戴纳斯·瓦伦的笔记
如何对一生的研究做出总结?到目前为止我学到的东西是如此之少——先古时代琐碎的政治片段,还有把高尔多的名字从历史中擦去的古老运动。
我不知道佛古恩瑟里什么在等待着我,此刻,我已经尽力将它们拼凑到一起,这就是故事的真相。
在第一纪元的开放时期,大法师高尔多被整个北方的人所尊敬。智慧,财富,荣誉和权力,都是他的,甚至连伊斯格拉谟的后代都在寻求他的忠告。
在他那令人窒息的阴影的影响下,高尔多的三个儿子变得残忍和不满。他们渴望得到他们父亲那样的权力与名望,最终他的长子杰瑞克发现了他从未离身的一个神秘护符。他们一起谋划在他们父亲睡梦中将其杀死并瓜分他护符。由此,他们动手了。
对新力量痴迷的他们,开始毁灭周围的村庄。至高王干预了这场如此大规模的大屠杀,命令大法师格尔蒙德去阻止这俩兄弟的屠杀。经过了一场毁灭性的战争后,三个人跑到了外地。
米克拉尔是其中最年轻的一个,他逃到了佛古恩瑟,那是古代独孤城脚下的墓穴。虽然他打了三天三夜,他还是战败并被埋葬了,他的墓穴用象牙爪密封着。
格尔蒙德追逐杰瑞克到了一个半掩埋起来的墓穴,杰瑞克击倒了10个法师,但是还是寡不敌众。他也倒下了,随后被封印在一个荒废的城市里。
最终,西格迪斯被逼到了天际最南的地方。他向格尔蒙德领主发起了决斗,他知道他的敌人是为了荣誉而战。他们的决斗展开了,那是力量与力量间的决斗,他们在到达紫杉镇之前都倒下了。至高王下令以他的名义为格尔蒙德在湖上修建了一座坟墓,并把西格迪斯封印在里面,叫一个杀死他的人永远的守护他。
高尔多被埋葬在一个离他堡垒不远的洞穴里,那个地方叫触水岩。当它建好之后,哈拉尔德国王发布了法令:高尔多和他的儿子的名字和事迹将要在所有纪录和编年史上被删除。在死亡的悲痛下,他们无话可说,不要尝试揭开被封印的护符,因为那样代价太大了。
就这样吧。苟活于世。足矣。
四千年过去了,坟墓依然被封着。高尔多护符的碎片还在里面。自从那天我第一次听到那传闻,我就感觉到它的力量,它召唤着我,吸引着我。我将是第一个收回它,恢复它,送它重返世间的人。我必须拥有它,必须!
Daynas Valen's Notes
How to summarize a lifetime of research? So little of what I have learned matters now- the petty politics of ancient times, the age-long campaign to wipe out all mention of the Gauldur name.
I know not what awaits us within Folgunthur, so here, then, is the truth of the tale, as best I have been able to piece it together.
In the opening days of the First Era, the Archmage Gauldur was revered throughout the north. Wisdom, wealth, honor, and power were his, and even Ysgramor's heirs sought his counsel.
Smothered by his shadow, Gauldur's three sons grew cruel and resentful. They lusted after their father's power and prestige, and eventually Jyrik, the eldest, discovered its source: a mysterious amulet, from which he never parted. Together, they conspired to murder their father in his sleep and divide his amulet between them. And so it was done.
Consumed by their newfound power, the brothers laid waste to the surrounding villages. So great was the carnage that the High King himself intervened, sending a company of battlemages led by the Archmage Geirmund to subdue the brothers. And after a devastating battle, the three fled the field.
Mikrul, the youngest, was run to ground in Folgunthur, the ancient barows at the foot of Solitude. And though he fought for three days and nights, he was at last overcome and entombed there, his crypt sealed by an ivory claw.
Geirmund pursued Jyrik to the shattered crypts of Saarthal, half-buried even then. Ten veteran wizards fell before Jyrik's elemental magic, but he could not overcome them all together. He too fell, and was sealed within the ruined city.
And at last, Sigdis was cornered in the southernmost reaches of Skyrim. He challenged Lord Geirmund to a duel, knowing his foe was honor-bound to accept. And they clashed in battle, matched strength for strength, and fell together on the field before Ivarstead. The High King ordered a tomb built for Geirmund on the lake which still bears his name, and had Sigdis sealed within, forever guarded by the one who slew him.
Gauldur himself was interred in a cave not far from where his tower once stood, in the place called Reachwater Rock. And when it was done, King Harald issued an edict: the name and deeds of Gauldur and his sons were to be expunged from every record, every chronicle. Under pain of death, no word of them was to be spoken, lest any try to recover the amulet that had been sealed at so great a cost.
And so it was done. But a little survived the ages. Enough.
Four thousand years have passed, and the tombs remain sealed. The fragments of the Gauldur Amulet lie within. Since the day I first heard the rumor, I have felt its power, calling to me, pulling at me. I will be the one to reclaim it, restore it, bear it out into the world once more. I must have it. I must!
