The Story of DaggerfallCastle Llugwych
After you retrieve the painting from Castle Wayrest, you receive another action
quest from a rather unlikely party - Underking. They want your aid against their eternal
(pun intended) enemy - the Necromancers. As your employer explains, the Necromancers
have stolen a magic item (the item varies) from Underking's gang, cursed it and gave it to
the Blades. According to the guy,
|
...the Blades were once the honor
guard for Tiber Septim. Today they are loyal
to the empire and Tiber's code, but not
always to the current emperor. The Underking
has reason to not wish harm upon the Blades.
|
Interfaction relationships aside, you should infiltrate Castle Llugwych in
Ykalon, and take that item, whatever it is, back.
| | Underking's ingame portrait? |
While you will surely converse with Underking's agents,
don't hope to see the Undead Guy himself -
as far as I know, Underking is not featured anywhere in the game in person.
However! In the Daggerfall
directory, there's an image of some dead-looking person, and many knowledgeable people
insist that it was originally intended to be Underking's face. No insider input on this
issue has been obtained so far, if you know what I mean.
In might be worth noting that the agents of the Necromancers that attack you throughout this quest
always mention King of Worms and that he's not happy. Not that there ever was any doubt
about the identity of the lead Necromancer...
Like I said earlier, it's an action quest for the most part. When you retrieve the quest item
and bring it where it belongs, the outcome it surely disappointing - the
guy un-curses the item
and gives it... back to you. And tells you the following:
|
Not even death can hide a true descendant
of Tiber Septim from the Underking. King
Lysandus did not die in the battle of
Cryngaine. He was slain by treachery before
it. The monument to him in Hammerfell is an
empty tomb. His remains were secretly
taken to an ancient tomb in Menevia, which
I will now reveal to you. I do not know
who betrayed Lysandus, nor why his spirit
haunts the city of Daggerfall and not the
battlefield of Cryngaine. I have kept my
part of the bargain, and you have earned
the gratitude of the Underking.
|
What the hell was the "true descendant" bit about? No idea.
Are they impying that Lysandus was the true descendant of Tiber Septim and Underking
got a chance to question him postmortem?
On the positive side, now we know where's Lysandus' true tomb is located. Now gotta do something with
that knowledge.
