keeping the stars apart

A three-by-three moodboard composed of nine black and white images. In the top row is a hand through white locks of hair, Sovngarde's sky, Miraak. In the middle row are three dragons in flight, shooting stars, horse riders in a snowy forest. In the last row is a pair of armoured gauntlets, towers of books in Apocrypha, and an outstretched hand creating a ball of flame.

"I will go, and I will live as long as you live, as our souls are intertwined. I will look for you where I cannot see, for you call for me still."

As Fate would have it, the Wheel turned upon Akatosh’s most beloved children. Yet, at the Summit of Apocrypha, where soul meets soul and knowledge meets knowledge, three doom-driven would-be heroes are caught in a battle of good and evil, Aedra and Daedra alike, and between time itself.

No one realized that the Realm had no stars.
