All I know of this character is simply that he had ties with King Wulfharth. He's a tricky one, that Ysmir. Died what, three times? He taught Talos to use the Voice, then Zurin Arcturus and he (Tiber Septim/Talos, etc.) attempted to capture his soul. Zrin was killed if I remember correctly, and not long after, the famous Battle of Red Mountain occured, with one prime shield-warden of Indoril Nerevar: his name was Alandro Sul. He killed Wulfharth. Again, if my mind holds true, Almalexia, Wulfharth, and the Underking all defeated Ada'Soom Dir-Kamaal at Red Mountain during his lust for power over Tamriel.

Now, history tells us through the lore- yes the two differ- that the Mantella was used in place of the Heart of Lorkhan once Ysmir accepted Numidium. Then it was destroyed and re-assembled by Tiber Septim, and he used it to gain prominence in the Empire. What's more, the Brass God was used for exploitation twice before: By the Dwemer (and I shall not go deep in that story); and the essences of its being presided over the heart, whereupon the Tribunal (associated of Indoril at the time) sought the tools in the chamber (this is where Dagon flees the scene after being driven mad) to achieve apotheosis. Ironically enough, Alandro Sul, the shield-warden to Indoril, was struck blind during his duel with Wulfharth. Eventually, it was he who spread the initial idea that Vivec (vehk), Sotha Sil (seht), and Almalexia (ayem) were not wholly truthful of their dealings with their fallen friend. It was sheer treason; they manipulated the heart, and used it to self-divinity, which is the very thing that Indoril made them promise not to do: "Never use the heart for the purpose it so eagerly compels you to"... could be one way of saying his last words. Even more ironic was that Alandro was rumoured to be the immortal son of Azura, hence why he would be in such deep relation to that particular legend. This is in the same way that Morihaus, son of Kyne, was sent to Nirn for the purpose of service and protection; eventually this would lead to the creation of the First Empire o Tamriel, of the Alessian Order.

I quite forget what the Mantella is. This, yes, is mainly about the relative story of Wulfharth....which isn't rellevant. Nonetheless, I said he had ties with him. Oh, I just remembered! The whole deal with the peace of Talos and the Tribunal leads to Wulfharth's betrayal. Eentually, he secedes from their doings. Apparently he is the Shezarrine...and an Ash-King too, though he was not a Dunmer in any account I have read. His ending of Zurin led to his repossession as a lich; the Underking as depicted on the cover of Daggerfall, and the very one who coined the first line in Morrowind: ''"Each Event is preceded by Prophecy, but without the Hero there is no Event." ''His rule of the fallen leads to the Warp in the West,and the eventual adoption of Talos into the pantheon of the Divines. As well, the Mantella was the gem on the Totem that was wieldedby the Lich-Underking; I'm guessing here, but I always considered Wulfharth, Tiber Septim, and Zurin Arctus to be the same guy. They are so related in the history and such. Jorunn led the army with Wulfharth...oh yeah...

Sorry about the length. I tend to do this, and you know what? Deal with it! :P
