Allea's Point of View
I stepped off the Northern Maiden onto the ashy shores of Solstheim. I looked around, and as I examined the Dunmer city of Raven Rock, I was approached by a Dunmer in robes.
"I don't recognize you, so I'll assume this is your first visit to Raven Rock, outlander. State your intentions."
"I'm looking for Miraak. Do you know him?"
"Miraak...I...I'm...I'm not sure that I do. Just remember, Raven Rock is sovereign territory of House Redoran. This is Morrowind, not Skyrim. While you're here you will be expected to abide by our laws."
"Do you know who Miraak is?"
"I...I'm unsure. I swear I know the name, but I cannot place it."
"Can you tell me anything about him?"
"I don't think so. I'm not...The name has something to do with the Earth Stone, I think. But I'm not sure what."
"Thank for your time, sir," I said politely.
"No problem. Now get out of my face!"
I asked around about the Earth Stone, then, knowing where it was, I trekked to it, where I saw, in addition to a bunch of people gathered around it working, I saw a Dunmer in the same robes as the man who had spoken to me when I got off the boat. I groaned, expecting it to be the same man, who I didn't particularly like. I approached, and found that he wasn't the same man. He turned my way and approached.
"You there...You don't quite seem to be in the same state as the others. Very interesting. May I ask what it is you're doing here?"
"I'm looking for someone named Miraak."
"Miraak...Miraak...It sounds familiar but I can't quite place...Oh. Wait. I recall. But that makes very little sense. Miraak's been dead for thousands of years."
I was starting to get a bad feeling about this whole endeavor, but I was glad I hadn't brought Serana, because I knew that this probably was a very dangerous mission and I might just have been in over my head.
"What does that mean?"
"I'm not sure, but it is fascinating, isn't it. Perhaps it has some relation to what's going on here. Quite unexpected. I'm afraid I can't give you any answers. But there are ruins of an ancient temple of Miraak's toward the center of the island. If I were you, I'd look there."
I liked this Dunmer more than the one on the docks. This one wasn't necessarily nice, but he was less rude, and he had been much more helpful.
"Thank you, sir."
As I journeyed across the plains of Solstheim to the temple, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched. I would turn in full circles, and look around me, only to see no one, but still not losing the feeling of being watched. The thought that who knows who, or what was watching me could evade my sight, even when I used all three words of Aura Whisper and my various detection spells was frightening.
So, who (or what) do you think is watching her, and how is this person (or entity) evading her spells and shouts?
