I'm posting this mainly
for future use; but the meaning of this is to describe the various
artifacts from Aldmeric lore that the player can poke through dungeons
and quest for. Don't anyone spend too much time on this yet, just if
the though hits you, go for it. This shouldn't be a priorty of any kind
until much later.
I'll start off with a random suggestion for one;
Kaznor (Flame-born) One of the artifacts King Silus raided from the
Sacred Keep after the shattering, The blade is a shard from a giant
crystal that was expelled from a volcanic eruption on an island off
Aldmeris' shore many ages ago. Though the eruption itself was of no
great consequence, and caused no damage, the crystal flew through the
air as if a great force thrust it from the volcano, and fell upon a
fleeing criminal, killing him instantly and shattering. The captain of
the guards chasing him took one of the larger shards to a friend of his
who was a master armorer, who cut the gem and set it into a hilt. The
sword was presented to the king during a celebration of the harvest.
boring facts:
Sword, 1 hand, fire and shock damage

it wasn't a sperical crystal... more like a diamond shape. I said the
criminal thing to symbolize the weapon as a deliverer of justice

I like it, maybe somehow the leader of the Vesmerkaz could get his
hands, that would be the perfect weapon for the Volcanic beings.

Or they could wield meteoric weaponry. A dark stone with blue segments
a hints of red that is amazingly light weight and poisins the ody when
it draws blood I say silver set.

Since they live in both volcanic and meteoric enviroments, they should wield both weapons.

all the inhabitants of Aldmeris would use meteoric weapons. The
Vesmerkaz should use lots of volcanic substances; obsidian blades,
Igneous armor made by diverting bits of lava flows into molds... which
gave me an idea for another artifact
Boulder's Hide - a suit of igneous armor made during the last eruption
of Mt. (placeholder name) Sforzand in Tamriel year 2E39, the lava from
this eruption contained an incredibly high quantity of platinum, making
it suitable for the most powerful enchantments. This was made for a
Vesmerkaz hero who uncovered a plot to assassinate diplomats from
several other kingdoms of Aldmeris, and killing the conspirators,
effectively preventing a bloody war.

Alseriur's Teeth
Alseriur was the general leading the assault on the Drethmer during the
War for Vostrever; he was decapitated by the Drethmer general Ulaan. It
has been a trophy of the family ever since. Ulaan's son had Alseriur's
teeth removed and made into a necklace. This necklace is worn by the
eldest male of every generation of the Ulaan clan. It is said to grant
some of Alseriur's strength of will and mind.
Necklace: fortify Willpower and Strength
Possible quest; the chief of the Ulaans was captured by the Cresmer,
rescue him, and in gratitude gives the player the necklace, but only
for the duration of the war.

thread
