Last night saw me fully complete the Azura quest and as a reward I received the Star Of Azura, a shiny re-usable grand soul gem, which should ciome in very handy at some point in the future. I also visited a tomb not far from the Shrine to Azura and wiiped out a few lowish level undead, for a small reward. Returning to Balmora I started moving my possessions from the Pawnbrokers shack I called home, to the Hlaalo Manor opposite the Balmora House of Hlaalu guild house. It's a slow process, but tehre is more room to stash my now considerable pile of loot in the Manor house.
I also learned that construction has started on my stronghold and I have to go tehre to check on progress.
That will be my next task.
Oh and as I had a huge excess of alchemy ingredients I spent a long session creating poitions, long enough to raise my Alchemy Skill by 4 points, that is a lot of successfully created potions.

I visited the stronghold last night, it is currently a small stone building with planks stacked against the sides, As it wasn't complete I couldn't go inside. The Construction foreman told me work was going well.
I continued moving weapons and Armour between my bases and bouhgt training to advance anotehr 2 levels, I'm now at level 30, the training allowed me to advance to teh rank of Bandit in the Thieves Guild. I now need to to a bit of adventuring again to accumulate some more gold.

Is level 30 a high level? What is considered a high level? It looks like it seems a reasonable one.

It's pretty high and well high enough to go and do the next parts of the main quest. I'm happy to take on all but special character/creatures one to one and even most of them in groups.

Over the weekend and this week so far i was tidying up my quests, I have one left for Skink-in-tree in the mage's guild after capturing an Ash Ghoul in a Grand Soul Gem for him, that was tough as teh ash ghouls in the cave I was hunting in doubled up and almost kileld me a couple of times, before I prevailed.
With all teh buying and selling I've been doing I bough a lot of training and managed to ascend to Master Wizard in teh Mages Guild, I need another 6 Mysticism points to challenge the head for the guild for his crown. In teh emantime I'll be finishing off Skinks last quest a tough one by the look of things, he wants a rare book not available in bookshops, it seems tehre is one in a secret wellguarded library in the Vivice. Stealing it could be very tricky as the guards in Vivic are a nasty bunch already without upsetting them more. They are called The Ordinators and are almost a law unto themselves. They regularly call me scum to my face even with a high reputation and no bounty on my head.
Offing one of them without taunbting them into attacking me first is vitually an instant death sentence.
I rose to House Brother in The House of Hlaalu but need more points on one of my otehr skills to get to House Father.
Oh and last time I took a nap to level up I was attacked by two assassins at once, that was another touch and go fight as they were using stronger Paralysis blades which also poisoned me, and that was in Caldera a place I'd never been attacked before. Someone is definitely getting very nervous of my presence.

Everyone's scum to The Ordinators. I remember doing that quest, but I don't recall how The assassins are part of the Tribunal expansion - if you pop down to Ebonheart and have a word with the right guard, they'll stop coming after you.

I think this is where my 80% Chameleon Amulet comes in handy.

My amulet was very handy, the rare book was filched with no problems at all. Over the weekend I became joint Arch Mage/leader of the Mage's Guild and continued on the main quest line. I cleared out the 6th house base and contracted the dreaded incurable corpus disease. The next main line quest was to get a cure for the disease, this was achieved though I wasn't completely cured. It seems I still have Corpus but none of the bad side effects, but have kept the good side effects. ie. I am immune to all diseases now. no more carrying loads of cure disease potions about with me. Oh and my stronghold is now complete in the Odai plateauy. I have my own fortress.

Onwards on the main quest I had to find a contact in the Vivic Libarary, she/he wasn't there, the other librarians suggested she might be in he quarters, I checked she wasn't there, but there was a note.
The note indicated she had been summoned to the ministry of Truth and I should seek her/him there but be sure to bring along scrolls of Divine intervention and to talk to some guard outside who would wllow me in to visit. The ministry of Truth turned out to be a huge rock like building floating above the temple area of the city, I needed levitation to get to the outer doors. The guard outside listened to my tale and gave me a key to the outer door and told me my contact was in teh Castle Keep (cells), the gaurds also said that when questioned they would say I overpowered them and stole the key. Sounds ominous. It was, every gaurd insid eteh rock attacked me on sight, I kkileld at least 4 in my search for teh cells and killed anotehr 6 inside the keep, before finding my The contact tooko a scroll and gave me instructions on where to meet him/her after we escaped. That would be the place I would receive my next orders/duties in teh search for the lost prophecies.
The divine intervention scroll was used to teleport to a safer location, I only had a 610gp bounty on my head despite all the killing in the prison, so I returned to my base and had teh bounty removed in the Thieves guild.
I will delay teh next meeting to progress to the next House of Hlaalu quest which is to control the Ordinators, that shoud hopefully make moving around the city of Vivic a bit easier in the long run. I have 29 reputation points and levelling is proving harder now that my major skills are becoming harder to gain experience in.

