The Elder Scrolls: Arena Storyline

Introduction

Librarian Comment:

The story that starts it all. Taken from the Arena manual. It differs significantly from the French

version.

The Arena

Talin awoke in the darkened cell, his head pounding from the blow it had received. A singlecandle guttered and flamed in one corner. Occasionally the clink of chains could be heard as they

swung in a slight, fetid breeze. He knew where he was now. It came back to him even as he

struggled to his feet. Fighting off the nausea he made his way to a crude stone bench. I have

taken by the Emperor, but for what? His thoughts were interrupted by a low moan that came

drifting down the corridor outside his cell door. Suddenly he was glad for the obvious strength of

his cell door. I have been left to die, he thought incredulously. They did not even bother to strip

me of my possessions. Indeed, upon self examination Talin found that he still carried his dagger

and his pouch of money. It seemed that the Emperor had no fears of his escape. And why should

he? He did a quick circumspection of the room, finding that except for the slime covered walls

and floor, no water or food had been left. A slow death indeed.

Suddenly the air near the center of the cell seemed to brighten, slowly coalescing into a globe of

brilliance. Talin fell back, shielding his eyes from the glare. The light receded, and in the purple

afterimages of that burst he could see the shimmering form of a woman floating, her body draped

in gossamer and blown by an unseen wind.

"Do not fear Talin, for it is I, Ria Silmane."

Talin looked shock as the figure of his friend took on form and substance, though somehow it did

not seem to lose its edge of etherealness. "Ria! What in the name of the Lady has happened?"

Ria’s face seemed etched in grief, drawn by a sadness he could not comprehend. "Talin do youremember the last time we saw each other? It was at the Mid Year’s festival. I fear that is where

the evil took form."

"What happened to you?" Talin asked in a shocked whisper. He had known Ria since he had

summoned to court to learn under her tutelage the way of Sorcery. Ria had been the senior

apprentice to Jagar Tharn, the Imperial Battle Mage of Tamriel.

"I am dead, Talin. Only my powers keep me in this form, though the pull of afterlife is strong. I

can resist, but only for a time. It is imperative that someone know the truth; that someone stop

the evil which has struck from the heart of the Imperial Seat."

Talin sat down once more, his legs seeming to no longer obey. Left to die in a cell, my friend

already dead? What has happened to us all?

"The Emperor is not who he seemed to be, Talin. He is infact Jagar Tharn. The true Emperor was

captured by Tharn and shifted to another dimension, a prison in which time runs much slower

than on this plane of existence."

Talin looked up, his face a mask of shock and outrage, "But what of the Amulet of Kings?"

"The Emperor is not dead. Only in the event of his demise would the Amulet warn the Elder

Council. Tharn was meticulous in his planning. With time in the dimension in which the

Emperor has been imprisoned running at a fraction of what it does here, it will centuries before

the true Emperor dies. And when he does, who will care? Those people will have seen theglorious rule of Uriel Septim VII end generations in the past. Tharn must be stopped, here and

now." Ria’s face had a resolute set, one that if Talin had noticed, would have sent shivers of

foreboding through his body.

Talin looked around, "Why are you here? I am but one, and not skilled in much of anything.

Why not go to General Warhaft, or the Imperial Guard?"

Ria shook her head, "They have been captured along with the Emperor, and Tharn has

transmorphed others to take their places, those who are loyal to him only. I cannot trust anyone

else with this Talin. As you said, Tharn will not search for you as he would someone he

considered a threat. Most of them are dead already. You can see the disdain the Wizard has foryou, not even bothering to even bind you in this cell. He does not see you as threat, and in that

arrogance he has made his first mistake." For the first time the ghost of Ria Silmane smiled, and

to Talin it was as if the sun had come from behind the cloud.

"I wish to escape, that is sure. Beyond that I know not what I can do Ria."

"Take this," at Ria’s gesture a ruby key flashed into being in a niche in the northern wall of thecell, "it will unlock the cell door. You are in the sewer of the Imperial City. If you make your

way west, then south, I can effect your escape."

Talin thought at a moment, "It will not do to have me surface in the City itself, for I would bequickly captured. I think it an uncommon occurrence to see a man pull himself through a grating

on the city street. The guards at the least will have questions, ones I will be unable to

satisfactorily answer."

