 * 1) Masked Assailants - 11/11/21 - After completing a variation of tasks for many people across Skyrim, the Dragonborn and Serana make their way to the town of Riverwood, in order to take a break from all the walking, running, and fighting. As they make their way towards the Sleeping Giant Inn, a pair of oddly-robed, masked men approach them. They hold their ground as the masked individuals walk up to the Dragonborn. The leading masked man speaks in a hostile tone, asking if the Dragonborn is the one people are calling the Dragonborn. The Dragonborn, suspicious and hesistant, answers positively, in which the masked assailants call him a liar, and refer to someone known as the "True Dragonborn", before attacking him and Serana. The masked assailants are adept at magical combat, but are swiftly dealt with by the Dragonborn and Serana. The Dragonborn inspects the corpse of the masked cultist who confronted him, and finds a note. As it turns out, someone named "Miraak" had sent them from the island of Solstheim in order to kill the "False Dragonborn". Serana questions what it could mean, in which the Dragonborn replies that they're going to head to the island of Solstheim in order to find out. The two make their way to the Windhelm docks, where they find the Northern Maiden ship mentioned by "Miraak" in the note. The captain of the ship is Gjalund Salt-Sage, who initially states right off the bat that he's finished making voyages to Solstheim. The Dragonborn asks Gjalund for his reasoning, then mentions the cultists that had attacked him that arrived from his ship. Gjalund is shocked and apologetic, but still refuses to take them to Solstheim. The disgruntled Dragonborn offers him 500 gold septims, in which Gjalund accepts due to business purposes. Serana and the Dragonborn take their seat as Gjalund sets the Northern Maiden off into the Sea of Ghosts. Serana is noticeably uneasy about the situation, and when asked about it, Serana states how she's afraid the scale of the situation is going to end up a lot larger than they think. The Dragonborn assures her that it probably won't be much, and that they've been through worse. In which Serana gives a slight smile, before leaning on the Dragonborn's shoulder. An hour passes, and the Northern Maiden approaches the island of Solstheim. As they enter the lagoon, Gjalund mentions that they've arrived at Raven Rock, and provides the two the best in finding out what's going on around the island. After docking, a Dark Elf adorning fancy clothing approaches the Dragonborn, mentioning that he's never seen them before, and inquires their intentions for arriving in Raven Rock. The Dragonborn, in return, asks if he knows who "Miraak" is. The Dunmer man acts confused, and a bit shocked upon hearing the name. He mentions that the name has something to do with the "Earth Stone". Something seems a bit peculiar, but the Dragonborn doesn't inquire anymore. The Dark Elf, named Adril Arano, then snaps back into normalcy, and states that Solstheim is territory of House Redoran, and that they're in Morrowind, not Skyrim, and that they must abide by and respect the laws of House Redoran while they're present in Raven Rock. Serana questions what he meant by Earth Stone, in which the Dragonborn looks to the left, and notices an odd rock on a small peninsula. The rock is surrounded by wooden scaffolding, and there appears to be a wide variety of people working away. The Dragonborn and Serana make their way through Raven Rock, and to the end of the peninsula. Serana comments on how alien the area seems to her, from the ashen wasteland, the buildings, the armor of the guards, even to the items being sold at the market areas. Upon reaching the Earth Stone, they notice an odd one out from the bunch. A Dark Elf man wearing an odd set of mage robes, who seems to be observing the people who are hard at work on constructing something unbeknownst to him. Upon noticing the two, the robed elf approaches them, and points out how they're not in the same condition as the others. The Dragonborn asks him what's going on, and the robed elf explains that the workers seem to be enthralled by an unknown source, that they keep repeating the same chant over and over again, not providing any response. Serana states that she's familiar with how thralls work, but also mentions how this seems different than any vampire enthrallment she's ever seen. The Dragonborn then inquires about Miraak, in which the elf mentions that there is a temple dedicated to Miraak somewhere up to the North. After their conversation ends, out of curiosity, the Dragonborn slowly approaches the stone, but being cautious as possible. Serana advises him against it, while the robed elf watches in curiosity. The Dragonborn puts his ear up to the stone, and hears a disembodied voice, reciting the chants that the workers keep repeating. The Dragonborn backs up, his suspicions rising. He informs the two about hearing a disembodied voice within the Stone, in which the robed elf responds that whoever's influence has been cast upon the stone, that they must be the source of the issue. After the conversation ends, the Dragonborn and Serana make their way towards the Temple of Miraak.
