It seemed an evening like most others. The quill in his hand carrying swiftly over parchment, the scarce candlelight flickering like the memory of the sun upon his script, the grotesque, rasping hounds laying in quiet vigil near his feet. Castle Volkihar erupted from the sea in a veil of fog so choking most sailors considered it an ill omen, nevermind the blood drinkers... yet it stood proud, stalwart, above the crashing sea made black by night.

The sounds of his coven roaming the halls beyond his chamber door were ever present. He listened intently to the vampires he served as they went about acquiring the first meal dolled out to them, and discussed all matters of interest, political and otherwise, amongst themselves. Not far, he sensed his sire lurking and feeding, likely to stay unseen by most.

A night of little consequence.

Two harsh clangs at the door brought his face up, and his writing hand fell away to rest.

"A disturbance, my lord," called one of the guards.

"Enter, and explain," said Rowan, rising calmly to his feet. The dogs followed suit, stretching their limbs.

The chamber doors creaked on their hinges as the man stepped inside. "Probably nothing to fret over, but someone was spotted down near the docks. Washed ashore, seems like. I don't suppose you were expecting company?"

Rowan turned his head a bit. "I was not." Without further delay he pushed in his chair and descended the small stairway, death hounds trailing like a shadow. "Very well, let's find out who has come to visit."

HALEY WHY IS THIS STILL HERE

[crownedwithashes]

There are a lot of things I forgot about, and I'm not sure that I regret this being one of them

Wow it's three months into 2026. Over all the time I haven't posted, I've still glanced at tumblr here and again wondering if anyone or anything remains of the Elder Scrolls RP scene. We had a really good thing going back in the day, didn't we?

So you know, if you still follow this blog, why don't you hit me with a message or something? Let me know how you've been. I'm really curious to see what's going on in everyone's world.

And if you're seeing this and you've forgotten who I am because it really has been THAT long, I'm the mun of Rowan, a benevolent Volkihar lord OC I wrote for years here. I still write him on Discord. However I'm considering coming back to tumblr. I'm just not sure as to how busy it is in the TES RP scene nowadays.

@lunarexplorers:

Jewel honestly hated being serious but she knew this was a time to be it, he was honestly quite scary and she knew if he and the other vampires picked up on her fear it was the end most likely. She suppressed most of the fear even though some still remained hoping it wasn’t overwhelming, listening to the vampire lord Jewel relaxed slightly as he made the offer.

He wanted to show her that he was different from Harkon, a good sign so far and it made her smile slightly. Keeping her voice even as she spoke after he finished.

“I will accept your offer as I will keep my hands where you can see them and maybe while we walk if you have any questions for me about anything, I can answer to the best of my knowledge if that is worth anything.”

Jewel knew that other vampires didn’t trust strangers let alone a vampire khajiit, so she hoped that keeping her hands seen and empty would be a good sign of faith. As she kept her hands across her chest to show where they are and not near her weapons or anything of his.

-

"Fash not, lass," said Rowan. "I'll make my own judgment in due time, should there be any. Come."

Down the somber stretch of corridor he led her, the only present sound coming from his footsteps, and hers, and the erratic crackling of the small torches. He came to the high iron bars of the kennel, where the hounds lay in wait for an order, for a fresh meal, or allotment of time to wander at their leisure.

There he stopped, and presented a hand to her in question.

"Could you offer me... more? You live where Skyrim's heart beats strongest, among the wilds. I wonder if you've any skill in scouting. Surely you must."

@lunarexplorers:

“Honestly I don’t know, not the first time we have been labeled outcasts by our own supposed kind. I just have a shred of hope that you aren’t like that tyrant Harkon. If you’re anything like that then I might as well be outcasted once more.”

Jewel would keep her eyes on Rowan, never looking away as she spoke so she would be letting him see if she was lying. So far she wouldn’t and she prayed in her mind that he saw this.

“Freedom is nice and all, but how can one enjoy it if they’re constantly watching their back for blade or arrow? Why is peace important to me? I am tired of needless bloodshed, I know people see our kind as monsters, I know I’m a monster, but do I have to act like one? No, I choose not to. It might not be a great reason but I treat people as people, not cattle and I will admit that I have killed supposed kin who wanted to harm people I watch over though that was when Harkon was still around. They got enough to worry about. War, Dragons, Daedra and all that.”

If she was going to die here, at least her brother was safe and that she died for a reason she believed in as she prepared for the worst from the vampire lord.

-

His chin lifted as he assessed her, lips cracked just ajar that the tips of his fangs were in view. Bewilderment had not yet abandoned him. Had he actually progressed so far with the rogues they were coming to him now? Had his warning - his trails of blood, when words were no use - cut through the night so deeply?

If only it was as easy with the rest of them.

Is she trying to distract me? The query formed as he absorbed her stream of hopes and reassurances. If she lied, and her brother was here in hiding, waiting to help her dispose of him, they'd find little success. Nevermind his own abilities and his numerous guards, he smelled his old sire lurking somewhere - Cormag was quick to dismiss his interest in any goings on within the Volkihar coven, but Divines forbid a new vampire showed up without his knowing. Territorial bastard.

"I'll offer a token of my trust," said Rowan, letting down his imposing gesture. "A token that can be reclaimed should I decide a mistake was made, on your part and mine. You're uncertain how far removed I am from Harkon's methods - I will give you the chance to see the rest of the main castle and decide for yourself. By my side, of course."
