📋 About This Mod
Aia Arria is a snotty and arrogant Imperial who lives in the Bards College of Solitude. If you ask her why she's as such, she'll tell you of her achievements, one being that she has memorized all the song books in Skyrim. You can challenge her on that claim, this will initiate a custom menu where you have to write parts of the poem (it's randomly selected) from memory. If you succeed, you're rewarded a Speech skill increase.
There are 6 poem books in total, and you can take the test 3 times for each book, for the second and third rounds you must have your Speech at 50 and 75 respectively and the test gets progressively harder.
You have to find the poem books yourself.
List of song books:
-
[]The Betrayed
[
]Death Blow of Abernanit[]Song of the Alchemists
[]Pirate King of the Abecean
[]The Third Door
[]Song of the Askelde Men
