Mora explains that if the player wishes to defeat Miraak, he must gain the same knowledge that Miraak possesses. Through the Black Books, the player journeys into Apocrypha again, and personally encounters Hermaeus Mora. They release the mechanism and learn of a shout called "Bend Will", which is believed to be instrumental in defeating Miraak. Neloth accompanies the player to the Dwemer ruin of Nchardak to retrieve another Black Book sealed inside a complex container. Storn then sends the player to Neloth, who reveals that the Black Books are relics belonging to the Daedric Prince of Fate, Knowledge, and Memory, Hermaeus Mora, also known as the "keeper of forbidden knowledge", and the source of Miraak's power. Upon their return, the player visits Skaal Village and, advised by the Skaal shaman Storn, performs a special dragon shout on an All-Maker Stone, purifying the monolith and freeing the Skaal and the other denizens of the island from Miraak's control, while also having to contend with Lurkers, the other guardians of Apocrypha, sent by Miraak to reclaim the All-Maker Stones. Miraak discovers their presence, incapacitates them, and dismisses the player as inferior before having a pair of Seekers, guardians of Apocrypha, return them to Solstheim. Inside, the player discovers a "Black Book", and after reading it, is unwittingly transported into a realm of Oblivion called Apocrypha, where they witness Miraak planning his invasion of Tamriel. She accompanies the player into the Temple. The player reaches the Temple and encounters a Nord named Frea, who is immune to Miraak's control, attempting in vain to break his spell over her people, the Skaal. Among the unaffected observers is a Telvanni wizard, Neloth, who directs the player to the Temple of Miraak. It immediately becomes apparent that a majority of Solstheim's population has been unconsciously enslaved by Miraak and forced to work on several runic monoliths called "All-Maker Stones", scattered across the island.
The player then journeys to Solstheim to confront Miraak and his followers by chartering a ship, the Northern Maiden, out of Windhelm to take them to Raven Rock.Īfter arriving on the island, the player begins interrogating the citizens of Solstheim about Miraak. The player defeats the cultists and, upon investigating them, discovers a set of orders revealing their origins: the island of Solstheim. The island's main settlement, Raven Rock, is governed by House Redoran, one of five Great Houses who rule over Morrowind, and protected by their personal hold guards, the Redoran Guard.ĭragonborn's main quest line is initiated following an attack on the player, the Last Dragonborn, by cultists worshipping someone named Miraak, who is also referred to as First Dragonborn. The rest of the island follows a Dunmeri (Dark Elves) architectural style, even containing a giant mushroom transformed into a house. The island's settlements and buildings also reflect the differing cultures, with the Nordic half of the land featuring architecture similar to Skyrim's. The other half is barren, and covered in ash following the Red Mountain disaster. Geographically, half of Solstheim is similar to northern Skyrim, covered in icy glaciers and snow. Solstheim was a territory belonging to Skyrim until the High King gave the island to Morrowind to serve as a refuge for the Dunmer fleeing Morrowind after the eruption of the Red Mountain volcano. The expansion is set on the island of Solstheim, located off the north coast of Morrowind. New dragon shouts have also been introduced. The player can use a dragon to target and attack enemies, but does not have complete control of the flight. New armors, weapons, locations, and enemies have been introduced.Ī new feature in Dragonborn is the ability to tame and ride dragons.
