BlazeStryker Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Has anyone ever noticed that after the end of Lost to the Ages when Katria is at peace (or your companion with the proper mod) you can end up confronting and slaughtering that &&^%(^&%ing apprentice of hers, you remember, the one that wrote The Aetherium Wars and took the credit for her life's work? Yeah, him! After that, according to Bethesda, the record... is never set straight. Literally the conclusion of the quest description in the wiki entry is: "He is a very powerful elemental mage and can be quite challenging, but in the end, the only thing left to tell the tale of the four Dwemer city-states and the rare, luminescent crystal will be the tome The Aetherium Wars." Please refer to my topic title--THE HELL IT IS! God knows there's an entire industry of un-nerfing the quests of Skyrim. This needs fixing. An option to take the tale and tell it (preferably while wearing the Crown or whichever item) at the Bards' College so they can do their damn job and get history down correctly is clearly called for! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirebearCoat Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) Maybe after Katria fades away, at peace, a quest to go to Calcelmo to tell Katria's story, her discovery - showing the Aetherium artifact, and exposing the fraud that is her assistant. Then, when you meet the assistant in the road, it's not for him to try to silence you, but him attacking you for ruining his life. Maybe a couple of in game months down the road, you start seeing copies of Aetherium wars with an editor's note saying that the author of the book had been discredited, and that the work should be attributed to Katria (whatever her last name was).

BlazeStryker Posted July 2 Author Share Posted July 2 I like it. The book would be published after the apprentice pays the price for his outright theft (far beyond mere plagiarism) and its binding would be colored closer to the hue of Aetherium. The postscript of the book might even mention how he assaulted Katria's defender (your character) and paid for ruining Katria's life with his own. All things considered, Katria may well have been a professional acquaintance of Calcelmo's anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