 * 2) The Temple of Miraak - 1/12/22 - The Dragonborn and Serana make their way to the Temple of Miraak, where many dragon skeletons remained embedded within the thick snow. Upon approaching the temple, they find more enthralled residents of Solstheim hard at work upon more wooden scaffolding surrounding the ancient temple. The Dragonborn and Serana make their way up the walkway and into the temple's entrance, where they find more people, wearing thick fur coats, at work, with a golden-haired woman wearing a set of odd armor yelling, trying to get them to hear her. As it turns out, another corrupted Stone resided within Miraak's temple: The Tree Stone. The armored woman approaches the two, and asks their intentions for coming upon the temple. The Dragonborn states how they're looking for Miraak, and state how Miraak had attempted to have him killed. The woman, who introduces herself as Frea of the Skaal, seems to be shocked, as Miraak was said to have been dead for an extremely long time, and that if he's the reason to why Solstheim is under an enthrallment plague, the answer must be within the temple. She then states that they should enter the temple in order to find out what. Abruptly, an area around the Stone slides open, and two cultists begin to charge out, blasting fireballs and lightning bolts at them. The three quickly charge into action, with the Dragonborn dispatching of one cultist, while Frea disposes of the other by cleaving into the head of the other with her stalhrim axe. Frea compliments the Dragonborn's combat skill, with the Dragonborn equally praising her's. This causes Serana to get slightly flustered, but she doesn't say anything as the three enter the temple. The temple has a very odd architecture design for being an Ancient Nordic temple, with lots of torture chambers, traps, piles preserved linen-wrapped draugr, etc. Even more powerful Draugr warlords are found within, followed by the displayed remains of dragons. Frea states how Miraak was using the temple in order to protect himself and gain power in the process, while Vahlok and a legion of dragons attempted to burn down the temple and kill Miraak for his betrayal to the Dragon Cult. Within the Gatekeeper's sect of the crypt, the Dragonborn discovered a new Word of Power that was previously unbeknownst to him, though he decided he'd only test it out if needed. Eventually, they'd reach the end of the temple, where the architecture had almost completely gone from Ancient Nordic, to something... alien. There were many statues and structures, resembling large flytraps and oddly-shaped slaughterfish heads. After passing the main burial chamber and slaying the powerful Draugr warlord at the end of it, the three find themselves within an odd room at the end of the temple, filled with the same alien statues from before. On a pedestal ahead of them remained a large, and ancient, black book. Frea states how she'd never seen anything within the likes of the room, and advises the Dragonborn to be careful. The Dragonborn cautiously approaches and lifts the book from the pedestal, then slowly opens it in order to begin reading. As he starts to recite the words from the book to Serana and Frea, abruptly, the pages glow a bright green, and black tentacles shoot out from the book, wrapping around the Dragonborn's shoulders and neck. Serana and Frea try to charge in to save him, but more tentacles shoot out from the book and knock them back. The Dragonborn tries to resist the book's grasp upon him, but is consciousness is eventually dragged into the book. The Dragonborn regains consciousness within an odd, alien realm, filled with bright green sky and black waters, full of writhing black tentacles that seemed like serpents within the depths. Abruptly, his attention was caught when he heard a voice ahead of him. The Dragonborn saw a masked man in a gilded robe, surrounded by odd, multi-armed creatures, and a bizarre, round-skulled dragon ahead. The figure abruptly notices the Dragonborn's presence, and turns around, blasting the Dragonborn with bolts of lightning, forcing him to his hands and knees. The man approaches him, and realizes that he is the other Dragonborn, and vice versa, the Dragonborn realizes that this must be Miraak. Miraak expresses gratitude for the Dragonborn for slaying Alduin, but states he could've done it himself, but he "chose a different path". He then mocks the Dragonborn, saying that he doesn't know the true power a Dragonborn could wield, before commanding the multi-armed, tentacle-faced creatures to send him back from where he came. As the creatures paraded him with a barrage of green magic, the Dragonborn watched with blurred vision as Miraak climbed upon the neck of the blue dragon, with the dragon then taking off towards an enormous structure in the middle of the ocean of black. The Dragonborn's consciousness snapped back into reality, as he found himself back within Miraak's temple. The tentacles that had their grasp upon him suddenly recoiled back into the book, and the book forced itself closed. Before Serana could say anything, Frea interrupted her, stating that she could see right through him, as if he were present, but gone at the same time. She then asks him about what he saw. The Dragonborn states that he was taken to a bizarre realm, and that he saw Miraak take off on a dragon, confirming Miraak is still alive. Frea states that they must take the Black Book to her father, Storn, the shaman of the Skaal. An exit opens up nearby, and the three make their way towards it. Serana is silent, but seems a bit discouraged, as she follows them out the exit.
