I Killed Every DLC NPC in Skyrim

  • After sitting on this task for half a year, I've donned my Morkei mask and Ebony Mail once again to rid Skyrim of all life. This time I don't feel as defeated, as the DLC characters never meant nearly as much to me as the OG NPC's, but it still was a tall task nonetheless. At the end of the day, I succeeded. There's no DLC, no characters I missed, and definitely no Ebony Warrior.

    The ebony warrior challenges you because you are the last quest he has yet to complete. He has helped everybody and slain every monster and now in his final moments he wishes to fight the legendary Dragonborn
    You have killed everybody in the land. You left no survivors and he is the last person you haven’t killed yet. So you both fight for the same reasons only one is much darker.

    An exert from a retired imperial legionnaire’s diary
    “20 years to the day, yet I recall it all the same all of Tamriel had heard the stories coming from the north a massacre on an unimaginable scale the tales of a warrior shrouded in darkness said to exude an aura of entropy all hidden behind a cold expressionless mask slaughtering the people in Skyrim by the hundreds.
    The Nords were always a stubborn folk many of them didn’t believe the stories of the Mad Dragonborn butchering townsfolk and entire guard regiments, no one believed until it was too late, not even the bordering nations couldnt believe it but the intelligence reports were all the same, man mer women and children all maimed in various ways and arranged in disturbing piles.
    Not long after all of Tamriel was well aware of the genocide taking place within Skyrims borders but none dare act in fear that the Darkness would spread. As time went on the bodies of dead began to rot and decay oozing a toxic miasma similar to one the Dragonborn radiates polluting the landscape. The stench of the dead could be smelt from all the way south as Summerset. With Skyrim being shrouded in a perpetual darkness an ancient Vampire clan thought it’d be a perfect time re-emerge as well as the Dawnguard both groups completely ignoring the true threat plaguing the land. Once the Dragonborn caught wind of their presence his carnage resumed.
    While the majority of the people of Tamriel were scared stiff of the horror on the north there were a silent few scheming of a way to loot Skyrim of its riches all free for the taking from the coin purses of the dead, the unguarded coffers of the empty holds, to the countless priceless magical items and artifacts littering the land. Eventually those people devised a plan to pose as a guild that vows to liberate Skyrim as selfless heroes to the public but in reality were nothing more than just glorified looters. The so called Liberators send multiple expeditions most of them never returned, the lucky few that did survive were traumatized but were caught with bags full of loot. Imperial intelligence relayed this information to the high imperial council prompting them to block all access to Skyrim with the might of legions. They stated it was safety reasons but just like the Liberators the Imperial Council wanted the riches of Skyrim for themselves.
    Once reports of the Dragonborn dealing the Volikhar Clan were received the Imperial high command sent the 7th Auxiliary Legion into the Rift which I unfortunately was apart of. Official our orders were to establish a foot hold in the Province and rescue survivors, unofficially we were tasked with recovering of any and all Imperial assets. Over 1200 men were deployed our journey into the Rift was quiet and uneventful the smell alone made many vomit, our main target was the city Riften I doubted if there was city left standing but to my surprise it was, upon entering the city a great sense of dread filled all of us yet none of us dared to speak the silence was almost deafening. But we had our orders so the legion combed the city emptying all the buildings of valuables and loading them into carts while the rest of us were looting the rotting corpses I remember the decayed faces of the ones I searched including the poor old remains of a child clutching a silver necklace as they must’ve laid there bleeding out. It still keeps me up at night, eventually my group found our to the city cemetery picking through the bodies scattered there. All of us were silently doing our task til we saw Him materializing before our very eyes the Blight of Skyrim Harbinger of the void The Dragonborn, we had all thought he was preoccupied in the west but here stands all of us were frozen in pure fear except for one brave soul i never learn his name but will always remember his courage, in the face of pure evil this legionnaire kept his vow and approached the Dragonborn who in turn drew his crimson greatsword shouting “By order of the Jarl, stop right there” we all stood patiently, for it seem the Dragonborn himself was confused or was busy contemplating a response after what felt like an eternity the Dragonborn reeled back and Shouted so powerfully it spilt the heavens the man in front was completely obliterated nothing but a pink mist that once was a person the rest of us were knocked back with such force it broke bones those of us able to rise were quickly hacked to pieces I wasn’t able fight i broke too many bones and was already bleeding out I took a potion before losing consciousness.
    When I awoke I found my self buried beneath the bodies of my fellow soldiers clawing my way out I stood alone amongst the bodies hundreds of legionnaires, I wept for was must’ve been hours til I found the strength to leave before I could leave I saw the sickening display at the Talo Shrine, corpses of the dead were arranged on and around the statue in a mocking manner as if they were just playthings to him. As I limped my way back home I vowed to never return to this gods forsaken land”

    The Dragonborn sits atop a mountain, pondering at all he has destroyed and murdered. Countless bodies, diseases, skeletons and ruins litter the land. As he is preparing his satchels to travel outside of Skyrim and doom the entirety of Tamriel. He hears a visible footstep from right behind him.
    A figure approaches into his view from out of the storm. A warrior just as skilled and powerful but the very stark contrast of what he is. A man who introduces himself as "The Ebony Warrior".
    The Ebony Warrior calls out the Dragonborn's name, challenging him to a fight.
    With rageful eyes and carrying on his back the vengeful souls of everything the Dragonborn has slain mercilessly, The Black Armored Warrior charges at the Dragonborn with each step shaking the very snow around them. "Sovngarde and the People of Skyrim Awaits Me!"

