Middas, 17th of Hearthfire (Journal)
I set off early to Windhelm. I spent a while exploring the paths outside the city and gathered some snowberries. I headed into town and looked for the Alchemist’s shop. The city feels oppressive and the citizens feel on edge. I witnessed a dark elf being harassed by some men, I spoke to her after and apparently this kind of abuse is now common to anyone who isn’t a Nord, although they are singling out Dunmer and Argonians in particular. I think I will keep this visit short – this city is the capital of the Stormcloaks after all.
I met the alchemist, Nurelion. He seems quite unwell, I hope his assistant can find a remedy for him. I bought and sold as usual.
I wandered down to the docks, to see if I could spot any barnacles or other aquatic ingredients and instead got talking to the Captain of ‘The Northern Maiden’. He ferries between here and Solstheim, a dark elf city. I think the thought of the new and exciting ingredients furred my brain, I ended up paying up 250 gold for travel to Raven Rock!
