    Thorynnir - A Hardcore Nordic Mage

    Ha! You're soooo right! It's one of the first missions you come too if you follow the storyline and it's near impossible with a low level hardcore character.

    Thorynnir - A Hardcore Nordic Mage

    Ivarstead really is a black hole if you don't fast travel. I've done the 7,000 steps with an unrestricted and heavily armored Orc and it was still a bit if a challenge. I'm going to leave Ivarstead shortly but the road out of it isn't easy for my Mage. I will be heading to Winterhold. Talk about...

    Thorynnir - A Hardcore Nordic Mage

    Creeping across the bridge I notice a figure standing past the doorway. Unable to make out what it is I stay in the shadows. That's when I spot it... a metal grate with spikes to the left. Not wanting to get into another battle and accidentally get spiked I decide I've come close enough. I cut...

    Thorynnir - A Hardcore Nordic Mage

    Hey D. I'm currently wearing Adept Robes (+75% magicka regen), boots, and a steel dagger. No armor at all. I'm hoping to get my Alteration up so I can use Stoneskin with twice the duration. I also carry "camping gear" in my backpack. Iron pot, wooden bowl, plate, laddle, and a tankard...

    Thorynnir - A Hardcore Nordic Mage

    I awake early. Excited to be going out again. That barrow has something important in it. I can feel it drawing me in. Heading quickly to where I found the trap I hug the left wall. I crept to the first Drauger and hit him with my sparks. He awakens and stands only to fall limp on the floor...

    Thorynnir - A Hardcore Nordic Mage

    I know that smell...a musty bed and stale cheese. My eyes begin to get adjusted to the candlelight and reality sets in. Ivarstead inn again!! How could I have been so careless?!? Thinking back I remember the round decorative stone in the floor of the barrow. Clearly something to be avoided...

    Thorynnir - A Hardcore Nordic Mage

    Thank you! I was wondering if anyone would enjoy it. I appreciate the support. I will try to get my journal caught up to where I am in the game. I've been a little limited in my spare time lately.

    Thorynnir - A Hardcore Nordic Mage

    I did it! Kicking back with a wonderful ale tonight as a reward for today! This morning I entered the barrow to figure out what was up with it. It didn't take long to find a ghost. First one I've seen and it sure did give me a chill. It was behind a grate which gave me thought...if it was a...

    Thorynnir - A Hardcore Nordic Mage

    Day unknown plus 1 week... Heading out for revenge... I feel good after healing for a week. As good as I can since I'm still in Ivarstead. Hate this place. The longer I stay here the more I wish a dragon would burn it down. I've come all this way to see the Greybeards and I'm not stopping now...

    Thorynnir - A Hardcore Nordic Mage

    Day... unknown Things I now hate: Sabercats, Giant Spiders, Ice wolves, and most of all Iverstead. This place has been a blackhole for me. I think I've been here two months now and many of those days laying in bed healing. Just getting here almost killed me twice. It all started out with...

    What kind of magic do you prefer

    Shock. Love the look and like doing something other than the run of the mill pyro.

    New Here... hi!

    Hello! I'm new here a well. Don't worry about getting addicted... it's unavoidable.

    Thorynnir - A Hardcore Nordic Mage

    Morndas, 7th of Heartfire It's been a busy couple of days. When I woke up in Riverwood's inn I had decided to go to Whiterun to get help. Simply put I felt I had waited long enough and was worried the dragon may show up any time now. The chain of events that unfolded once I spoke to Jarl...

    Thanks! I'm honored that you like it enough to follow. I've never been very far into the game so I hope it will continue to be an interesting read. I hope to post some tonight. Take care.

    Thorynnir - A Hardcore Nordic Mage

    Fredas, 4th of Heartfire It's been a tough couple of weeks but I've finally succeeded. Im recovering at the Sleeping Giant Inn as I reflect on my latest journey. I had pushed into the Barrow pretty far when I saw him. A rather large looking Drauger with a huge weapon. Hiding in the shadows...

    Thorynnir - A Hardcore Nordic Mage

    Day 3 What a glorious day! Talos himself has blessed me today. I had left at sunrise to find the Bleak Falls Barrow and my battles have left me exhausted. First I fought through the guards outside the main Temple. I was able to sneak up on the first archer and take him down with little...

    Thorynnir - A Hardcore Nordic Mage

    Day 2 I awoke this morning with a determination I've never felt before. Clearly I'd like to help Riverwood defend against the dragon, but as a wanted man I need to lay low for a bit. I'm not even sure that I wouldn't be arrested by Whiterun guards on the spot and executed. Until I can sort...

    Nord Refugee Character Diary - Hrisskar III

    I just wanted to say thanks for inspiring me to try the hardcore play style. I've started a journal for my Nordic Mage, Thorynnir. I love your story so keep up the awesome work!

    Thorynnir - A Hardcore Nordic Mage

    Day 1... I was shaking with fear as Ralof and I watched the Dragon from hiding. It was almost majestic as it flew overhead. I whispered a prayer to Talos that it continued to fly away and after an eternity it did. Ralof jumped up and began telling me about Riverwood. I only remember...
