Blood of the Divines
Liann
Speak with Martin.
Martin I’ve figured out another item needed for the ritual to open the portal to Camoran’s Paradise. The second item is the counterpart to the first: the blood of a Divine. This was a terrible puzzle to me. Unlike the Daedra Lords, the gods have no artifacts, and do not physically manifest themselves in our world. How then to obtain the blood of a god? But Jauffre solved it. The blood of Tiber Septim himself who became one of the Divines. This is a secret remembered only by the Blades, passed down from one Grandmaster to the next. Jauffre should tell it to you himself.
Martin Be sure to speak to Jauffre about the Armor of Tiber Septim. I'll continue my study of the Mysterium Xarxes.
Liann
Speak with Jauffre.
Jauffre So, Martin wants you to recover the Armor of Tiber Septim? I wish there was another way. The Armor is in the Shrine of Tiber Septim, in the catacombs beneath the ruin of Sancre Tor. A holy place, once. But Sancre Tor became evil long ago. No one has returned from the Shrine of Tiber Septim for many lifetimes.
Liann What evil lurks in Sancre Tor?
Jauffre I do not know. The catacombs of Sancre Tor were sealed by the first Grandmaster of the Blades. The four mightiest Blades of Tiber Septim’s day. Alain, Valdemar, Rielus, and Casnar, went to Sancre Tor and never returned. Here, this is the key to Sancre Tor’s outer door. I fear I am sending you to your death, but we have no other choice. You must proceed.
Liann Can you tell me about the Armor of Tiber Septim?
Jauffre An ancient relic of the first Emperor, who became the divine Talos, the patron of our Order. After the Battle of Sancre Tor, Tiber Septim gave his armor to the Blades in honor of our role in his victory. The Blades built a shrine in the catacombs of Sancre Tor, on the spot where Tiber Septim received the blessing of Akatosh. The Armor has been there ever since. Before evil came to Sancre Tor, this shrine was a place of pilgrimage for all Blades. But no one has visited the shrine and lived to tell the tale in centuries.
Jauffre Stay safe.
Liann
Travel to Sancre Tor.
Dispatch of an undead blade.
The Ghost of Rielus apears.
Ghost of Rielus At long last ... you have freed me. Now I can finally complete my lord's last request.
Liann Who are you?
Ghost of Rielus I was Rielus, loyal Blade of Emperor Tiber Septim. I do not know how long I have been dead. It feels like an eternity.
Liann What happened to you?
Ghost of Rielus My three companions and I were sent here by the Emperor Tiber Septim to discover what evil had defiled the holy catacombs of Sancre Tor. We did not know that the Underking, who was Zurin Arctus, had arisen to take his first revenge upon his former lord. The Underking defeated and ensnared us in his evil enchantment, and bound us here to guard forever the defiled Shrine of Tiber Septim.
Liann Is the Underking still here?
Ghost of Rielus No. He departed long ago. But his evil will remains, preventing any from paying homage at the Shrine of Tiber Septim. Over the uncounted years of our slavery here, we have brooded over our defeat. I believe that we can undo the Underking's evil magic.
Liann
Follow Rielus to the Tomb of the Reman Emperors.
Rielus kneels and waits.
Find another undead blade.
The Ghost of Casnar apears.
Ghost of Casnar Have you seen Alain or Valdemar? Rielus fell in the lower chamber. We were separated ... the fog blinded us ... No ... that was the dream. I am awake now. I must fulfill my oath to the Emperor before I can finally rest.
Liann
Find another undead blade.
The Ghost of Alain apears.
Ghost of Alain Stand aside in the name of Tiber Septim and the Blades! Hinder me at your peril!
Liann
Find another undead blade.
The Ghost of Valdemar apears.
Ghost of Valdemar I know you. You freed me. Free my brothers, if they are still enslaved. Together we will cleanse the Shrine of the Underking's foul magic.
Follow Valdemar to the Tomb of the Reman Emperors.
The Ghost Blades remove cleanse the Tomb.
Take the Armor of Tiber Septim.
Ghost of Valdemar We have fulfilled our last duty. We go now to Aetherius without shame. Farewell.
The ghosts walk out and disapear.
Liann
Return to Cloud Ruler Temple.
