"Snow Prince" Melanie's true identity is not a secret in the gray stone castle. However, outside the castle, almost no one knew about it. Even the Pale Lady, the Pale Blade, the Great Lakes Shipwreck, and the Bloody Sacrifice were adventure events that were vaguely known to the citizens, but no one could piece them together into a huge epic ancient legend. It's just fragments of legends scattered among the people without beginning or end.
"What's the matter, Melanie?" The Lord signaled her to tell her what she had to say, and there was no need to hide it.
"Master, do you believe there are ancient snow elves in the sky?" Melanie started the topic with a question. This is the inherent caution in character.
"Of course. Just like me, the 'last dragonborn', the 'last swordsinger' Sadia Iman, and you, the 'last ancient snow elf'. The so-called 'final' is often revealed afterwards. It turned out to be just wishful thinking and misjudgment." Wu Chen thought of a possibility: "So what made you sense the existence of other ancient snow elves?"
"Master, it's a dream." Melanie explained to the lord: "There is a pale figure in the cold frost mist that keeps calling me..."
"Through what?" The lord asked about the "spiritual medium".
"Through me, Master." As he said that, a pale figure appeared next to "Snow Prince" Melanie. It was the pale lady Omriel who had become a weapon spirit.
"So, what he is calling is actually the Pale Blade." Wu Chen understood. This is the mysterious connection between the two weapon spirits. Most likely from the same set.
"Master, you probably don't know yet. Before becoming the Sacrifice Blade, the Pale Blade's real name was 'Auriel's Dagger', and 'Auriel's Bow', 'Auriel's Shield' and 'Auriel's Quiver' together are a set of artifacts belonging to the Elf Dragon God Auriel." said the pale lady.
"A self-defense dagger used by the Elf Dragon God to fight enemies in close combat." Wu Chen had already thought: "So this is the induction between artifacts."
"That's right, my lord. I'm pretty sure the call came from the Bow of Auriel." The pale lady is now the weapon spirit of the Pale Blade, and what she says should be completely credible.
"What went wrong?" The lord suddenly became alert. This is obviously another important subplot.
"'Let twilight fall and blood spill!'" The pale lady spoke an ancient prophecy in a praising voice.
"I really want to see it in some ancient book." The Lord seemed to have an impression.
Just as he was speaking, a hoarse and low voice came into the hall from outside the door: "Among the children of the night, a fear lord will appear. In the era of strife, when the dragon returns to the human world, darkness will blend with light, and day and night will become one. (Among the night's children, a dread lord will rise. In an age of strife, when dragons return to the realm of men, darkness will mingle with light and the night and day will be as one.)."
"I salute you, Lord Baron Ximu." The old man, who looked like a scholar, walked into the gray stone castle step by step, accompanied by two female companions, the Skinner Kleve and the Guardian Cassette.
"Master, let me introduce you." Guardian Cassette, the weather-beaten female leader of the vigilantes, had obviously just experienced a fierce battle: "This is the only remaining Moth Priest in Skyrim, Dixian... Dexion Evicus.”
"The Holy Moth Priest who can read "The Elder Scrolls"." Wu Chen suddenly felt that the situation was expanding out of control. And it's in a bad direction.
"As you know, my beloved master." After taking refuge with the lord, the vigilante not only owned the solid White River Overlook Rock Fortress, but also obtained the protection of the "Golden Tree Law". When moving away from the ancient stronghold, he unexpectedly gained The orc vampire Malkus ambushed a group of Holy Moth Priests escorted by the Imperial Army south of the Dragon Bridge. So Guardian Casset made a prompt decision, tracked the traces of the orc vampires, rushed to their dormant lair, annihilated the vampires in one fell swoop, rescued the Holy Moth Priest, and immediately teleported back to the Gray Rock Castle.
"So, your journey to the sky is also related to the Bow of Oriel." After listening to Guardian Cassette's brief statement, Wu Chen nodded slightly.
