Embergoblins are evil creatures found on the island of Solseheim. It is said to have started appearing on the island after the eruption of Red Mountain. This catastrophic event also shrouded the southern region of Solseheim in ashes, killed countless creatures, completely destroyed the Hirstaang Forest, and gave birth to the burning dryads known as the vengeful spirits.
Although different types of "ash-formers" have been found on the islands, the common denominator is that their bodies are composed of hardened, burning volcanic ash. According to Orela Telvanni, Master Nelos accidentally discovered that the "ash product" was produced from the ashes of corpses buried near the heartstone veins. It is said that the Heart Stone contains a trace amount of the power of Lorkhan's Heart. Neros deduced from this that it was because the Heart Stone had been buried near Lork Khan's Heart for thousands of years, and the residual energy of Lork Khan's Heart seeped into the Heart Stone. This major discovery convinced Master Neros that there was a huge secret hidden in the Heart Stone. As long as the "Secret of the Heart Stone" is cracked, it is possible to release the huge energy from Lork Khan's heart. You must know that since the reincarnated soul cast by Azura and the elf hero Nerevarine completely separated the dwarves' tools on Lorkhan's heart, the heart quickly shrank and disappeared. There are even unsubstantiated rumors that the Heart of Lorkhan was completely shattered by Nerevarine. This also means that the Heart Stone left on Solseheim Island with the eruption of Red Mountain is likely to be the last remnant of the divine power of the Heart of Lorkhan.
"So, I guess it was some experiments by Master Nelos that led to the large number of ash monsters." The Lord has already thought of it.
"Yes, sir." As a member of the Telvanni family, Orela Telvanni is more familiar with Master Neros's past: "Maybe it has something to do with one of his apprentices who came back from the dead."
"I guess it's Ildali Saloshiri." The Lord's memory has always been very good.
"It's her, my lord." Orela Telvanni shrugged: "So in a sense, the 'mind-changing trick' was successful."
"Master, I am very curious. Why are the people of Tamriel so keen on mind-changing?" This is something Shulia, the Judgment Angel from the Colorful Palace, cannot understand: "The Reach people's Heart of Thorns, the Iron Orcs' Heart of Nien , and now there is the Dark Elf's 'Heart Stone Exchange'."
"In addition to the mind-changing technique that can significantly enhance an individual's abilities, from a religious perspective, this is actually the worship of Lockhane, who had his heart ripped out." The Lord gave his own answer.
"So that's it..." Judgment Angel Shulia nodded slightly.
As Baron Ximu, who possesses the exclusive Dragon Breaking Law, it is a necessary etiquette for Master Nelos to personally board the ship to visit.
Fortunately, the air in the Lord's cabin is much fresher. As a reward for treating the distinguished guests as they do in the countryside, the lord specially ordered someone to cook Canis Root Tea (Canis Root Tea), which is Master Nelos' hobby.
"Ah, I feel the scent of stream wood. So it was planted in your castle garden?" Master Nelos is indeed an expert in tea tasting.
"It's the terrace of the castle. Marina and Faranu have been taking good care of them." The lord, who learned everything from Aurella Tewani in advance, was not surprised.
"The two Giuseying ladies who are in charge of the kitchen for you." Master Nelos seemed to be familiar with everything about the lord. Of course, it is an indisputable fact that the Lord's reputation spreads far and wide.
"Yes, that's them." When talking about his female companions, the lord would always smile inadvertently.
"Unfortunately, not all Nords are as kind to the 'Grey Men' as you are." Master Neros, like many dark elves who migrated to Solseheim Island, is deeply wary of the Nords in Skyrim. . Indeed, as Master Neros said, those dark elves who migrated from Morrowind to Winterhold, Windhelm, and Rift City have not yet been able to fully integrate into Nord society. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as gray areas and gray people. Of course, on the other hand, the upright Nords cannot stand the "twisting" of the dark elves.
As the environment of Morrowind recovered after the Cataclysm, more and more Skyrim Grays considered returning to Morrowind to settle. Of course, many of them are just verbal expressions without actual actions. Looking at the volcanic ash wind that is now filling the island of Solseheim, and the small town of Crow Rock that was almost buried by the volcanic ash, one can imagine how much better the province of Morrowind, the starting point of all the catastrophes, would be. What's more, these gray people who fled to Skyrim during the Red Year and the dark elves left behind in Morrowind had a huge conflict of faith. The Gray People generally believe in the three living gods of the Tribunal. In today's Morrowind, the three living gods of the Tribunal who stole the power of Lorkhan's Heart are judged to be false gods, and the three demon gods of the old Tribunal have been regained as mainstream beliefs. All "heretics" who do not believe in the Three Demons will suffer brutal persecution. This also scares away the gray people in the sky.
