I apologize for the typos. I write on an iPad, so you can understand why it happens sometimes. This chapter is what you've been waiting for. You will finally see some of Atmora. Enjoy.


After three weeks of sailing, the crew could see the shores of the frozen tundra. In those three weeks, three of their members died from severe frostbite. They were getting low on food. There would likely be none for the return journey.

"What the hell are we gonna eat?" Roggar asked. "Gonna go to Atmora? Kill some snow demons? Roast them over a damn fire? It's not like there will be any life on Atmora."

"Take it easy, Roggar." said Mavos. "Even if we don't make it home we can make sure these snow demons don't either."

Roggar nodded. They were about to get off the ship because they were very close to the shore. "People of Tamriel! We gather here today to save our continent from monsters! Failure is not an option. Failure is certainly not in my vocabulary! I hope it is not in yours either. We have lost brave men and women just trying to get here. Bundle up and wear coats under your armor. I have one more thing to say to everyone. These demons are probably stronger than anything we have ever fought in Tamriel, so do not get over-confident. When everyone is on the shore I will explain our attack plan."

Each person hopped of the ships. Roggar hopped on a boulder so that everyone could see him. "Here is the attack plan. From what I can see it looks like we only have human races here. I want the Stormcloak Nords in the front of the line. Next, the Breton mages should line up. I want every Imperial to have a bow and get as high as they can to provide support for our ground warriors. The Redguards will be our last line of defense. They should be duel wielding weapons. Lastly, anyone I didn't mention stays in the back."

Mjoll put her hand on Roggar's shoulder. "Good luck, brother. I'll be in the front."

Roggar smiled behind his ebony helmet. "I'll be right beside you, sister. Now let's get up there and fight these bastards."

The troops climbed up an icy slope, and saw nothing but a field of water and ice. "So this is our battleground?" A stormcloak said. "It shouldn't be difficult to see our-" The Stormcloak got his heart ripped out of his chest. A snow demon began to punch his chest, just like a gorilla would.

"They're here!" Roggar shouted. "CHARGE!" The brave men and women charged forward with their weapons drawn. All anyone could hear was screaming and growling.

Roggar tried to say something loud after he stabbed one of the demons in the throat. "Aim for the throat! It is a weak spot!" He stabbed another one, threw it off a cliff, and rolled to the left, only to see another demon staring at him, showing its long, pointy teeth. It kicked him down the same cliff and that was the last thing Roggar saw that day.


He woke up in a very small room, but soon realized it was a Dwemer ruin. A ghost appeared before his eyes. "Hello, Roggar," it said.

Roggar stared in disbelief, curled up on the ground. "You're a...no. You're all dead...you're not..."

"My name is Telchar. And I'm glad someone found me. As for your last wonder, yes I am a Dwarf. I dragged you in here to tell you something very important."

"What is it?"

"The Dwarves are not extinct. We set up a whole colony on Akavir. Can you guess where?"

"You drove the snow demons out of Kamal...that's why they're going to attack Tamriel. I...how did you keep this secret for so long?"

"It was easy, really. No one in Tamriel knew much about Akavir. No one ever found out. It was hard to drive those snow demons out of Kamal, though. We needed the help of the Tang Mo."

"Tang Mo are the monkey people right? I know as much about Akavir as I can because it interests me."

"Yes they're the monkey people. Anyways, I have a task for you."

"What is it?"

"I need you to go to Akavir for me, see how my people are doing, then kill the Tscaesi."

"No...no I can't do that for several reasons."

"Why?"

"You've never heard of Uriel Septim the Fifth's failed invasion on Akavir?"

"I don't exactly hear a lot of news."

"This was hundreds of years ago. His forces were mauled by the Tscaesi."

"Damn snakes...If you get bitten by one you turn into one of them."

"I've decided what I want to do, Telchar."

"Yes, chosen one?"

"Only because it intrigues me...I'll go to Akavir if I can bring a few people with me."

"I can let you bring two people."

"Perfect, thank you."

"Say their names and I will conjure them down here."

"Mjoll, my sister, and Mavos, my good Breton friend."

"They should be here in a few minutes."

"How does that work?"

"I send your voice into their heads and they hear it and obey."

"That's pretty interesting." Just then, the sister and the friend arrived.

"Roggar what is it?" Mjoll asked. "Our friends are finishing the demons off. It was a good fight, there's only a few more lef- is that a dwarf?"

Mavos looked at the ghost again. "Yes, I believe that is a dwarf."

Roggar laughed. "Listen, he wants us to go to Akavir and end the evil race known as the Tscaesi. They are evil snake people who do no good. Also, the Dwarves are not extinct. They are setting up a colony on Kamal right now. That's why the snow demons tried to invade Tamriel."

Mjoll stared off into space. "I would do anything to see a living Dwarf...but Roggar, I have a family. I can't-"

Telchar interrupted her, "I can get a courier that will write to them saying you won't be back for a while."

Mjoll smiled. "Okay. I'll come with you Roggar."

"Mavos?" Roggar asked him.

"I got nothing better to do," he replied.

Telchar opened a portal to Akavir. "You will start in Tang Mo. The monkey people are kind, so they will treat you well. I will be with you every step of the way. If you need me just say my name."

"Thank you, friend," Roggar said. "Let's go, guys."

After they entered the portal, they saw nothing but a tropical battleground with tiger people fighting monkey people. "The Tang Mo and Ka Po Tun. They were said to be allies, but a lot can change over the years," Roggar said. "We should get to Kamal if this fight will be going on for a while. Maybe the Dwarves know we're coming."

Mavos and Mjoll nodded, then began walking east.


There it is! Dwarf plot twist? Awesome! Well, at least to me it was cool. I wasn't expecting to add Akavir or Dwarves this early in the story, but the lore interests me a lot. I enjoy writing this story because almost nothing is known about Akavir, so I can make it look like whatever I want. It's fun. Thanks for reading everyone!
