We are secretive creatures, and we are inherently drawn to keep the truth and seek the truth. And what better truths to find than the ones hiding deep down in those Dragon Balls? Dragon Ball is truly an impressive beast. It’s been around for three decades, and there’s still so much to discover about it....

Whiterun may be one of the more focused on cities in Skyrim, but that doesn’t mean that everything about it makes sense....
