Nazeem the Sword-singer #8: Nulfaga | Daggerfall Unity on Arch Linux
7Let'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 returns to the city of Daggerfall and accepts a quest from Queen Aubk-i to check on her grandmother-in-law, Nulfaga, a renowned mystic and mother to the late King Lysandus whose ghost haunts the city. To find Nulfaga, Nazeem must venture deep into the Wrothgarian Mountains of northeastern High Rock and defeat numerous mages as he navigates the labyrinthine halls of Nulfaga's decrepit castle: Shedungent.
