[lillxart]

I had to do it before someone else did

in love with the idea of the db's followers being as remembered in history as the db themself. imagine:

engineers, for generations, mumbling the formula called 'Remiel's Constant' under their breaths as they develop machinery, because it's such a foundational discovery on Remiel's part for a new age of engineering

in contrast, future alchemists agonizing over Xelzaz' thousands of alchemical discoveries a night before their finals, bemoaning why he was so diligent in cranking out formula after formula because now they have so much to memorize

historians and casual history buffs alike locked in discourse on whether or not the last prince of the Thalmor actually colluded with the Dragonborn in the Second Great War to help bring down the Dominion, with vaguely-worded correspondence for evidence

adaptations of the tale where every single follower is at least someone's 'blorbo'

the ballad of Inigo the Brave being a cultural touchstone for Khajiit rep and spawning Tamriel's version of the rogue, underdog hero archetype. even when it's a totally fictional work, if the protagonist (or charming side character) is weirdly charismatic, roguishly handsome, and with a heart of gold, chances are the creator was inspired by Inigo's legacy.

the massive misunderstandings of the dragonborn's original history. Thanks to anti-Thalmor sentiments long after the Second Great War, Nebarra was deemed as a traitor figure to the Dragonborn, but this sentiment was overturned centuries after uncovering contemporaries' journal entries on their friendship

when you ask someone who they think Sir Kaidan was to the dragonborn, there's an equal chance of them firmly believing he was their lover, platonic best friend, or loyal but professional lieutenant. they will have reams of evidence to back it up, no matter which stance they take.

many who have felt that they never perfectly fit into the demands of their faith or community, not just bosmer, resonating with Auri's story. realizing that while they may be an outlier in their own eyes, they can still do a lot of good in the world, and that has to count for something.

common sayings based on (real or not) stories of the followers. if a place is crowded, it's common to joke, "guess the dragonborn's in town."

just. yeah.

hello nebarra fandom

God dammit

Ema-san, who translated Nebarra's lines into Japanese, said, "It would be nice if Nebarra could use his fists when he can't push through with his sword. Because he must have learned how to fight on the battlefield." I thought that was a great idea, so I couldn't help but draw it!

I managed to trigger a bit of of semi-rare neb dialogue and screenshotted most of it! Spoilers! (I guess? This isn't some huge plot revelation but I figured I'd warn you anyway) How I got it: I did the writer's quest (not sure if it's required), then stood around the inn walking around after putting Nebarra next to his table, he stood up, and this triggered

People who use custom followers in Skyrim, how do you manage having 6 or 7 following you around? I'm trying it out because I want to do a 100% playthrough with everyone soon, and I feel like I'm an exhausted preschool teacher leading around a class on a really messed up field trip.

-I have to always keep an eye on Lucien because he doesn't have a summoning spell if I lose him.

-Khash is always a mile behind whenever I look back to check on everyone, so I have to wait for her to catch up.

-Caryalind is always trailing behind, though not as far behind as Khash. He's actually not too difficult to deal with.

-Gore is pretty easy to manage because he pops behind me all the time. But he has a habit of knocking into me and throwing off my bow aim. Sometimes he even pops in front of me and gets shot, making me reload because I can't take the guilt of shooting him.

-Indigo is a mixed bag. Sometimes he keeps close, but other times I'll hear Lucien call back to him and find him jogging in the distance with Khash. Sometimes he'll knock into me as he runs ahead of the whole group. He's like the kid who gets easily distracted and overly excited.

-Taliesin can sometimes get stuck across a river, but it's easy to keep his summoning spell equipped since it's a power, not a spell. I just feel really guilty when I use it since he made a point of how much it hurts. Sometimes I'll also realize he's been stuck sneaking for like 10 minutes after we've all gotten up. Luckily he's louder, so I always hear everything he says.

-And Nebarra is the really quiet, easy to manage kid who ends up getting ignored. I'll hear him whispering something and I have to keep running back so I can actually hear his dialogue. I feel bad about it because I was that kid.

I really wish there was a mod for one of those ropes with the plastic rainbow rings so everyone would hold on and not get lost. I would put Nebarra in front so I could actually hear him. I think Taliesin would enjoy being the person in back who loudly tattles whenever anyone lets go. But like not in a "Mx. DB, Gore let go" kind of way. More like in a smug, indirect way.

Imagine walking out of your room and being greeted by three hot sassy altmer all at once

[totally-not-deacon]

I call this the "Please Get Therapy" Party :)

An 8000 year old God's guide on how to take care of Nebarra! Hope you enjoy!

Snow White or even Lorkir has never travelled with Kaiden, Lucien, Auri, Inigo, or Gore. So she doesn't actually know what they are like, but this is a general guide so I included them for some follower fluff! Credit to Fridams Nebarra replacer, and BiR's Nebarra replacer for use of designs.

tagging @fujisakisan because I kind of used your interpretation of Nebarra for that one panel personality wise on page 6.

tagging @ridreamir for their Nebarra design as well on page 6.

LDB:"So...who put the dead scorpion in Nebarra's boot? I'm not mad, I just wanna know."

Secunda:"I did. I put the dead scorpion in Nebarra's boot."

LDB:"No. You didn't...Remi?"

Remi:"Don't look at me,look at Gore."

Gore:"What? I didn't put a scorpion in there."

Remi:"Huh, that's weird, then how'd you know there was a scorpion in Nebarra's boot?"

Gore:"Because the boot is sitting right in front of us...and there's a dead scorpion."

Remi:"Suspicious."

Gore:"No, it's not."

Nebarra:"If it matters,probably not, but Xelzaz was the last one to fall asleep last night. He's always trying to poison me in some way."

Xelzaz:"LIAR! I've never tried to poison you!"

Nebarra:"Oh really then what did I see you mixing last night?!?"

Xelzaz:"I was prepping health potions for the next day as I do every night, everyone knows that!"

Secunda:"Okay let's not fight, I put the scorpion in his boot, let me take the blame."

LDB:"No! Who put the scorpion in his boot!?!"

Gore:"Sister, I just want to point out that Taliesin has been really quiet..."

Taliesin:"REALLY?!?"

*everyone starts arguing*

LDB to Auri,Kaidan,Inigo and Lucien:"I did it. I got tired of the subtle jabs and just wanted everyone to get it out of their system."

[dynamite124]

I am such a fool...

Maybe I'm just blind or I'm always on always on a hill, but no, I am a fool to not notice this... Nebarra is a short king.
