The Aetherial Mirror, Chapter V: Cyrodiil
by Vordur Steel-Hammer of the United Explorers of Scholarly Pursuits
The fifth part of the series about the retrieval of an ancient artifact

Thanks to research performed by some members of the Mages Guild in the Gold Coast, the Guild learned that another piece of the Mirror was hidden in the Ayleid ruin of Garlas Agea. Inside the ruin, the expedition found an inscription in Ayleidoon:

Mittavoy ye admavoy an agea, emeratu av anyammis, rielle av oia, latta va loria.
Epevoy av mer man ae ata av gandra.

In Cyrodilic it means:

Enter and hear the secret, music of life, beauty of eternity, light in darkness.
Speak of the Elf who is the father of the Gift.

The inscription was a key to a two-step puzzle. While the first part only involved moving some symbols around, the second required to "speak of the Father of the Gift", that is to utter the name of Nelathendil, the creator of the Mirror. Having solved the puzzle, the expedition had to defeat two Ayleid statues that came to life before they could claim the third piece of the Aetherial Mirror for themselves.
