Mead Before Medora |08| The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall [Unity]
1Six days into this magical sabbatical, and already I feel the walls closing in.
Medora Direnni — sorceress supreme, mistress of misty towers and moon-silver riddles — sends me off to wait. Not fight, not find, not even flee. Just… wait. While she fusses over her Dust of Restful Death like a royal chef seasoning a ghostly casserole.
And where do I end up? Holed up in a flea-bitten Sentinel inn with a pillow like a brick and a bedbug named Clovis who won’t stop biting my knuckles.
Each sunrise mocks me. I’m a knight of no court, a mage with no scroll, a hero with no quest. The tavernfolk prattle on about crops and cousins and the price of dates, while I sip my seventh Sujamma and stare into the void of my own idleness.
Have I peaked? Is this the apex of my tale — me, drunk, alone, surrounded by the flatulent chorus of commonfolk?
Or is it the calm before the real storm? Has fate taken a breath so it can scream louder?
I don’t know. But I do know this: if Medora’s dust doesn’t start glowing soon, I’ll storm Direnni Tower myself — and she can sprinkle the remains of me on Lysandus and call it even.

Welcome to the gaping maw of procedural madness, where ambition outpaced technology and Bethesda dared to simulate an entire empire with the power of a potato. The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall isn't just a game. It’s a fever dream coded in DOS, where every peasant might be a demon, every dungeon stretches into the abyss, and fast travel feels more like astral projection. Here, we wander a pixelated Iliac Bay not for glory, but to make sense of the sprawling nonsense Lord Septim dumped on our lap. Grab a torch, a save file, and your sense of irony... we ride at dusk, and probably through a wall.
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. Let’s overdose.
