Sorry lmao accidentally became invested in my parody Irken Sona and made her an actual character with her little garbage helper co-workers.

She works in the garbage chute for The Massive searching for redemption coupons and tokens that may have been thrown away-

And obviously they can't miss out on those sweet deals.

Grinn was an Invader in training at one point but she just didn't have what it takes to NOT wind up a professional garbage sifter.

⏬️ down there is the original drawing that inspired me to commit these crimes (drawn at a horrible basketball game)

Pictured: Thirsk, with Skaal Village in the background. The original builders of Thirsk rebelled against the strict code the Skaal lived by, and moved all of one hill over before they stopped to build a mead hall, after which they called the job done.

Hello Talviel! I'm not sure if anyone's asked this yet, but I'm interested in Skaal cuisine and how it differs from the usual mainland Nord fare. And due to the influx of Morrowind refugees, flora, and fauna post-Red Year, have they adapted to create some Skaal-Dunmer fusion dishes? Thanks!

Over the years, I’ve grown close to the Skaal of Solstheim, and have become familiar with their culinary traditions. Despite the few resources available in such a hostile environment, there are still many delicious Skaal dishes that deserve some recognition.

The Skaal diet is primarily based upon fish, horker, bristleback, bear, and elk, all of which are plentiful across Solstheim. In terms of vegetables, they, like the Dunmer, consume ash yams and scathecraw, which grow plentifully across the island. Spices are costly and only obtainable through trade, so they are not traditionally upheld in the Skaal culinary tradition. However, they take advantage of natural flavourings from herbs and plants, like powdered trama root, comberry, snowberries, juniper berries, and tree sap.

Like mainland Nords, mead is much loved, but due to the frosty and ashen climate of Solstheim, it is difficult to produce as there isn’t much in the way of beekeeping. As such, Nord mead is imported in large amounts, and the Skaal at Thirsk Mead Hall love it! However, it’s viewed as more of a treat than it is on Skyrim.

Back to the food! There are many Skaal dishes and only so much time, so a small menu is in order. Unlike most other peoples, the Skaal do not partake in the format of starters, mains, and dessert. Rather, meals are made communally and distributed through the village three times a day, prepared by younger members of the community. As such, breakfast, lunch, and dinner consist of at least two dishes. A typical meal in the Skaal Village would look something like this:

Breakfast

Scrambled seagull eggs, with bristleback bacon

Smoked salmon and salted smoked cod roe, with rye flatbread

Lunch

Rabbit stew, with pulled trama root and smoked bristleback sausage

Seafood chowder, with rye flatbread

Dinner

Juicy horker belly roasted in lard, with mashed ash yams

Fried elk cutlets, with juniper gravy

I hope that this whets your appetite, and showcases some of the delicious dishes enjoyed by the Skaal. ~Talviel

Sure as a Storm

For @saltymaplesyrup as a prompt fill and for their birthday!!! Has: Chaos ✅ Weird Shit Happening ✅ Stronk Nord Lady✅ Dragons ✅ Hidden Characters ✅ Stalhrim ✅ Skaal ✅ A Character Who Does Not Have a Head for Lore Because That's Funny When a Story is For Maple ✅ Did We Mention Chaos? ✅

I hope you enjoy it, my friend! It was a ton of fun to think through the prompt, even if it did go off the rails >:]

Without further ado,

Sure as a Storm

Silje Ice-Shaper pushed back the hood of her thick fur coat and ran her arm across her forehead with an exhale. She risked taking off a glove to rake her fingers through sweaty, coppery hair and tucked it back, before pulling the hood up over her head again and replacing her glove. Regardless of the temporary warmth her hard work brought her, it was cold today, and getting colder. Clouds were roiling in the distance, darkening not unlike her mood. She didn’t much like the prospect of another day in these open barrows with the weather due to be as bad as the elders warned.

Sure as a storm, they’d said, you’ll get caught in the worst of it.

Not that she hadn’t listened—no, it was that she frequently took their words more as advice, rather than law. The village desperately needed the Stalhrim if they hoped to have enough to trade, considering how supplies in Raven Rock were dwindling by the day. The sooner the materials were collected, the sooner her father could forge the enchanted ice into blades and armor that would sell for plenty in town—or if she was lucky, Windhelm. She’d never been given the opportunity to leave Solstheim, even for trade.

Silje had heard musings from the odd Dunmer mercenary who frequented their settlement that there was some kind of conflict brewing—something awful on the horizon, worse than the blizzards. She could still hear the annoying rasp in his voice as he explained the circumstances of the situation, but none of it made sense. She didn’t understand enough about the Nords in Skyrim to know why some Imperial god would cause such a problem—only that they were fighting about it, so logic followed that weapons and armor would be needed. Maybe they would trade for more gold than expected. It would mean surviving said storms, if the ground was unsteady enough and the fighting found its way here. All-Maker preserve them should that be the case. -> Read the rest on AO3.

how to finish the main dragonborn dlc questline, without working with a daedric prince (spoilers ahead for both the original and modded questline):

1. you need access to mods. specifically two: „epic restoration“ (perhaps „gray zone for epic restoration“) and „miraak - dragonborn follower“

2. obtain the spell „renounce“. you can find the spelltome in most temples of the divines. it allows you to get out of any daedric quest. it will not work on sheogoraths or vaerminas quest.