In addition, I have long been accustomed to the cold air from the sky, the warm stove, the scalding mead and barbecue. The dark elves who have experienced the catastrophe and the memories of suffering they suffered on the long migration road make the dark elves who are content with the status quo not to leave easily no matter what.
This is why the dark elves in Skyrim prefer to call themselves Nord (dark) elves. Just like the wood elves who left Valen Forest also like to call themselves forest elves.
"I would like to know more about the black book you found in the Dwemer ruins." After a brief exchange of greetings, the lord got to the point.
""Dark Magic Book: Letters and Letters"." When asked by the lord, Master Neros said bluntly: "One of the 'Seven Books of Darkness' written by Hermoeus Mora, the Demon God of Knowledge."
According to the research of Master Nelos, there are a total of seven "Dark Magic Books" handed down from generation to generation: "Dark Magic Book: Untold Legends (Untold Legends)", "Dark Magic Book: Epistolary Acumen", "Dark Magic Book" Magic Scripture·Waking Dreams", "Dark Magic Scripture·The Sallow Regent", "Dark Magic Scripture·The Winds of Change", "Dark Magic Scripture·Filament" "Filament and Filigree", "The Hidden Twilight".
"What is its specific function?" The Lord Lord was very curious.
"Sir, I'll tell you the truth. The 'Seven Books of Darkness' are the domain of the Demon God of Knowledge, Hermoeus Mora. I have an unconfirmed guess that the soul of Milak, the first dragonborn, is hidden in the Seven Books. But I don't know which one it is specifically." Master Nelos possesses the rigor of a scholar.
"So, we need to find the 'Seven Books of Darkness' in order to determine the traces of the first generation dragonborn Mirak." The lord felt that it was quite tricky (it's okay, sir, doesn't Tal Rasha also have seven ancient tombs).
"No, sir. Just finding one of them is enough." The Dark Elf Archmage, who was born in the three major families of Morrowind, reminded wisely.
"The Seven Books are an interconnected realm." Wu Chen suddenly realized: "It's like a coherent front and back."
"As you can see, my lord." Master Neros seemed a little distracted. Obviously that's not his focus.
Before Master Nellos boarded the ship, the Lord had already learned more details about the Heart Stone from Orella Telvanni and the crisis facing the Mushroom Castle in Telmi.
It is said that Master Nelos's last apprentice, Ildali Sarohiri, is still alive and "single-minded" in seeking revenge for Master Neros's failed heart-changing experiment on her. Had it not been for the adventuring party sent by the lord to arrive in time and lend a helping hand, Master Neros's housekeeper would have died long ago, and his tower would have been poisoned and withered. Therefore, in Orella Telvani's view, Master Neros's only reliance is the help of the last Lord Duvacin to thwart the revenge plan of Heartstone apprentice Ildali Saloshiri.
"Tell me about your heart stone experiment." The Lord immediately changed the subject. Decided to resolve the crisis facing Master Nelos first.
"Okay, okay, sir." This is exactly the purpose of Master Nelos's trip: "It all started with my uncontrollable desire for knowledge..."
Putting down the tea cup gently, Master Neros recounted the past: "Escaped from the ashes of Morrowind, my apprentices and I established Thelmishlin (Mushroom Castle) on Sotheheim Island. And in The secret of the Heartstone was discovered in the ashes of the volcano. My apprentice and I's autopsy of the Burnt Spriggan convinced me that the Heartstone could be implanted into a person's chest, giving them great power. Just like the Reachers 's Heart of Thorns. Just when I was considering replacing my own heart with the Heart Stone, Ildali volunteered to complete the surgery in my place. Now I know I did it all wrong."
"Ildali died tragically during the heart transplant surgery. After I buried her in infinite grief, she resurrected from the grave. In the coffin, only her calming staff and a heart implanted by me during the surgery were left. Heartstone, later waves of ash demons began to attack Telmixi."
"So, where did Ildali go?" the Lord asked.
"Frost Moth Castle." Master Nelos sighed.
