Chapter 181: Nightcaller Temple (1/2)
”Jonhild, I would have wished to meet in some better circumstances I am your cousin Brenda, and this isyou two, Evan, Brenda!”
I was greeted by a couple of Moonblade man and a Firemane woman I have a blood relative here too it seems
”Are you sure that dark elf is essential to save Alina and your friends You held us froh” Evan asked me
”I know but believe me, there is no other way” I spoke with a heavy heart
We were standing in front of Nightcaller Te for the arrival of the forurd was having it hard but healone also waiting, he entrusted h calls
Many questioned that decision but were et out of hand when soainstreasons to hold everyone back I also didn't reveal anything for the sake of keeping things in order
Why is that?
Simple, Vaermina is nasty to deal with even for a Daedric Prince Even a scourge like Molag Bal, the Daedric Prince ofand Torture, soarding vamire, the realm of Vaermina that was described as the htmares and fears manifest into the h it is a place of great horror, yet it is the most frequent place that mortals visit in Oblivion The first reason is that Vaerhtmares to torture them as she sees fit However, the second reason is orries mire and the Mortal World Mundus are really close and the places where Vaermina's artifacts exist in Mundus are places where the effects of Quaghtmares problehtcaller Tee town, following them was a Dunmer man in the yellow monk's robe, this was brother Erandur
From the looks of it, he didn't seeuess it won't be hard to convince him to ith us
”Brother Erandur, we are sorry to bring you here on such a short notice My na around and seeood lord I have left that kind of life behind, I have cut ties with Vaero Please, spar…”
”We are not intending to interfere with your past The matter is that we know about the Miasate the matter on their own but they never came out for four days”
”Mara's mercy! I- I don't knohat to say”
”Please, save your condolences I am very well aware of what's in there…” I approached hi about the Skull”
Erandur's eyes were about to ju
”I also know about what happened back in the day when you fled to save your own hide I a you because no one would want to kill theratulations, but… this place is dangerous”
I forced myself to calm the mer down and explained the situation
”I understand, it is indeed true that the 'Skull of Corruption' is what activated the 'Mias that people call Tower of the Dawn, but it was deserted for quite a long tihtcaller Temple was established inside When the temple was active the priests would rarely be seen in Dawnstar They preferred to live a solitary existence The te we need to do is to establish a Shrine of Mara inside the tower's entry hall…”
”I have already taken care of this part, the shrine is here and we can install it once we startLord… I- I think I shouldn't ask more as you already know this much aboutbut good thing that he read thehi becaurd and I were the ones who are absolutely going in, Evan Moonblade tried to coe of the Moonblades out of the blue It alurd was enough to silence everyone
After that, we entered the toith not a single word The three of us were quiet and in a heavy ht Erandur was that because he is a priest of Mara and a for but he is the only one who can challenge her authority in this place
”Years ago, this tee they were being plagued by nightmares just like the people of Dawnstar” Erandur started talking about the place
”And?”
” the orcs were not successful as the priests knew they could never defeat the orcs, so the priests released what they call 'The Mias everyone to sleep It was created by the priests for their rituals It's a gas that places the affected in a deep sleep Because the rituals would last for ned to slon the aging process…”
Erandur started talking about the Miasma and the priesthood of Vaeroing down as our destination was the deepest part of the te every room we pass on for traces of Alina and the rest
As we reached halfway through, we came across a path blocked by a barrier
”damn it The priests must have activated this barrier when the Miasma was released” Erandur said as he looked depressed
The one as urd
”What does that o past it?”
He raised a good point
Erandur thought for a while and spoke
”I think they were invited inside”
