Elder Scrolls: Online Details the Wrathstone DLC’s Ancient Ayleid King
The Elder Scrolls: Online Wrathstone DLC is the game’s most recent new expansion and launched towards the end of February, last month. The first of three planned dungeon packs in the year-long Season of the Dragon, Wrathstone brings two new group dungeons to the game; the Depths of Malatar and the Frostvault. In their latest character spotlight, ZeniMax Online Studios introduces fans to King Narilmor; an ancient Ayleid monarch who features in the Depths of Malatar dungeon.
The Ayleid King in The Elder Scrolls: Online Wrathstone DLC
Written as an extract from the; “unpublished biographies of the Ayleid Kings by the late Trujhane Fyrre,” the post delves into the history behind this ancient king. Narilmor was the ruler of Garlas Malatar, a kingdom within the Ayleid Empire and a peer of Umaril the Unfettered. (A character whom fans of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion may remember.) He was especially known as a devotee of Meridia, the Daedric god, and his city was bathed in Meridia’s light. He was a harsh but fair king, and surprisingly open to foreign neighbours. However, this did not last.
“After the fall of the White-Gold Tower,” the post explains; “which marked the end of the Ayleid Empire, King Narilmor withdrew from the world outside his kingdom and Garlas Malatar closed its gates to all outsiders. […] What happened within Garlas Malatar during those troubled times remains a mystery, as the site has remained sealed since the Alessians sacked the city.”
Malatar now lies in ruins, deep beneath an Imperial fortress. Elder Scrolls: Online players can delve into the ruins in the new Wrathstone DLC, searching for one half of the Dragonstone. Indeed, perhaps they will also find answers as to what happened in Garlas Malatar before its fall. The fact that the subterranean ruins are now overrun by Meridian Daedra is certainly mysterious. “Whatever the truth may be,” concludes the post; “on that day the Guiding Light and the rule of King Narilmor were extinguished, never to be seen again.”