Ria smiled again, "I am not as helpless as you may suppose. Even in this form I am able to work

my magic, but to do so depletes the energy I use to remain on this plane. Your escape however is

paramount to all other considerations. Get to the south-west corner of this sewer. There you will



see a Shift Gate. It will transport you to another city, where you will appear inside their city

gates. Teleportation between cities is common enough, I doubt you will come under scrutiny.

With that you will be far enough from the center of the Empire to begin."

Talin felt a faint fear gnaw in the pit of his stomach and he whispered, "Begin what?"

"Your training, of course."

There was an uncomfortable silence as Talin looked at his friend. He did not entirely trust his

ability to help her; to really make a difference. The alternative however was to allow the man

who had killed his friend to continue the charade. Talin was not one to let a lie go unanswered.

Ria concerned him however. Even now he could see the fringes of her form dissipating, and her

face took on a worn and lined expression, as if she were tiring. He did not relish the idea of being

alone in this, not knowing who he could trust. "Will I see you again?"

"If you survive these sewers and escape, I will come to you again. There is much I must

investigate first so that we may find a way to free the Emperor from the dimension in whichTharn has placed him. Only by his release will the truth come to light. Remember Talin, Tharn

has taken on the form of the Emperor, and no one will gainsay his word for yours. Had I been

able I would have appeared to the Elder Council, but my body lies close by, forgotten and

decayed. In this form I cannot travel far from my mortal remains." Ria looked down, her once

wheaten tresses hanging limply as the ethereal wind diminished, "I cannot come to you again as I

have now. It takes energy I dare not squander."

She reached out and touched Talin on the forehead. He felt a slight tingling, like an itch behind

his eyes. A moment later it was gone. "I have linked us so I can appear to you regardless of the

distance, but I will only appear to you henceforth in your dreams. The way is safer and less

costly. It is very important that you rest now and again, when you are safe. It will only duringthose time I can reach you." Ria looked into Talin’s eyes, "You are entering a dangerous arena,

my friend. One in which the players are being beyond your mortal comprehension. I see in your

destiny the ability to transcend. There is a power within you as yet untapped. Look for me when

you have gained some experience in the world. You are my last and best hope, Talin."

Before Talin could respond the form of Ria faded from view. In the deepening gloom Talin

could feel the icy fingers of fear creeping slowly back into his flesh. Then the glint of ruby

caught his eye. He walked over the niche and picked up the key. It felt warm to the touch, and

strangely comforting. He thought about his friend Ria, dead now though she clung to unlife for

the sake of justice. He thought about Jagar Tharn, who had killed his friend and attempted his

own life. Such evil could not be permitted to grow, or go unchecked. Looking about the cell his

purpose become clearer, as if his ruminations had opened a door to the beginning of

understanding. Perhaps Ria had ensorcelled the key to produce this reaction, he knew not, but a

litany from his old Armsmaster came to mind and he whispered, "Given the outcome of certain

death, die with a blade in hand."

The cell door was a massive construction of iron and steel. He paused only a moment to listen.

The moaning was gone, but from the darkness he could hear dozens of tiny claws skittering and



scratching the damp mossy brownstone. Occasionally red eyes gleamed out at him. Talin

inserted the key to the lock and turned it. With a groan the mechanism released and the cell door

swung open on rusty hinges. Despite the noise nothing flew out from the darkness to attack. It

was as if the sewer itself had decided he was no threat, and turned its back on him. "Tharn," he

thought, "you will not escape me so easily." Grabbing the candle from its holder Talin drew both

breath and dagger as he ventured into the darkness hall...

"The best technique are passed on by the survivors..."

- Gaiden Shinji, BlademasterFirst Era, 947

For centuries different faction battled in petty wars and border conflicts, until in 2E 896 Tiber

Septim crushed all those who opposed him and took control, proclaiming himself as Emperor.

Still, the bitter years of war had its affect on the populace. The name Tamriel, Elvish for ‘Dawn

Beauty’, seldom fell from anguished lips and was soon forgotten. In a place where life and deathwere different sides of the same coin tossed every day, the people of the known world began

calling the land of their sorrow, the Arena…

Now, 492 years after Tiber Septim took control and kept the peace, the land of Arena has a new

threat. The Emperor, Uriel Septim VII celebrates his forty-third birthday. But jealous heartsdesire the throne and plot his downfall.

It is said that hope flies on death’s wings. Prepare then, for as the Elder Scrolls foretold, it will be

here that your adventure begins...





