Middas, 10th of Hearthfire (Journal)
I set off to Morthal bright and early, I was quite wary but I arrived safely and although the town is very cold, it is just about bearable. It is a small town with lots of Deathbell growing. I overheard snatches of conversation and it seems that a mother and child died in a housefire recently, and the husband has immediately taken up with a new woman. I don’t think I’m going to hang around here.
I dared to explore the outskirts of the surrounding swamp, aiming for the road to Dragonsbridge. I found lots of swamp fungal pods and giant lichen, which are great additions to my stockpile. Just a mudcrab and a ridiculously large spider to deal with, luckily Meeko is very adept at dealing with these sorts of dangers. Freezing fog rolled in and I stopped my ingredient hunt and concentrated on getting to Dragonsbridge. Was feeling very cold and worried but survived this time – just. Was much better when I got to path in full sun.
I arrived at Dragonbridge, later than I thought, it was dark by the time I arrived. I am staying the night at their Inn.