"Yes, Lord Baron. Everything originates from the "Elder Scrolls" and an ancient prophecy: The Tyrant of the Sun." Holy Moth Priest Dixian Evercus said to Baron Ximu of Skyrim, who is also a member of the Empire. Warlord, there is no hiding. Obviously, as a priest of the Ancestral Moth Cult, he personally felt "the majesty of the cold tower and the brilliance of the golden tree." Baron Ximu, who has his own Dragon Break and Law, is completely worthy of being entrusted to him.
So in the majestic castle hall, the holy moth priest Dixion Everkus recounted an ancient story.
In other words, the distant First Era. A bishop named Vyrthur of The Chantry of Auri-El was framed as a vampire by people in the order because he was hated by others. The deeply saddened bishop believed that the dragon god Auriel had abandoned him, so he began a long journey of revenge. He seeks revenge on the dragon god Auriel by creating a prophecy called "Tyranny of the Sun". If this prophecy comes true, it will eclipse the sun forever. This move will destroy the connection between Yathriu and Mundus in the plane of gods, and eliminate the influence of the elf dragon god Auriel on the living world of Nirn.
Also in the First Era, a wealthy Lord Harkon in Skyrim signed an agreement with the demon Molag Bal because he was afraid of death. Morag Bal personally transformed him and his family into Vampires, this is the origin of the Volkihar vampire bloodline. Since it was transformed by Morag Bal himself, this vampire clan has stronger abilities than ordinary vampires. They don't even have to worry about being burned by the sun, but their abilities will be weakened in the sun. Additionally, they can easily blend into human society without being detected.
Almost at the same time, the son of the lord of Skyrim Rift City contracted blood-sucking blood. The lord couldn't bear to kill his son, so he built a fortress in an inaccessible canyon to isolate his son from the world. In order to guard against possible accidents, the lord who loved his son specially invited a mercenary army to guard the castle. This mercenary is called the Dawn Guard.
Not long after this incident, because the mercenary army still had to kill the lord's son who had been transformed into a vampire, and the lord gradually could not afford the daily expenses of the entire fortress, he abandoned the entire castle. However, the Dawnguard remained and hunted vampires as their tradition. Just like the long and bloody history of the Argent Dawn and the werewolves. The struggle between the Dawn Guard and vampires has lasted for thousands of years. As vampires became increasingly rare in Skyrim, the result was that people gradually lost their wariness against vampires, and the Dawn Guard lost the support of the nine lords and eventually had to disband.
Hakon didn't know where he heard the prophecy of "The Tyrant of the Sun". Assuming that the sun can be ended, then the only shortcoming of the Waukehar vampires, their fear of sunlight, will be successfully eliminated. So the vampire lord's ambitions began to expand. And secretly collected the items needed for the ritual: three copies of the Elder Scrolls, the Bow of Auriel, a Holy Moth Priest, and the blood used in the ritual.
Two of the Elder Scrolls were in his daughter's possession and his ex-wife's, and her daughter's blood was needed for the ritual. Hakon's ex-wife Valerica had long been aware of his ambition and secretly ran away to the Soul Cairn. Before leaving, she "arranged" for her daughter Serana to hide in the Underworld. In the sarcophagus of Dimhollow Crypt. After Hakon learned about it, he sent out an army of vampires to find him.
So almost overnight, vampire activity in the sky suddenly became more frequent. The vigilantes of the Standal Night's Watch, dedicated to destroying demons and all "abominations", were the first to bear the brunt. In increasingly brutal raids, their Vigilance Hall headquarters in Morningstar City was destroyed by vampires. This led to the previous move of Guardian Casset leading the Vigilantes to retreat to Gallows Rock Fortress and seek refuge with the Silver Hand.
"So, what is the connection between the Tyrant of the Sun and the Bow of Oriel." The Lord asked the key point.
"The prophecy of 'The Tyrant of the Sun' is fulfilled by corrupting Auriel's bow and using it to shoot an arrow soaked in the blood of the Daughter of Coldharbour into the sun." Dixion Everkus, Holy Moth Priest The mystery is revealed: "'The Blood of Coldharbour's Daughter will blind the eye of the Dragon.'"
"So that's it." Wu Chen finally connected all the clues.
Of course, this is also the main line of "The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim: Dawnguard DLC".
