I can feel the crackle between Hircine and Frea...and it is great, how they combine their forces, to save the land...Interesting, to read, that Frea has a lot of spiritual power,what surprised Hircine a little bit
The pictures are well preapred as ever and I like especially the pic with Frea's shadow on the wall
Glad you mentioned that shot as I also love the shadow she made. I tend to like shadows in general. I am going to have a short story with Hircine, Frea, and a special guest star, coming soon. You might enjoy it, well I hope you will lol.
I do enjoy that Hircine and Frea are somewhat opposites yet do have a few things in common oddly enough.
I will expect this story- line
I like shadows too....sometimes they show more than the origin
I'm saving the last two parts for tomorrow morning.
Well I will write a book I think someday (after all Grim has 4 already) but publishing ... another story
Very nice that Kyne helped with the wards at Hircine's request. At some point you can almost feel that Frea would love to slap mister Huntsman. Those daedric princes sure can be total PITAs at time lol. Yet his taunts is what drove her to succeed. Desperate time, desperate measures. Glad that he saved her from sinking too deeply into the natural world, saving her life. Though as for his reasons for doing so...well....daedric lords all have their own agendas.
Nicely done !!!
I think you may find there is a little bit of a romance developing between Hircine and Frea
Hircine's ulterior reasons, among many, is that with Mora gone ... guess who controls Solstheim? Un-hun. Also he lost almost all his children thanks to Mora. So he was determined to save the few that remained.
If he could earn some points with Grim and Frea/Skaal all the better as he also has some plans there.
That being said he also had some good reasons
Of course Kavel was worried about the safety of Rumper. That was a cool thing to mix into all of the tension. Before the battle in Apocrypha, I wonder if Mora had this outcome as a possibility, and made proper preparations. I have a feeling the Prince of Knowledge has some tricks left up his tentacled sleeves.
I figure since Kyne has governance over wind and sky she might be around. Also Kyne is the wife of Shor - and Shor is the Nordic Aspect of Lorkhan ... so in a way her husband is the one who merged with Grim to fight Mora. In that case if it was her husbands act that is threatening life on Nirn, and Kyne is very protetive of Nirn and mortals, it seems reasonable she would act. But as a "dead" aedra whose body is a planet in the heavens and her spirit controlled through mortal beliefs ... her power on Nirn is limited unless invoked by her followers (or she has an avatar to work through). She can alter the weather all on her own but limited due to her just being a spirit. Again one of those very vague lore things. I have had her do things to the weather when in a major temper (like a storm over Saarthal when Grim was capture by Domina) but that was a wild thing and uncontrolled. To do something like this ward she needed to act through Frea. Mainly she just helped her spell a long.
We shall know soon enough if Mora has any tricks planned
Really enjoyed the small bits about Kavel and how he; even in those Circumstances cared for Rumper and his Savety aswell as how Fanari reacted to Hircine's commanding presence. Not sure she would agree; but I think it was only right that she decided to follow his orders to get her People inside; even if she most likely will demand answers from both him; if possible; aswell as Frea.
Really curious now how all this will Play out in the End. I do hope Frea's and Hircine's work was not for nothing; I do hope they did enough to protect Solstheim; at least to allow it to survive whatever Comes next
That was why Hircine was running to the Skaal village. To get Frea so they could protect the island (wasn't altruistic either as Hircine knows if Mora is defeated he will gain full control of Solstheim ... which would mean little if it was destroyed ... and he also wants to protect his last were-children on the island. Course he also has plans for an alliance with the Skaal so that is another motivator.
I can safely tell you Solstheim is now safe without worrying about any real spoiler
Past 3 is done except two sections, then polish and publish so will be tonight at some time.
I also admire Frea, she is certainly my favorite character from Dragonborn dlc and probably in all game, since she has amazing character... she can be confident and strong yet show compassion and mercy, being a bit like mother nature, so I think it is fitting she can control weather due to her shaman powers... also very interesting description of what could happen with Daedric and human magic combined!
I also loved the tension between Frea and Huntsman... in Dannee's verse, Frea could make very interesting duo with huntsman, given their opposite charterers and her certain attraction to him. i chuckled at Frea blushing like shy virgin in front of her opponent, but I suspect she is really innocent maid, since Skaal are not known to be lustful, usually living whole life with one partner and Frea was never noted to have love interest. In any case her shaman abilities and Hircine power probably saved whole Solstheim... and it also gave me a guess of why Mora wanted Skaal knowledge so bad... given what their knowledge can do while merged with Daedric powers.
