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

Knowing that the last Aetherial Mirror fragment must be somewhere in Morrowind, the mages contacted Varyn Athryon, an Oathman of House Redoran with great knowledge of the forgotten corners of the Dunmeri land. When they met the Elf in Ebonheart, he recognized the location from the last picture to be the caldera of the Tormented Spire, one of the two great volcanoes in Stonefalls. Athryon told the mages that a magical key kept by House Dres in Kragenmoor was needed to access the Spire.

The expedition traveled to Kragenmoor and requested permission to use the key. In exchange, the Dres wanted them to investigate the disappearance of a cargo caravan travelling from Narsis to Kragenmoor. The mages completed this task and soon found themselves ascending the slopes of the fiery mountain. They reached the caldera, solved the last puzzle, and defeated the guardian, an Iron Atronach. The last fragment of the Aetherial Mirror was now in their hands.