 * 3) The Skaal Village - 2/18/22 - Frea, Serana, and the Dragonborn exit Miraak's temple through the hidden tunnel, and make their way towards the Skaal Village. After crossing the bridge, Frea points out the Wind Stone to the left, which, like the other Stones on Solstheim, is completely corrupted by Miraak. They make it to the village, where Storn Crag-Strider, alongside two other Skaal villagers, are casting a magical barrier over the village in hopes of protecting it from the evil. Frea notifies Storn of the Dragonborn's experience within the events of the Temple of Miraak. Storn asks multiple questions, including whether or not he is Dragonborn. The Dragonborn confirms this, and Storn states that it could mean the Dragonborn could be their salvation or their destruction, and that Miraak was also Dragonborn, but not only that, that he was the First Dragonborn. Storn then points out that if the Dragonborn wished to defeat Miraak, he would need to learn the Shout that Miraak learned long ago at Saering's Watch, which is now used as a lair for a Serpentine Dragon that had recently taken up residence there. Storn also states that the Shout could be used to cleanse the Stones of the evil that resided within. The Dragonborn and Serana make their way towards Saering's Watch, in which Serana asks about Frea. The Dragonborn reassures that there's nothing to worry about regarding Frea, as she was just there to provide more help. The two continue on through the snowy terrain, and eventually stumble upon Saering's Watch, which as of itself, resembles the entrance to a large Nordic ruin. Sure enough, a dragon, much similar to the one Miraak rode, bursts from the snow after being awakened, and attacks the two. This dragon is quite fearsome, forcing the Dragonborn to use the "Dragon Aspect" shout he learned within Miraak's temple. Combined with the Dragonrend Shout, the Dragonborn was able to dispatch of the Serpentine Dragon by striking with swift, colossal blows, followed by a sword to the brain. As the dragon collapsed in death, the environment brightened, and with a small burst of energy, an embodiment of Miraak appeared. Without hesitating, the Dragonborn lunged forward in an attempt to attack Miraak, but his sword went right through the embodiment. The embodiment laughed, then stated how it takes great skill to control a dragon's soul, and that the Dragonborn isn't as powerful as he thinks. With that, Miraak steals the dragon soul from the Dragonborn, then disappears with another small explosion. Serana asks as to what's up, in which the Dragonborn, seemingly frustrated, notifies her harshly about Miraak stealing the soul. She states that she didn't see him, though she did notice that she also didn't see the dragon soul enter his body. The Dragonborn calms down, then makes his way up to the top of Saering's Watch, where he approaches the World Wall and learns of first Word of Power to the "Bend Will" shout. The Dragonborn and Serana then make their way to the Wind Stone, near the Skaal Village, where multiple enthralled Skaal villagers, alongside the historian Tharstan, proceeded to work against their will on whatever Miraak was wishing for them to build. Standing steadfast, the Dragonborn used the Bend Will shout on the Stone, causing it to quake. The confused and panicked enthralled workers quickly made distance, taking cover as the scaffolding cracked. The Wind Stone let out a strong glow, before the magical ward around it bursted, shattering the scaffolding. Shortly after, a gigantic, bipedal, fish-like creature emerged from the water beneath the Stone. It let out a vicious, guttural roar, black tentacles spewing from its horrendous jaws as it roared. Combat engaged against the bizarre creature, in which it used a variety of attacks that resembled the black tentacles from within the Black Book. After a lengthy battle, the Dragonborn and Serana brought the "Lurker" to its knees, where he'd finish it off by impaling it through the jaw with his sword. The nearby Skaal, along with the historian, were questioning what had happened, and that they didn't remember anything. The two make their way back to the village, where the Dragonborn informs Storn that he had cleansed the Stone, and the details of the odd, fish-like creature. He then shows the Black Book to Storn out of his belief of the Book being connected to the Stones. Storn states that the book doesn't look like anything produced by the Dragon Cult, and that a Dark Elf wizard by the name of Neloth had recently come by the village asking about the Black Books. Storn pointed out that Neloth would have a better idea of what the books were and if they were connected to Miraak. To follow, Storn also states that if the Wind Stone was cleansed, perhaps the Dragonborn could free the rest of the island's Stones from Miraak's grasp.
