Blimey!!...

Awright mate!!...
An excellent chapter, as ever...
That was so cool...Possibly the discussion on the finer points of the digestive system could have been...Lesser...(Perhaps more fiber?)...But that's just me... ...
But loved the idea of his breaking in to the place...
Nicely done that man!!...
Nice one!!...

Another very good part, and it's good to see Sethyas back on form with stealthing it up. Like a bawss.
You might want to reword that sentence, as at the moment it's rather clumsy and awkward to read. Aside from that, though, an excellent read, and I'm looking forward to seeing what's coming next (I never actually played this part of Bloodmoon).
QUOTE("Black Hand")
Just like a few years prior, when I was a Journeyman Thief and sent too Sugar-Lips Habasi at the Imperial Spymaster, Caius Cosades behest, to further my stealth skills, I wandered through the fort at dusk.

Edit
Read and re-read because, well, just because....but a little late in commenting. Between my youngest playing baseball on two teams and doing some house painting I've been a bit short on time....
It's nice to see Seth settling into his most comfortable place, it's nice to know that whatever he does, wherever he goes, some things never change. He is the most formidable enemy OR ally depending on which side of the line you should fall.
I sure hope Uncle Seth passed on more than just sword or bow training because I think Athynae may need to be able to think WAY outside the box real soon.
Good stuff BH, thanks. Can't wait for more.

Ahhhh the old Seth....as i used to know him! Sneaking into offices going through documents ahaha...great! Now I think he made the right choice....nevertheless let's just see where it takes him....
Oh yeah? You could, could you Seth? I have no doubt you were very easy to convince!
Niiiiiice to see Seth on the move again....

"This stuff certainly helps keep me warm all the way up here. I think I understand the Nords a little better now." Falco joked. "Could I interest you in a glass?"
"I could be convinced." I replied as he filled up a simple clay goblet .

Our favorite assassin is settling right in. I am certainly glad he decided to investigate then decide, I do hope that he keeps his ears up as he has always taught Thyna to do.

Good job here Sethyas! You handled the situation in a good way. Now if I were you I would not entirely trust that Apronia woman....But you can handle it...ehhh i am almost sure you can.
Very pleasant surprise to hear more from you BH....Always make me smile....

Woah, I am loving this story! Solstheim has always been one of my favorite locations in the Elder Scrolls franchise. I look forward to more on this story, you peaked my interest.
So, Falco sends our Morag Tong fellow to deal with the captain. Surprisingly no blood was shed here. Yet, anyway. I see he chose the diplomatic approach.
Look forward to more!

I really enjoyed reading some more from Sethyas. It made me break out the tea I hoard for special occasions. 
May your winter holidays bring peace and joy!

No clothes, no extra blankets, foodstuffs, no wooden spoons or blue jars, or scuttle, or saltrice, or one to twelve gold coins, or a petty soul gem, or a large quantity of iron arrows. It was bare.
I see what you did there...
It's good to see Sethyas kicking around once more, and it's nice to see the colony development on Solstheim; I never really played that part of Bloodmoon, so this is currently new and interesting territory for me, and it's a fun exploration of it all, especially since you've managed to do a really good job of capturing the frontier town feel to the place. Great stuff!

To add a little emphasis to my skill I looked cockeyed right behind them, and had left with the door slightly ajar without making sound by the time they looked back to where I had been standing.
That made I laugh!!...

Looking forward to the newnessness...ness...

I'm a relative latecomer to the story, so I had no idea of the retconning thing, therefore I will simply say that I loved the whole history thing herein...Indeed... ...
Brilliant stuff...
I love these teeny quiet little threat things where you really do think that should he want to, the whole colony would die quietly and without any one else seeing a damn thing...Brilliant character...
Fantastic stuff, sorry it took so long to get around to telling you so...
Nice one!!...

I stopped him with a raised hand. “You know now what Magius is capable of. He himself is no fool, and can read people far better than you. If I tell him, he knows who is telling him it, and he knows the consequences of trying similar tactics on me as he did with Maren.”
Falco stopped for a moment, and for the first time since our friendship, I saw a little fear enter his eyes when he looked at me. He understood what I was trying to say, without saying it.

Oooh!!...Assassin fight on the cards!!... ...
Having recently started exploring Solstheim in the Dragonborn expansion, I did find myself thinking "Isn't that where Black Hand was on about?". Doesn't look half as good as your description of the place makes it...
...
Brilliant stuff, as always...
I really hope Carnius gets his handed to him in short order...Nicely done with the boo-hiss baddie... ...

Sethyas is back!!
So there's going to be an investigation into the Falmer, then? That'll be interesting, certainly; are you incorporating Skyrim lore about the Falmer into this or is it sticking to the Morrowind line of 'we haven't seen them yet'?
Also, you seemed to have some really odd usage of capitalisation and apostrophes at points within this chapter, stuff like:
It's kind of wierd how the profession, like 'scholar' and 'miners and dock workers' are capitalised; it's a title, of sorts, but it shouldn't be. Again, it's the same case with 'eldest mortals', and to be honest I have no idea why you put capitals on that one. It just looks odd now, and it seems to happen all the time, which was kind of jarring to read. Also, 'sorcerers' and 'Dagoths' shouldn't have apostrophes, as they aren't meant to indicate possessives.

how he was a Scholar as well as a Noble back in the Sumurset Isles.

Divayth Fyr is one of the Eldest Mortals to walk the Mundus at four thousand years, and one of the most powerful Sorcerer's to have existed. My hands have slain the Dagoth's of Vvardenfell that were at least that old.

He took them in quietly, his eyes merely reflecting the glow of the fireplace. In a sense, it was like my words were a strong liquor being poured into the calm well of his soul.
I loved this line!
Now then! Brilliant Blackie! Soooo our Seth..Dralas is going into the Falmer-stuff? That is very interesting I'm so looking forward to it.
I love the "lore" parts in your story...gives it body so to say.
Now Seth..take it easy in that bar, don't drink too much

Loved the way he exercised restraint in the fight...Well, as if he'd do anything else really, but still, I loved the demonstration of it... ...
I also loved the reminder of northern Solstheim...I really enjoyed that Skyrim DLC...Wonderful place...
And then...Enter Pene!!...

And I've caught up!
It's still a fantastic story, so I'm absolutely delighted to see it's being continued, I'm just sorry I was away for so long that it's taken me a while to get up to date. One thing that is interesting - when you have such a lot to read - is that you see how styles change over a period of time. Our assassin has slowly started to change from an "all action" character, into a much more measured character. He weighs things up, anticipates and reads people. You always had an interesting lead, but now... he's a damn sight more interesting. And believeable. And sympathetic. And just coool!
More please And I must admit, I'm looking forward to the moment where assassin meets assassin again. The idea of flare spells to disrupt nighteye was inspired...

Ahhh three new installments! Sometimes life is goood! Oh my I totally agree with Burnie, Sethyas develops continously...
I laughed at his predicament in the Bath tub! Poor guy, I mean doesn't people know it's customary to KNOCK before just barging in like that..
Anyway I'm looking forward for the moment when Seth meets the other assassin..THAT will be quite something
As usual I want to compliment you for your brilliant writing!
Soooo S.G.M!!

I stopped as he opened the door, and came in. Why didn't they install a damn latch on that door?
"There's been a discovery in the mine! I need someone with your acumen in adventuring to give it a trained eye!" He said excitedly.
I coughed as I gave him an annoyed stare.
"What? Oh, the bath? Don't flatter yourself, you've got nothing I haven't seen before. I have children for Stendarr's sake!" he laughed it off.
