Whoever created this one managed to embed a translucent eagle in the rose-colored glass! They must be aehterial fragments of some kind. You're just being contrary. "The line of Frestrien bore stern features that appeared wrought from pale marble...." He was a vampire! It certainly isn't Yokudan. People tend not to associate music with Orcs, but we have a deep cultural investment in percussion instruments. Something artificial no doubt. —Ugron gro-Thumog, There are a series of holes spanning the entire circumference of the waist, presumably for fastening. ESO is a fantastic MMO because of the wide variety of items people trade every day. —Gabrielle Benele, Yes, this seems quite old. These rivets might be evidence of cross-cultural collaboration, right? This book may have played a role in secret Psijic correspondence. I may have stared at this for a bit too long. As for the crystal itself, I've never seen the like. Centuries of neglect have left this one inert, but you're not likely to find a denser agglomeration of Padomaic matter. It doesn't explain the larger pools, though. The invaders conquered huge parts of both realms before Reman stopped them at the Pale Pass. The Atmorans weren't all that clever, but they were certainly thorough. There's old magic clinging to this statue. —Gabrielle Benele, A sinister motif rendered in such a lovely medium! Satakal is not a sinister deity. —Amalien, These shafts connect to a frame. Could be references to the Thrassian Plague? That means it could date back to the Merethic Era! We took tusks as part of our Ranser's War spoils, too. —Gabrielle Benele, The stewardship of these assorted baronies and counties was at the pleasure of the king. Available with all pre-purchases of the Chapter, though digital purchases will grant access to the mount immediately. What's this? It's possible that the Imperials finished construction on the Chapel of Zenithar by then. Dwarves probably forged jewelry like this from several different strands braided together. This map seems more utilitarian than strictly decorative. Maybe Torinaan's calan-sigil. As for the egg, it's metaphorical. It practically reads like poetry! I don't recognize this ivory, though. It looks more like heraldry than religion iconography to me. —Ugron gro-Thumog, Tested the metal where the enamel paint was flaking. —Gabrielle Benele. A lesser-known prophesy foretold that the lost children of Aldmeris would "make of their branches a new home on distant shores." It's entirely possible that Frandar was the first to adopt this design. Bit more conservative than I'd expect, though. Item Description: The strange stone on this pedestal appears to catch light as easily as it catches the eye, but how it does this remains a mystery. The inscribed image depicts a hunting scene, of course. Perhaps this is hard evidence that Argonian children start off as Hist saplings? Some anemones have similar reproductive behaviors. Still a beautiful piece, though! A magic plume, or do they simply will the glyphs into being? It clearly comes from Oblivion. Yes, the Khajiit fought bloody wars here, but they also traded with other peoples and prospered in peaceful times. —Amalien, Snowy sabre cats would have been abundant in the areas Snow Elves nobles inhabitated, especially at the time. I wonder if this contained a bribe for nobles who helped Merchant-Lord Etien Lenac claim the throne of Wayrest in 1E 1270. This probably rested near a statue of the Chief Divine himself. Makes me wonder if some of his unlikely feats and misfortunes are based on true events. The branches bit never made sense. You don't often see Chimer-modified tools like this, but my best guess is that some opportunistic herder repurposed the rod's shaft as a simple nix-prod. The Atmorans wore them to show that they sought a glorious end in battle! —Ugron gro-Thumog, I'm intrigued by the religious overtones in this depiction of Rislav smiting his brother Dorald. Name: Riven King's Throne Category: Gallery > Thrones Quality: Epic But joined with other pieces--braided together into a neck-ring, perhaps--this strand would vastly boost the strength of the whole. —Ugron gro-Thumog, The leather binding on this book is odd. To carve or shape this stone might have ruined its natural resonance. At least not a jurisreeve as we currently understand the term. —Gabrielle Benele, Hmm. I suspect they were not this skin's original crafters. The skalds say that Ysgramor and his companions were the first to wear the blue war-paint so many Nords still favor today. You don't often find such realistic depictions of Dunmer religious figures. Not very practical for a weapon of war. —Gabrielle Benele. What about bolts or screws? Sadly, the candles in this majestic sconce are neither, but the impression this installation creates is long lasting. —Verita Numida. It probably fell from the purse of a Redguard warrior as an Orcish warrior struck them down. Ah! Torture, exhibitionism, the sharp-edged aesthetic, and so on. Difficult to say with certainty where this throne came from, but I think we can safely assume Wood Elves created it. I think it could be harvested