Entry I: The Shackles of Sadrith Mora Location: Tel Aruhn / Vvardenfell My name is Eldras Fyr, a Dunmer of House Telvanni. Being born with the blood of Divayth Fyr brings an agonizing burden. To the wizard-lords of Vvardenfell, my lineage meant potential—a weapon to be groomed into the house’s next great Magister. I was kept isolated in the twisting chambers of our mushroom tower, forced into endless magical study while denied any glimpse of the world outside. My only true companion was Sprocket—a miniature Dwemer spider constructed by my parents when I was an infant to watch over me while they attended House Council affairs. Unlike my kin, I never held a taste for Telvanni arrogance or their reliance on slavery. While others debated council laws, I used hidden passages grown into the living roots of our tower to slip away to the coast with Sprocket, secretly blending destruction magic with martial forms. Entry II: Ash and Blood Location: Tel Aruhn Coast It was on one of those quiet afternoons by the shore that the sky turned to fire. A thunderous explosion echoed from our settlement. Riding a panic-stricken Guar back toward the village, Sprocket clacking frantically beside me, I returned to absolute devastation. Our tower was reduced to smoldering ash. My parents lay dead among the rubble, the council members were gone, and even the estate slaves had been slaughtered. Before I could process the nightmare, a crushing blow struck the back of my skull. Darkness took me.
