• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Soul Side, the frostbitten isle between Morrowind and Skyriam,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: a land carved by ancient Nords, haunted by dragger barrows
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: and whispered prophecies. In this frozen wasteland, the East Empire
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Company digs for precious metals with the native skull hardy
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: folk who worshiped the Allmaker sends imbalance in the winds.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: The imperial Captain Carrius greets our hero Outlander, where wolf
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: savage by men. The ranks grow discontent, smuggler's petal corruption.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: The Empire's foothold on soul Sime crumbles. But if you
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: are here to lend your aid, and I know of
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: no other reason as to why you would step foot
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: on this god forsaken island, than we need to get
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to work. Our company is falling apart, but order can
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: be restored if we act swiftly. The Nervreen quells the chaos,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: but Captain Carrius vanishes in the night, closely to Skull Village,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: where Tharst and hark Fang, chieftain of these animistic nords,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: greets the Stranger warily. The Skull are wary of outsiders,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and they shun imperial greed, living in oneness with the land,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: hunting only for need, and honoring the all Maker's gifts
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: as sacred standing stones. Prove thyself outlander. Heal our trees
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of life poisoned by greed. Judge the traitor in our
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: midst banish the Dadra from Lake Shaulding's eye of glass.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Only then may you walk among the Skull through the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: ritual of the Gifts. The hero communes with the all
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Maker at ancient stones of water, earth, beast, tree, sun,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and wind, restoring harmony to the land. But darker beastly
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: omens begin to gather werewolves, the hounds of her scene
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the Dadrik, Prince of the Hunt and the father of
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: man beast prowl the wilds with the Dragger, Lord Slain
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and Castle Karstag's frost giant roused. The werewolves then lay
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: siege to the village, and the Nervaren must choose to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: secure his lycanthrope and defend the Skull or as he
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: embraced the beast within, serving her scene's wild call. Regardless,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: sleep claims him and he awakens at the Mortrod Glacier,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the icy labyrinth of her scene.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: You four soulsim's greatest fight for glory. Survive my hounds
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: claim the right to face me strength, speed or guile.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: The blood moon wanes, hunt or be hunt.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Once the Giant is slain, the werewolf chieftain descends upon
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the Nervaren. Once he is defeated, it is revealed that
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: he is, in truth none other than the man tharstan Hartfang,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: leader of the Skull, who had been using the ring
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: of her scene for ages, extending his life and giving
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: him some measure of control over the so called gift
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: of his dadrich Lord. With the man be slain, the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Nervaren then confronts the aspect of here Seen, who reveals
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: himself as a bear of brutal might, a charging elka fury,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: or the Prince himself in cunning guise. The victory of
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the Nerveren shatters the hunt and the hero escapes. As
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the blood moon fades.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: The blood Moon will rise again, My hounds will hunt wants.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: More thanks to the heroism of the Nerveren, who plunged
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: into chaos that he might bring about order for this land.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Sol sim endures is lore carved in ice, the skulls
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: enduring faith in the Allmaker, her scenes eternal Chase, and
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the prophecies grim Cycle. Their Nevarene returns a legend of
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: soul SiGe, but the Hunter's shadow still lingers for the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: eras to come. Dega Thor has been defeated and the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Heart of Lord has been destroyed or at the very
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: least removed from the reach of mortal hands. However, the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: neer Verene is not beyond the reach of crisis, for
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: in the capital city of Morowind, a tribunal god has
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: forever lost her source of divinity, resulting in a dangerous desperation.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: As our hero rests from his troubles, he is awakened
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: in the night by an assassin of the Dark Brotherhood.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: The hero despatches his foe, and after a brief investigation,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: he has led to the capital city of Mornhold. Following
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the blood trail beneath the capital, the Neriveraren enters Mornhold's
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: under city, a labyrinth of Dwemmer vaults and forgotten tunnels. Here,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the Dark Brotherhood maintain its eastern headquarters, an open secret
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: tolerated by prior monarchs, now weaponized by the recently crowned
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: king Helseath against political rivals. Within weeks of the King's
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: tumultuous ascension, three simultaneous crises erupt. Goblin legions armed with
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: imperial steel, assaulted the city gates. Profane relics appear in
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: temple shrines, and clockwork horrors later called fabricants, massacre the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: royal guard. As the Nervaren deals with these crises, Almolexia
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: wants the public face of the tribunal issues a proclamation.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Sotha's sill has gone mad. Only the Nervarene can end
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: this threat.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: She presents the hero with a mission and with fragments
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: of a legendary blade, true Flame, the Sword of Nervar.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: The Nervene steps into sotha SIL's private cosmos, a self
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: contained plane of brass gears and suspended oceans, and eventually
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: finds the tribunal god sothisil dead with a single wound,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: cauterized by divine light. Our hero soon discovers that the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: murderer is al Molexia herself. Furthermore, it was al Molexia
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: who Centi assassins and loosed the fabricants.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Without the heart. I am nothing unless they believe that
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: I am everything.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: In these final minutes of the Mornhold crisis, that Nervaren
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: engages the warrior priestess in single combat, true flame meets
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: divine wrath, and the spirit of Nerevar finally achieves justice.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: The Tribunal is broken, the false gods are no more
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: of the three vi Veck alone wanders in obscurity, at
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: least to mortal eyes. Whatever became of this last member
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: of the Tribunal, Mornhold would never again kneel to a
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: living god. Within a decade, the new temple would declare
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the Tribunal saints, not deities. And somewhere beneath the city,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the gears of Sofa Syls abandoned dream still turn keeping
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: perfect time for a world that continually descends into chaos.