Fang Lair

Author:

Xan



After his escape from the Imperial dungeon in Imperial City, Ria Silmane visited the Eternal

Champion in his dream. She said:

"I see you have strengthened your arm, and your mind. It

is time we began this journey. This is the Staff of Chaos,

the one item that can open the door between this world,and the dimension to which the Emperor has been

banished. Tharn used this item to destroy my corporeal

form when I tried to warn the Council. He knew that the

Staff of Chaos was nigh indestructable, having been made

from the essence of the Land itself. But in that he found

the key. As the land is split, so did he shatter the Staff into eight perfectly formed pieces. These

he scattered across the realm. I have been able to divine the location of the first piece, a place

called Fang Lair."

"It is said that Fang Lair was originally built by the Dwarves of Kragen. Legend has it that a

Great Wyrm drove the Dwarves from their home in the Dragon's Teeth, and took the Lair for itself. I only wish I knew the exact location. Perhaps there are sages, or scholars who would

know of this place. Somewhere in its dank depths lies the first piece of the Staff of Chaos. I wish

you well. I do not think Tharn knows of your escape, but I can do little else in this form. I have

tried to obscure your identity with a spell, but I do not know how well it will hide you. Take care

for Tharn may be searching. Go forth with the blessings of the true Emperor, and myself..."

The place is located in Hammerfell province. To get this place, the Eternal Champion had to

consult with the ruler of Rihad. Which in turn asked to get a parchment which held within its

writings clues to decipher the part of the Elder Scrolls which spoke of the location of the

legendary Fang Lair. The parchment can be found in a dungeon named Stonekeep. After the

trouble with goblins and their leader, Golthog, the champion was rewarded with the location of Fang Lair by the ruler of Rihad.

"You stand before the dragon gate of Fang Lair, humbled before its majesty.

The Dwarven Hold seems abandoned long ago, its stone walls cracking with age and neglect.Somewhere within its dank depths lies the first piece of the Staff of Chaos."



After the Eternal Champion captured the first piece of the staff, Jagar Tharn's image showed up

and said: "I do not know who you are, but you have made a fatal mistake. I have sent my minions,

ones worthy of the attention you deserve, to relieve you of the burden of the Staff piece you now

hold. Give it to them and I will order your death painless and quick. Resist and I shall see you in

such suffering that you will grovel for the sweet release of death..."

Then Tharn's minions attacked, but the champion survived this first attempt to end his life.

Labyrinthian

Author:

Xan

After Fang Lair, Ria Silmane made another visit to Eternal

Champion. She said:

"It seems that you are well chosen. I see that you have

won the first piece of the Staff. That in and of itself is not a

simple task. Tharn it seems, is not as concerned with you

as I had thought he would be. Perhaps he thinks you dead

or lost in the sewers from which you escaped. That is well,

for I have discovered the second piece's location. There

was once a great maze, built by the Archmagus Shalidor

to guard what he called, Glamorill, the elven term for 'The Secret of Life'. I know not the

location of the great maze, which was called the Labyrinthian, but somewhere in its twisted

corridors lies the second piece of the Staff of Chaos. Shalidor, according to the old texts, made

his home in the Fortress of Ice. He would not have built the Labyrinthian far from his home. I would search to the north for such a place. I wish you well on your journey..."

The place is located in Skyrim province. To get the place, the Eternal Champion had to consult

with Mages Guild in Winterhold which was in feud with the knights of Fortress of Ice. The

mages wanted the champion to infiltrate the fortress to recover a magical tablet that would help

decipher a part of the Elder Scrolls. This piece completed a map to the Labyrinthian.



"Stubborn grass and roots stand in the stiff arctic clime, refusing to yield.

Ahead of you stands the entrance to the Labyrithian, testing ground of the Archmagus Shalidor.

Within its twisted paths lies the second piece of the Staff of Chaos."

Exiting the Labyrinthian, the Eternal Champion had to face Jagar Tharn's image again and the

image said:

"You have survived the Labyrinthian, a place most dire. Continue along this path however and

you will face such things as to make your very heart freeze. I will save you the ordeal for my

servants approach you even now. From your managled corpse I will take what is mine..."

His minions attacked, but still the Eternal Champion survived this attack.

Elden Grove

Author:

Xan

After acquiring the second piece, Ria Silmane made another visit:



"I would congratulate you on retrieving the second piece of

the Staff of Chaos, but dire portents have I seen. The third piece of the Staff lies somewhere in

the Elden Grove, ancient home of the Elves. The Elden Grove is said to be the birthplace of the

sacred First Tree, that which gave life to all the forests on the continent of Tamriel. Its location

has been a closely guarded secret, so guarded in fact that many believe that even the Elves have

forgotten its true location. Considering that there are only three provinces that hold any of the

Elven people, your search should not be too difficult. Find the Elden Grove and recover the third

piece of the Staff. I wish you well on your quest..."

