1.707 Coral Tower

“Although I don’t know what the ‘cloud emulsifier’ is. ‘emulsifier’ is often used in necromancers.” Grand Librarian Blarina Mayo was always knowledgeable: “It is believed that Sload slug people in the Thras Islands used a Sload Soap cooked by their offspring as an emulsifier for necromancers to significantly enhance the power of necromancers.”

The Terras Islands are located in the west of Xiamu Island and the Pearl Sea in the south of Yukuda continent (Sea of

Pearls. We know little about this archipelago, because it is often covered in fog and seems to be changing positions. On the earliest maps from the Third Age, Terras is a semicircular coral island composed of sixteen small islands, but in the following hundreds of years, its shape has been recorded in various forms. The largest island in the Terras is called Agonio, and according to the drawings of prospectors sent until different periods of the Third Age, Agonio is becoming larger and larger. No one knows whether this is the power of sea water or some magical power that changed the appearance of the archipelago. The only thing that Terras remains unchanged in these transformations is that there is a lagoon in the center where some kind of coral network can make the Slods move quickly between the archipelago. In addition, before the fleet arrived there, there was a coral tower in the center of the island (Coral)

Tower), according to records, the tower is made of blood-red coral, thousands of feet high - a building of any intelligent race known to Tamriel. The Slods would perform rituals on the tower, forcing the sacrifice to fall from the top of the tower for sacrifice, and most of the sacrifices would be broken into pulp, but a few disappeared before landing, and no one knew where they went, and some scholars believed that the tower might be an entrance connecting Naynn and Annihilation.

"Sload" is a synthetic word, composed of slugs and toads, so the Slods can also be called "slug people". This is very appropriate to their appearance. Slods are huge and bloated, with smooth and sticky bodies like slugs, but they also have webbed feet, curved legs, and eyes that are very similar to toads (but this does not mean that Slods cannot see anything still). Among the known Tamriel creatures, you may not find species that grow more disgusting than them.

Due to his huge body, Slod was very clumsy and could hardly move his fat body with his limbs. It is said that Slod's body size gradually increases with age. Slod was able to squirm forward like a slug when he was young, while Slod could only rely on magic to move himself. Slod had vocal organs, but it was very imperfect. Slod's own language was also rumbling, and not many Tamriel people could understand it.

If the above description makes you think that Slod is a stupid creature, you are very wrong. Contrary to the inferior appearance, Slod has amazing intelligence and thinking ability, and the average level may even surpass the intelligent races of Tamriel. Unlike the mortal thinking, Slod's thinking is extremely meticulous and cautious. In Slod's language, the word "adventure" is equivalent to "tragic disaster (Tragic Disaster), and it is said that in their own legend, any adventure story will end in tragedy. According to existing records, Slod has no words, nor the ability to read words, and his fat arms make it impossible for them to write anything, but they make up for it with their super memory. It is said that Slod can never forget anything for a lifetime.

Due to the clumsiness of the body, the Slods basically do not have any melee ability, but thanks to their extraordinary intelligence, the Slods are almost all powerful mages, especially proficient in necromancers and many mysterious magic that the Tamriels have never seen before. According to records, the Slods are extremely dark, filthy and frightening, such as capturing creatures in the sea for biochemical transformation, or using slaves as sacrifices for dark rituals. The Slods also use teleportation magic to move quickly, and some legends mention that Slods even own their own spacecraft.

The Slods also have a shrewd business acumen. Some rumors mentioned that many Slods secretly smuggled slaves and other contraband from the mainland.

The values ​​of the Slods and the Tamriel people are very different. The records now generally believe that the Slods are hermaphrodite creatures, and do not have the sense of morality or honor, or even emotions that the Tamriel people agree with, and there is no emotion to speak of even their descendants. Slod does not worship any gods known to Tamriel. Although they will trade with the annihilated demons from time to time, that is limited to the exchange of interests rather than worship. It is said that they believe in their "God of Worm (God of

Worms)”. The Slodians only agree with the choice of interests and rationality, and any means of achieving their ends and interests are reasonable and acceptable. They have no guilt for blasphemy, theft, kidnapping, murder, genocide or any other act that helps them achieve their goals. As long as they think it is in their best interest to do so. Although in some unnamed records, the Slodians worship terrible existences that cannot be described under the deep sea, it is completely impossible to imagine what it might be with the cognitive level of the Tamrier.

Because Slod's values ​​and the differences between the Tamriel race are so strong, they naturally became the Tamriel race - they are the enemy of the high elves. In addition, Slod does everything in battle, and their struggle with them has become the most tragic struggle in Xiamu Island, which is comparable to the high elves and sea elves. But unlike Anchor (Sea elves), Slod is not targeting the high elves. In fact, they are full of hostility towards any other intelligent race.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the Red Guard's hometown Yukuda was destroyed, the Red Guards followed the tradition to bury some dead people on the southern island of Yukuda to commemorate. These dead people were resurrected by Slod using necromancer spells and attacked the Red Guards, and were eventually stopped by the Red Guards.

1E 2260 to 1E 2280 During this period, Slod released the famous The Thrassian Plague to Tamriel. This plague dwarfed all the plagues after Tamriel. The entire Tamriel, especially the western coastal provinces, was everywhere, and the population of Tamriel's population dropped by half. Under the unprecedented threat, all the forces at that time were united for the first time and the only time that they have joined forces to form the famous All Flags

Navy marched into the Terras Islands. After paying a heavy price, the fleet killed all Slods who saw them to stop the plague. However, when the situation was over, Slod used magic to detonate the Coral Tower. The Terras Islands sank to the bottom of the sea together with the Coral Tower, and then formed the Maelstorm of Bal. Half of the ships of the Wanqi Fleet were sucked into the Great Vortex and could never return to Tamriel. It is said that the ships pulled into the Great Vortex were teleported to Cold Port, where they fell one by one from the sky and fell to the death of the Shiquan area. Many crew members survived the fall. The captain of the Golden Era and the demon god Morag Barr signed an agreement. He became the Lost Fleet.

The Admiral of Fleet, awarded the Crown of Bones, cursed himself and the sailors to become immortal skeletons, but allowed him to take full control of their actions. So the Admiral of the Skeleton ordered his skeleton crew to start building a new coral tower, hoping to use it to reach the entrance of the Great Whirlpool in the sky and return to Nayne.

After that, the surviving Slods rose again in the Terras Islands, but in the thousands of years since then, they have never taken action against Terras. The Terras Plague is also the most tragic attack from outside the mainland that Terras suffered in history.

Since the Terras Plague, the Slods have been silent for a long time. No one knows what they might be planning, whether they are still thinking about revenge on the Terras Plague, and we also pray that the Terras Plague is the first and last time their action. Because no matter the Akavir, the Pandonians, or even the ancient Yukudas and Atmora people, no race invasion of the Terrair will leave such unprecedented devastation as the Slods.

In some records, it is claimed that Slod was once an indigenous person of Xiamu Island, but left Xiamu Island for unknown reasons, and then he continued to invade Xiamu Island again and again, but this statement has not yet been confirmed.