without killing the creature, but I imagine it would painful. —Gabrielle Benele. This could belong to one of them. —Ugron gro-Thumog, This has all the hallmarks of Molag Bal. An important discovery! The Nord god, Stuhn, still has totemic roots. This torc was created to harness tonal architecture--the Dwarven craft of using sound to shape reality itself. The spiked shaft here is meant to penetrate heavy scale and not let go, but only if loosed at great velocity. I know that disappoints you, but I do know my engraving history. These gold motifs seem consistent with Ra Gada heraldry, but the purple interior matches the hue of Ruptga prayer beads. This is an object of rare beauty! —Gabrielle Benele, What have we here? Most Argonian stone-carvings appear blockier. Another entirely. So, a depiction of Sithis consuming some origin? —Amalien, These marks don 't necessarily imply settlement locations. But it can't be that. Elves make a point of including an Elven likenesses in their shrines to reinforce their familial connections to the Divines. They probably mined it in much the same way we mine iron and stone, right? This land I know well. Or maybe it really contains dust from the Ashpit? —Ugron gro-Thumog. I can almost hear it whispering to me. These are no common runes--an ancient enchantment clings to the oar. Item Description: Framed gorgeously, the moons dominate this mirror, making it more for gazing at than into. I think we can safely infer that such facial ornamentation conveyed a sense of skill, wisdom, or authority. The sculptor may have spent some time in the Imperial City. —Verita Numida. Category Gallery. A valuable property for such a long-lived race. It must have contained something truly marvelous. It's hard to miss Lake Honrich and the Treva River. —Verita Numida, It depends on the clan. Or even stand as a call to rebellion? For once in your life, can you just appreciate the majesty of what our friend uncovered? Each tell quite a different story about the land and it's people! —Ugron gro-Thumog. Best part: it won't sink you to the bottom of the sea. They adorned practically everything with stylized faces that presumably match their own. —Gabrielle Benele. A personal escort makes sense. The Hunding name is inscribed, but this device is far younger than that bloodline. It felt like something was sucking at the wound as I pulled away! —Verita Numida, I still detect some residual magic swimming between the shards. How fun would it be to glide along freshly melted tracks of snow? The pressure is unimaginable! Given that it came from Wrothgar, it might be some totem or figure from the first Orcs? This is a treat! These seventeen arrangments correspond to the seventeen distinct furstocks of the Khajiit. They're slaves. —Amalien, Amalien gives the Dwarves too much credit. A fitting end for such a terrible people. A High Rock artist likely designed this as a commemoration of the first sack of Orsinium. —Reginus Buca, Hmmm ... you're right. —Ugron gro-Thumog, Sapping tools from the Seamount Clan's conquest of Betnikh, formerly Betony. You might consider Orc and Argonian religious practice before swinging the word "norm" around. I sense something peculiar here. Only thing that puzzles me is the shade and the grain. Everything there is so pristine. Her pose suggests she's in a lover's embrace. What is this other figure here? No, this horn is blown to signal the end of the hunt. The warrior left a collection of blunted training swords in his home adeptiorium as a reminder to the hadaliit he left behind. This is an Orcish map. —Gabrielle Benele, How odd. Summerset Isle. —Amalien, A traditional Dematah gaming set, eh? These carvings appear to venerate Aur-El. They were much more isolated then. —Verita Numida. —Gabrielle Benele, Meddle? This band ... it almost feels diagnostic in design. I wonder what that means ... —Amalien, I think some heavy restoration went into this book. —Ugron gro-Thumog, It was a calian--one of the precious spheres we High Elves receive as youths. And what is this ironwork? Every Breton knows those motifs! Yric Flowdys had these gold coins specially minted to commemorate the completion of Northpoint's construction in c.1E 900. According to Psijic tomes, Ritemasters like Iachesis used these unassuming objects to write theorums and spells, then store them in a harmless demi-plane for later use. And a note, as well? Dwemer society was too intransigent to absorb traditions from other cultures, but even the most pious Chimer probably wanted a break from stone and chitin-carving at some point. —Amalien, Or perhaps someone chose to note that location on this map since it is culturally significant, Amalien. Mauloch's jawbone, this tool is ancient. - Added option to uniquely color 4 stacks to give a better indication of a pending bow proc (thanks jestertoo for the idea) —Amalien. —Gabrielle Benele, Yeah, looks like aetherquartz to me. I never thought an iron sphere could look so beautiful. —Reginus Buca, The lack of stars on the relic itself doesn't necessarily mean it didn't feature stars in another way. They deified the hawk, wolf, snake, moth, owl, whale, bear, fox, and the dragon. Unless ... a Dragon itself suffered the sacrifice? The figure lacks the cowl and wings often seen in Meridia's depictions. The lack of star motifs seems odd, too.