head of the Bravil Mages Guild and her loser boyfriend from that one awesome Oblivion quest

[thaliendir]

during first meeting in dream world , something about thali catch henantier's eye . perhaps this was just that stranger bravely come to rescue , without even know what would be ahead ...

but as two meet again and again in reality , affections become clear - henantier was in love . could not read thali's feelings , however , so choose to stay silent in hopes of not jeopardise friendship .

and then , thali disappear - from bruma to leyawiin , and anvil to cheydinhal , no one could find any trace for two weeks . henantier wonder if silence was really best choice .

but upon return , something was ... different . re-adopt full birth name of thaliendir , for one thing , but even beyond that ... thaliendir seem to look at world differently now . this become even more apparent as oblivion crisis come to close - between grief , recklessness , and simple pressures of attention and status ... would be in no shape to take love right now .

so henantier continue to stay silent , and watch as beloved friend unravel year by year , decade by decade . as each one pass , silence is no longer problem - happy to meet thaliendir exactly where love is at , even if might wish for certain other displays , know will never get . so long as able to hold close as friend , to see happiness , that is enough .

what really trouble henantier is all of unknowns - is sheogorath truly behind this ? why was that thaliendir's choice ? was there something henantier could have done , should have done , to prevent this ?

and just how much longer will thaliendir be here ? will henantier even know when farewell means forever ? want to love until end of time , but time stop for no one . all there is to do is treasure each moment which happen , and try to put worries aside .

sometimes that is just not so easy .

special special love to @madness-mantled and @dagothurgent for help with parts of process that trip up <3

Concept for Henantier's Dreamworld Amulet.

If there are any modders reading, the artist of this piece is willing to have it converted to Oblivion Remastered. I'd love to see it in-game.

it’s cute that after you complete that quest, sometimes you can spot Henantier visiting Kud-Ei at the Mages Guild :)

Do you have an opinion on the continent of Aldmeris? You know, the one that may not actually exist in-universe (but is still portrayed on all maps)?

Okay so this took me a bit because I had to do some thinking on it! 

So Aldmeris.  Literally only a non canon source says it’s 100% made up, but for whatever reason that’s given more credit than the in game stuff. Basically, my opinion on it is it is not completely real or completely fake, but that it’s one of those things that should remain unknown. 

From a meta standpoint, I don’t want a game to say “Oh yeah it’s fake” because that ruins the entire point of having a place like that.  Some may think it’s a cool twist, but it’s honestly pretty lame and a cop out if say Atlantis: The Lost Empire had no Atlantis. 

But on the other side of it, I never want a game to involve traveling there.  At most, if there was some sort of going there in a dream or memory, that would be cool, but it needs to stay hidden, mysterious and lost, otherwise, what’s the point?
