*Winterhold Town - Battle Hearth Casino*
This is my casino, the biggest gambling business in Winterhold and the origin of Gwent in this world. It was built in a secured location because it is one of the biggest money making businesses in this hold. A true Nordic Casino that the weak hearted people won’t survive the deadly atmosphere inside it. Each employee in the casino is an experienced fighter and so of them are Aura Masters.
Why is that?
[Battle Hearth Casino] is not mainly about money, it is as its na gives off, a battle casino that even the best may not be safe in.
Not only [Gwent] but also the Arena of Winterhold is in the heart of this place. Strong Enchantnts support the building and a ton of guards are ready to show up once they sniff trouble.
In this place, few people stand on top. Jon Dare the creator of Gwent in this world, Jullanar the crazy avid collector of rare cards, Captain Geldof the old Nord sailor, Grandma Tola the old Nord woman whose talent in Gwent went wild after the age of 80, Even Nurina cos to try her luck in disguise.
Right now, I am playing a ga against one of the challengers who managed to make a lot of ruckus with the rare cards they collected.
He was playing with a Daedric Deck and his god card was hrunes Dagon. I was playing with the Skyrim Deck and my god card was Kyne.
The opponent na was Silus Vesuius, an Imperial who appeared in the ga. The players may know him as the one from the annoying Daedric Quest of hrunes Dagon.
"I am really honored to face the famous Thane of Winterhold." He seed respectful at first.
"Yeah, thanks."
"So, Mr. Jon, I heard that you have collected so important artifacts that I beca interested in."
"I did?"
"Yes, I was tracking down so pieces of an important artifact to and I found out that Mr. Jon has two of them."
"You an [hrunes’ Razor]."
"So Mr. Jon won’t beat around the bush? Fine by . I wish to acquire the two pieces of the razor." Silus said.
"Fine, but what are you putting in front of them?" I asked.
"Huh?"
"What ’Huh’? This is a gambling house, you wish to take sothing, you but sothing of the sa value in front of it."
"Eh... but..."
"Oh! I see, you only made it this far so you can convince to give you the pieces I acquired?"
"Ehem! I wasn’t really planning to wager on the ones I have but... I was going to exchange them for a big amount of gold." He said.
"I see... so the purpose of this ga was to et ... Wait! Did you just say ’the ones you have’? I thought you only have one piece and the other should be..."
"In the Reach." He continued my words.
"Interesting! Did you acquire the Poml too?"
"... Yes." Silus seed to be cautious.
"I see... how did you know that I acquired the two pieces that I have?"
Not anyone should know that? The first piece I acquired it when the bandits of cracked tusk keep and another band of hunters fought each other. That ti, I interfered with a large group of undead and obliterated the two parties while the second piece was collected by [Team 0].
"I... I followed so leads that ended with in Winterhold. I heard that one person has two pieces so I figured that soone is trying to put the razor together before . I had to go to the Reach and collect the last piece before he does and now I am here for the other two... Mr. Jon, please listen to . This artifact is very important to and my family, it is was once used by a group called the [Mythic Dawn] to..."
"I know the stories. Ending the [Septim Dynasty] and starting the [Oblivion Crisis] that almost ended the world. That’s a cursed bloodline you hail from, friend Silus."
"Yes, I know. But it is the only legacy they left and one that I wish to be associated with."
"You want to be associated with the group that almost ended the world and destroyed the bloodline of Talos? The Nords won’t like it, you know that?"
Silus seed desperate. He wanted to be part of sothing great. I could tell that he has an inferiority complex due to him hearing tales of his family and how fearso they were. From the ga, I know that his parents didn’t want him to pursue that path but he found so journals of his grandparents who participated in the Oblivion Crisis and wanted to have so heritage to be proud of. I can understand him. I have grown in an orphanage and saw many kids whose fathers were warriors and after their death, these kids always wanted to relate to the glory of their parents and continue on it.
But Silus belittled himself too much.
For soone who can track down artifacts and sniff the locations of the rare treasures, even looking at the card he is playing with, they were new and powerful.
"You are talented."
"... Excuse ?"
"You have a talent for collecting stuff. The talent is different than the hobby. I have that hobby and you have that talent. Maybe you and I can reach a better agreent."
"..." He beca silent but kept looking at .
"Here is what I know, both you and I will go to the Shrine of hrunes Dagon to put together [hrunes’ Razor] but before we do so, the Daedric Prince of Destruction, Revolution, Energy, Change and Ambition won’t like it if two people acquired the razor to only put it on display. That artifact that can wreak havoc in Tamriel is not worthy of such fate... what do you think will happen?"
To my words, Silus frowned.
We are dealing with the Daedra here and not just any Daedra, it is the Devil himself, hrunes Dagon. The most violent and evil Daedric lord of the seventeen. His official enemy is all the Mortal races and he tried to conquer Nirn on many occasions. He even destroyed the Continent of [Lyg] from the past Kalpa.
[A/n: Kalpa is an epoch of ti that happened before the Dawn Era. Each Kalpa marks the restart of the tiline starting from the Dawn Era (Creation Era) and each Kalpa is to be ended by the Dragon of the End of Ti, Alduin.]
Silus couldn’t reply.
"You may wish to have such glory for your family but it won’t end well for you. In the End, the Razor will find itself in the hands of soone who can use it and those who wish to bind it will et their demise. For soone with the talent of sniffing out artifacts like you? Your value is very important to and it would break my heart to see such a talent go to waste. Tell you what! After we play this ga, I will take you to my office and talk about a job I have for you, interested?"
