The Dawnbreakers’ Saga is a story set in the world of the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It’s told in six parts, via a combination of in-character voice acting and roleplay, scripted “cutscenes,” and a film score distinct from the in-game soundtrack. It started as an experiment in response to the Character Crusade podcast, and as the series has gone on my technical skill and story telling ability have grown right alongside each other. Now, it’s perhaps my biggest, most bad-ass creative project to date.
“LitRPG… but backwards. Rather than real people in a game world, it’s imaginary people in a world that is very real to them.”
Each part follows one of the primary characters, as their stories wind throughout the province of Skyrim (and beyond) and their paths cross with each other. As we get closer to the culmination of main quest lines, their stories become ever more intertwined.
The six parts are as follows, in order of when they started. Feel free to click on each title to learn more:
Intonation
Vagrant
Unblooded
Honorless
Executioner
Book of Shadows
