:Atildel: "The Apex Stone! It's sealed the Serpent away!"

You must speak with Atildel to receive your reward for completing the trial, which includes a coffer you can earn once a week.
:"Finally, the Serpent defeated. He killed so many of the others, wrought such destruction on this region … I didn't think I would live to see it happen."
:What now?
:"The battle against the Scaled Court will continue, but this was the one place in Craglorn the Serpent could be contained. You accomplished wonders today. Turuk wanted me to give this to you. Don't worry—it's not diseased. I think."''

:Atildel: "The Serpent's Stone. I never thought I'd live to see it. It's huge."
:Turuk Redclaws: "Turuk has seen bigger."
:Atildel: "It's a marvel of Nedic sorcery. Imagine—the literal essence of all our troubles in Craglorn trapped in one place. A miracle stone."
:Turuk Redclaws: "Turuk's stones are an equal miracle. Admittedly not Nedic."
:Atildel: "You're disgusting."
:Turuk Redclaws: "Turuk tries."''

Lore:Fervidius Tharn

of   ruled as Arch-Prelate of the   during the  .  Said to have been often mischaracterized and misunderstood, his allegiances and motives are unclear, conflicting and sometimes disputed. Fervidius began life in the Alessian Order as a humble oblate, but his accomplishments eventually led to him becoming Arch-Prelate of the entire order. During this time, it was said he wielded power almost as great as that of the emperor. 

His relationship with the  , a fanatical sect of the Alessian Order, and its goals is often contested by scholars. The ultimate goal of the Selective was to re-engineer the   in order to expunge the  i aspects from  .  To achieve this, they required eight pieces of an artifact called the  . These segments had been deliberately separated and hidden in the early First Era due to the threat posed by the complete staff.  

  claims that Fervidius was an enemy of the Marukhati Selective, and that when he learned of their plot to reassemble the staff he sent his agents to find and sequester the segments. Ultimately, he was apparently betrayed by his closest allies and killed.  Conversely, other evidence suggests that Fervidius actually supported, or was possibly even the leader of the Selectives. These include ancient edicts that support his belief in  , and orders to assemble the Staff of Towers for the ritual dance, which eventually led to the " " Dragon Break.   

Despite Fervidius' prominent role in the Alessian Order and the Middle Dawn, he is perhaps best remembered as the author of the Sermons Denouncing the Seventeen Leniencies.

Lore:Staff of Towers

The   is an   crafted by the   arch-mage   around the time of the  . It is composed of eight segments, each corresponding to one of the metaphysical   that shape the fabric of  . No sooner was the Staff constructed than it was separated into eight pieces, seven of which were taken to far corners of   and hidden by White-Gold Knights. The eighth, made in the image of  , Anumaril himself wore as a femur while walking with other Ayleid refugees to   and the Tower of  . There, he located the Stone of the Tower, the Perchance Acorn, and built an orrery around it, attempting to convert Green-Sap into another White-Gold to restore the Ayleid empire. This attempt failed, due to a fundamental incompatibility between Ayleid and   magic and belief. 

Centuries later, Arch-Prelate   of the   dispatched agents to recover all eight pieces and reassemble the Staff.  It was then used by the radical   in an attempt to excise the  i influences from the Dragon God of Time,  .  The wild ritual resulted in a massive  , and once again disintegrated the Staff into eight pieces. The pieces slowly fell back to Tamriel as stars, and were the only means for those trapped in the Middle Dawn to chart the progress of time.  

Around  , the fragments of the Staff were located by the  . The pieces were scattered all around Tamriel: the   and   fragments in  , the   and   fragments in  , the   and   fragments in  , the   fragment in  , and the   fragment in  . A   of the Psijic Order sealed time breaches around the continent, which allowed them to locate and retrieve the fragments. The reassembled Staff was subsequently stolen by  , a member of the Order who wanted to use the staff to alter time to reverse damage done to her family in the past. The Order managed to reclaim the Staff and exiled Josajeh. The Staff was subsequently placed in the   on  . 

Notes
A partially translated Ayleid tract, The Remnant of Light, may describe the journey of one of the "White-Gold Knights". At a time of blood—possibly the Alessian Rebellion—an Ayleid lord is given an artifact by Anumaril and told to take it to the far northern reaches of Tamriel. However, this could also be referring to the Light of Life, the relic stored in the Doomcrag of Rivenspire which was eventually corrupted into the Lightless Remnant.
The   is another similar artifact that was split into eight pieces and scattered across Tamriel. However, this staff was not created until at least two centuries after the Staff of Towers, and was not disassembled until the Third Era. 
In early drafts of the Main Quest for The Elder Scrolls Online, the Staff of Towers played a key role in the story and was called the Balac, meaning that it was the same artifact as the Staff of Chaos.  This story was later scrapped and the Staff of Towers initially only appeared in the game by mention in some books, later appearing in the Summerset Chapter many years after launch.
