The only man who can avert the crisismayalso be responsible for it — even he's not sure yet. That man is Berry Longfellow, failed sorcerer turned academic student of fate. But despite his professed innocence, the events of Berry's past inexorably link him to the crisis. Fate, in its ironic wisdom, has chosen a strange hero.

From the first few chapters alone, I’ve been hooked. Berry is such a believably goofy character, and I’m excited to see where this goes. Being that it’s one of the only Elder Scrolls fanfics on RR, I hope it rules that niche for a lot longer. My only gripe is that there’s a fair amount of grammatical errors, but it’s nothing that hampers the text.

Make no mistake, this is not a generational novel, or the greateat i have ever read--it is however, good. The story is paced competently and well thought out. Grammar is not an issue and characters are independent and distinctive.
From a elderscrolls lore perspective I believe it does take liberties, but all the liberties it has taken feel cohesive with the world overall. Meaning there are artifacts that have not been mentioned or viewed in any of the recent mainline games and ruins to which i recall no referance (perhaps this is referance to the tacenci but i feel that the narrator due to his scholarshipwould know of them). Importantly for these facts, it feels contiguous with the world as a whole, study of the tides of fate which are bound in the scrolls seems feasible for example, especially in referance to the nibanese cults from which decend the well known moth priests.
The story is worth a read, i advise it.
