Emeric walked down a dark corridor, his personal bodyguard Tanis Vos ignited a torch and followed closely. The King reached a solid door, likely made of ebony or something even stronger, after placing his palm on the face of the door and it magically opened.

"My ancestor Anders Auld place an enchantment on the family vault so that only men of the Auld bloodline could open the doors."

"Seems awfully paranoid" Tanis replied.

"That was my ancestor, he was the equal of Kings and Emperors, yet he feared common thieves."

Mounds of gold lined the vault, along with trophies of the past Auld Lords including Anders Auld's armour, a silver crown encrusted with blood and the helmet of the last Septim Emperor. Emeric noticed Tanis staring at the helm.

"I'm surprised your eyes went straight for the helm Vos. Mayhaps I misjudged your character."

"There will always be more gold my King, but that is the helmet of the one and only Martin Septim, how in Oblivion did you manage to aquire it."

"My ancestor Julien Auld served in the Imperial Watch, he recovered the helm from the Battle of the Bruma Gate after the Emperor's demise."

"And he kept it?"

"No he delivered it to Chancellor Ocato who promptly displayed it for all to see, until his death and the ascension of the Mede Dynasty that is, whence it was removed from public sight."

"That still doesn't explain how it came to reside in this vault."

"Weeks before the rebellion, I ordered my loyal manservant Wolfida to steal the helm in order to further legitimize Daric's claim. However when it became clear that the Emperor did not require further legitimization I placed the helm in our family vault and here it has remained ever since."

Emeric moved past the helm and picked up a vile with red liquid, the moment he touched the vile the liquid inside turned blue.

"What in the name of Talos is that your grace?"

"Nothing good I assure you, my ancestor Anders created it as the ultimate defence for the King of Shornhelm, its only ever been used once in its existence."

"To do what?"

"To make the Gods cry in anguish."
