Improved Emperor's Guide summary page
Flaccus Terentius has dedicated the book to his beloved, Honoria Lucasta. The dedication is in the form of a poem, but he thinks it's sappy and isn't satisfied with it. The foreword of the book explains the book's mission: he has been chosen by Chancellor Abnur Tharn to revise the outdated Emperor's Guide to Tamriel. He hopes that his name will appear alongside other well-known authors' books and that it will prove as a definitive guide to Tamriel.
Cyrodiil
Flaccus describes his past: he grew up in Bravil, and there weren't many opportunities to use his skills as a painter there, so he went to the Imperial City and has made a meager living there.
Flaccus met with Chancellor Abnur Tharn in the Imperial Palace. They spoke a bit, and Tharn explained that the Curator of Art in the Imperial Library would retire in a while, but that in the meantime, Flaccus is to create a revised, updated version of the book, traveling around Tamriel. Flaccus learned that the chancellor had already prepared everything he'd need for his journey, and so he prepared to embark, deciding to create a scrapbook as a rough draft for his new edition of the book.
High Rock
Upon landing in High Rock, Flaccus paid a street urchin to give him directions to Wayrest. He soon found out that the youngster's directions led him the wrong way - straight into dreugh spawning grounds. Flaccus sketched one, and then returned and taught the young man a lesson about misleading travelers.
Flaccus made his way to Stormhaven. Flaccus met with High King Emeric of the Daggerfall Covenant in Wayrest. It was brief, however: he quickly greeted Flaccus, spoke of his distaste for Abnur Tharn, and said that he could claim a stipend from the Wayrest bank, before moving onto other business.
After the audience with the king, Flaccus got a Lion Guard escort, and went to the Wayrest Cathedral. He traveled toward Shornhelm, in Rivenspire, and came across Pariah Abbey, which was dedicated to the worship of Azura. He took a wrong turn and came across a statue of Vaermina, but, after sketching it, managed to find his way back to the inn where he had been staying.
Flaccus notes that there are vampires known as Bloodfiends being seen more frequently in Rivenspire. The city of Shornhelm itself, Flaccus found dull, and so he decided to move onward to Daggerfall. He met a Lion Guard named Mannick Noellaume, who was assigned to protect Flaccus. The pair was attacked by wolves, and then by a Lurcher. They parted at Cath Bedraud, an ancient cemetery.
Flaccus stayed at Cath Bedraud for the night and sketched it, traveled through Hag Fen (complaining about the smell and the fact that said smell has not yet been properly documented), and then into the Glenumbra forests. Flaccus encountered a woman that led him to the Wyrd Tree. The witches there were polite and gave him some soup, though they did not allow him to sleep in their tents (which he ignored after being awakened by nightmares). At the edge of the forests, near Deleyn's Mill, a peddler offered his wares, which Flaccus scorned as rubbish. The peddler then transformed into a werewolf. Flaccus fled. Fortunately, the werewolf slowed to pick up a cup he'd dropped, which allowed Flaccus time to get close enough to Deleyn's Mill that he could be protected by the archers there.
After a barmaid commented on Flaccus' harpy-feather quill, saying he must have gotten it at Shrieking Scar, Flaccus decided to travel there. He sketched a harpy and collected some feathers he'd found, respecting his quill merchant more highly.
Flaccus notes that he had gone to Daggerfall because the history of it that was in the original guide was supposedly inaccurate, but he found that it was correct. He visited the Fighters Guild, was refused entry to Castle Daggerfall, and spent some time in the Mages Guildhall.
Flaccus decided to stay the night at the Rosy Lion, an inn in Daggerfall. He met a Redguard named Uwafa, who said that his master was looking for an Imperial decorator. Flaccus' next memories are a blur of stumbling through Daggerfall after Uwafa, who made comments about "the Mark of the Worm". A dog attacked the Redguard, which attracted the Daggerfall Watch. Uwafa fled, and Flaccus was grateful to the dog for saving his life.
Hammerfell
Flaccus arrived in Hammerfell. He notes that the Redguards are more dignified than the Bretons; also, he has learned about how important a Redguard's sword is to him. He waited for an audience with King Fahara'jad and watched the way that he dealt with his people. He liked the way that Fahara'jad treated him: speaking to him as an equal, giving him a note that would allow him to ask merchants for anything, and inviting him to his daughter's handfasting ceremony. Toward the end of the ceremony, Flaccus was invited outside by an Imperial trader named Maximian Memmius. Memmius accused Flaccus of not filing an intelligence brief, which bewildered Flaccus - he had no idea what the man was talking about.
He admired the Redguard architecture and explored Sentinel. He spotted Uwafa down near the harbor, and chased after him, shouting. Something hit him in the head, and he lost consciousness.
He awakened in an ancient Redguard necropolis, bound to a stone with Uwafa standing over him. He branded Flaccus in the chest with the "Mark of the Worm", and then was about to sacrifice him when suddenly a group of Redguard warriors burst into the clearing, attacking the undead and freeing Flaccus. It was the Ash'abah, a tribe of undead-fighters, who had come to his rescue.
Not wanting to return to Sentinel, he traveled with them through the desert. After encountering creatures on the way, they made it to a mausoleum near Bergama, and Flaccus realized that their purpose was to destroy the undead because it is blasphemous to Redguards to slay their own kin (dead though they may be). A warrior destroyed the wraith, and they continued into the deep parts of the desert before eventually making it to Bergama.
