Chapter 297 1.296 The Last Dwemer Dwarf in Skyrim

"Master, don't panic, this is your steam guard." The housekeeper hurriedly stopped in front of Wu Chen to prevent accidental injury.

The rare and huge mechanical puppet dragon landed lightly.Wu Chen seemed to feel a trace of imperceptible void energy.

"Ashtaret salutes you, my lord." The female knight on the back of the dragon saluted gracefully.

"You are Dumo?" Wu Chen's eyes lit up and his heart was startled by the female knight on the dragon's back.

"The last Dwemer magic puppet master in Skyrim." The housekeeper introduced Wu Chen with a smile: "She calls herself Deep Elf."

Ashtaret, born in the city-state of Arkngthamz in the early First Era, of the respected Clan Namtara.Since childhood, he has enjoyed the carefree and beautiful life of the Dwemer nobles.However, all the good things were reduced to ashes after the black drop discovered the precious Aetherium crystal, which eventually triggered a war.

Atherim is an extremely rare luminescent blue crystal found deep underground.This crystal has a strong magic field, but it is completely ineffective in alchemy, and cannot be enchanted, smelted, molded, bound, or broken.Atherim was first discovered by the Dwemer of the First Age in the deepest mines and successfully found a way to use it.It is said that the Dwemer dwarves can set Atherim crystals in gold and metal to create Atherim artifacts.It can also be embedded in other materials to make crowns, shields, staffs, etc.These artifacts will possess unique and powerful magical powers, such as disillusioning enemies, summoning Dwemer mechs, or harnessing the power of Standing Stones.Because of its powerful ability, it is called "Shenguang Crystal" by the Dwemer dwarves.

Around the year 221 of the First Era (1E 221), the Dwemer discovered a rather large source of divine light crystals. The veins were mainly located in the Raldbthar region and spread all the way to Blackfall.The four Dwemer city-states led by Aken Samus formed a confederation to oversee mining, processing, and research.To smelt crystals under precisely controlled conditions, the Dwemer built a Divine Light Crystal Forge deep below Bthalft in the Rift.This forge uses lava to forge Dwemer artifacts of immense power and powerful magic.Later, the Dwarven Alliance discovered the more powerful Dark Heart (The Dark Heart), and built various instruments to study and control its power.They also built the Library of Arkthzand to share this knowledge.The result is an orb powered by the Heart of Darkness, using the crystal energy, kinetic energy, and rhythmic power emanating from the Divine Light Crystal to map the void.Eventually, internal disputes arose over the Shenguang Crystal and the Crystal Forge, and the Dwemer Alliance of City-States disintegrated, with the four cities and their rivals vying fiercely for control of the forge.This decades-long conflict became known as the "Aetherium Wars".

Many Namtara clans went to war, only to be killed by their own brethren.Ashtaret's parents died in that war, along with most of her friends and family.When her parents died in battle and the castle of the Namtara clan was burned down, she swore to her ancestors that she would definitely honor the Namtara clan.

As the Atherim War draws to a close and Akensamuz lies in ruins, Ashtaret gathers what little of the family's remaining wealth is left to delve into the science of magic.From apprentice to master, Ashtaret built mighty Dwemer golems (Animunculi) to help her rebuild and revitalize her city after the devastation of the Atherim War.Centuries passed and the Dwemer Empire flourished again, thanks in part to Ashtaret's patented designs for some of the Dwemer Animunculus.As a master of magic, Ashtaret has finally restored the honor and respect that the Namtara clan has had since ancient times.Yet she remains the only surviving descendant of her clan.With the city-state of Aken Samus restored to its former glory, she decided it was time to settle down and start a family of her own, continuing the Namtara clan's bloodline.

Unfortunately, this dream never came true.

In 700 of the First Era (1E 700), Ash Woe Blight broke out in the Dwemer Empire due to the death of the sun.The upstart allies of the kingdom of Resadyn have declared war on their dwarf neighbours.Ashtaret joined the Defense Legion as a master of magical mechanics, responsible for the manufacture and maintenance of mechanical golems and Vamidium (Dwarven: 'mount').Although far away from war and killing, one day, Ashtaret, who was trying to make a Brass Dragon Golem, was dragged into the void by a mysterious force and disappeared.

In the endless void, 4000 years passed in the blink of an eye.When Ashtaret and her Vamidiyum mount, the brass golem dragon, awoke from a long dream and were once again in Akhentamz.She found that this was no longer the prosperous and wealthy Dwemer city-state she remembered.In the deep underground surrounded by the mutant Falmer of the ancient snow elves, Ashtaret, relying on the war puppets left in the ruins, fought hard to break out of this long-dead city and set foot on a completely different surface world ——The Province of Skyrim.Looking at the distant lights and the unfamiliar city, she found herself alone again. The 4000-year long void has revived the extremely strong Ashtaret in the short-term despair and confusion, and turned into a sky traveler, wandering and wandering in the northern land of Tamriel.Hope to open up a new life for her in this strange new world.

Ashtaret floated alone in the void for 4000 years, successfully avoiding the genocide of the Dwemer dwarves.

Obviously not just luck.

A copy of memory related to it jumped out of my mind.Wu Chen softly recited Mrs. Beilein's sigh: ""Tasting darkness is tasting infinity. This world suffers from endless and painful decay, born of a meaningless hope. But you know more. You Can hear it, can't you? The beating of the heart. They call it the void". "

"My lord, as you said. It was the energy from the 'Heart of Darkness' that dragged me into the void." Ashtaret made no secrets.

Heart of Darkness, also known as Frightful Heart.Its physical form is that of a dark sphere surrounded by a radiating aquamarine halo.It is a shard of the primordial void, trapped in Nirn (the mortal world), and warping existence around it.According to the ancient Khajiit (a humanoid feline orc), Namira became a hazy imitation of Lockhan's heart, which the Reach believed to have left behind since Locke sacrificed himself to create everything. dark.In any case, the heart of Lockhan created the Red Mountain today, and the heart of darkness is deep in Reach.

The Heart of Darkness provides a path to the Void, and by devouring souls, its power is also significantly increased.Those connected to the heart describe hearing intrusive whispers and being able to feel its pulse, with the stronger the heart beating more violently.Also, at the risk of being swallowed, one can draw on its power.But those trapped within the Heart of Darkness warp their physical form into monstrous dark corruptions known as Void stuff.

Of course, to this day, Heart of Darkness has been completely sealed.The past experience of the Heart of Darkness changing owners several times also shows that Ashtaret has only absorbed the energy of the Heart of Darkness, and does not own it.Although not twisted into a dark corroded body by the energy of the Heart of Darkness.But it also changed Ashtaret's appearance significantly.It is far from the former Dwemer dwarves.

"So, this is why you are more used to calling yourself a deep elf." Once upon a time, a deep elf was also one of the names of the Dwemer.It's just that in Skyrim now, many people have forgotten that dwarves are also elves.Not to mention the deep elves as dwarves.

"That's right, my lord." Ashtaret nodded and admitted.
