There are many other quests you must undertake in the meantime: rescuing people, delving into ancient ruins, and other typical (but exciting) fantasy adventures.Īrena presents you with literally the entire Empire, and you can visit each province. The objective is to assemble the parts of a magic staff that can be used against Jagar Tharn, and confront him in the Imperial City once you have become powerful enough to stop him. You then emerge (if you are lucky) in a random part of the Empire… and the story begins. You find a smattering of helpful equipment and progress through what seems to be a set of sewers, slaying rats and goblins as you seek the exit. Silmane sends her spirit to you as you languish in the dungeons beneath the Imperial City, and sets you free by helping you find a key to open your cell. Tharn also kills his apprentice, Ria Silmane, because he knows she cannot be corrupted. Tharn imprisons the Emperor in a pocket dimension, and uses magic to assume his form. Hunting MacGuffins, hobnobbing with royalty, battling wizards and skeletons… welcome to Tamriel.Īrena‘s plot involves the betrayal of the Emperor by his battlemage Jagar Tharn.
