The Bone Library

"...and Coldharbour too had it's collection of books - ossuaries were to us gigantic bookshelves where knowledge of the cold-damned would one day join the pile of bones they, alive, were forced to study.

To tidy all this mess up was not even a burden. In fact, carving dates and conjuration circles upon those skulls had something soothing to our shattered mind. I thought, "that is a hobby I shall keep". For when we were younger, I copied books and scrolls at the Mage Guild already... Was there in fact any difference but the prime materials? "

Daedroth's reconnaissance into the boudoir of Golden Saint

One shouldn't base one's idea of a Golden Saint entirely on "Oblivion"—a first-hand account by someone veritably insane and thus beholden to most frightful fancies (in addition to being, all facts collated, a serial arsonist). No wonder that a mind diseased would paint these servants of Sheogorath as beautiful women of valkyresque stature. And animated statues they may well be, for their bodies are almost entirely made of some metallic alloy (I would say electrum if not for traces of greenish corrosion indicating the presence of copper). Given they have organic hearts pulsating underneath the golden plating—can golden saints really be a product of evil transmogrification of a living being?

Confession: Learning elder scrolls lore is hilarious to me because Skyrim shows us that little ghost kid from Morthal and it's "oh yay she moved on to the afterlife what a happy ending" and then I look up vampire lore for some unrelated stuff and I realize "Oh. Oh that kid is in hell. She is in actual hell. Okay."

mod note: it is my understanding that infection with the virus for vampirism only leads to becoming a vampire, and would assume that if someone died during that window (when vampirism is more easily curable) before one is actually a vampire, Molag Bal would have no claim on their soul (unless by other means). am I mistaken?

The Flight of Velehk Sain

Written as if it was an in-game book to be found in any of the TES games, here’s my jab at presenting Velehk Sain’s backstory (as seen in TDI/SITw) as if viewed by other Coldharbour kyn. The complete accuracy of this book is debatable, but it was eventually caught by dremora from other realms and mortals alike, and the prideful dialogue about the well-known pirate captain became a laughing stock to throw back at Bal dremora.

The legend has been rewritten with more and more inaccuracies, like naming Velehk Sain as a power kyn, or conflating the details of the death of the summoner; or has been parodied to expound on the pride of the author. However, the truest stories are only held by those who experienced them, and Velehk Sain isn’t keen to speak about his past.

This is the first document regarding Velehk’s name (not including criminal charges due to his pirating). Enjoy :]

Summary: The account of Velehk Sain as written by a power dremora.

Dated: 20th of Last Seed, 2E 631

Authored: Pehricach the Blood-Scribe

In the glorious plane of Coldharbour, kyn reign with authority over all other lesser daedra, coming only after the Prince of Domination himself. However, even a great people must have its squalor. The greatest of us are named power kyn, who serve loyally, faithfully, and without mercy under the name of Molag Bal. For our glory we are given many gifts from our Generous Master, one of the first being a personal servant. These serving kyn are created specifically for the purpose of use — they are given great beauty, no intellectual talents, no physical skills, and no names. The best will perform their duties to their superiors faithfully, while those who rebel deserve a punishment no less than erasure from our Great Prince.

This punishment was escaped by a traitorous serving kyn who ran from his master. The master, Kyrahk the Dominator, treated his server with no more cruelty than deserved, and yet the runaway insisted on rebelling throughout his existence. Despite this, Kyrahk showed mercy to the server and did not wish for his termination. This kindness, which was a pleasantry of the rarest variety, was wasted.

Dating 2E 582, Kyrahk left Coldharbour for battle, leaving his server without a watchman. That day, a mortal wizard entered Coldharbour. He longed for a serving kyn to call his own, but since servers have no names, none could be summoned. The arrogant mortal planned to approach our Lord of Schemes to trade for a server to take back to Nirn with him, but he was intercepted before he could bask within the Prince’s presence. The traitorous server presented himself to the wizard and asked to be summoned, and the wizard was keen for a moment, telling the server that he could not be summoned because he had no name. The server, ever-devious, lied to the mortal, naming himself Velehk Sain — he justified this in saying that very few serving kyn have names, but those that do are highly coveted and are cherished by Molag Bal himself. The server instructed the mortal to summon him a week from then, and the foolish wizard happily turned back to Nirn and prepared himself for the summon.

The detestable server then traveled through Coldharbour until he reached the throne of our Great Prince, asking for a trade. In exchange for his services, the kyn asked to be named by Molag Bal. Unaware of his devious nature, our Powerful Lord agreed and asked the kyn what he should be called. The server replied, “Velehk Sain,” and the Prince of Schemes made it true, assuming no harm could come from such a small-minded gesture. However, now that the server had a name given by the Lord of Domination himself, he had more power than ever deserved, and his plan was falling into action.

The serving kyn exchanged pleasantries with Molag Bal for five days and five nights, undeserving of our Prince’s warmth. On the sixth day, the server was returned to Kyrahk the Dominator, who rightfully punished the rebellious kyn for leaving his care by cutting his face, thus damaging the beauty that servers are blessed with. However, Kyrahk was unaware of the server’s plan, and was left painfully alone when the seventh day arrived.

By the week’s end, the damnable mortal summoned the server to his home on Nirn. He asked the mortal to assist in freeing him of his chains that bound him to Coldharbour and promised to reward the wizard in his efforts. A mortal fool, though, is but an insect to even the most useless of kyn, and after the chains were broken, he was killed by that who he called Velehk Sain. The server then fled to the sea, pursuing a life of material thievery that should be detested by all faithful power kyn. This account is written after his false name has made great strides on the disgusting mortal realm. Should he ever be seen on Mundus, let him be cut down swiftly so that he may return to Coldharbour and be punished for his atrocities.
