Personal Details

About Me Neloth is a master Telvanni wizard-lord and Enchanting master. He is said to be one of the oldest and most respected members of House Telvanni and a leading expert on heart stones.

He lives in the main tower of Tel Mithryn with his apprentice, Talvas Fathryon. He also employs various workers within the settlement, including a steward, cook, and mycologist.

Background:

During the late Third Era Neloth lived in Tel Naga, a Telvanni tower located in Sadrith Mora, Vvardenfell.

During this time he served as a clan leader in House Telvanni. While several of his fellow Telvanni councilors were assassinated, he managed to survive and went on to become the most powerful wizard of House Telvanni. Some even consider him to be the most powerful wizard in all of Morrowind.

At some point before the eruption of Red Mountain in 4E 05, Neloth left the island and moved to Solstheim, where he grew his citadel, Tel Mithryn, and the surrounding buildings with cuttings he brought from Morrowind. He also transplanted a few silt striders when he arrived, however none seem to have survived.

It was around this time he began studying the ash and molten rocks that landed on the shores of Solstheim from Red Mountain. He named them heart stones and learnt that they had the capacity to raise ash spawn from pieces of bone buried in the nearby ash. Neloth deduced that because they lay next to the Heart of Lorkhan for millennia, some vestige of its power must have seeped into them. It led him to believe they held secrets that have the potential to unlock great power.

Using his knowledge of heart stones, he created a staff enchanter. An exceptional feat beyond the skill of many wizards and mages. Powered by a large heart stone, it was capable of enchanting staves from all schools of magic, provided a heart stone was used in the imbuing process.

In addition to his arcane research, Neloth also pursued an interest in acquiring Daedric artifacts, particularly those attributed to Hermaeus Mora. He spent many years searching for the Oghma Infinium without success, however did manage to recover a Black Book, one of the many tomes of esoteric knowledge scattered throughout the world. Using the book, he located another in the ruins of Nchardak, a Dwemer ruin on the east coast of Solstheim. After exploring a small part of the ruins, he discovered the book was sealed within a protective case that he was unable to open. He elected to seal the ruins shut to keep out any meddlers until he could find a way to unlock the case.

Decades later he took on the services of a mycologist named Elynea Mothren, who became responsible for nurturing his tower, and later an apprentice named Ildari Sarothril. Ildari was headstrong with a strong interest in magic, however her lust for power caused her to continually push Neloth to teach her more.

Continuing his research into heart stones, Neloth began performing necropsies on spriggans, which led him to believe that a heart stone could be implanted in a person's chest, granting them great power. He considered replacing his own heart with a heart stone, however Ildari was coaxed into becoming his test subject with promises of power and glory. Neloth maintains that Ildari volunteered to let him operate on her first, however it is suggested that she actually had no choice in the matter. In 4E 181, Neloth performed the surgery that resulted in Ildari's heart being replaced with a heart stone. The experiment failed and Ildari died as a result. Neloth, mildly annoyed by the setback, had her buried in the cemetery behind Tel Mithryn. It was after this he took on Talvas Fathryon as his new apprentice, as he continued his research.

Personality:

Neloth is an eccentric, self-absorbed, tyrannical taskmaster with little to no regard for the safety of his apprentices or employees. He cares little for sentimentality or manners, not because he deliberately sets out to be malicious, rather because he sees little value in it. A fact that makes many of his workers disgruntled.

He views gratitude as a tool for the weak and foolish but is not above rewarding those who perform their duties admirably. In fact the only thing that seems to garner his attention is when efforts made are not wasted, believing that if a person fails, that is because they simply did not try hard enough.

He almost never accepts responsibility for his own flaws and does not accept the limits of others. He will often blame them for anything that goes wrong, yet is a profound genius at the art of enchanting and many other magical fields, but he has a special skill with enchantment in general, being a staff enchanter himself. He is also a collector of magical staffs, especially those crafted by Azra Nightwielder and has a strong affinity for canis root tea.

Though many view him with disdain, none can deny his mastery over the arcane was a trait that he had earned, entitling him to his arrogance.

Although that would make for a great Elder Scrolls game no one will go for that as not everyone has the time to play a game so tedious to where you have to rest, eat and drink and such. Good idea's though.

What? Where the hell would you get most of these weapons anyway? It's not like Bethesda just decides to add what they'd like in each game (They do). I mean it's not lore accurate, what Nord in Skyrim would be using a katana? I don't know, it's just my take on it anyway. Not being rude either just pointing it out it has to do with the area not the actual game.

in the topic What is your favorite style? Mage,warrior, or stealth? in the forum Elder Scrolls

Pure Mage. I was never good at archery weirdly enough and I could easily play a warrior though it doesn't have as much appeal as being able to use a wide arsenal of magic. From being the Gandalf/Dumbledore wizard to a scholar, being a mage is limitless. Especially when you go around hoarding Daedric artifacts! Knowledge is power.