    It is truly terrifying to see a combination of things.
    A regular player like me, it's terrifying to see the ebony warrior get launched vertically 500 ft in the air and then crash back into the earth unharmed like a screaming fucking commet.
    To the veterans seeing the ebony warrior not just grovel at the player's feet, But to see him so thoroughly trounced that you even get an executive beheading on him.
    That shit feels like a poetical thing for the final kill to be. This guy is basically just the player at their peak if they were to complete just the main game, level 80 fully kitted out all of that jazz, he's meant to be the player after 100%-ing the base game, So to see him as this final bastion of hope against this mad dragonborn, it's extremely extremely ironic as well that the ebony warrior, this facsimile of the player character if they beat the base game, dies by beheading, the very same death the dragonborn narrowly avoided at the beginning of the game

      I feel that it's also makes sense for the world, the empire would no doubt take notice that one of their best generals has been eerily quiet for a while, and the citizens of surrounding provinces would also take notice that suddenly they stopped getting mail from families and friends, and many would no doubt notice that people who went to visit where never heard from again. The empire would send some soldiers to investigate, searching for any records of the events taking part in Skyrim written as it started going dark. Searching through the ruins the Imperial soldiers would likely find official reports detailing the movements of a certain individual, and noting how other holds suddenly became eerily silent. Some dairies would detail the fear in the hearts of the citizens of Skyrim who lose families and friends in various capitals. Eventually the soldiers would track down the movements of the individual who committed such an unspeakable act and kill them to defend their families. But it was to no avail, for the Individual responsible for the carnage was above everyone else in strength and power. And soon, the whole of Tamriel and possibly all of Nim will quake in fear as the dragonborn sets out to drown the world in death and fear.

    You head to Windhelm, desperate for answers, but when you arrive you're met with more of the same thing. A hand suddenly grabs you! You turn swiftly to find a headless courier!?
    Fear shoots up your spine! You draw your sword and he says to you, "I have a letter for you... your eyes only." Reluctantly you grab it. It describes a mass murderer slaughtering all in his wake while mumbling prayers to some God called "The Algorithm".

It's also sad that even the villians in skyrim feel more like heroes fighting you.

    I'm gonna write a story for the ending because I have nothing else to do.
    The Ebony Warrior stood atop the cold and chilling mountain, stuck in his thoughts.
    "I could have prevented this." He tells himself.
    "I could have defeated the Dragonborn before he committed this tragedy."
    The Ebony Warrior stood in silence for a few minutes, gazing off into the sky, filled with only the sound of the wind.
    Finally, after the silence, he heard something approaching.
    It was *The Dragonborn.* He had come to end it all, to finish his quest.
    But The Ebony Warrior would refuse to go down without a fight. He now knew why he was left alive, why he was spared until now.
    *He would be the last line of defense to defeat the Dragonborn.*
    He readied his weapon, and said to the Dragonborn: "You, the murderer of Skyrim, shall go no further, I shall stop you here and now."
    But the Dragonborn only chuckled, and said...
    *"Bring it on."*
    The battle commenced, and the two became locked in combat.
    Blow after blow, both taking damage from one another, the Dragonborn's magical armor being an edge in this battle of legends.
    By this point, The Ebony Warrior knew that he would soon be defeated, and then proceeded to give it his all.
    He swung at the Dragonborn with all of his fury, nearly defeating him.
    Huzzah! The Dragonborn may be defeated this day, but then...
    Swing, clang.
    The Dragonborn put The Ebony Warrior on his knees.
    He begged for mercy, but all he got were a few more moments alive.
    The Dragonborn lifted up his blade, then sliced it down.
    The Ebony Warrior was *no more.*

They went from complaining people who once committed crimes while in the Legion ranks to chads just trying to survive, and Falx was the stern, but fair captain of them. I remember the first time I played Dragonborn DLC and when I saw his name, my heart just... idk, it broke. Undead for over 200 years, stuck in his last moments of terror and pain, and not only that but having to kill him. Frickin hurt. I'm glad you gave him some praise though, he was a real one.

    Having killed himself from the shame, the Dragonborne found no solace from his sins through death.
    In truth, he grew numb to the pain. Both his own and that of everything around him. Mad with power and unwilling to bow to anything he kept carving his bloody path through the last of Skyrim and beyond.
    More and more blood soaked the soils of Tamriel. With each kill his fractured human psyche only dwindled, leaving his immortal dragon soul as all that remained.
    Leaving a Dragon's will to dominate as his sole characteristic.
    Imperial legions hunted him in desperate bids to safeguard the Empire of Cyrodil. But none were heard from again. All who crossed the borders of Skyrim never returned.
    The Dragonborn was being delayed only by forces far beyond that of mortal man. As the Dragonborn began to empty Daedric Planes.
