13th Tirdas Morning Star

Year 4E 201

I have decided to stay in Riverwood for a few days. This small village is peaceful and its people are kind. This seems to be the best place to give my soul a much-needed rest after the disaster of Helgen. I spend my time helping Hadvars' Uncle (Alvor) around the forge. He is a fine blacksmith and teaches a novice like me well. I find that when I smith I feel peaceful and relaxed.

Alvor has taught me so many things about the art of smithing. He has taught me how to master iron and bend it to my will. Now I have my own iron daggers forged by my own hand. I admit that I am quite proud of them. There is much more to learn about this work and Alvor needs me now.
