"So, as each other's best friends, who is more worthy, Velandis Crowwatch or Sarran's Radha?" Wu Chen asked again.

"If we only consider each other, I would rather be friends with Radha of Salan." The dragon-slaying demon sword Irelles shrugged.

"Obviously, as a friend of Velandis Crowwatch, I'm really frustrated." Brighton Nightblade Alice also smiled.

"Master?" Ashtaret, the dragon knight, seemed to have another focus: "Where does the Gray Heaven come from?"

"According to the book, the Ash Paradise is a lost realm located in Annihilation. It is located deep in the void and cannot be touched by the demons of Annihilation and the residents of Mundas. It is made of broken stones and Chaotic Creatia

), the sky turns green due to void energy.

There are almost no living inhabitants in the realm. The plants are very similar to those of Reach. The animals are mainly fireflies and lizards. The lizards are the prey of some undead bone eagles. The Ashhaven is corrupted by the Void, the Shadow, and is related to Namira and the Void.

Haunted by dark spirits.”

"A lost realm in the plane of Annihilation that neither the Demon God of Annihilation nor the residents of Mundus can touch." Spirit Dragon Knight Ashtaret thought thoughtfully.

Wu Chen immediately realized that Ashtaret's past was also closely related to the Heart of Darkness: "Ash, what did you think of?"

"Master, I always feel that the reason why I returned to Nirn from 4,000 years of void drifting is probably because someone recently 'touched' the heart of darkness." Ashtaret, the knight of the spirit dragon, said something astonishing (heaven)

Hey, could this be said to be foreshadowing?).

"Huh?" Wu Chen was immediately touched by these words. By the way, wasn't the reason why all the Dwemer dwarves disappeared was because they struck the heart of Lorkhan?

Wu Chen thought of a possibility: "Could it be that someone found and touched the Heart of Darkness before us? It released the remaining energy in the Heart of Darkness, so I sent you back to Nairobi after drifting in the void for 4,000 years.

kindness?"

"It's possible." Dawn Warhammer Xili gently adjusted her glasses after sorting out her books.

Wu Chen had previously considered that after the trial run of the New Sword Wind airship was completed, two Lord Ximu expedition teams led by Storm Blade Anji and Dawn Warhammer Xili could be dispatched at the same time. By then, multiple routes would be conducted in parallel to retrieve the Jagged Crown.

, the Snow Prince's remains, and the adventure of the lost Snow Prince's helmet will begin quickly. Because this trip is of great importance, it is still led by the lord and the housekeeper. In the future, similar adventures will be led by the librarian Dawn Warhammer·

Xili leads the team. In order to accumulate experience for future adventures, Dawn Warhammer Xili also goes with the Lord.

"Where is the final location of the Heart of Darkness?" the Lord asked hurriedly.

"The Heart of Darkness has always been hidden deep in the Library of Akzand." Dawn Warhammer Xili confirmed it correctly: "Only the void orb forged by the dwarves can safely place it."

It is said that in 1E 221, the Dwemer dwarves discovered a considerable source of divine light crystals, mainly located in Radbatar. Four Dwemer city-states led by Akansamz formed an alliance to oversee the mining, processing and

Research. In order to smelt the divine light crystal under precisely controlled conditions, the Dwemer built a divine light crystal forge deep under Batalft in the Rift Valley, using lava to create powerful divine weapons.

Later, the Dwemer Alliance discovered the Heart of Darkness and built various instruments to study and control its power. The Dwemer dwarves also built the Akzand Library to share knowledge, and secretly created a library composed of the Dark Heart.

The heart-driven void celestial instrument uses the crystal energy, kinetic energy and rhythmic power emitted by the divine light crystal to draw the void.

The subsequent development was in line with the old saying "There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests." The increasingly serious internal disputes surrounding the Divine Light Crystal and the Crystal Forge eventually led to the collapse of the Dwemer City-State Alliance, and the four cities and their

Rivals fiercely competed for control of the forge. This conflict, which lasted for decades, was known as the "War of the Light Crystal." After the war, the Skyrim dwarf city-state alliance collapsed, which also led to the Akzand Library

abandoned.

This was the civil war between the Dwemer city-states that the dragon knight Ashtaret personally experienced. It was also the culprit that caused her to escape into the void for 4,000 years.