The place is located in Valenwood province. To finally get the location of Elden Grove, the

Eternal Champion had to get a gem called the Heart of Selene. This gem is important to defeatSelene, High Priestess of Shagrath, the God of Spiders. The gem is located in her lair - Selene's

Web. The champion had to infiltrate the lair and liberate the gem. After delivered the gem, the

Elves of Eldenroot then agreed to share the location of Elden Grove.

"The small overgrown entrance to the Elden Grove stands before you, guarding secrets forgotten

for ages.

Somewhere within its misty corridors lies the third piece of the Staff of Chaos."

After acquiring the third piece, the Eternal Champion had to face Jagar Tharn's image again:

"Why do you choose to align against me when it is obvious that I will destroy you. Even as each

piece of the Staff comes into your possession it becomes easier to find you, and I have done just

that. Face my creatures, if you dare. I am through toying with you..."



As the previous encounters, the Eternal Champion defeated Jagar Tharn's minion. After some

rest, he was ready for the next.

The Halls of Colossus

Author:

Xan

After the third piece is liberated, Ria Silmane visited the champion again in his dream:

"You have done well. I had thought you lost to me. The

third piece of the Staff is yours. Rumors have been

whispered about in the Empire. I think Tharn senses that the pieces come together. You must take care to not be

discovered by him. Your death would be most unpleasant.

I have divined the location of the fourth piece of the Staff.

It lies in the Halls of Colossus, a structure built to honor a

race of Giants, though none have been seen in the land for

ages. It is said that the Halls of Colossus sat perched on a cliff overlooking the Great Divide,

which is along the southern edge of Tamriel. Perhaps the Halls are near that coastline. I only

wish I could offer you more. Fare thee well my friend, and find this place, for the sake of our

loved ones..."

The place is located in Elsweyr province. To get the place, the Eternal Champion had to consultwith Mages Guild in Corinth. Some days before, the warrior-priests of Temple of Agamanus

attacked the Guild, and stole a stone tablet. It held the key to deciphering a part of the Elder

Scrolls, the part that shows the location of the Halls of Colossus. And after the trouble with the

warrior-priests of Temple of Agamanus, the champion was able to deliver the tablet, and in turn

was given the exact location of the Halls of Colossus.

"You stand before the gigantic walls of the Halls of Colossus, built by giants in an age long past.

The wind echoes mournfully through the empty battlements.

Here lies the fourth piece of the Staff of Chaos."



As usual Jagar Tharn showed up after the Eternal Champion acquired the piece:

"It is obvious, whoever you are, that you are a cunning and worthy foe. I will not insult your

intelligence with further digression. My minions soon approach, but I will not consign you to the

dark door of Death. You have proven your worth. Once you are killed, I will raise you to fight for

me, as one servants. Give in to me now and I offer you everlasting life..."

As the previous encounters, the Eternal Champion outwitted Tharn's minions.

Crystal Tower

Author:

Xan

After the fourth piece, Ria Silmane met the champion in

his dream:

"You have recovered the fourth piece! I honor your

bravery. Listen closely now my friend, for Tharn has

begun in earnest to look for you. Do not fear, he does not

know your true identity, but he can sense the Staff's power.

With four of the eight pieces, you stand out like a lantern

at night. I urge you to caution. The fifth piece of the Staff

lies in an ancient stronghold of sorcery called the Crystal

Tower. It was said that the southern tip of the Dragon's Teeth, which stretches from the ice

covered mounts of High Rock to the wooded forests of Valenwood, could be seen on the horizon

from the top parapet of the Tower. This would lead me to believe it is not far south of themajestic mountain range. You must find the Tower and gain access to recover the fifth piece of

the Staff of Chaos..."

The place is located in Summurset Isle province. Again to get the place of the Crystal Tower, the

Eternal Champion had to consult Mages Guild of Lillandril. A few nights before, priests of the

Mad God attacked the Guild. They stole a number of the guild treasured artifacts. Among these

was a small diamond. It is said that the light from the gem will allow the viewer to see the true



location of the Crystal Tower on a specially prepared map. After the problem with the priests in

Mad God Temple, the champion delivered the gem and rewarded with the true location of the

Crystal Tower.

