The Thalmor's Shadow Recast Announcement

OK! It's taken a couple of months, but I've decided I'm ready to move forward.

Pat Mahoney did an incredible job as the original voice for Taliesin and there will be some large shoes to fill. His original work will remain up on the Nexus.

This next project will be separate work with a new cast and different writing. I still have my original scripts so I'm able to work with Taliesin the way I intended before the VA stepped in as Co-Writer. So this version of Taliesin will different. Still the same in a few areas and still very snarky.

That being said. I'm looking for new VAs to be part of this project. If you know anyone who would be a good fit or would like to audition for a part, I have a C.C page up for all till the end of April.

I've also opened a Ko-Fi if anyone would like to help donate towards paying the VAs. I've done out of pocket for three years and that is a contributing factors towards why updates are so far and in between. Anything will help and would appreciate the support as I get Taliesin back and running again.

If you have any questions, comments, concerns or suggestions, feel free to reach out.

Thank you so much for the reblogs! Getting the word out really helps!

Bestie, I'm aware your cover name translates to Unwelcome/Outsider, but I think you're taking the gag too far.

Hulkynd; that's the word Thux-Ei's birth mother called her, never Velara. The word that caused her father to go mad, the word that caused him to experiment with the effects of Hist sap and what caused him to eventually combine her essence with that of one of the Marshes most reviled hunters. The pain lasted for months, pleas went unanswered; her father too focused on making sure she was "perfect". The first time she summoned the lightning that now coursed through her veins, his eyes lit up with fervent satisfaction, he had done it. Finally, she was the storm itself, she was perfect.

The crypt air was suffocating , oppressing even. Haj-Ei knew that was to be expected in the Xanmeers of old, but this felt wrong. It felt as if the Hist was weeping, mourning the loss and violation of one of its own. Haj-Ei continued to creep along the corridor, keeping to the shadows. Movement in his peripherals halted him, she was pale, unforgivably pale with splotches of dark scales curling up the right side of her frail body. Haj-Ei's heart ached, her breathing was weak, if he didn't take her back to the village now, she wouldn't make it through the night.

Seems his mission would have to wait.

Nebby-Barra got stuck in a fighting pose, but it was ok because he made the lighting Bonita

[the-creature-22]

"By the Hist, what is that?"

He doesn't seem to like it when Thux-ei summons a friend to aid them...

[the-creature-22]

To add to this saga, I've picked up Nebby-Barra and unlocked (spawned in) the ability to summon my very own Chaurus. I'll eventually pick up the pet spider and set her home as where-ever I decide Neb is staying.

His name is Cheese.

[the-creature-22]

An updated look on Thux-ei's scales, they're no longer black as they changed to the Bright-Throats colours after her first molt.

(Did I make a lore update based on a texture update my dear friend Caitly made for us in the discord channel, yis, yis I did. I'll hyucking do it again.)

Also her scarf got an update, because in my big brain moments that I am prone to having once every few days, I had a vision (spaced out) that Mama An-Rei is 100% the kind of mother that sends her daughter a care package with a note that says "You wear too much black, here's a scarf with some colour on it. Love Mom, XOXO."

[the-creature-22]

"By the Hist, what is that?"

He doesn't seem to like it when Thux-ei summons a friend to aid them...

[the-creature-22]

-New gremlin, she is called Velara by outsiders. She was raised in the Bright-Throat Village in Blackmarsh, following her discovery and rescue by a traveling mage, she was 13. She bore signs of experimentation, her back covered in black scales and her eyes the colour of an adder's. She was named Thux-Ei by a kind egg-tender and her now mother, An-Rei.

-She decided to keep her Saxhleel name as friends and family only, as such most people know her as Velara. Xelzaz was the first person she shared her name with, Remi coming in as the second!

-She cannot hear the Hist, she isn't Argonian. She can sense Xelzaz's presence and that of her mother if she focus'. But its at a low frequency, like she's on the outside looking in.

-As for the explanation as to why she can sense her mother and Xelzaz, the experiment involved her being micro dosed with Hist sap over six years of her life. It left her stronger and healthier than most, but silent and quick to anger. As such she spent most of her formative years learning to control it. Nowadays she has full control over her temper and is calm and collected, she still barely talks above a whisper though. Xelzaz and Remi usually fill the silence and she is more than content to listen.

-She can speak and understand Jel fluently, but because of the lack of tail and proper vocals she sounds monotone and analytical. Her body language also comes off as emotionless, so she uses a lot of overly expressive phrases to communicate her intended body language. Xelzaz often teases her, earning a slight hiss of annoyance when done so. She assists in helping Remi learn Jel the way she did.

Also, the first time she spoke to Xelzaz in Jel was during the Miasma questline. The look on his face still makes her snort.

Priceless.

[the-creature-22]

Xelzaz and Lyra are watching the active dumpster fire that is Rigmor (affectionate, she's trying her best, leave her alone) try to find where the front gate is, while Keeko rummages through Lyra's pack as he knows she has the good snacks.

[the-creature-22]

Babes, you guys have been making eyes at each other for the past ten minutes-

Meanwhile Lucien and Val:

"Can we go?"

[the-creature-22]

So I did a thing, a kinda cute thing.

The locket (it's a medallion in game, I'm head-cannoning that it's a locket) that Lyra is wearing is etched with Tally's birth sign, The Lover.

The locket that Tally is wearing is etched with the birth sign that Lyra would have been born under if she was from Nirn, The Shadow.

Both lockets contain the person whom it represents lock of hair (it was time for a trim, he still huffed while handing it over, and Lyra did say he didn't have to do that the symbolic nature of the signs was enough for her).

They wear each other over their heart.

[the-creature-22]

I think he likes his vacation to the Isles so far, the location at least. The ruling body he's calculating what poison to use on them. Good thing his best friend Freya has managed to grow Jarrin Root outside it's natural habitat, and shares that knowledge with him.

[ryan-sometimes]

It’s wild to me to see transvestigator conspiracy theories online that could be so easily explained by natural human variation. That woman has a deep voice? Yeah, sometimes they do. A woman has broad shoulders?? Maybe she plays rugby or hits the gym a fuckton. There’s a “bulge” in her tight pants?? Maybe her vulva is just fat. All the “markers” of trans woman that transvestigators use to harass any woman aren’t even things unique to trans women.

[ryan-sometimes]

Transphobes talk about women like they’re Barbies. Have you forgotten the existence of cameltoe? Tiny boobs? Narrow hips? Broad shoulders? Why do you think choirs have altos and not just sopranos? What do you think female athletes look like? Do you think a woman that lifts weights and plays contact sports will look like a 90s supermodel? At what point in history did we collectively forget that human bodies have natural variability???

Really fun laszlo/matt s6 collection posted by the official shadows insta 🦇

[the-creature-22]

Ah yes, romantic candle lit dinner-

Xelzaz

Xelzaz, please.

[the-creature-22]

So Xelzaz's comment about our mastery of Destruction Magic being absolutely terrifying, and that we could level a city in a matter of seconds if we wanted to, made me nervous chuckle. Because Frey can do this:

She can call down a Meteor Shower like it's nothing, and did so on instinct when some one threatened Khash, while she was escorting Xelzaz to the Hammerfell Border.

10/10 he was looking back at that like "Ok, don't need to worry about her protecting Khash."

[the-creature-22]

So the party minus Neb as he's a little rebel, lined up like this and-

Babes, you're not subtle
