"Dagoth is the name for Red Mountain. It comes from Dagoth-Ur, the Sharmat, the villain which the Nerevarine defeated. They are a subject of my research... Even if others insist it's useless. They have an ethereal connection with music that I believe to be related to other things like Tonal Architecture."
Ronnie
"Doesn't Dagoth-Ur also have some control over dreams? I remember reading about that somewhere." He asks, pondering
Lara
"It's something i need to continue looking Into. I heard of some... Activity... On Solstheim. Probably just a rumour. Personally, I believe Dagoth-Ur and the tribunal Gods still persist, just not physically. Vivec worded it as being "Awake" Physically, but "Dreaming" Simultaneously. The wording is... Interesting."

*To most she probably sounded crazy. Her research is controversial among Dunmer, she never publishes anything or lets on about her actual theories.*
Ronnie
"Would that be possible? With The Heart destroyed?" He asks, "That was where they got their power, if I recall correctly."
Lara
*She sighed.*

"There is a lot left unexplained. If rumours are true, Dagoth-Ur still haunts the dreams of Dunmer."
 
 *She thought of the proper way to word it.*

"How can you kill a god? You can kill their bodies, but if Vivec isn't lying, they're still "Dreaming." Very busy. Vivec also didn't recieve power solely from the heart though..."
Ronnie
"I don't think Sotha or Almalexia could have survived." He says, "If the rumors are true Vivec could be around still, as a body was never found. And I do recall rumors of something happening in Solstheim, are you certain it's Dagoth?"
Lara
"It's likely Dagoth, every Daedric Prince, and some other entity up to something on that wretched island. Maybe the ghosts of the An-Xileel, still mad at the Redoran's who didn't slave, mind you."

Jo'Khari listened quietly to the conversation, as he had nothing to add. He wasn't very knowledgeable on the subject, and he knew when to shut up and listen.
Ronnie
"What of an outside source? I remember scrying the Solstheim area not too long ago, a lot of *Athra'a* Were gathered around those odd *Fasiira*... The All-Maker Stones, if I recall. Those don't seem like the work of Dagoth, perhaps a *Athranzoh*, but I couldn't tell you which." As he talks more about the topic more Ta'agra slips out, like he's thinking out loud
Lara
"Maybe worth investigating. Not like all of the dunmer just suddenly had a change of faith."

*She sighed.*

"Maybe it's time to head home."
Ronnie
"Have you read the book The Guardian and the Traitor? It tells a tale of a Dragon Priest who betrayed the Cult, seduced by Hermorah with promises of power..." He paces a bit, "He betrayed the Cult, using the power of the Thu'um. The odd thing is, it is not a tale from Skyrim, but from Solstheim, told by the Skaal. The book doesn't provide much evidence, just that it was a story told by the Skaal, and that they could not find any ruins of the Dragon Cult... But another interesting thing." He pauses, "According to the legend the Traitor was not slain, before the Guardian could strike the final blow... He was whisked away by Hermorah." He stops, and thinks a moment, "Could old legends be proving themselves true?"
Lara
"It's an old memory to me. I lived in a very Dunmer centric family but ive heard of the legend... It's just a very convienient explanation... Would he have such power to control the minds of others? *Nchow.* I suppose I'll take the next boat. I'll record my findings."
Ronnie
"Sometimes the most convenient explanation is the correct one, no?" He says, "Although I would not say it's very convenient, an almost forgotten figure in history, one that existed far before us." He sits, "Oh, if you're heading to Solstheim there's someone there you may want to contact. A dunmer by the name of Galdres, he works for Councilor Morvayn." He continues, "I believe he's responsible for investigating any odd occurences there."
