Again, anyone can comment here without register / login, fantastic.

I was wondering why blackreach is so huge. I entered there through Aftland something. Trying to explore the whole place thoroughly, I have now discovered two "great lifts" now, which are so far away from each other.

I shouted at the orb after reading the wiki about it. At that time I was at the highest spot in the cave - the Rumination Hall. The dragon did not see me and landed on the ground. Serana, who is following me around at that time, said, "Must have ran off."

I jumped down from the Rumination Hall because I have the "Better Jump" mod (I reached that high spot through normal path, though) and red indicator in the top bar appears again. I killed Volthuryol at the cost of drinking up all my potions of minor healings I had painstakingly gathered for a long time... (yes, I am a new player, stacking Damage and Health every time I level up)

I also have a theory how the dragon ended up there. First, does anyone notice, that there is also only one Giant in Blackrach? Because my theory has something to do with that Giant, too. You see, the first time I arrived at Aftland (or Aft-something), I saw a Dragon fighting a Giant. I just stood and watched and did not meddle in their business. I wonder, that dragon and that giant must have become so bored. They are fighting each other, but they probably are firends. That is their way of finding something /anything to do...

Ok, ok... I omitted something, because it might be too much to explain, too much for my English proficiency to contain... Now, the truth is, the above acount was the second time I encountered those two - the Dragon and the Giant. The first time was when I went to that Something-Pass to look for the Amulet of Akly-something. And I made a mistake... You see, I already had the "Better Jump" mod back then. So I jumped to mountain top and killed that particular dragon, who was fighting the giant (but who, I thought, were actually buddies). And what is the result? That dragon died, but No Soul Absorbed! (Alas, I did not remember whether that dragon has a particular name.)

I smashed the dragon's head again, and as a result, the dragon's mouth opened bigger. It was scary... a pile of dragon "meat"... I mean, the dragon corpse, supposedly dead, but still looks alive... definitely more scary than the dead dragon bones.

So I used the console command "recycleactor" on the dead dragon, and used "better jump" to jump far, far away from there...

Now dear reader, you must have got the idea now, why the second time I saw the Dragon and Giant fighting, I stood by and did not meddle with their business... ...

But oh dear, that was a "LONG way around" back to the theory about how Vulthuryol ended up in the cave... Yes, some might already have guessed it... remember also the lonely giant... Yes. They are the same pair of buddies... Or the same, in a parallel "continuum"... They were fighting fiercely, entangled together... In the heat of the fight, the Gaint gave a powerful stamp on the ground, and Oops!!! The ground below is hallow! because of the Dwemar's "nice job"!!!

The Giant stamped a big hole on Blackreach's "ceiling" and fell straight in. The Dragon however, fell half way in and became stuck there for no-one-knows how many years. When you, the dragonborn, Fus-ro-dahed, the stuck dragon at the long last fell down, in a sense "freed" by you, Dohvarkiin... But you still fought each other to the death, because that is the only thing he, and you, knew doing... it was just meant to be... Not to mention, also, that you probably have already killed his Giant buddy by then...
