  35. The Morrowind Circumnavigation Challenge, for those of you who want to try yourself:
    You have to go all the way around Vvardenfell. You start when you leave the census office for the first time, and end when you enter again.
    You have to go all the way around, but the direction does not matter. You can go North or South, that's your choice.
