Oh, boy, oh man. What a lovely Sauteralia evening it's been so far. On the eve of the most wonderful holiday here in Tamriel.

I'm sitting here once again this year in Proud Spire Manor, my home, finally settling down next to my fire.

And a nice stout drink in hand and before my my wife Aurora retired to bed upstairs. We were talking about all the kinds of wonderful things that have come to Elder Girls online this year.

and, you know, she said to me, it's, it's, um, it's funny how, how you can be thankful on a day where you're still nursing a somewhat severe

injury and you know I kind of laughed a little bit and for those of you who don't know.

I recently broke my hand while fighting some droger in a tomb when diving into in a tomb

when diving into in order to get a relic out of and made it out alive thankfully and

unfortunately you know, pallet in healing magic doesn't heal everything.

And this, it's funny, the hand itself is, it's going to be, it's going to be a while before it mends up but I told her I said you know sweetheart

That doesn't really matter

here on on saauteralia, Eve, I'm here with you in our beautiful home.

And we're able to sort of reflect on the year ahead and spend time with each other. And that means me spending

time with you, our listeners as well and I'd like to thank everyone who who

sort of asks like your your your your episode last year the the Sat-Turalia greeting card you gave us was very nice.

Would you be doing another one for this year? And I jumped at the chance. I hadn't thought of it actually and since it was born on an idea of we haven't

you know done an episode in a long time I think everyone would be pleasantly surprised for this. And I was pleasantly

surprised in turn that everyone wanted me to do another one. So I think we might have ourselves a little bit of an E-S-O-T-R tradition and

I've got the roaring fire here and comfortable as can be with a stout drink in my hand and a lot of

thankfulness in my heart and when it comes to Elder Girls Online, this year has given us a lot to be thankful for.

Everyone has homestead in our minds when it comes to Elder Scrolls online right now, and that's going to be great.

It really is going to be a great way to start off 2017.

Just being able to...
