Nazeem the Sword-singer #5: Rescuing a Cleric of Arkay | 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 completes a quest for the Order of Arkay, God of Birth and Death, by rescuing Bethga, a cleric and archaeologist investigating the Ruins of Blochten Palace. Afterwards, Nazeem returns to the city of Sentinel for some buying, selling, and book-reading, then accepts a new quest from Queen Akorithi.
