Welcome to my Realm of Madness
Greetings fellow travelers! I, Ten-Tongues, welcome you to my humble corner of the Shivering Isles. Here I document my journeys through both Mania and Dementia as I interview the fascinating residents of our Lord Sheogorath's realm.
NEW! LATEST UPDATE: I met the most peculiar Khajiit today who claimed his whiskers could taste colors. After sharing some skooma with him, I began to understand exactly what he meant!
As an Argonian artist and chronicler, I've found my true calling documenting the beautiful madness of the Shivering Isles. My scales shine with the colors of inspiration as I travel these divided lands.
Though my tongue may be forked, my words are true. Well, true-ish. Sometimes the skooma makes the truth a bit... flexible.
I first arrived in the Isles after following a mysterious butterfly through a strange door in Niben Bay. At first, I thought the skooma had finally broken my mind, but no hallucination could be this beautiful... or terrifying.
Day 246: Spent the morning searching for Runs-in-Circles. Found her running around Passwall again. Brought her carrots. She seemed pleased, but didn't stop running.
Day 247: Had another dream about Xenotrek. Those pastel red dreadlocks were glowing. Something about "reality fractures" and "psychidelic nexus points." Must remember to ask Dyus about the meaning.
Day 249: Interviewed a Dark Seducer today. Asked about her armor. She threatened to gut me like a fish. I think we really connected.
Day 250: Double distilled a new batch of skooma. Added nightshade essence and powdered daedra heart. Colors taste purple now. The walls are breathing. Good batch.
My personal skooma recipe adds crushed deathbell and nightshade for that extra kick. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NOVICES.
Moon sugar can be substituted in desperate times, but the visions are less... intense. Remember: the key to good skooma is in the distillation process.
Ten-Tongues' Premium Madness Blend
- 2 cups refined moon sugar
- 1 nightshade petal, crushed
- 2 deathbell flowers
- 1 pinch of void salts
- 3 drops of hist sap (personal touch)
- Distilled water from the Fountain of Madness
Warning: May cause reality to bend, time to fold, and your shadow to detach and dance with you.
I wish I could keep up with my beloved Runs-in-Circles, but alas, my stamina is woefully inadequate. No matter how many potions I drink or how much I train, I simply cannot match her incredible endurance.
Current stamina level:
Last time I tried to run with her, I collapsed after only 37 seconds. She continued running for 6 more hours.
Perhaps skooma isn't helping my stamina situation...
