Nova's Adventures In The Archeology Guild - Chapter 1

After hearing a rumor while staying at the Merchant's Inn, Nova found himself standing outside of the old, dilapidated castle which was the headquarters for the Archeology Guild in Cyrodiil. The castle definitely looked to have seen better days, but didn't seem in danger of falling on his head, so Nova walked to the door and headed inside.

Upon entering, he stood looking around for a moment before hearing someone clear their throat nearby. Looking for the origin of the sound, Nova saw a smiling Argonian man in a red robe looking at him with curiosity. He approached the man and asked if the guild was hiring new members. After much discussion about his skills and (lack of) experience in archeology, the man, who had introduced himself as Teave, accepted Nova as a temporary member of the Archeology Guild and invited him to look around the guild hall and become acquainted with the other members.

After having a look around and chatting with the his new colleagues, Nova returned to Teave and asked if he had any work that needed done. He did in fact, and sent him off to explore a new archeological site the guild had recently discovered, which they were simply calling "The Spire". The guild desperately wanted to look into it further, but no one in the guild had enough combat experience to feel comfortable delving too deeply inside.

Upon arrival at the spire, Nova instantly saw that the guild members had been right in stating that the structure was unlike any other they or he had ever seen before. After looking around the base of the strange building, he decided to venture inside.

The interior of the spire was filled with oddly glowing blue crystals, and Nova wondered briefly about their alchemical properties before continuing further inside. At the end of the tunnel system, he found a crystal shard that was mostly encased in a dark rock, but still shone brightly where it was exposed. He slipped it into his bag and headed back to the guild hall.
