These are the only recovered journal entries from my oldest known ancestor.
Entry 1: Day 15. I have been imprisoned by the Imperials of Cyrodiil, the reason is still unknown to me. When I first arrived from my adventures in Morrowind, I was greeted with slight hostility. Was it because i am argonian, or are people that on edge? I heard chatter the fisrt few nights I spent at The Ill Omen Inn, it was talk of the Deadra and Oblivion. The dark elf who was taken along side me from the inn was executed this morning. He shared the cell across from me. I must admit that he was my only friend in this strange province. Now I wish I would have never left Black Marsh, my home, and my family.
Day 21. They brought an older imperial man in today, he was trying to resist as they put him in the cell. He claims to be a member of the blades. He begged me to talk to him. I discovered that he was charged with tyranny, and conspiring the execution of Emperor Uriel Septim. All I can wonder is if it is the truth, but now the thought of grass and trees seems like a fantasy. Does life exist outside this cell or are we all prisoners of a greater purpose? I have been praying to the gods that they send me a sign, a siple ray of hope, so I know that I am not forgotten.
Day 38. Executioners came today, they placed a black hood on the old man today and escorted he and myself to the Emperor's Hall. The Imperial city is one of vast beauty, and ethnicity. What I thought to be the day of my death was simply my trial,
and I have been charged with theft of a horse, and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Distant memories of home and of my travels have been flooding my dreams with fear that I am dead already. If I die here I wish that these few documents of my life arrive to my family. I miss my dearest Bargna, and the feeling of my own warm bed.
Day 173. There was some commotion out side the prison a while ago, I think the guards are at war with an unknown alliance.
I can only hope that the forces pushing towards this cell have intentions of freeing the prisoners.
Day 174. I am free! The emperor has allowed me free passage all I had to do was take the Ammulet of Kings to Jauffre.
Now my hope of returning home has found a flaw. My adventures in Cyrodiil have just begun.
