I have been having some thoughts about how TES VI is going to tie up the story of the LDB. In particular, I was thinking about Tharstan in the Skaal Village. He was there during the events of the Dragonborn DLC, as he wanted to write another book on the Skaal people.

So, I am wondering whether this book in TES VI may be how the fate of the LDB is revealed to us. In Oblivion we can hear dialogue from NPCs discussing the rumour that the Nerevarine had gone to Akavir, and Sheogorath's dialogue in Skyrim confirms that he was the HoK. It is very likely that the LDB will end up in Apocrypha, as this would be a neat way to 'get rid' of someone so powerful, and Bethesda clearly prefers that their protagonists disappear. This book would be a good account for the LDB's end, particularly as Tharstan would have been vaguely aware of what was going on. He was present when Storn died, and Hermaeus Mora appeared. In fact, he even makes this comment during the killing scene: "By the gods... I've never seen anything like it... I, uh... I don't think this will go in my book."

This of course suggests that he won't write about these events, but, maybe he'll change his mind, after all he does seem to take some interest in the dragon priests; guiding you around Vahlok's tomb, and reading the inscriptions of what happened between Vahlok and Miraak. Also, Storn's death in itself is significant, completing the Skaal's prediciton/prophecy that Hermaeus Mora would one day win their secrets. As Tharstan is writing a book about the Skaal and their history, their traditions, why wouldn't he write about this?

forgot to include the first puzzle that says “A sacrifice will bring you closer to that which you seek.”

uh, damn, Vahlok. you wanna tell us about any sacrifices or hard choices you had to make during your life??? you wanna tell why, exactly, you feel so determined to keep going forward and not look back? any old regrets, buddy? anyone you miss who died?
