This is a very large area composed of many sub-levels, all of which are worth exploring. The Dragonborn kills the two ghostly thralls in order to destroy Morokei and obtain the staff. Many years later, the Dragonborn visits Labyrinthian and follows in this group's footsteps in order to obtain the Staff of Magnus, needed to stop the machinations of Ancano back at the College of Winterhold. Desperate to contain the evil power of the Dragon Priest, Savos killed his two remaining companions and raised them as ghostly thralls, who remained in the chamber to maintain a magical containment ward to prevent Morokei from ever escaping. The other three reached the final chamber, where they encountered the ancient Dragon Priest Morokei. Accompanying Savos and Atmah were their fellow mages Takes-In-Light, Hafnar Ice-Fist, Girduin, and Elvali Veren. Shalidor's writings are specifically mentioned as a hoped-for find by Savos, although they are not found in the passages. Led by the Arch-Mage's favorite student, Atmah, a group of mages ventured into the ruins, searching for the Staff of Magnus and various other items believed to be within.
īefore becoming Arch-Mage, Savos Aren joined an expedition to Labyrinthian. Occasionally, trading caravans will pass through Labyrinthian, but will usually take safer, longer routes due to the freezing cold, snow, wind, and frost trolls in Labyrinthian and across the mountains.
Like most ancient Atmoran cities in Skyrim, it had been abandoned and fell into ruin as people migrated and spread across the country. In the Fourth Era, the city of Labyrinthian was but a memory. The name Labyrinthian eventually became synonymous with Bromjunaar and, after some time, the ruins were known as such.Īt some point between 3E 389 and 3E 399, the Eternal Champion retrieved a piece of the Staff of Chaos from the Labyrinthian to defeat Imperial Battlemage Jagar Tharn. The name "Labyrinthian" comes from the labyrinth which Arch-Mage Shalidor constructed inside the ruins of Bromjunaar during the First Era to test new Archmages, as he stood at the forefront of a movement to enact higher standards among mages and to discourage magicka usage among the common castes. After the war ended, the city was abandoned and it fell into ruin.
ĭuring the Dragon War, the city went through drastic changes as the forces of the dragons mobilized to fight against the people of Tamriel who were rebelling against them. There are, however, some historical records that prove that Bromjunaar was a center for the Dragon Priests, and many of the highest ranking Dragon Priests met here to discuss important matters. The temple then grew to become the city of Bromjunaar, and it is theorized that the city may have been the capital of Skyrim during the height of the Dragon Cult's power and influence, though few historical records exist to verify this. The ancient Nordic ruin of Labyrinthian was first constructed by the Dragon Cult as a temple to the dragons. May All Quake to Behold Her" ―Etched Tablet in Labyrinthian