And the way how she Frea was snapped out of her trance was so in huntsman fashion! I guess if they will maintain some peace, she could be interested in his ways of training warriors, for he did save her life while given her successful ward he could just let her die... Maybe Frea, Hircine and Kavel could met with Erik and lads and maybe together they might find a way to help Grim...
I would look forward for continuation and thank you for sharing your awesome work!
Frea is totally faithful to the All-maker in Grim's world. That isn't at question. Her big problem right now is wondering if Hircine should actually be considered a servant of the All-maker (or at least a nature based supernatural being) and less a Demon. They tend to think all Daedra are demons as they are not part of Nirns natural world ...but they are part of Oblivions natural world. Does the All-maker only cover Nirn? I don't know. Maybe he does and in that case They would consider all not in Nirn to be outside of the All-maker. Yet should they all be considered evil? or against the All-maker just because they come from a different natural world (to the Daedra the nature of Nirn is considered unnatural).
So Frea is asking a lot of questions about the other entities that exist and how the Skaal view them. I think, lore wise, if the Skaal are very strict and conservative religious types they would refute all the Daedra, and the Aedra as well, as neither comes from Nirn. Course the Aedra are a mix - some fled Nirn and are now outside of it but some became part of Nirn ... so they might be considered part of nature.
Not simple to answer actually. I think if the All-maker is the Dreamer, and the Dreamsleeve is his river of souls, then the All-maker covers both Oblivion and Mundus in his rule. At the very least he might be Anu and the Advesary would be Padomay. Or lorkhan could be the actual advesary which would be odd since Lorkhan is the hero of mortals and Nirn as a whole.
Religion is always so complicated :p
Anyhow point is Frea is thinking Hircine could be an ally, if not a friend, of the Skaal. So she may agree to an alliance with Frostmoon. The Skaal will not follow Hircine of course (I would never do that) but they may be willing to work with them. I also think Frea finds Hircine very attractive which is hard to deal with considering her chaste nature as you said.
As to whether they could all help Grim ... can't say at the moment
Her determination , although afraid, is examplary. Interesting ending with Hircine smiling and putting his words like that,.. spoken as the deadric prince he is,...
The tension is building up, preperations are being made, people seeking shelter,..
Something is going to happen, and i have the feeling that it's going to be pretty big,..
Hircine has changed a lot but he is still a Prince with all the arrogance and conceit that brings to the table. A force of nature with perhaps a slight bent now towards being a bit more understanding of mortals and how he uses them.
Well the only big thing left is the upcoming battle. At least as long as the wards that Frea built hold - as they will protect the island while Lorkhan draws on the energy of Red Mountain.
You really are setting up something big, that's coming with the red mountain blowing with very little mention of Grim in this chapter.
Frea seemed quite taken by surprise at Veidimadr's re-appearance knowing now who he really is, even though she knew their paths would cross again. Pretty good job he did show up with whats about to hit them. Maybe the Skaal and others on Solstheim may not have survived if not for Hicrines intervention in help Frea set up the wards and being able to push her that step further to do what was required and also bringing her back from the brink of the next life.
Kavel seemed very worried about Rumper but he seemed in good enough hands. Kavel looks very dashing in the images but had a small part in the episode, nice to see him though.
Seems Frea will be in a very confused state she has a lot to thank Hircine for while the Skaal have a lot to thank both of them, though I guess Veidimadr will deflect all credit on to Frea.
Hircine though never quite says you are safe from me, just a sort of be careful, I'm still around but I will let you be for now, but should your people stray....
Maybe a good idea to break it up a bit, I guess you have a lot to get out with this outcome, the less jumping around in one part is not a bad thing while keeping the focus in that one area for that part is a good idea.
Great work Jon should be a good run up to and weekend
I have spent a lot of time slowly winning the Skaal over to Hircine. I do NOT want them to follow them - I love the Skaal and the All-maker - but I want them to see he is somewhat aligned with the All-maker versus being directly opposed. In true lore he is opposed but for me I have always seen Hircine is a bit of a nature deity and that is how I write him.
I think Hircine has respects Frea for sticking to her guns and beliefs. He seems to like strong willed people willing to stand up for themselves. I also feel he dislikes deceit and likes to be direct. Well hopefully things between his children (the werebeasts) and the Skaal might be a bit better after this.
You are also dead on that Hircine is not going to make any promises to leave them alone
