Transmutation.
The dull chunk of iron turned into a lustrous, gleaming pile of gold in front of his very eyes. Soon the very foundation of Skyrim will change…
The assassination of the briar family wasn't that easy; technically he had a large bounty on his head in every hold plus the fact that maven became paranoid when her strings grew thinner in Skyrim due to the infamous assassin so she tripled the guards- all the money she hoarded over the years didn't save her from his silent blade. None would miss her cruel grasp in Riften.
All of her estates, money went the last vein of the briar family. Valia black briar … anything is possible with the right forging papers and a little bit of illusion magic. Soon, the dominance of maven was naught but a memory…
All of the fortune was put in hiring a considerable amount of mercenaries and mages with some keen in alteration. In the few months, all of the iron mines dotted across Skyrim were bought –both legally or illegally – all of these activities drew the attention of some families of some weight like shatter shield and silver blood… they knew that a storm is coming.
In the next few months, builders (especially those from the city of stone), couriers and engravers slowly disappeared from the holds. The course of time twisted when both of the empire and stormcloaks made a peace treaty (to catch breath for more future bloodshed it seemed). The unseen spies of the empire traced the bits and pieces of iron…Their discovery made the battle-hardened general shivers from fear
A sky-challenging tower made of pure gold erected secretly north of nightcaller temple in a secluded, frozen area, surrounded by a mighty wall made of gold as well. It wasn't so long till dozens of couriers spread across the land; their words set everything ablaze….
'Citizens of Skyrim, travelers, adventurers and those who seek fortunes and piles of gold! He or she who would bring the head of ulfric stormcloak or general tillus will have a glimpse of the fortune dwelling in the tower of Aesir which matched the might of the white tower! Rise up! Rise up children of Skyrim! Seek the glow of dawnstar seek the place in undying songs where Skyrim is free of tyranny of the wolf and the bear!"
And thus erupted the war of a hundred night…
