Itansehk and Drujeeta drifted alongside Hasir as if they were whispers on the wind. When they approached the magnificent temple - strikingly different from the drab atmosphere of the bluish-black stone standing like bi-colored dragon guarding eggs of the brightest shade of white, Hasir grabbed hold of the giant brass locked that looked like a dragon's head and knocked.
On each side of the door, great bronze eyes erupted and became bright as the great fires of Oblivion. Hasir gasped as he and his companions were bathed in an eerie green light that descended vertically, admitting them entry. Hasir's eyes grew wide as he beheld the massive room beyond the opened doors.
As if in a trance, Hasir stepped into the brilliant columed room, marvelled at the giant stone arch at the anteior of the chamber as he drew deeper into the chamber and sat a a rather ornate looking polished stone table flanked by similar looking chairs. He and his aunt and father sat down.
Drujeeta's eyes filled with tears as she looked at the seemingly endless hall of pillars.
"Oh my..." She gasped, hann flying to her mouth. Her amazed expression turned dour. "I wonder how the aylieds managed to build here, in the midst of Nirn's darket daedric realm?"
She glanced over to Hasir and Itansehk, inviting them to offer up theories. Itansehk looked stone-faced but Hasir spoke his mind.
"I have a theory that the daedric realms were underwater; water of which the gods created upon first constructing the planet from the nothingness that was the void. I think this ruin is not of Aylied make, rather, it is of sea elven make. See, my expoundation of the theory is that the sea elves predated Bosmer, Altmer, and yes, even Dunmer. That is why I theorize that the sea elves somehow escaped Molag Bal's influence and fled to the seas. I think Nirn was covered with nothing but sea and the continent we now know as Tamriel cropped up sometime at a later date."
