“Who Can Fix This? It Can’t Be Fixed. This Is The Way Things Are Now, Until We Die. The Gods Have

Pluto’s Gate

Located in Turkey, this site was discovered in 2013. A description of a similar temple exists in 6th century texts, and it is strongly believed to be the same temple. Known as Ploutonion, or Pluto’s Gate, this “gate to hell” emits thick and deadly vapors that kill birds and other animals unfortunate enough to get close. Bulls and other animals used to be sacrificed at this temple, though now it only claims the life of the occasional bird with bad luck. 

“Gods give me strength.”

List of Non-sexual forms of intimacy

Enjoying some quality time with bae until your baka little brother has to interrupt. We were having a moment, Genji. The wolves were howling for us.

also I'm deeply enjoying how drastically different the Imperials and Nords see the Dragonborn. like in Nord culture, the Dragonborn is the archrtypical Nord hero and to what all Nords of all stations can and should aspire to, they're a religious and cultural symbol and myth and embodiment of the Old Ways when Skyrim could stand against dragons and come out victorious, when the Nords were the center of human civilization on Tamriel before Skyrim was just another province in the empire.

meanwhile the Imperials hear 'Dragonborn' and think: emperors and conquerors, the imperial bloodline, the very foundation of the state and the religious pantheon. people don't just aspire to be like Dragonborn bc the Dragonborn is basically walking proof of the divine right of kings. Dragonborn to the imperials embodies the dragon part, not the dragon slayer. and more than anything, the Dragonborn is the embodiment of the state itself and the empire's legitimacy.

all of this is to say: both General Tullius and Ulfric Stormcloak must've been over the moons excited for the appearance of the Dragonborn and taken it for granted that the LDB would join their side over the other and give them an unbeatable boost in morale and credibility. meanwhile Rikke, the only one who seems to really, genuinely get both cultures, is just "Ah shit, this is gonna suck."
