FormID: 01007CCB 00Joscelyn GREETING 0 Hello adventurer.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 0 At the dawn of time, the gods created our realm, the Mundus, but their act required many to sacrifice their lives for this creation.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 1 Untold immortal lives ended for it, and many others were crippled. Those that survived abandoned their creation, knowing its true form and purpose.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 2 When they did, they ripped holes in the sky that opened into the realms of Oblivion, as well as the land of the dead and the land of the Divine.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 3 A tome was written during this darkest point in history, but it was not scribed by any living hand.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 4 It was bound in the flesh of the crawling things that would become mortal, and inked in their blood.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 5 This was the Book of Dead Names and it contained the names of the gods who lost their lives in the creation of the worlds.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 6 These names held the power of their sacrifice and the book was meant to safeguard this power from the Daedra Princes.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 7 When the Princes found out about the book, they stormed the Mundus to retrieve it. Great battles were fought in the sky, on the earth and in the sea.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 8 The book was lost during the battle and ended up in the hands of the very mortals it had been constructed of.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 9 They opened the book and the powers of the names spilled forth into the world as a black energy, a crawling chaos.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 10 The mortals ran for their lives, but it was futile. The darkness was everywhere. Then, unexpectedly, it sank into the ground.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 11 The mortals thought the terror was over, but very soon after, the ground erupted all across the planet, not with the chaos, but with death.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 12 It was a custom among the first mortals to bury their dead, just as it has been for the last few centuries. It was this that came forth from the pits
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 13 The crawling chaos brought life to the rotting flesh below the ground, as well as a hunger for the taste of the living.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 14 The undead woke to feast on their families.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 15 This was called the Uprising of the Dead, but that name has been lost to history.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 16 Those that had opened the Book of Dead Names recognized the power released into this world and they sought to control it.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 17 They were the first necromancers and their art was the first form of magic harnessed in the world.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 18 Through their knowledge, the Uprising was quelled and the undead brought under control of the living.
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 19 So you see why it is such an outrage for necromancy to be banned in Cyrodiil. There would be no Cyrodiil without it!
FormID: 010083A6 00Joscelyn OriginofNecromancy 20 Think about it.
FormID: 010083A8 00Joscelyn WormLichLovecraftian 0 I have a certain appreciation for the dead, a respect, an infatuation with their kind, even.
FormID: 010083A8 00Joscelyn WormLichLovecraftian 1 That is why I am a necromancer. It is in my blood. Yet there are things that I have seen claw their way through the night that?
FormID: 010083A8 00Joscelyn WormLichLovecraftian 2 Things that keep me awake at night?
FormID: 010083A8 00Joscelyn WormLichLovecraftian 3 Things that make me wake up screaming when I see their visage in my terror-stricken nightmares.
FormID: 010083A8 00Joscelyn WormLichLovecraftian 4 I can't go into it with you because?.because it makes my skin shiver just implying to you the horrors that await within the darkest darkness.
FormID: 010083A8 00Joscelyn WormLichLovecraftian 5 No sword or spell will lend you the chance to overcome this foe. You will not be victorious to that which waits underneath, but a victim you will be
FormID: 010083A8 00Joscelyn WormLichLovecraftian 6 The nethermost caverns are not for the fathoming of eyes that see; for their marvels are strange and terrific.
FormID: 010083A8 00Joscelyn WormLichLovecraftian 7 Cursed the ground where dead thoughts live new and oddly bodied, and evil the mind that is held by no head.
FormID: 010083A8 00Joscelyn WormLichLovecraftian 8 Wisely did Galerion say, that happy is the tomb where no sorcerer hath lain, and happy the town at night whose sorcerers are all ashes.
FormID: 010083A8 00Joscelyn WormLichLovecraftian 9 For it is of old rumor that the soul of the daedra-bought hastens not from his charnel clay, but fats and instructs the very worm that gnaw
FormID: 010083A8 00Joscelyn WormLichLovecraftian 10 'til out of corruption, horrid life springs, and the dull scavengers of earth wax crafty to vex it and swell monstrous to plague it.
FormID: 010083A8 00Joscelyn WormLichLovecraftian 11 Great holes secretly are dug where earth's pores ought to suffice, and things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl.