—Verita Numida, Is tethering military pomp to religious expression really that odd? —Gabrielle Benele, Given where this was found, I wonder if we should consider the possibility of this being from the Lightless Oubliette. A truly unique find. Just there, near the spine and along the edges. And we High Elves live a long time! So, black and bronze? Particularly around Torinaan's ruin. This one belonged to a successful raiding captain, I think. —Ugron gro-Thumog, Apparently the nautiluses surrounding the island of Agonio are particularly large. Item Description: These gloves pulse and writhe with the grotesque power of the Sload. One member of a qurom is called the admanen, or "listening eye." —Amalien. —Amalien, Hmm. Just trust me on this: nothing good ever comes from snake worship. The fact that it survived in such a war-torn region speaks to its quality, I think. Helstrom crocodiles died out during the Second Empire's march on Black Marsh and the subsequent environmental disaster called the "Great Burn" in 1E 2828. —Reginus Buca, There are quite a few comedic works featuring a blustery, madcap brawler named Korm No-Toes. Naturally, skill in the hunt was a vital test of fitness to lead. Someone melted an object down and reshaped it into this. We'll likely never know what she really looked like. Hard to believe it's real. A command word, perhaps? Difficult to say with certainty since its shores change so often, but I'm fairly confident this map depicts southern Black Marsh. I exposed the doll to a vial of Hist sap and the leaves grew iridescent. This metal is quite flexible, too. Kneel before this idol and pray for a fraction of his might! —Verita Numida, Location: Alik'r, Bankorai, Deshaan, Stonefalls, Craglorn. I wonder if any Giant burial grounds are marked on this map? Don't dolls usually look like the children they're intended for? If scholars such as us balked every time a curse was mentioned, we'd never accomplish anything! —Reginus Buca, By "Tamrielic norms," I assume you mean worship of the Eight Divines? —Verita Numida, Pretty remarkable that it's lasted this long! —Amalien. All rights reserved. But that makes no sense so perhaps my ritual was faulty. The owner may have raided Stonefalls during Nedic the campaign against the Chimer in this area. They were first Ansei, of course, and before undergoing initiation they were required to give up their most treasured weapons. And you certainly weren't exaggerating when you spoke about the shores and terrain shifting. —Reginus Buca, Perhaps it's due to their stature, but historically Nords do possess a predilection for enormity, whether it be for mugs, cheese wheels, mounts, daggers, or anything really. Look at the size of it. Though I will concede the area that this was found supports the theory. Crabs and that sort of thing. —Amalien, What a beautiful stone-carving! Best not to assume, where Argonians are involved, but it stands to reason they'd use this for Hist sap rituals. —Ugron gro-Thumog, Yes, brutal indeed. —Verita Numida, Yes, this clearly depicts the region just after the Thrassian Flu. —Amalien, Ah. Extraordinary! Might this imply some discontent about Imperial governance? Something corrupted its Aetherial resonance. Tough to say. —Amalien, Despite the object's age, the miniscule aspects of this music box seem to be in perfect working order. —Ugron gro-Thumog, It's said the spirits of Ouze were restless ... maybe that means they haunted the surrounding area? —Verita Numida, Yes, the Mournhold aesthetic is difficult to miss. A tusk arrangement like this usually marks an entrance of a chief or forge-wife' longhouse. He's not often idolized.

Some ancient scavenger, perhaps. According to oral histories, the Orc clans and Goblin tribes maintained a truce within the Dragontail Mountains, but did not mingle. I was under the impression they could weave their magic with singing alone. —Amalien. Check out ESO-Hub Now! This wide scoop would offer limited protection from anything other than arrows deflected upward after striking the carapace. Apocrypha. What interests me is the craftsmanship. Clavicus Vile's unmistakable image often appears on early currency intended as an offering to the Daedra. Are these the shoes of the girl raised by the Eldest? The rocky terrain around Kvatch is better suited for goats than cattle. —Reginus Buca, Swords are some of the most commonly found weapons from this period of Nord history, but it's unclear if that is due to their popularity or a large surplus that never saw battle in favor of some other instruments of death. —Amalien, Such a grotesque visage. Whoever wielded it must have commanded a great deal of respect. Name Effect; Aegis Caller: 2 items: Adds 129 Weapon Damage 3 items: Adds 129 Stamina Recovery 4 items: Adds 129 Weapon Damage 5 items: When you deal critical melee damage, summon a Lesser Aegis for 11 seconds. An annotated draft of the political map of the kingdom of Rivenspire