The Story of DaggerfallWho is Underking
At some point in the game, you get attacked by a zombie right in the middle of a street.
After you defeat the poor thing, there's a notice right on its decaying flesh.
The notice invites you to visit King of Worms in his underground place,
and possibly do a service.
When you arrive to Scourg Barrow, King of Worms asks you to retrieve a soul of a certain
undead wizard for him.
Well done Qwerty. I am sure the
prince will be most cooperative. Please
accept this (magic item) as
a token of my appreciation. In addition,
I have decided that it is time for someone
outside of Tiber Septim's line to know the
truth about the Underking. As you know,
Tiber Septim was the first emperor of Tamriel.
Toward the end of his wars of conquest, he
betrayed his Battlemage, Zurin Arctus. When
Zurin died, his soul refused to leave his
body. Something to do with the mysterious
Numidium. Since that time Zurin Arctus has
lived on as the Underking.
The Underking and his agents have been
a thorn in my side for centuries. Just
remember, should the Underking regain his
mortal body, he would surely throw all
of Tamriel into conflict.
