Wander-Lust and Rumarin by 千糸

Found this art by 千糸 on Pixiv, it’s pretty cool. There’s a ton of Japanese artists who have done fan art for the mod, and I always appreciate the fact it exists because a translation for the mod exists.

Wander-Lust, voiced by Lila Paws, is a character who travels Skyrim in honor of her late son. He was an adventurer who wanted to see the breadth of Tamriel, something she never understood or empathized with. It was only until after he died that she decided to embark on this journey and connect with him.

Now, there was a time when my own mom didn’t understand what I did, why I chose this as a hobby and now career.

I wrote Wander-Lust imagining a world where I had died, and she decided to open up Skyrim and play Interesting NPCs, travel to every hold, meet all the characters, and maybe understand a piece of who I was and why I loved it.

There’s only one problem. She doesn’t really speak English.

So I’m thankful to all the people who’ve translated the mod, but especially Sifka and your team of translators for putting it in Japanese. It means more to me than you’ll ever know.
