It occurred to me after writing my previous journal entry that the best way to improve my skills in fighting daedra might be to go into Oblivion and simply fight them. Of course I dismissed this idea as foolhardy - I would be putting myself in the way of a harm I am not prepared to deal with.
When a Frost Titan attacked me on the road near Bruma, I barely escaped alive. I had read about these beasts. The northern people fear them above most else. Only thanks to the arrows of an Imperial Ranger did I survive. It would seem that Nirn is just as perilous as Oblivion, and when I found a mass of bodies on the road near a flaming gate I was overwhelmed with the urge to close it and make these roads threatened by only what the people have learned to deal with.
