About this image

Luciana Galena, bretonian vampire



As Luciana and Serana entered the cave, they saw some glowing light in front of them. It was wormlike creature, which retreated into their shells, when someone came near them.



As they went deeper into the cave, Oblivion seemed to have opened it gates. They were comstatly attacks by creatures, which lived in the Dark.

Like Falmer.




Like Chaurus.



Like Albino-Pitroamer.

Luciana took on her heavy armour, as she and Serana didn't know what would expect them in the next cave or next cave passage.

In every new cave or passage they were attacked by Falmer.


They found Chrysalises of Chaurus Hunters, the last stage in the life cycle of a chaurus.

The huts of the Falmer were built by gigantic chaurus.

Defended fiercely by their inhabitants.

They walked through waterfalls  deeper and deeper into Darkfall Passage.


Then Luciana and Serana found the ones, which tried to cross Darkfall Passage before them.


Were they sacrificed to a Dark God of the Falmer?


Or was it simply a mockery of Auri-El from his former children?

Luciana and Serana had no time to think about it.




Then the path started to went up again.

Then Luciana and Serana reached the exit blocked by a large stone door. In the skeleton in front of the door they found a notice, that the door was secured with traps.



What tried the Falmer to keep out? Luciana soon knew...




They reached a great cave dome.

It was populated by strange creatures, which guarded a big bug.




And poisonous plants.

But as undead they did no harm to them.

Then they found the first wayshrine with its dead priest.



Luciana refilled the jug and opened the way to the next station.


The Forgotten Valley. They were happy to see the surface again.

    Schöner dungeon crawl mit toll eingefangenen Kreaturen der Dunkelheit.
    Die Bilder vom Kampf gegen denCharus finde ich wegen des fliegenden Haares unglaublich lebendig und echt.
    Die mit den Skeletten und dem lila Hintergrund sind special für die Gesamtausstrahlung :'

      Danke. Physics HDT möchte ich wegen den Haaren nicht mehr missen.

      Ja, der Kultplatz ist schaurig schön morbid und macht meine kleine Grufti-Seele happy.

    Great segment today, creepy and yet fascinating! Your Sacrifice and Mockery statements in the middle of the set were extremely interesting! Something I never thought of, but I like the concept very much! I also very much like the elements of suspense that you include, enhanced in this case by the dark lighting as Luciana and Serana travel through the darkness.

    I wonder if I have any images from this part that I never showed. My Serana looks very different (as you might expect from me), and I also had our Eloise Dawnbringer (from the mod I did with Laoshan99) with us... and then later Tania the Hermit too. Because I love loot, and Eloise and I could not carry any more so I summoned Tania to us with a spell. So then I realized I actually published a set back in September of 2021 called "Quest for a Bow" - not a story set like yours, just some random images and comments from me. I did not want to share a link because it contains spoilers. When you finish these quests, or if you have played this quest line many times, let me know and I will share the link with you, if you are interested at all.

      Thank you very much, CMH. That were the thoughts i had when i saw this ritual place. The Darkfall Passage has a scary atmosphere. I tried to catch a glimpse of it.

      I'm very curious about your screenshots and i would like to see them. As i played the Quest several times too.

      Here is the link: Quest for a Bow - to anyone else reading, the linked set has some spoilers if you never played this quest line.

      PS. My server seems really slow at the moment, so give it time to load up! Of course... that might just be my internet is really slow, not the server where my images are, so hopefully it will not take long for you!

      The screenshots were very entertaining, i like them very much. Eloise killing the Dragon was awesome!

      I had with my character Muriel more luck with action shots two years ago.

      Thanks! Eloise is an awesome follower... but Luciana might not like her too much, as Eloise is a vampire hunter by design and back story. Her weapons and custom Auriel Lightning spells are all geared towards fighting the undead. However, as a follower to a vampire player she should work just fine, although I am not sure I actually tested that before we published her.  But she had no problem with Serana when we were all together.

      Your older images are fantastic too! That part of the quest is great for images, if you are fast enough to get them, and you did! I do not think I have ever seen images of the dragon under the ice - that was very cool! Haha... very cool image I meant, but also very cool/cold environment as well.

      That set I linked was very unusual for me, since it wasn't a planned set. So while I grabbed some images for me along the way, I didn't intend to publish them. Not sure why I did end up publishing, except maybe to give Eloise some more exposure during that quest line, and to show my Serana (she is cured now and lives at my main player home Skyfall Estate where my 6 daughters live) - Serana still is more active at night in my game, taking a shift outside guarding Skyfall late at night, and sleeps during the day. She does like to go swimming in the indoor pool, too. In theory, sunlight does not bother her physically, but old habits die hard.

      Thank you.

      I ithink Luciana would have no problem with Eloise. As long as she won't try to bring her into the light or to purify her.^^

      That was a good pun with cool.

      Serana is from 1 E. She has a lot of bad habbits. ^^ I think i have cured her too with my female char Salma the Redguard and she was her spouse.

      It all depends on the background of the character.

      Thank you Nela. Yes the Darkfall Passage is really giving you a nice shiver. Has some nice Giger Aesthetic.
