During the Interregnum in 2E 582 , the Llodos Plague has swept throughout the Deshaan Countryside and had affected many settlements such as Serkamora and Muth Gnaar . The city of Narsis went into lockdown to avoid the spread of the plague into Narsis . Councilor Ralden Hlaalu and Giron Sadri were in charge of the situation and noticed a sudden decrease in people living in Narsis . Before the lockdown , many residents fled to Mournhold to escape the plague but when the lockdown occurred , the resident count should have remained stagnant , but it started to decrease when people began to go missing . A mysterious traveler that was known as the Vestige appeared in Narsis and was ordered by Ralden to investigate the situation . The Vestige and an agent of the Morag Tong discovered a Daedric Cult known as the Maulborn on the eastern shores of Lake Hlaalu , dumping a strange concoction known as Plague Husk Scent into the lake . This was to destroy Narsis ' water supply . It was later revealed that Giron Sadri was allied with the Maulborn and deliberately brought the Llodos Plague into Narsis . The Vestige encountered Sadri in the nearby Narsis Ruins and defeated him in combat . Narsis was saved from the Llodos Plague , but the Plague Husk Scent was tested on Narsis to be eventually used in Mournhold . The Ebonheart Pact was notified and advanced to the Obsidian Gorge to deal with the creator of the plague , Merdyndril . Third Era .

A woman named Ilzheven was taken to power the Ingenium , but her lover , Ezhmaar Sul prevented this and inadvertently damaged the Ingenium , resulting in the Ministry dropping onto Vivec City . The meteor destroyed Vivec City and killed many citizens living in the city ; the impact left a huge crater that filled up with water that became known as the Scathing Bay .