3. make sure you have the elder scroll (dragon).

(if you don‘t have it anymore, or if there are issues when you try to read it later on, use these console commands:

- prid 2d4f1

- addtocontainer player

these commands add the scroll you need to your inventory)

3. play the dlc normally, until you reach the quest „the gardener of men“. when hermaeus starts talking to you and asks you to betray the skaal, cast „renounce“. you can still do it after leaving apocrypha, but you must do it before talking to storn.

4. the quest will fail and you will get an alternate quest, called „traitor‘s breach“.

(spoilers for that quest: you will need to find a book and read it. the go behind miraaks temple and read the elder scroll. if it doesn‘t work, use the console commands listed above. there are different versions of that scroll, and only the original one will work.)

5. by completing that quest, you learn all words of bend will on your own. storn will stay alive

6. continue up to the fight with miraak. if the mod „miraak - follower“ is correctly installed, you will get the optional objective of using bend will on him. do that until he stops fighting and continue shouting at him.

7. you and miraak will have to fight hermaeus moras minions. eventually you both manage to escape from the daedric prince of knowledge.

and this is how you finish the dragonborn dlc in a better way. i like how it gives the bend will shout an actual use other than a taxi to miraak. and using the elder scroll again to obtain knowledge is just *chef‘s kiss*.

The Skaal and the Falmer

@demonwrestler asked in the comments on my post: Ysgramor and the G-word, and I just got back now to answer (nearly a month later)

Now, I have yet to play Skyrim to completion, but I've probably dropped 6k hours into ESO by now just doing the stories and hearing the Lite versions of things to dip in my toes. I wanted to ask, related to this post, is there anything on how the Skaal feel about the Falmer/Snow Elves?

Yes, way back in Morrowind, Bloodmoon, there’s a text: The_Story_of_Aevar_Stone-Singer where the Falmer are antagonists to the Skaal. The same text is found in Oblivion and Skyrim.

Aevar traveled through the woods of the Isinfier for many hours until he heard the cries of a bear from over a hill. As he crested a hill, he saw the bear, a Falmer's arrow piercing its neck. He checked the woods for the Falmer (for that is what they were, though some say they are not), and finding none, approached the beast. He spoke soothing words and came upon it slowly, saying, "Good Beast, I mean you no harm. The All-Maker has sent me to ease your suffering.

"Hearing these words, the bear ceased his struggles, and laid his head at Aevar's feet. Aevar grasped the arrow and pulled it from the bear's neck. Using the little nature magic he knew, Aevar tended the wound, though it took the last bit of his strength. As the bear's wound closed, Aevar slept.When he awoke, the bear stood over him, and the remains of a number of the Falmer were strewn about. He knew that the Good Beast had protected him during the night.

and later

Aevar traveled again through the Hirstaang Forest, searching for the seeds of the First Tree, but he could find none. Then he spoke to the Tree Spirits, the living trees. They told him that the seeds had been stolen by one of the Falmer (for they are the servants of the Adversary), and this Falmer was hiding them deep in the forest, so that none would ever find them.

Aevar traveled to the deepest part of the forest, and there he found the evil Falmer, surrounded by the Lesser Tree Spirits. Aevar could see that the Spirits were in his thrall, that he had used the magic of the Seeds and spoken their secret name. Aevar knew he could not stand against such a force, and that he must retrieve the seeds in secret.

Aevar reached into his pouch and drew out his flint. Gathering leaves, he started a small fire outside the clearing where the Falmer and the ensorcelled Spirits milled. All the Skaal know the Spirits' hatred of fires, for the fires ravage the trees they serve. At once, the Nature of the Spirits took hold, and they rushed to quell the flames. During the commotion, Aevar snuck behind the Falmer and snatched the pouch of Seeds, stealing away before the evil being knew they were gone.

In Bloodmoon itself, you re-enact this story and the local Rieklings play the part of the Falmer. Also in Bloodmoon most people in Solstheim think that the Rieklings are the Falmer. In game, you meet an Altmer scholar who insists that the Falmer are not Rieklings, and recruits you to find proof of the true ancient Falmer, but he is very much in the minority. The line

He checked the woods for the Falmer (for that is what they were, though some say they are not),

seems to be referring to this dispute and the Skaal narrator siding with the idea Falmer are Rieklings.

Summary: the Skaal seem to have preserved ancient traditions of the Falmer as enemies of the Nords in past wars. As there are no Falmer remaining on Solstheim, those traditions have been displaced onto the Rieklings.
