I returned to the College of Winterhold to see if Arniel's experiment was a success. Upon arrival I and several mages fought an Ancient Dragon. I talked to another mage who said that a rift had been opened by the Eye and I need to close it. I made it to Arniel; turns out he was missing yet another item. The courier had gone missing, so I went out to find him and the package. I arrived to a cave full of spiders. Surprise surprise, he's dead. I grabbed the item, a dagger, and returned it. Arniel started the experiment, which consisted of hitting the Soul Gem with the dagger. After a few hits he vanished. I now have a spell that lets me summon him in ethereal form.

I went to the rift and killed the Magical Anomalies spawning from it.

Next I decided to find the pieces of a broken Daedric dagger. I fast travel near to the first location and a vampire comes out of nowhere and attacks me.

The first location is a Forsworn camp, no big deal. The “final boss” was a Hagraven. I killed her and took the piece and learned the first word of Dismay.

The next location was filled with Orcs. I killed the leader and got the key to the basement, where the piece was located.

The final piece was in Morthal, a town I hadn't been to yet. While I was there I found out a house had burnt down under mysterious circumstances. I found the man with the last piece and persuaded him to give it to me.

I returned them to the man who wanted them, Silius, and we went to the Prince's shrine to reforge them. The Daedroth tells me to kill him; Silius of course begs me not to. But me, being the Daedric servant I am, murdered him anyway. The blade was repaired for me, and I was told I have one final test. Two Dremora were summoned to fight me. I took care of them pretty easily and entered the shrine. Two more Dremora awaited me, and died.

I returned to Morthal to investigate the fire. I found a little girl's ghost in the ruins who told me to find her after dark. I waited until night and searched the town for her. She was nearby in a coffin. A vampire was there and attacked me. Apparently the vampire burned down the house, and bit the little girl, hoping to turn her, but she had died. The vampire was supposedly visiting a friend, Alva, when she disappeared from town. Alva was the woman who the owner of the house was in love with. I made it to her house, she was a vampire too. I killed her and found out that they planned to enslave the town with some more vampires. The Jarl sent me to take out the rest of the cult, and I obliged.

I returned to Markarth because I realized I never bought the house there. The Jarl needed some help, he wanted me to retrieve his father's shield. I did so, bought a house, and was made Thane.

I continued the main quest and attended the truce meeting between the Stormcloaks and Imperials. After some arguing both sides agreed to the terms. As I was about to head out, the Blades members informed me they wanted me to kill Paarthurnax. Yeah, not happening.

With the truce a success, I went to Whiterun in order to catch a dragon. With my fancy new Call Dragon shout, I lured one right into our trap. He was pretty cool, and agreed to take me to the entrance to Sovngarde, where Alduin was.

At the temple that served as a portal to Sovngarde, I learned the second word of Storm Call. There was a Dragon Priest overseeing the portal to the other side. I killed him and took his mask.

I made it to Sovngarde safe and sound, and journeyed to the Hall of Valor. There, heroes agreed to help me fight Alduin. He didn't stand a chance against us, and was finally defeated, once and for all (OR IS HE???). I'm taught the Call of Valor shout, which allows me to call a hero to aid me in a fight, and sent on my way. Many dragons were there when I return to the Throat o the World.

I learned the location of another Word from the Greybeards and set out to get it. On the way I face a Blood Dragon. I made it to the dungeon and fought my way through blah blah blah.

SUDDENLY DRAGON PRIEST OUT OF NOWHERE

I killed him, took his mask, and learned the final word of Whirlwind Sprint.

I returned my two masks to Labyrinthian.
