Lore:The Slave Rebellion – Man's Triumph

The ruination that came to the  s was inevitable. It was not, as less astute scholars postulate, due to the will of the   or some absurd mystical agent, but was a result of their degenerate   worship and gross underestimation of their slaves. The human leaders who challenged the Ayleids, Saint   in particular, recognized the cultural rot weakening their captors and took advantage of it to orchestrate one of the greatest triumphs of Men.

The debauched Elves were apparently quite creative when it came to devising new horrors to inflict on their slaves. What a shock that practices such as "flesh-sculpture" would drive the tormented men and women of   to rebellion. In their smug complacency, the Elves could not conceive of the possibility of an uprising—which was well for the slaves, who would have been summarily crushed by the Ayleids at the height of their power.

As evidenced by the ruins found throughout  , the Ayleids were an incredible force. The source of their prodigious might, however, was also the catalyst of their decline. Deals with   granted them the power they sought. They thought themselves in control—typical Elven arrogance—as poison crept into their society. The various Daedric cults began bickering and backstabbing, as is their wont, forming the cracks the rebellion would exploit.

Another critical factor in the dissolution of Ayleid rule was the indomitable will of the oppressed. We have all read accounts of heroic deeds executed by the likes of Alessia,  , and  . While it's obvious to anyone with a modicum of intellect that these tales are a bit hyperbolic, it is quite clear that exceptional individuals made the establishment of the   possible.

Alessia's Slave Army was populated with many examples of the true potential of Man. It is a pity that more texts have not survived, for the few we retain give us little insight, and dishonest scholars often distort them for slanderous political purposes. My own ancestor, "Tharanus Ye Redde-Hand," has been painted as either a slave-overseer or even implied to be  , the Mutilant of the  , based on ridiculous interpretations of obscure and questionable footnotes. The jealousy of lesser men, while I do so savor it, can be such an annoyance at times.

In reality, based on the rare texts I have had the privilege of consulting in the vaults of   itself, including the recently-discovered  , Tharanus was a critical supporter of Alessia's cause, disrupting supply routes through forged logistical orders and even leading his own battalion into some of the war's bloodiest conflicts. Sadly, the slanderous have sunk so low as to make preposterous accusations that I forged the scroll myself. Despicable.

Given the weakness of the Ayleids and the rather inspiring members of Alessia's retinue, the outcome of the war was determined before the first slaver was beheaded. The Slave Rebellion both teaches a cautionary lesson about the idiocy of trifling with the Daedra and demonstrates the power of men, who have rightfully ruled the heart of Tamriel since. As they always shall.

Trials

Trials are a form of endgame content in Elder Scrolls Online. They are designed for groups of 12, and each has a leaderboard associated with it. Each trial has a Normal and Veteran mode, although the leaderboard and the majority of achievements are restricted to Veteran mode.

Trials also have an additional Hard Mode for certain bosses, which can be activated manually within the dungeon itself. It typically involves activating an item or an object found near the boss. Unlike Group Dungeon hard mode (which is activated by reading a scroll), Trials hard mode can be turned on and off in all trials except for those in Craglorn.

Trials originally had a group-wide Soul Reservoir mechanic which limited the number of respawns to 36. This was replaced in Update 9 with the Vitality Bonus system, which affects the final score based on the number of remaining lives but does not force the trial to end if that limit is reached. 
The trials in Craglorn originally had no Normal mode and did not scale to the group leader. This was changed in Updates 10 and 11.

#Talk to Safa al-Satakalaam inside the Dragonstar inn.
#Find and defeat Raziyya - south of Skyreach Catacombs.
#Find and defeat Mazaluhad - west of Valley of Scars Wayshrine.
#Find and defeat Anyaq - northeast of Valley of Scars Wayshrine.
#Return to Safa.

|thumb|right|Anyaq and Zymel Ozarus

Detailed Walkthrough
On the upper floor of Dragonstar inn there is a woman called Safa al-Satakalaam who offers you "a dangerous but very profitable" task. Safa belongs to a cult called Satakal, however, three of her acolytes have left their old cult and joined the Scaled Court instead. Your task will be to find the cultists and punish them accordingly. The cultists are spread out along the southern parts of Upper Craglorn.

The Three Acolytes
Raziyya can be found on the southern side of Skyreach Catacombs - you may have to take the road up to the Catacombs and then jump over a few rocks, then fight through a small plateau of independent Scaled Court cultists to reach her - surrounded by a group of Scaled Court cultists. She is an assassin-type fighter, using stealth, and will summon waves of Scaled Court members to assist her.

Mazaluhad is found west of Valley of Scars Wayshrine, across the narrow river. He is conversing with Regent Soteras about the new recruits. You will have to fight them both, plus the assisting cultists. While Mazaluhad is fighting in melee, Soteras is a caster.  Mazaluhad has more health than his friend, but is more likely to die first simply because he getsin your way and keeps the heat off his ally.

Anyaq can be found northeast of Valley of Scars Wayshrine, near the road running through Iron Orc Nirncrux Mines. He is manipulating a storm atronach, Zymel Ozarus, who will assist him in combat. Beware the atronach's strong lightning attacks. If you concentrate on killing Zymel Ozarus first, it will die before its master.

When you have defeated all three acolyte deserters, return to Safa to inform her that you have completed the task. She comments on you looking unexpectedly healthy after such a difficult task, and concludes that perhaps she might need to train her acolytes more diligently.

Notes
All the bosses encountered as part of the quest - Mazaluhad, Raziyya, Anyaq (and their allies, Regent Soteras and Zymel Ozarus) - have a difficulty level of 2. This makes the quest a difficult, but manageable solo experience for a powerful character, the quest's designation as a group quest notwithstanding. Raziyya, the only one without a boss-level friend, is the only one who summons extras during the fight.