The Ash'abah were not allowed in the city, so Flaccus went inside to buy supplies. Unfortunately, he discovered that he was wearing the wrong amulet - not the one to improve bartering - and between that and being tipsy, he spent all of his and the Ash'abahs' money. He returned to them (with the excuse that prices were high) and they went to Tu'whacca's Throne, a gigantic monument to the dead. Flaccus made some poor decisions that resulted in him awakening the mummy of Ra Boshek, "the evil usurper-king", which went after the nearby town of Leki's Blade. Marimah, the chief of the Ash'abah, defeated it, and afterward told Flaccus that he was no longer fit to travel with them.
Flaccus hired a ferry to take him to Evermore, and had nightmares of worms along the way, his brand burning. As he left, he vowed to never return.
Northern Bangkorai and the Mountains
Flaccus visited the Evermore Palace and met King Eamond, Queen Arzhela, Prince Edrien, and the Orc king Kurog. Kurog granted Flaccus a writ of passage with an Orc caravan through Wrothgar. They came upon a destroyed hunter's camp, realizing that Reachman invaders were active in the area. They unfortunately experienced this for themselves: they were attacked by a band of Reachman. In the ensuing fight, Flaccus and a few others were separated from the rest of the caravan, captured, put in a cage, and carried for several days.
The others were released and killed as sport for Hircine. Flaccus was spared because the Reachmen's leader wanted to have his portrait painted. He was forced a potion and spent the rest of the journey delirious.
He awoke in a stone cell in Markarth before Mannimarco, the King of Worms. Mannimarco noticed the mark on Flaccus, taunted him that he had a fate worse than death in store, and told him that he'd soon meet a mutual friend. The friend ended up being Javad Tharn. Javad gave Flaccus a drink that made him fall asleep, and as he drifted off, he heard Javad giving someone an order to take Flaccus to Nchuand-Zel and leave him for the Daedra and Molag Bal.
Flaccus found himself in a Dwemer ruin the next time he awakened. A Dremora Caitiff tortured him. Eventually he was rescued by Vanus Galerion, the Altmer founder of the Mages Guild. Flaccus was relieved to be rescued at first - until Vanus, displeased with Flaccus' sketches of him, decided to alter his images. Vanus informed him that they were going to Windhelm next.
Skyrim
Vanus Galerion teleported Flaccus and himself to just outside Windhelm. While Galerion tended to business at the Mages Guild, Flaccus explored the city and decided to look for the local ruler. He was directed to King Jorunn's home, Stone-Fist Hall. He mildly insulted the bard, only to learn that this was actually the king himself. As "punishment", Jorunn asked Flaccus to improvise a limerick about one of the men in the hall. The king introduced Flaccus to Mera Stormcloak, the Lawthane of Windhelm. Mera invited Flaccus to join her on a walk around the city for a head count on the city's troops. They checked the Fighters Guild and the Windhelm Barracks, though Flaccus doesn't remember much of it all - or what happened afterward - as the mead he'd been offered was quite strong.
He had a nightmare of Daedra and Mannimarco, and upon waking, uneasily blamed it on the mead. He found his way back to Mera at the Cold-Moon Inn, and then she brought him to another inn, the Sober Nord Inn, to meet her battle brother Holgunn One-Eye. They proceeded to have a night of drinking and festivities.
The next morning, Holgunn and Mera introduced Flaccus to Thorbjolf the Red and Ingjard Stone-Hand, two Nords who were to join them on a hunting party that Flaccus had apparently drunkenly arranged the night before. Though Flaccus was dreading it, he found that he enjoyed the boisterous Nords' company and was impressed by the wilderness. Their trip took them through the Velothi mountains to Skuldafn, and to the hot springs of Eastmarch, where Flaccus got separated from the rest of the group in the fog. He was rescued from a troll by a trio of Companions: their Harbinger, Vigrod Wraithbane, and his Shield-Brothers Uli and Rargal. They brought him to Fallowstone Hall, where he enjoyed listening to their stories, but he was plagued by more nightmares of Mannimarco. He woke up outside Riften with no memory of how he got there, and joined a caravan on the way to Morrowind.
Stonefalls and Deshaan
Flaccus rode along with the caravan of two Nords, Fenrig and Roggvir, which traveled through part of Stonefalls. Their first stop was Kragenmoor, and Flaccus was surprised by how different it was from the descriptions he'd read in Imperial texts. Afterward they traveled to Mournhold, where Flaccus left the two Nords (whom he considered to be idiots). While in a cornerclub he was mistaken for another Imperial and brought into some sort of hideout in the basement. A few Dunmer rushed in and one of them used some sort of spell to put Flaccus to sleep. When he awoke, he was brought before Almalexia herself, who instructed a Dunmer woman named Urili Vox to guide Flaccus through Morrowind and teach him about Dunmer culture.
Vox brought Flaccus to an Ashlander camp, where he was welcomed as a Clanfriend, and then to various farms, including a netch farm, a shalk farm, and a guar farm. Flaccus grew quickly bored with these, but hid his feelings. They traveled to a kwama mine next, and then Vox took him to a Shrine to Boethiah, which he found impressive. His visions and pain from his brand came back again.
After the shrine, one of Vox's group, a woman named Bathrone Rendo, told Flaccus that she'd been instructed to take him to Black Marsh, and their journey was relatively uneventful. Flaccus was met there by an Argonian named Meeleeh-Een.