The ordinators are under control and now ask me how they can be of service to me. I've completed a couple of minors Hlaalu quests involving slaves and have on slave to rescue from the Dren Plantation and whilst I'm there I need to get the owner of the plantation to give me control of the Camonna Tong, which should then ensure that I become the leader to the House of Hlaalu. My financial situation is in a very healthy state at present but not healthy enough to be able to afford constant effect enchantments on items. I had a night attack by an Ash Zombie whilst I rested last night but they're easy meat, so no damage done there. I spoke to someone in Ebonheart about the attacks an he said I'd have to see someone on the mainland to stop them, I don't think the problem is solved yet. Once I get the final two Hlaalu quests completed it's back to pursuing my claim to Navarineship. I am currently a Councilman in the House of Hlaalu with only the GrandMaster higher than me. Whilst I was in Vivic I joined the Tribunal Temple, that may have also had some bearing on teh Ordinators change in attitude. However as the first quest iis to visit 7 shrines throughout the islands, I don't think I'm going to advance very far in that one. Though I did manage to advance to Novice level without moving away from teh recruitment officer. Just by asking for a promotion. They refused another request immediately after and told me to prove my dedication to the cause first. I don't think they heard me muttering Do One under my breath. My reputation global level is now at 31, and I'm really enjoying taunting people I don't like in order for them to attack me first. I dodn't even have to bribe them to improve their disposition towards me, as my speachcraft skills are good enough to be successful at taunting regular enoough.

The slave was rescued and he told me where I could find incriminating evidence regarding a plot by my next target, the owner of the Dren Plantation.
I had to kill a few of the plantation owners guards to get the letter plotting to kill his own brother, but once that was in my possession ti was easy to persuade the guy to hand over control of the Camonna Tong to me. Whilst I was in the plantation I managed to steal over 13k in gold coins from the owners various chests and cabinets. I now have over 40k worth of gold rattling in my pockets.
That completes all the House of Hlaalu quests, I am now the Grand Master of the House of Hlaalu. Back to the main quest line now, I am stood at the Ebonheart docks contemplating the question from a vessel Capitan: "Do I want to go fishing now or later".
That question will be answered next time I login.

I don't remember any fishing :curious: It's after you meet milo for the second time and help her escape from teh prison, she/he tells you to go to the DOcks at Ebonheart and talk to one of the captains, if you mention milo by name, then you get an option to go fishing, if you accept the secret location (Azura Coast Region) is added to the travel option for that captain. It's the only location he travels to. You don't actually get to go fishing, unless yo want to go swiming for yourself to batter slaughterfish into submission with what ever weapon you are carrying.

I went on my fishing trip and ended up in a secret monetary on a remote island in the Azura Coast Region. Speaking to the head monk I got all sorts of leaflets and books surrounding the Nerevarine, including the lost prophecies. Which hint that the Nerevarine is an outlander rather than an Ashlander.
I was advised to take the information to the wise woman at the Urshilaku Camp in the far north of the island. So I took a boat via Ebonheart and Sadrith Mora, there I had my Helm enchanted with Speed Swim (20 seconds) and Water Breathing (120 seconds) that cost over half of my GP but it would mean I could swim a long way around a headland near Khuul, to get where I really wanted to be. I then sailed to Khuul via Dagon Fel and the rest of the journey was on foot and in water.
Halfway round the headland I found a wreck which proved a handy point to stop of and cast my water breathing spell again. Before i did that I looted the wreck, nothing major was found, but every little still helps.
I finally got to the camp and the wise woman listened to my story interpreted a lot of of things from the mumbo jumbo on the leaflets and told me to train for a day and return for her judgment. This I did, on my return she indicated that it did look as if I could be the Nerevarine, but having only completed 2 trials I had another 5 to complete, she sent me to see the chief of the clan to find what the third trial would be.
I still don't know what the trial is because the chief wants me to prove myself first by retrieving three tokens from Kogoruhn: namely Corprus Weepings from a corprus beast, a House Dagoth cup, and the Shadow Shield which lies in the tomb of Dagoth Morin, deep in the lava tunnels beneath Kogoruhn.
Interesting, I rested for the night as I was warned it's safer to travel by daylight and am now about to set off to find Kogoruhn on the next stage of my journey.

There's some pretty fun dungeon crawls in the next part of the game.
I still don't remember anything about fishing, but I've finished the main quest so I must have done it. Stupid brain is stupid.

I've now completed the third trial and the Urshilaku tribe have named me Nerevarine, however I now have to persuade the 3 other Ashlander tribes to accept me as the Nerevarine plus the 3 Great Houses have to accept me as Horator, The House of Hlaalu have already done so, so I have two houses to complete and 3 more tribes to visit.
My global reputation is now 46.

Completed the sub quest to be the Horator of the House of Telvanni, even though I had to kill one councillor and deal witha total fruitcake. I'm working on the House of Redoran now, but have to rescue one of the councillors sons from the hands of another councillor before it can go any farther. Global Reputation is now 50/100 and I've been told that the High Fane of Vivic is desperate to see me as soon as possible.

I have all but finished the sub quest to become the Horator of teh House of Redoran, after rescuing the hostage all but one councillor gave me their blessing. The final one wouldn't entertain the idea. I needed to provoke him into fighting a duel, but he wasn't biting, until I remembered the note downstairs which was evidence against his kidnapping of a fellow councillors son. That did it, the duel was arranged and now i'm standing outside of the Vivic arena gates where the duel to the death will be fought.
I did actually manage to win the duel once but the game crashed as I returned to my home base with the booty. :moop:

Greyson Badgerset is now officially the Horator of the House of Redoran, he also receievd two leaflets, one saying that he is an enemy of the Temple and should be arrested on sight by Ordinators, the Legion and town guards. It seems they claim I am a false Nerevarine and an enemy of the people. The other note informs Greyson that he must become the leader of all the Ashlander tribes before seeking audience with the HIgh Priest in the Temple Canton of Vivic. Looks like I have 3 more tribes to visit.
One tribe was visited last night and before I could be named their Nerevarine I was given the task of clearing out a Daedric shrine of battling factions, namely Ordinators and Dissident priests, to make a new safe homeland for the tribe. That was done and now I'm in teh process of escorting the tribe wise woman to the shrine, so that she can inspect my work.
My global reputation is now 54.
