Aetheria: The Silent Magus
Seven years ago, the Supreme Magus Rex Ardyn vanished after defying the Crown of Aetheros - destroying the royal fragment that could lead to the mythical Heart of Aeons. To the kingdom, he was a traitor. To the Arcane Council, a heretic. Now, the Heart has been found. Summoned from exile, Rex returns to a kingdom changed by ambition and haunted by its past. Beneath the marble halls of Aetheros, kings whisper of salvation, queens weave promises of power, and the Arcane Council conspires behind silken smiles. But the truth buried in the Heart is not salvation - it is a prison. Within it stirs The Nihilanth, the King of the Void-kin - the ancient darkness sealed away by the First Mage, Merlin, and the Ancients themselves. Bound by duty, haunted by guilt, and shadowed by deceit, Rex must decide whether to help the kingdom that once betrayed him... or let it be consumed by the very power it seeks to control. Because some relics are never meant to be awakened. And in the echoes of Aetheria, even salvation demands a price.
The Age of Embers.
The Age of Embers. In the shadowed dawn of the world, before mortal tongues sang of sorrow or glory, dragons ruled the skies as stewards of balance, born of flame and memory. Among them, Ignis, the Eternal Flame, bore the wisdom of ages, upholding harmony between sacred fire and the ever-changing world. But where fire glows, shadow rises, and mankind emerged from dust with the will to choose, forging a fragile place in a world not made for them. What began in awe twisted into envy. Reverence soured into fear. And from fear, betrayal was born. Thus fell the dragons, hunted and broken beneath steel and pride. The noble Solis deceived. The wrathful Caelum struck down. And at last, only Ignis remained-her fate entwined with a queen, whose choices would echo into legend. Told in eight short, sweeping books, The Age of Embers is a tale of war and wisdom, of legacy and loss. It is the passing of an age... and the uncertain birth of another. Yet even as the fire dims, one ember endures. A dragon hatchling, Vaelith, born into silence and guided by a lone sage, awakens in the deep places of the world. And with him, a question rekindles: Can fire, once broken by fear, rise in understanding?Complete

A Mage in the Night: A Skyrim Story

On her first mission, she comes across a crime syndicate who stole a priceless Dwemer mask. Aisha will travel all across Skyrim, gain new powers, and discover the true power of the Dwemer mask, and herself. This is my first completed fanfiction, and I encourage critical comments on prose, plot, and pacing. I tried to stick to the lore as best I could, and everything should (mostly) transition to the main plot of the game. I also tried to translate game mechanics and buffs as best I could in a literary format. I hope you enjoy it :) Disclaimer: The original characters are mine, but everything else belongs to Bethesda.