The Dwemer ruins where Akzande Library is located are Nchande-Zel, which is now the city of Markarth, the capital of Reach. Nchande-Zel means "splendid city" in the Dwemer language, and today

, which refers to the Understone Keep and the excavation site of the ruins deeper under the city. The throne in the Understone Keep was called the "Throne of Sorrow" by the Dwemer back then.

"Master, what does the Gray Heaven have to do with Reach?" Spirit Dragon Knight Ashtaret asked again. The 4,000-year gap caused her to miss many historical events.

"It is rumored that the Gray Paradise is the Reach territory that Manimak, the king of worms, tore from near Markas City some time before the planes merged." This is also the answer Wu Chen got from ancient books.

The book says that around 2E 578 before the Soul Explosion, the founder of the Black Worm Order, the Worm King Manimak, arrived in Markas City to seek asylum. During this period, he and the Worm Order were allowed to stay in the Nchande-Zel ruins

At some point before 2E 582, the Lord of the Worms acquired a sizable territory in the mountains near Markarth, accessible via the Great Lift in Unchande-Zel. Manimarc was

The first attempt was made to hold a plane fusion ceremony here, trying to merge this land with Coldharbour. However, the ceremony failed, and the land was separated from Tamriel, but instead of going to Coldharbour, it was lost in the void.

It was this land that later became the Gray Haven. The failure of the merger resulted in it being somewhat similar in landform and environment to Cold Harbor, so it was also called Gray Harbor.

Afterwards, Manimak left Markarth and returned to the imperial capital of Cyrodiil. He used the experience learned from this failure to initiate a true plane fusion, successfully separating part of Tamriel and passing through the Planar Vortex.

Fusing it with Cold Harbor eventually triggered the far-reaching Soul Explosion incident.

It is said that his first attempted planar fusion experiment in Markarth City not only shattered the area, destroying the terrain as it was pulled from Tamriel into Coldharbour, but also the minions of Molag Bal were being pulled in.

Here. So Markarth City permanently closed the elevator entrance and no one was allowed to visit here.

Although the merging of the planes ended around 2E 582, this land of Reach neither returned to Tamriel nor was it different from the lands in Tamriel that were torn apart by dark anchors pulling them into Cold Harbor.

Instead, it becomes a land without a owner, floating in the endless void.

Soon after, Radha of the Gray King Saran adopted this empty void as the final piece of his centuries-long attempt to save the Gray Army: the Gray Heaven.

Previously, Radha and the Gray Army made an agreement with the Demon Lord Morag Bal of Coldharbour, promising to exchange their souls for power. Based on the stone shell experiments of Lord Velandis Crowwatch and Privy Councilor Dinharris, Radha can

Restoring the lives of many former comrades, freeing their souls from the eternal damnation of Coldharbour and rebuilding their bodies by retrieving their ashy remains and harvesting their souls from mortal bodies. However, this restoration was only temporary, and they

His soul still belongs to Morag Bal, and will enter Cold Harbor after his death.

In order to get rid of the enslavement of the demon god Morag Bal forever, Radha formulated a grand plan, using the Dwemer Void Orb in the Akzand Library and the ancient vampire magic of the Night Hollow clan to guide the void and establish the Monda

Si's connection with the Gray Heaven. Lada plans to use the Void Celestial Instrument to go to the Gray Heaven, summon a dark storm to absorb the souls of all Reach people, feed it to the Heart of Darkness, and make the Gray Heaven a domain that protects the Gray Army. Because of the darkness

With the power of the Heart and their connection to Mundus, members of the Gray Army will gain immortality similar to that of the Daedra.

Radha and some companions successfully arrived in the Gray Heaven. He began to launch the Dark Storm, but met his old friend Velandis. Radha hoped that Velandis would join him and let him see what he had obtained from Morag Bal.

Salvation is completely feasible, but Velandis does not agree with sacrificing many mortals just to save the vampire family. He and his companions (the soulless ones) entered the Ash Paradise and defeated Radha, trapping his soul here forever. Then

Velandis merged with the Heart of Darkness to calm the dark storm. Then he used the powerful power of the Heart of Darkness to return all the souls of the Reach people previously absorbed to their respective bodies, saving everyone. In the end, Markarth experienced the disaster

Finally regained its vitality.

It can be seen from this that the Library of Akzande, the Heaven of Ashes, the Heart of Darkness, and the Dark Storm are all located in Enchande-Zel, which is now the stone fortress in Markarth City.
