382 3. AN ELDER SCROLLS LEGEND: BATTLESPIRE
Next is a place called Shade Perilous. It's a Daedra stronghold, not one of the Dagon holds,
but a Noctural domain. Makes no sense to me - Dagon and Noctural are supposed to hate each
other - but we'll see soon enough.
Keep a'coming.

So far, so good.
I'm with a group of Daedra with cloaks and hoods. Still careless, don't seem to expect trouble,
but this disguise thing is too risky. When I get a chance, I'll slip off and follow under spell
concealments.
This place is crawling with spooks and bones. They call this place the Soul Cairn. The chief --
heard one call him "Lord Something-or-Other Moath" -- sent troops out to scout. The report is
simple: DO NOT FOOL WITH THE WRAITHS! They cannot be killed or destroyed. Period.
Sounds like a good policy. These daedra troops look pretty tough, but they aren't making a
dent in the wraith things. So stay clear of them.
Our next stop is someplace called Shade Perilous. Not sure after that. A couple of my Daedra
companions had little accidents; I snatched their plunder. When I get a chance, I'll sort it out.
Anything extra or dangerous I'll dump along the way for you. I'm leaving you two Spell
Restoratives here; I got plenty extra. Keep your eyes out, and watch yourself.

I've heard that one of the Battlemages is still alive - Clarentavious, I think. I haven't seen him,
but then, I haven't had time to look for any secret doors or anything. They wanted him
because of some machine or other that's broken.
