In the last month or so, I'd gotten back into The Elder Scrolls Online after finding out that it was working well enough on the Steam Deck to warrant a purchase when it was on sale.  During that time, I was playing in Vvardenfell, part of the Morrowind DLC, but then I accidentally started a quest that turned into what was originally the starting quest in Cold Harbor.  Following the journey through Cold Harbor, I found my character deposited in Bleakrock Isle since I had chosen to be part of the Ebonheart Pact, a location I had not revisited since I first explored this area nigh on 10 years ago when I created my first character.  

"Northpoint Nocturn" is one of the songs that plays in Bleakrock Isle. Being in that location, among snow-covered hills, with this music playing brought back heaps of nostalgia and good feelings all around as snow fell outside of the Bleakrock Trading Hall.  There was just something about this serene music with the mountains, the snow, and the forested hills and it being cold outside here in the real world makes me yearn for just over a month from now when I'll be in the snow-covered high desert of central Oregon and with any luck, sitting on a comfy couch drinking something hot and playing ESO while occasionally looking out at a snowy expanse of fir and juniper.

Just pure bliss.