"The Crystal Tower dominates the area, rising like an accustory finger pointing at the sky above.

This bastion of sorcery seemingly transcends normal human conceptions, existing in many

planes other than this.

You can sense the fifth piece of the Staff of Chaos, somewhere above..."

Exiting the tower, the Eternal Champion was greeted by Jagar Tharn again:

"I have underestimated you, that is clear. You have not only defeated the useless creatures I have

sent against you, but managed to survive the Crystal Tower, a feat that in and of itself could belegend. It is sad that I am forced to destroy you. Prepare, for my minions arrive..."

Yeah, Tharn is really underestimated the Eternal Champion, he kept sending weak creatures.

Crypt of Hearts

Author:Xan

Gaining the fifth piece, Ria Silmane made a visit to her

champion:

"It has become a habit, congratulating you on your

success. Still, there are three pieces left, and what guards



them only the Divine Lady may know. I have spent many a day searching the ethereal planes for

some clue as the location of the sixth piece of the Staff. This is what I have found. The piece was

sent to a place called the Crypt of Hearts. I have no clue as to the location of such a place. The

price for the little knowledge I have was... exacting. Still, only three provinces remain that can

hold these last pieces. It can only lie in one of these. Good luck..."

The place is located in High Rock province. To get the crypt, the Eternal Champion had to met

with the priests of Brotherhood of Seth. They wanted the player to go to Mines of Khuras to get a

map, which was need to be deciphering first before the map can show the location of the Crypt

of Heart. And after the trouble in the mines, the champion was rewarded with the location of the

Crypt of Hearts.

"The chill of death seems to touch your heart as you gaze upon the stone walls of the Crypt of

Hearts.

Above the entrance stands a grinning skull, a warning to those who would traverse the halls of

the dead.

You can sense the sixth piece of the Staff of Chaos, somewhere below..."

Jagar Tharn greeted the Eternal Champion again, after the Champion takes the staff piece:

"You have rejected my offer of everlasting life, and defeated the Crypt of Hearts. Your list of

accomplishments grow. You will not however, accomplish the forging of the Staff. My forces

are inexhaustible, and you will succumb. Prepare, for my servants arrive..."

Another weak servants, and they were easily dispatched.



Murkwood

Author:

Xan

After the Crypt of Heart, in the Eternal Champion's dream, Ria Silmane said:

"Tharn is livid, scattering about the Imperial Palace like a

rabid dog. You have caused him no end of worry. I am

sure the Wizard's minions are tracking you. I will say no

more, lest I tempt Fate. You seek now the seventh piece of

the Staff of Chaos. I have found that this piece lies in a

place called Murkwood, the dark forest that ever moves.

There can only be one of two provinces left that can hold

this forest, Black Marsh or Morrowind. I would start my

search in one of these..."

The place is located in Black Marsh province. To get the exact location of Murkwood, the

Eternal Champion had to talked with the leader of Conclave of Baal. He asked the champion to

recover the stone tablet that held the key to the location of Murkwood in the Vaults of Gemin.

The champion was able to recover the artifact and rewarded with the location of Murkwood.

"The mists of Murkwood, the Black Forest, swirl about.

Inside the dark forest can be heard faint cries of despairs, souls who have lost their way within

its cunning web.

Through the smell of decay from every tree and stone, within this forest lies the seventh piece of

the Staff of Chaos."

Jagar Tharn made another attempt to stop the Eternal Champion:

"You amaze me with your tenacity. It boots nothing to avoid my snares, for this game is at an

end. The final piece of the Staff is in Dagoth-Ur, in the province of Morrowind. The information



is useless to you, for none know the entrance to the volcano, and even if you survive the

creatures I have sent against you now, you will not survive its depths. I bid you farewell. You

have been a most worthy opponent..."

As usual, the Eternal Champion survived.

Dagoth-Ur

Author:

Xan

The last piece, Ria Silmane visited her champion and said:

"I would take no chances, for Tharn has no mercy and will

attack the moment he perceives the Staff reassembled. You

must be swift. To the northeast lies the fire mountain,

Dagoth-Ur. Somewhere in its volcanic depths is the final

piece of the Staff of Chaos. The entrance to that fabled

mountain has disappeared with the Dwarves that mined it.

There may still be those who know of it, however. Find the

entrance, enter the volcanic catacombs, and return with

the final piece of the Staff. We are so close, I wish you well..."

