Bulgor Gro Shorok: Part 2

From where I was in the last post, I was given the task of getting into the Thalmor base as a 'guest' to a party and then steal information. Firstly Delphine told me to find a Wood Elf who could get my armour and weapons in to the embassy without the Thalmor knowing, then I had to get Delphine to get an invitation for me, and then I had to meet her near Solitude so she could give me some fine clothes to wear for the party. Once all that was done I got in a carriage to the embassy and entered the party with ease, there were a fair few people there, so it would be hard to sneak out unnoticed but there was one particular trouble maker there. I persuaded him to make a scene so I could leave through a door behind the drinks counter with the Wood Elf that I met before, he took me to my armour and weapons and then opened a door that led the way I had to go. From there I was on my own, trying to sneak through in clunky Orcish armour. I got to a door and behind it were two Thalmor soldiers, I thought this would be a good time to improve at my archery, and by the time I'd got to the documents my archery was a lot better. Now that we found out that the Thalmor had nothing to do with the Dragons returning, Delphine asked me to go to a man called Esbern in Riften because he may know more than anyone else about  the Dragons. I got to Riften but before I could get to Esbern, a man called Brynolf came to me and has convinced me to join the thieves guild, I would have said no but I knew that the only way I could find out about the "Unusual gem" that I had would be to ask them.
That's all for now but more should be coming soon, please join the Skyrim Community. Thank you for reading.

Bulgor Gro Shorok: Part 1

Skyrim is massive land filled with many opportunities to become whatever you wish to be. I decided to create the ultimate fighter, an Orc, they are known to be fierce in battle.
 So far I have saved Whiterun from a Dragon, completed the Dragonborn trails given to me by the Greybeards, joined an Orc stronghold and many more things. I have explored parts of Skyrim in search for Dragons to kill, I have found 6 Dragons on top of their mountain homes, but on the other hand many Dragons have found me and swooped down for the attack, luckily they didn't win the fight. I have found many words of power that have made me stronger, from one that can call nearby animals to my aid, to another that can turn me into a spirit that cannot be harmed.
A member of the Blades called Delphine has noticed that I am Dragonborn and she is trying to help me at the same time as I help her, she convinced me that I can trust her and that we need to discover how to get rid of all the Dragons. We discovered that the Dragons aren't just flying back to Skyrim, they are actually been brought back to live by Alduin, we are still unsure where Alduin came back from but I'm sure we will find out later. Now I have been given the task of infiltrating the Thalmor Embassy and find out if the Thalmor are anything to do with the Dragons coming back.
That's all for now, more will be coming soon, Merry Christmas for tomorrow and please become a member of this blog. Thank you for reading.

New Character Profile!

My most recent and most favoured character is a level 26 Orc character called Bulgor Gro Shorok, he is very good in One-handed (usually dual wielding orcish axes that I enchanted), good with Two-handed (usually an enchanted orcish greatsword) and is beginning to use archery (using an enchanted orcish bow). I'm trying to make him good at all forms of combat apart from magic. At the lower levels I used light armour for him, but now he has a full set of heavy orcish armour (except the helmet); the gauntlets are enchanted with fortify One-handed skill, the boots with resist fire and the armour with increase carry weight. He is very good at smithing being level 84 at it, he can craft up to orcish and elven (hopefully ebony when I get my next perk)

I will start a new post soon about what I'm currently doing in the story and quests, please become a member of the Skyrim Community. Thank you for reading.

Dark Elf character update, and general news!

Not much has come your way recently about my Dark Elf's adventures through Skyrim, well as I stated in an older post..... I hit a few problems while on a daedra quest and the conclusion to all this was that I had to just start all over. I deleted my Dark Elf and started a new save as a Khajiit (since I only played as a Khajiit twice in TES 4: Oblivion I thought it would be nice to see what they are like in Skyrim), while playing as this Khajiit I found an Orc stronghold near Windhelm and instantly fell in love with how they lived in their tightly knit tribes and worked as a real community (unlike all the warring cities). So I saved my Khajiit profile and started AGAIN as an Orc in hope that I could join these tribes. I decided to check out a different stronghold to the one I found as my Khajiit and stumbled across Mor Khazgur, as mentioned in the guide I created, I managed to marry a member of this tribe and move in with her. So now I live in a longhouse as well as owning Breezehome in Whiterun (although I only use Breezehome as storage for items I don't want to carry and Lydia.... my housecarl). I'm enjoying this new save so much, I admit that I am role-playing a bit as this character as well... so you can imagine my happiness while I "saved the stronghold from a dragon that attacked" and "honoured Malacath by working in the mines for the sake of the tribe". I've spent so much time just with the stronghold, plus doing alot of smithing, clearing out bandit nests, and a whole manner of time wasters that I've not even visited the Greybeards for the first time.
Overall I will be sharing the adventures that my Orc goes on except I'll try and keep each post abit shorter than those of the Dark Elf's, more posts will be coming soon so become a member of the Skyrim Community to get news of the when latest posts are. Thank you for reading.

