This is the travel journal of Merandin Biencel, a young man who escapes execution and embarks on a quest to redeem himself in the eyes of his God, a quest that takes him across the vast land of Skyrim. This is the second draft of "A Vigilant's Journal", my attempt at forging a role-play narrative out of a playthrough of TES V: Skyrim. This time around, I've capitalized all the nouns to give the text an archaic tone, as well as edited spelling and grammar along with other minor alterations.