Dagoth Ur is located in Morrowind province. Every Dark Elf knows the fiery mountain, howeverfor the Eternal Champion, he had to do an errant for the ruler of Ebonheart first before he can get

the location of the entrance of the mountain. The ruler of Ebonheart wanted the champion to

recover the Hammer of Gharen in a dungeon known as the Black Gate. After finishing the errant,

the champion was finally able to get into the dungeon of Dagoth Ur and recover the last piece.

"The sacred entrance of the Dwarven smiths into the fire mountain, Dagoth-Ur, stands before

you.

Magical runes glow in the red firelight, shimmering with heat.

Sulphurous gouts of steam escape from vents within the rock face of the opening.

The final piece of the Staff of Chaos beckons..."



Jagar Tharn made another futile attempt to stop the Eternal Champion:

"I congratulate you on your success. Have you discovered however, what I have known all

along? The Staff is drained of all magical potential. I did it myself before scattering the pieces

across the realm. It is a useless stick, good for churning butter or rowing a boat, but not for

saving the Emperor. Come find me if you dare, and I will relieve you of any further burdens you

may think to face. My legions await..."

One more place to visit: The Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Palace

Author:

Xan

And finally after the Eternal Champion received the lastpiece, Ria Silmane made her last visit:

"I had expected that with all eight pieces together, the

Staff of Chaos would activate and free the Emperor. None

of this has occurred, and I finally know why."

"Held by Tharn is a gem of the rarest qualities. Legend

has that it is a star fallen from the sky, for it glows with an

inner flame. This is the Jewel of Fire, and the crucible of

Tharn's life force. It is also the thing in which Tharn has suffused all of the energy of the Staff. If

you can touch the Staff to this Jewel, the release of that combined energy may be enough todestroy the Staff of Chaos and open the gate between worlds. If you are successful, Tharn will no

doubt be destroyed as well. There is only one way to get this Jewel."

"You must make your way into the Imperial Palace and find wherever Tharn has hidden it. Be

warned, once inside Tharn will throw the full might of the Palace Guards and those creatures

made to resemble the Imperial Guard against you. They are but puppets of Tharn's

machinations. Have mercy on them, for they know not what they serve. With Tharn however,



such care need not be taken. If you are successful a dimensional door should open, freeing the

Emperor. With the Jewel drained of energy Tharn should also perish."

"There is a problem however with this course of action. Tharn, in his fear, has made the Imperial

Palace inaccessible. If you have been there you already know the Guards are under orders to

turn all who approach back. I think that I can circumvent this with a Spell of Altering but it willmean the last of the energy holding me in this form. I will gladly sacrifice myself however, so

that Tharn can pay for his betrayal."

"The spell I cast will alter other's perceptions of your appearence. The Guards posted outside

the Imperial Palace should be fooled and allow you entry. I only hope it will be enough. You

have done more than a hero could be asked. This is the final step of a long journey. Take heart

and go forward with my blessings. I thank you, in the Emperor's name..."

And then the final battle in the Imperial Palace began. On the top levels, the Eternal Champion

faced knights in shining armors, upon reaching the bowel of the Palace; the creatures that greeted

the Eternal Champion are the liches. Finally Jagar Tharn himself showed up and fought theEternal Champion. After taking some critical hits, Tharn surrounded himself with a magical

shield. The Eternal Champion wasted no time and went directly to the place where the Jewel of

Fire was kept. He touched the combined Staff of Chaos to the Jewel of Fire. Jagar Tharn shouted,

"You must not! The Jewel holds my lifeforce!!!" But it's too late, Jagar Tharn melted.

From the Jewel of Fire sprouted some lightning bolt that grabbed the Staff of Chaos, turned it,

faster and faster in circular motion. The middle part of the circle glowed and then the entire

circle glowed brightly. From the glowed circle, two people came out. They are the Emperor Uriel

Septim VII and General Warhaft.



The Emperor said, "Thou art truly a child of the Empire. I thank thee for thy assistance." General

Warhaft followed, "It seems, that I am quite in the way. Not only have you managed to save the

Emperor, but my life as well. I cannot be but proud of one who has truly earned such renown,and my deepest respect..." Finally the Emperor said:

"I have a particular idea as to the question of your service in mind... From this day forth, thou

art named the Eternal Champion. From thy hand shall be dealt the needs of the Empire. I, Uriel

Septim, true Emperor of Tamriel do decree, and thus make law. Arise my Champion, and take

thy rightful place at my side..."
