Dramatic scene unfolds

ESO Emote List

Today’s journey to me to the city Wayrest. I was late getting into the city so I sought out an inn of some repute. The Cloudy Dregs Inn was recommended by a few of the guards so I headed there.  It was here where I met a travelling band of entertainers and we discussed the years of practice it took them to express believable emotions during their performances.
