Meanwhile…

Nerandur then thought to himself, as he made his way towards the mine “just another dull day of mining, can’t get into trouble for that can I”.

Nerandur came out of his shack and into the dull and grey atmosphere that was Raven Rock, the Dunmer gradually made his way through the marketplace the ring of merchant’s chants and calls whistled through his ears, pondering deals trying to catch the eye and ear of the ongoing traveler. Beggars wheezed and groaned as the Dark Elf past them and ignoring the panhandlers Nerandur walked past and towards the mine, a light sprinkle of ash and dust swept through the air, as a light gust shrilled against The Dunmer’s face, Nerandur squinted his eye’s as the oncoming wind blew against him. Nerandur neared the entrance to the mine and entered inside, Cresciuen Caerellius the most recent owner of the mine greeted him for another days work.

Cresciuen: Ahh, Nerandur, there you are I have got quite an important task for you to complete.

Nerandur: Yes boss, what do you want me to do?

Cresciuen: Walk with me…

Cresciuen then gestured to the Dunmer to follow him, whilst he explained his task... the both of them walked down a set of feeble wooden stairs; creaks echoed throughout the timeworn mine, as they continued down the stairs. They passed through large and small sections of the mine; all were filled with dust and webs.

Cresciuen: Now, this particular task is not like your everyday job of mining and depositing ore, it…it will require some courage Nerandur.

Nerandur: Get to the point Cresciuen.

Cresciuen: Patience lad, these things take some explaining… right, now then were was I… oh yes… your fellow workers Nerandur have been complaining…

Cresciuen then leant on the side of a fence he looked down into the mine, to the bottom. Nerandur sighed in frustration.

Nerandur: About what?

Cresciuen: Noises Nerandur, coming from the bottom of the mine… sounds of the dead… down there in fact...

Cresciuen then pointed down towards the bottom of the mine, overlooked by the section he stood on.

Nerandur: Down there… but no one has ever been to the bottom, before, how do you know of this rumor to be correct anyway, it could just be some rodents Cresciuen.

Cresciuen: Hahaaha… trust me boy, these are not mere rumors, there is something down there Skeever or Vampire, I don’t care, you’re going to go down there and deal with it.

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Nerandur: Why me!?

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Cresciuen: My paa Nerandur once told me a story, a story of a figure, a valiant and brave figure, and this figure was unlike any other my paa had ever seen, he said he sensed a strong presence around him. The figure one day came striding into the mine, my paa was just sweeping up at the entrance he watched the figure walk past him and into the mine, my paa told me that this figure must have been in quite a rush for he quickly made his way down the stairs and to the bottom of the mine, my paa shouted at him.. “Hey what do you think you’re doing” and the figure responded with a loud shout, he called. “Nerandur”,that was his response, my paa was quite puzzled for he had never heard the word. My paa then tried to follow but he could not find the figure from then on for he had vanished into the depths of the mine, and not to be seen since this very day…

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Nerandur looked bamboozled and confused: Why did the figure shout my name?

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Cresciuen: I don’t know, but maybe you can now find out… go down into the depths of this mine Nerandur and discover what mysteries lurk down there, for none of us know, for we don’t have the guts to go down, but you do boy, I can see a bright spark in that eye of yours, one just waiting to leap out and learn of its fate…

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Nerandur twitched slightly before looking down into the darkening pits of Raven Rock mine. The Dunmer took in a deep breath and headed downwards towards the bottom.

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Cresciuen: Wait Nerandur; take this armor and sword it may come more use to you than those rags you’ve got on and that blunted Pick Axe

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Cresciuen then handed over a full set of Leather armor, as well as a Steel sword.

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Nerandur: Thanks.

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Cresciuen: That armor belonged to my Great, Great Grandfather, may it serve you as it did with him.

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Nerandur then nodded, before heading down into the depths of the Mine…
