I just wrote this little ditty. Performed to the tune of "I've Been Everywhere" by Lucky Starr (covered by Johnny Cash, et al.)

You won't believe how hard it was to find rhyming Tamrielic place names! :ahhh: :banghead:

Well, I was lugging my plunder down the worn Colovian road,

When along came a Dunmer with his wagon and its trading load.
“If you’re going further south, sera, then with me you can ride.”
So I climbed up on the wagon and I settled down inside.
He asked me if I’d seen a road with so much broken stone, I said
“Listen, friend, I’ve travelled every road in this here land.”

Chorus:
I’ve been everywhere, man,
I’ve been everywhere, man.
Been across Elsweyr bare, man;
I’ve breathed the Skyrim air, man.
Of travel I’ve had my share, man.
I’ve been everywhere.

I've been to
Windhelm, Evergloam, Alik'r, Alinor
Avanchnzel, Nchuand-Zel, Anvil, Bravil
Dawnstar, Dragonstar, Balfiera, Balmora
Evermore, Kynesgrove, Sotha Sil, Anga's Mill

Frostmoth, Firemoth, Firewatch, Ionith
Shor's Stone, Solitude, say hello and don't be rude!

Chorus

I’ve been to

Arenthia, Apocrypha, Mania, Dementia
Passwall, Daggerfall, Cheydinhal, Lillandril
Helgen, Riften, Karthwasten, Leyawiin
Markarth, Falkreath, Orcrest, Wayrest
Pale Pass, Phrygias, Sunhold, Riverhold
Firsthold, Winterhold, by Akatosh, it's bloody cold!

Chorus

I’ve been to

Senchal, Sentinel, Sheogorad, Skingrad
Northmoor, Sancre Tor, Gavaudon, Gideon
Hunding Bay, Niben Bay, Hackdirt, Cloudrest
Weatherleah, Inner Sea, Seyda Neen, Shimmerene
Battlespire, Tel Fyr, Mournhold, Stormhold

Ald'ruhn, Tel Aruhn, Vivec City, what a pity...

Chorus

I’ve been to

Ald Sotha, Tel Branora, Sutch, Kvatch and Harlun's Watch
Aleswell, Bal Fell, Greenheart, Ebonheart
Sercen, Vahtacen, Ashlands, Grazelands
Hsaarik Head, Rorikstead, Gloomreach, Blackreach
Moonshadow, Dunbarrow, Chorrol, Morthal
Northpoint, Southpoint, is there really any point?

Chorus
I’ve been around Tamriel, man... I’ve been everywhere.
