The Odmi Collection: Arrival at Winterhold

Description

This is a page recovered from the ruins of Castle Bruma. Thought to be the last resting place of Odmi the Wanderer, only son of Talsgar the Wanderer. It was in Bruma that Odmi settled after his many years exploring Tamriel and penned his famous compendium on the DovahFahliil. 

Most copies of the books were hand written and utilized either hand drawn or woodblock prints. This page is about his arrival at Winterhold around 4E252 via a Black Dragon trade ship coming from Morrowind. The drawing is one of the only existing depictions of Winterhold after it's reconstruction and one of the few surviving pages of Odim's travel journal.

Unfortunately most of Odim's works were destroyed in the Third Daedric Invasion when the Boethian Army decimated Bruma. Luckily the journal had been kept in a display case so many pages survived.

Really nice, but why would Boethiah invade Tamriel? I known Boethiah is evil, but invasion wasn't really his thing. Boethiah worked throug agents such as warlords and assassin. Manipulating others to invade and murder would be more his thing. Also, how did it come to pass that the Daedra invaded Tamriel again? Don't get me wrong, it seems like a very interesting idea.
