here is still a location we haven ’t checked but I had an idea what it was.

After looting the place and resting for a minute, I moved the boys and got out the way we came in.
We will take the corridor that Jull hasn ’t checked.

Sure enough after walking for a while, we reached an empty room under the wooden bridge we passed on a while ago.
It was the living quarters of the necromancers living in this cave.

There were more stuff to loot here, I scanned the place carefully and found some money, hidden chests, as well as some valuable weapons and research paper.

From what I could tell, these people were cultists of ’Molag Bal ’.
One of the most fearsome and hateful Daedric Princes (Dardra God) whose sphere is the domination and enslavement of mortals.
He is known as the God of Schemes, the King of ****, the Harvester of Souls, the Lord of Brutality, and the Prince of Rage.
His main desire is to harvest the souls of mortals and to bring them within his sway by spreading seeds of strife and discord in the mortal realms.
One legend claims that Molag Bal created the first vampire when he raped a virgin named Lamae Beolfag, who in turn slaughtered a group of nomads who tried to help her.

I just get the urge to puke when I sea a someone that worship this piece of shit.

I, myself, am not a good guy but I have my limits.
I don ’t mind making pacts with Daedra as long as it doesn ’t affect my soul or essence like becoming something inhuman or stuff like that.
Of course becoming an immortal is cool but I would love to do that with my own power.

During the looting, one guy found an unusual gem.
He came to me running after he did.

”Oh! A Stone of Barenziah.
Give me that, I ’ll give an extra silver for finding it. ”

The boy gave it and I gave him a silver septim as a reward, the other two looked at him enviously.

”Is it of any value? ” Ongeim asked.

”Don ’t you recognize the Name Barenziah? The Dunmer Queen of Mournhold? One of Tiber Septim lovers? One of the most badass women in this world? Sigh! ”

He and the rest shook their heads to every question.

”it ’s one of twenty four stones that belonged to the beautiful crown of Queen Barenziah.
The crown was lost in Skyrim after the disappearance of the queen during the War of Accesstion and its gems started to appear in different locations.
Collectors like myself fancy those stones. ”

”You sure know a lot about a random gem in a cave! ” Mjoll said mockingly.

”You don ’t understand! Queen Barenziah of Mournhold is one of my favorite historical figures along side our well known Queen Potema of Solitude. ”

All the people present shivered when they heard the name of ’Potema ’.
Any Nord knows this famous, or rather, infamous Wolf Queen.

Queen Barenziah and Wolf Queen Potema are the most fearsome Queens in the history of Morrowind, Skyrim, and the Empire.
They are the most badass queens.
Even Cersie Lannister would look like a cute kitten beside them.

Queen Barenziah started her life in exile after she was taken from her father ’s home who was the Lord of Mournhold.
Her exile was in Skyrim but she escaped and became a thief in Riften.
Years later she was found by a Dunmer General that worked under Tiber Septim himself and later became the general ’s wife and Tiber ’s mistress in secret.
This was some story to read.
She lived a long life full of events and political struggle after that until her disappearances two hundred years ago.

Queen Potema of Solitude is a cut of the same.
She is well known to all Nords.
Known as Potema Septim of the Imperial Family.
She was wed in Skyrim to the High King but she practiced Necromancy and Thievery.
She also started a civil war in the Empire to get the Imperial Ruby Throne for her son who eventually died in the fight.
Her rage was not simple as she unleashed all her necromantic power and released an army of undead on Solitude.
She was later cornered and sealed under Solitude.
My theory is, she became a lich and waiting to be unsealed.

The reason why these guy shivered was the public knowledge of Potema ’s fearsomeness.
Still, that story will be left for another time.

I stored the gem in my pocket and smiled as I have an idea about the locations of the rest of the gems, and this gem confirmed that they are most likely in these places.

”Now hurry up, don ’t laze around! ”

We moved back again to the passage blocked with iron bars and started looking for a mechanism to unblock the passage.
I can do it by force but it will take time.

A minute later, Jull found a chain and when she pulled it down, the bars moved and the passage was unblocked.

We moved again in formation but I heard Jull ’s screaming.
I didn ’t think and ran to her location.

Jull was hit by a magical trap.
These traps were shooting ’Frostbite ’ spell on her.

I cast ’Grip ’ and dragged Jull from harm ’s way.
Her arm turned blue from the spell damage.

”I didn ’t know what were these! I approached them and they shot magic at me.
Also someone saw me and went running the other way. ”

This is not good! I started healing her as it was easy to cure the frost effect by just healing.

These traps were nasty still magic traps are actually very simple.
You only needed to cast the ’Rune ’ of the normal spell then install a Soul Gem on it.
This will work as a sentry turret.

To disarm them one can use just shoot anything at the Gems powering the Runes.
I can just take them by ’Grip ’ spell.
There were three of them and I took the three Soul Gems as loot.

The mage that spotted Jull has clearly went far and warned the rest ahead.
This is now an all out fight.

”Okay be ready for some resistance! Jull stay at the back! ”

The scouting now will be done by me.
This was a good training for Jull but I can ’t afford to tire her this much.

I moved ahead of the group and the cave turned left and right until it reached a big space.
There were indeed many mages here.
They were also trying to check the passage.

”SHOW YOURSELF INTRUDERS! ”

One was shouting like crazy.
As if I will ever do that anyway.

The number of the necromancers here is five and they seemed like the bosses of the cave.
They also had few undead minions that were being put into formation around the passage.

I moved back and met with the group to lay down the plan.
This is the last clash now.

”The plan is like this. ” I said then cast a spell three times and three Frost Atronachs appeared, ”These big guys will clash with the undead after I cast a sun spell on them.
Your rule is to rain the mages with arrows and I ’ll join you with magic.
Ongeim and Mjoll, you guys will protect the flanks from the undead. ”

The last spell I cast was ’Paladin ’s Aura ’ on both of them and myself.
This spell is a Cloaking spell that will cover us with the Sun element and Healing effect.
It will do harm to undead and heal us.
One of my masterpieces.
