I am writing to let you know I arrived in Falkreath safely.

At the border, I was met by a dryht, or comitatus led by the Jarl's own Housecarl and there-from escorted to the town.

Upon my official presentation to the Jarl, I immediately received confirmation of the rumours that brought so much excitement to us all.

There, on a raised dais at the end of the hall, were two thrones on which Jarl Folcwine and his wife S'fara sat. But in addition were two smaller chairs upon which their children sat.

The eldest - the son is 12 years old, but is tall and muscular, giving the impression of a youth of two or three years older. I am told that he is called Beorn M'iaq Strong-Arm, with his first name being traditionally given to the the first born son of the family. M'iaq is a common Khajiit name (Cf: last census of Elsweyr). He has his fathers bright blue eyes, and blond hair the shade of rich gold-brown ripe wheat. I have yet to to discover what his “moon-form” is, so am unable to say how much his impressive physique is due to his Nord heritage. His fur assumes the pale colouration, density and pattern of mountain sabre cats (an adaptation to the climate of Skyrim?).

The daughter looks much more human, and if indeed these hybrids are subject to the moons, I would venture her to be an Ohmes-Raht, but with the curious fact that she is digigrade, whereas all available research shows that Ohmes-Raht are plantigrade.

Save for her more human appearance, she in many respects resembles her mother. Her fur (though it be shorter and finer in some parts) is the same shade of sandy brown. Her eyes are a vivid sapphire blue, leading to her name of Atahbah Steorra.

I will continue to update you with my findings as I can, and look forward to writing the eighth edition to Notes on Racial Phylogeny and Biology with you when I return to the Imperial city

I remain your humble servant, and dedicated friend,

Commission for, this time a family portrait of his Skyrim OC's Folcwine and S'fara with their two children Atahbah (left) and Beorn (right).This one was fun, especially once I started to add some details - I tried some new techniques and I think they worked out for the better. One example is the shine on the hair; such a simple addition really seems to help the image.My favourite though is definitely the pattern on S'fara's dress which was done by hand. It took a little while, but I still found it enjoyable - possibly because I think it worked out well!Don't you love it when experiments work out? >v
