitty attitude. This is the woman the game presents to us as a shrewd strategist.
BUT I CAN FIX HER!
Like I said I like the idea of a character who is on your side but is somewhat unlikable. It actually won't take much to make Delphine endearing to the fans. We have to do a Boromir on her. A Lot of people dislike Boromir throughout the Fellowship of the Ring but weep at his death. We have to tweak three things to have the same thing happen to Delphine:
1. Make her actually competent and useful so that while we don't agree with her we can see why she does the things she does, and desire to keep her around.
2. Have her mistakes called out and have consequences.
3. Have her redeem her mistakes with a badass honourable death.

A word on Grazelandic Nix-Hound
—Grazelands is savannah-like expanse of rolling hills, Acacia trees and endless pastures of wild wheat (called Wickwheat), which to the smaller creatures (kwama, rats and nix-hounds) provide much-needed concealment from larger saurians. Widespread of wheat gives landscape its characteristic colours, and the local wildlife follows in step with its palette of tan browns and sun-scorched greens, molting in time with the cycle of plant's ripening. This is why Grazelandic nix hounds are not dark green like their Bittercoast cousins but—depending on the season— have carapaces of ochre,tan and beige colours. Also their paws are not as large and they are not known to swim—probably due to cliff racers swarming the crag-ridden coast.
Nix-hound in the picture is Scuttler, OC of @jenarion.

I enjoy your gay argonians.
'This "love letter" has the same aura as the threatening letters I drafted for the Dark Brotherhood, in that it is unsigned.'
-- Stops-His-Heart, after reading your letter; a look of curiosity is on his face, mingled with a small smile of contentment

🐶 “How's the moon sugar, little pal?”
🐰 “Sugary and moon-y! Like you on a Friday night. How's the shein?”
🐶 “Like a cranberry wine if the sweetness was me at a family gathering.”
🐰 “Distant and filled up on mediocre petit fours?”
🐶 “What a liver punch.”
-
Featuring my favorite medias - Elder Scrolls and Sam and Max - combining because what else should an artist do besides be self indulgent; Max on moon sugar wearing a Colovian fur helm, Sam on shein, and Elliott on sujamma bar duty. Happy holidays folks

Smithing, Alchemy, and Enchanting
Here's the part where I show you how I'm able to make such op stuff. While there are some modded things involved, this process is still possible in vanilla.
This whole thing will be below a read more because it's gonna get long. I highly encourage you to give it a look!
Let's start with my smithing gear~
You'll notice in the container inventory is Ahzidal's armor set, which when worn in its entirety gives a buff called Ahzidal's Genius that gives a 10 point buff to enchanting.
Next is alchemy.
You'll notice there are some arbitrary enchantments on these, that's mostly because some enchantments can be done on certain pieces of equipment and not others so I'm just filling the second slot with whatever.
Another thing is that there is no Fortify Enchanting enchantment and there is no Fortify Alchemy alchemical property, so you have to flip flop between the two to improve the two.
You start by equipping Ahzidal's gear and making a full set of items with alchemy buffs. Then you equip all that and make fortify enchanting potions with the strongest materials possible. Drink a potion, reequip Ahzidal, enchant some more that's stronger. Equip the new stuff, rinse, repeat.
Eventually you get gear like what I have shown AND
Potions like this~
Next thing you know, all your spells are 100% free, your weapons instakill, and you're basically impervious to damage. Fun stuff!
