"First, I really loved some of the descriptions sprinkled in throughout this chapter. Elements like the many-hued glories of Summerset or the more homey comforts of the Companions' Hall gave the scenes a strong sense of place.
The fall of…"

"I love the sensory details you put here, particularly in regards to Jorrvaskr. It conjures a sense of place--home for the weary warrior. The first part also has a lot of hints as to the Companions' true nature.
And I wonder what role Aelberon will…"

"We've talked about how difficult it is to write battle scenes, but you did a fantastic job here. The first part gives the reader a good idea of the larger scope, and has its own arc with the ill-fated gryphon riders. The second provides an up-close…"
"It's clear that Rynandor cares about Aelberon (at least, it seems that way to me), but also that he has his own motivations that are a bit more opaque. He comes off as something of an outlier, at least in regards to what I'd expect from an Altmer…"
"What a horrible fate for a culture as aesthetic as the Altmer. Their art, their cities, even their bodies rendered to ruin.
The moment when Rynandor girds Aelberon in his armor is a powerful one. You can tell there's no going back, and that the…"

"Oh, okay! Thanks for clarifying. Yeah, I can see that now--I remember earlier chapters discussing the hardships he'd gone through. I'd figured those were still in effect, but given the dramatic escalation I thought that the big thing killing him was…"
"Interesting political interlude. You did a good job of showing Balgruuf's concerns. Clearly he loves his land, but that's balanced by pragmatism. He knows there's only so much he can do in this moment, and that he has to play his hand…"
"The cultural stuff in this chapter was great. I loved the presentation of the Nords--very set in their ways, very suspicious of outsiders, but always with some level of historical justification. The numerous rules, like Altmer not even being…"
"I quite like the idea of an older Dragonborn. The assumption in a lot of stories is to have a young hero who comes into their own, but there's something more interesting about someone who's already lived a long life with its share of triumphs and…"
"Interesting opening!
You do a good job of setting a sense of place. Summerset is clearly a world unto itself, with its own divisions both regional and class-based. Aelbaron acts as kind of a representative of a less refined, but quite vital, Altmer…"

"A lot of potential there!"
"I got that he'd been around for a while. What made him want to live forever? Fear of death? Some goal not yet completed?"
"That was a fun, creepy story! The Dwemer ruins do lend themselves to Lovecraftian tales of lost civilizations and monstrous science (this one seemed most inspired by "At the Mountains of Madness", which is appropriate). Your prose did a good job of…"
"Hi, everyone! Long-time Morrowind fan here, but I've had a lot of fun exploring Skyrim as well."
