Nazeem the Sword-singer #3: Orcish Treachery and a Mysterious Note | Daggerfall Unity on Arch Linux
4Let's play Daggerfall Unity on Arch Linux! Join me and Nazeem al-Ash'abah, a Redguard sword-singer, as we journey throughout the Iliac Bay on my first full playthrough of this modern rebuild of The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, a classic open world fantasy RPG originally released in 1996. Along the way, I'll offer tips, trivia, and game design analysis and I hope you'll share your knowledge and opinions, too!

In this episode, Nazeem procures an elven katana and longbow and then, just before joining the Fighters Guild, accepts a quest that takes a surprising, treacherous turn (right after Nazeem's first brush with the vengeful ghost of Lysandus). Transported to a distant dungeon by the orc shaman Helargoth, Nazeem narrowly escapes and then tracks down this self-proclaimed "mortal enemy." Along the way, a note mysteriously appears in Nazeem's pack, leading to a conversation with Lady Brisienna Magnessen, agent of the Blades.