once belonging to the royal cartographer of Shornhelm. This bears all the telltale signs. This seat didn't come from Elden Root. —Ugron gro-Thumog, Don't wolves feel a bit too obvious to you? Some people insist that lesser Daedra are incapable of creative expression and appreciation for art, but I can definitely imagine a Dremora Kynreeve staring at this for hours. See how there's no reference to Almsivi? Was it the work of a child? Someone well-attuned to the Green could probably coax some Y'ffrine miracle out of it, but that's well outside our capabilities! I think Guildmaster Vanus has one like this in his private study, but I doubt he has any clear idea of what it actually depicts. Most of the free-standing anvils in Old Orsinium melted into slag or still gather dust in Redguard treasure vaults. Delve bosses have a chance to drop a waist or feet set piece from the zone they are located in. We rarely find a Dwarven pillar, forge, or animunculus that lacks a bearded face. I hope you won't try to regale me with tales of his fanciful "clockwork kingdom." Each boss also has a small chance to drop a unique set piece. Maybe this was an instrument of torture? Frog-Metal! Rivenspire's suffered more than its fair share of despots, but the Spenards put the others to shame. —Amalien, I've read that dense corals provided the entire foundation of Thras. Ayleid, by the looks of it. Perhaps we should put it back .... —Gabrielle Benele, Nonsense! But you're right--clans in Stormhaven tended to take a more offensive posture againt non-Orc neighbors and each other. It looks like this one is holding something in its claws. [?] —Amalien, This belonged to a fighter, not a priest. —Ugron gro-Thumog, Not just any sacrifices. What a welcome surprise! —Amalien. —Reginus Buca, But why a Dragon skull? The Seventeen and One Monarchs of the Ysgramor Dynasty: III: Totem-King Heimverlund. Given the context, these words hew closer to "return", "deflate", and "dry out". I've always loved Khajiiti needlework. Well, this is quite a discovery! Item Description: The lands of Anequina and its majestic aqueduct are the subject of this skillfully illustrated map. Uniquely vicious, they branded items or people captured from battle. Are you sure? I think the only reason there's any left at all was because they were more interested in wiping out the Elves themselves. It comes with a step-by-step leveling guide, proven class builds, dungeon walkthroughs, crafting and gold making strategies and more. I've already chosen a side. The Wild Hunt is said to strip the flesh from bone in the blink of an eye ... this might be a reminder. You might be missing something, though. —Amalien, At first glance, I thought this was an oversized coin. It must have been some kind of resin to preserve the pages ... and it seems to have done the job! Seems a little abstract, honestly. While I agree with Amalien on it being part of a rack, I think it's more likely it came from the Vile Laboratory. The ash-leaves are also emblems of Shor's hall that lies in a distant grove of Sovngarde, guarded by god-touched heroes; the bearer of this shield meant to find death in battle and join their ranks. It must have been inspiring for the warriors reading it. This one is noteworthy for the exceptional decorative carving of the shaft and the colorful streamers affixed just behind the barbed head. Wouldn't that be amazing to see? We're so stuffy! Travel in Elsweyr leans heavily upon word of mouth--mostly to keep Baandari caravaners employed. —Ugron gro-Thumog. —Ugron gro-Thumog, Here's a pretty thing. —Amalien, Based on the region, the posture of supplication to Vile, and the obvious lack of any clothing, I believe the figure to be Kothringi. —Verita Numida. I've tried to turn myself into a horse more than once and never met with much success. A piece of an even more elaborate puzzle? Used for self-flagellation no doubt. —Gabrielle Benele, And you're certain this urn contains the ritual oil used to annoint the Brutal Bands? “In the Merethic Era, when Ysgramor first set foot on Tamriel, his people brought with them a faith that worshipped animal gods. —Gabrielle Benele, These metal strips all curve inward from edges that clearly must attach to another component. Like the Dwemer? —Verita Numida, Looks like a little Diagna to me. He appears to be howling, or snarling behind a matted wreath of leaves. You're right to point out that serpents often appear in Nedic ruins, but I've never seen one in their jewelry. I surmise these dolls were used to imprint a connection between Argonian hatchlings and the Hist. Dwemer Body Marking Body Marking N/A Intermediate Dwarven Spider Boss in The Scraps [?] You typically only see this kind of stone in Elsweyr. Judging by the figure's attire, it could be a tiny depiction of King Thagore. —Ugron gro-Thumog, I was skeptical, but I decided to test Amalien's theory and sure enough the wheel fit over the end of a broken steam pipe. Supposedly Ysgramor slew so many frost giants that he was covered in their blue blood. —Gabrielle Benele, And Giant territory, too! We hadn't learned the value of unity yet. February 25, 2021 Leave a comment Leave a comment The Akaviri recognized Reman I as the Dragonborn and swore allegiance to him. Odd, considering Dwarves prided themselves on precision. Icy stone would have been murder on the bum, but I suppose any cushioning would have disintegrated over the ages.