A bundle of bound journals recalling the harrowing life of the Dovakiin, from facing Alduin the World Eater to treason, to Mirrak's danger and even day to day life. Oh, and a lot of facts about alchemy. The Dovakiin was a fine alchemist and took a lot of pride in potion making.

Summary
It was like she hadn’t heard a thing he said. A hand shot out to grab him by his jaw, making sure he was looking her in the eye as she loomed over him. “Xantos Ashborne,” she said, “I need something from you, alright? I need you to be totally, completely honest with me, right now. Do you understand?”
She was speaking softly enough that her voice didn’t carry in the large chamber. The hand on his jaw forced him to nod back at her.
“Did you survive an avalanche. And a dragon attack. And then walk up a mountain, and into this crypt. While still severely wounded?”
“Nuh.” Xantos lied.
-
Xantos and Osprey make their way up the mountain, diving into Bleakfalls Barrow to recover stolen goods and threads of fate. However, Osprey quickly learns that while Xantos may be clever, this does not mean he makes good choices.Series

Summary
He was not chosen by the Gods, he is just who remains. The Last Dragonborn is dead and no one is left to stop Alduin and his consumption of the world. Landfall is here. The dreamer is finally becoming awake. It is up to Arvel the Swift, the down on his luck thief of Bleak Falls Barrow, to somehow find a way to save the world. He and his friends must defeat Alduin without destiny on their side. Normal people must do the work of demigods and the divines. The task is supposed to be impossible, but the truth isn't always easy to see.
This story includes original characters and existing cannon characters from Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind. It is a complete retcon of the story to defeat Alduin. Skyrim is fundamentally changed without the presence of the prophesied hero.

Summary
Kaidan was a boy raised without roots... and by the Nine if that didn't show. No kin, no purpose... no future to call his own. As a lad, he used to dream tall dreams of adventure and heroism. Of destiny. Of Fate. What a foolish notion that was.
In flight of the shadows of his past, Kaidan finds himself tracing old steps back to his homeland - to Skyrim, and the eternal cold of the North's embrace. He hoped, perhaps, that in uncovering the mysteries of his heritage and strange childhood, he might discover shades of the man he was supposed to be. He might even find a way to redeem himself, and become that man. But he never expected to befriend, of all people, an Imperial mage on the road; he hadn't planned on crossing paths with a lass whose Fate, it turned out, was not her own; he couldn't have guessed at the world of myths and legends she would drag them into - a world rife with dangers and threats on every front. A world in which - despite all the agony and terrors it promised - Kaidan felt he heard within it the elusive cadence of something that might have been... home.
