After days of forging the new battleaxe at Torbjorn Shatter-Shield’s request, Jastinia left Windhelm to gather wood for its handle. Also, to clear her head after receiving news that reminded her of her mother’s violent death years ago. Wra
To prepare for her Stormcloak initiation of slaying an ice wraith, 16 year-old Jastinia dove headlong into her new training program with her different mentors. Scouts Many-Marshes introduced the Imperial to cold water acclimation in the fr

Encouraged by her Argonian family and driven by a lifelong desire to help Windhelm outsiders like herself, Jastinia marched to the Palace of the Kings on her 16th birthday with one goal: join the Stormcloaks. Despite Jastinia’s Imperial he
Windhelm-born Jastinia didn’t expect gifts or presents on her 16th birthday, but her adopted Argonian family wasn’t going to allow such a special day pass by without celebration. Especially not for the Imperial orphan who hadn’t received a
Welcome to Jastinia of Windhelm’s legendary edition Ultimate Skyrim/Take Notes playthrough. My name is Anna and I'm blogging her playthrough on my WordPress page, Unearthed Arcanna, but posting all the content here too. Got questions about Jastinia?
"Chdla! Ldil, md!". Those were the first words I heard the scaly monstrosity regurgitate after it had slithered towards us. I can't even begin to emphasise how hideous this foul creature from the depths truly was. A bastard of man, fish and eel am
Jane blew on her cold-numbed hands and wished she didn’t live so far north.

They called Sadrith Mora a city, but it looked more like a fungal nightmare that had erupted and grown until it covered half of the rocky island it claimed as its home.