—Amalien, It really makes one wonder how these children of the Aldmer managed the cold. I'm surprised the contents are still legible. I could see a Mer crafting this elegant item simply because they like snakes! —Reginus Buca, Orcs of the First Era knew orichalc better than Argonians know mud. —Amalien, Over the years, many artists have imagined Snow Elf attire as being made of fashionable furs from head to toe. —Amalien, Judging by the minor scrapes I see, these metal plates overlay each other, forming what might be a neck? What creature in Summerset has three eyes? Clearly, Khajiiti glass workers made this for a converted temple. The augur shakes them up in a bag, then pours them out on the ground, looking for alignments and connections. In any case, I'd date this back to 1E 1900's. I would say a quadruped. —Amalien, I'd be curious to see a map of this area from the First Era, if such a thing could ever be found. —Amalien, Amalien's suspicions are correct. —Reginus Buca, Attacks like these were used to justify the sacking of Orsinium, despite the fact that Goblins did not occupy the city. Only a few hundred were stamped and most remain in private collections. —Reginus Buca, Imposing features are common in armor design. The benefit to mobility would hardly outweigh the sacrifice in protection. I'd always assumed the appellation "Rislav the Righteous" was ascribed to him by historians, but this panel dates to the time of his rule. —Ugron gro-Thumog, This wooden figure appears to be an Orc, but its features are greatly exaggerated to appear menacing. It's not as if they had a flourishing trade relationship with the peoples of Tamriel. —Reginus Buca, I've never seen one of these! A display piece of some kind. You see? No. Item Description: While one wouldn't want to use this map for navigation, given its age, it makes for excellent wall art. Those rings represent vengeance, nothing more. As you know, the Alessian Order placed tight restrictions on graven images of Alessia. I reminds me of traditional High Elf requiems. It seems like a mark of protection made with graht-oak, but it looks sinister in nature, as though whatever it was protecting the wearer from was a great evil. It's spear-like in shape, but massive in size. According to the stronghold tales, the entire Barzanakh clan ate out of a single bowl. A bust of Saint Nerevar. The stitching on the sides suggests these were made for clothes. It will all make a lot more sense after about an hour of playing around with it. Each single braids comes from a highly honored Khajiit warrior or clan-mother; when the Mane put on this crown, he figuratively donned the strength and wisdom of an entire people. That's truly something. All that remains of the great Ayleid settlements is broken marble and subterranean dangers. —Gabrielle Benele, At first blush, there was nothing exceptional about this plain, leather belt, but its appearance is deceiving. I doubt the real Aldmeris looked anything like this. A fully intact stained glass window? —Amalien, Amalien, these rumors of flying whales are patently absurd. The mighty Ysgramor himself was said to have used a stone such as this in his voyages! Jarl Harald of Windhelm, 13th in the line of Ysgramor, has declared war against the last bastion of Snow Elves still living on the surface of Skyrim. It almost seems like something conceived in Oblivion itself! I doubt he uses it to motivate by fear. Common practice at the time, but very difficult for Pilazjo himself. —Gabrielle Benele. —Gabrielle Benele, This is incredible! It almost looks as though someone just penned it moments ago! They considered the numbers 3, 5, and 8 to be sacred. No, these figures are warrior-monks, not priests. Talyn82. Always assumed that was metaphorical. Perhaps a horse? The wondrous twinkling of this moonpool would lead you to believe it. Most likely this was a noble's treasure carried away into exile. —Reginus Buca, I don's see any references to the original thirteen strongholds. Its description was identical to the current one, except with one added sentence: "Whether they actually originate from Lyg is still up for debate among scholars." I don't know why. Item Description: Become the caretaker of this knight's sarcophagus and remains — but take your duties to heart lest you end up haunted! I've seen etchings like this in Wood Elf wildpatches and sapling-chapels. —Verita Numida, Possibly. It makes sense for the Aldmer to have tried, but we need more proof than a beautiful glass feather. This is a testing device--a puzzle. I think. —Reginus Buca, Legends speak of Aldmeri music that could ease the mind and ward off grief entirely. People bound to this idea of death and rebirth always wind up as wild-eyed cultists. Self-consumption remains unconfirmed. —Ugron gro-Thumog, I've seen the paintings you're referring to Ugron.