Skyrim: How to live in an orc stronghold

Hello, this is a guide on how to live in an Orc Stronghold in Skyrim.
I have wanted to be able to live in one of the strongholds for a while, but there were no houses for sale in these places, but I still had to find a way and I did. So I created an orc character and after following these steps I am now living in the Chief of Mor Khazgur's longhouse.



My Orc character Bulgor Gro Shorok

Firstly you have to choose a stronghold that you want to live in, there are four in Skyrim so it would be wise to take a look at each destination before making your choice.

I now live in Mor Khazgul


Once this is done you have to find a partner that you want to marry (I'm not sure if you can marry a person from every stronghold). I chose Borgakh the Steel Heart to be my orcish wife. To marry this person they have to become a follower. Then if you wear an Amulet of Mara you can get married to them.

After the ceremony has finished and you are a new happily wed couple, speak with your new partner and say "let’s live in your place". Once you have done this, count yourself as part of the stronghold and live a hardworking and honourable life as Malacath intended.
Thank you for reading this short guide and I hope it has helped, dont forget to become a member of the Skyrim Community. More will be coming soon.

Character Profile!

My current character is a level 22 Dark Elf. He has Elven light armour (superior), Thalmor boots that have resist frost enchanted on them, Thalmor gauntlets, an amulet of Talos, a ring called Bond of matrimony (you get this from getting married) and for his head I have a silver and emerald circlet that I have enchanted to increase magicka and I have named it "Elder circlet of magicka" although I mostly wear a Dragon Priest mask called Krosis.
For weapons I use a mixture of magic 20% of the time, or Blades sword (superior) with the Axe of Whiterun 50% of the time, or Axe of Whiterun with Skyforge frost axe 30% of the time.
I'm not too sure on the actual levels but I am mainly good at destruction, sneak, one-handed, light armour, enchanting, smithing and occasionally I try and increase my conjuration.

Unfortunately I can't proceed with this account because I'm trapped on the Break of Dawn quest from Meridia, it seems that I'm locked in a dungeon and the only way to leave is by picking up an artifact sword, but I end up speaking to a spirit of the daedric prince Meridia and then when I leave conversation with her I fall to my death and I end up loading my save in the bleak and boring necromancer dungeon that I was in before. Any help would be appreciated as to how I can get this quest to work, since I don't feel like starting all over again (I've grown to love this character) Thank you for reading. I hope I can continue with this blog as soon as possible.

FUS......RO DAAA!!!

Since the last post I started the Greybeards quest to find an artifact for them (possibly a horn), I easily got through the tombs besides coming across a group of spiders (one of which was HUGEE), and the horn was missing. At first I thought it may have been Ulfric Stormcloack, because the tomb has parts that only a possessor of "The Voice" can get through, but it turns out it was a Blade (who are a group of trained soldiers that used to protect the Emperor in Oblivion's storyline) that stole the horn. She left a letter telling me to meet her, I did so and she gave me the horn, but she wanted my trust and my help in return (knowing that I had been claimed to be the Dragonborn). Although she did want proof that I was truly Dragonborn so off we went to kill a dragon, but firstly I took the horn to the Greybeards and got taught the final word of Unrelenting Force which is "DA". Then with my newest awesome power I went and proved that I was Dragonborn. I went to the location to find a dragon..... but not any dragon... this was Alduin A.K.A King Of Dragons or The World Eater. Luckily he wasn't the one I had to fight, he was simply there to revive the dragon that we were going to destroy. And while I waited he spoke to me, and strangely I quite like him even though he did insult me, I guess I just like the fact that he didn't attack me (they are more civilised than I presumed). Anyway, to be brief, I killed the dragon that we were there for and so far Ive killed 6 dragons which has unlocked quite a few shouts, one of them was accompanied by a Dragon Priest which had a mask called Krosis (which I love). I have also joined the Empire and I have got up to the quest where the Stormcloaks attack Whiterun, and since I'm the thane of Whiterun I wasn't having any of that!!
More will be coming soon, I might also give a character description of my Dark Elf. Feel free to become a member of the Skyrim Community. Thank you for reading.
