176 2. THE ELDER SCROLLS CHAPTER 2: DAGGERFALL
[33.5] {Anonymous Letter}
Dear {...},
You have probably not heard the fairy tale of Numidium, but you need to. The legend dates
back to the earliest parts of the third era. Numidium was supposed to be a giant so big his
hands could knock the moons from the sky. I do not recall from the stories whether
Numidium was supposed to be good or bad, but the legends used to scare me as a child. The
legends are, in fact, true. There was a Numidium, and, if situations continue, he will come
again. The Totem of Tiber Septim is used to control Numidium. However, legend has it that
great Numidium lost his Mantellan heart, whatever that is, in the final with Tiber Septim's
Battlemage. Until his heart is found, the Totem is useless.
