Harvest ' s End , 3E 172 Content . The book contains many pages of close , tightly - written scribbling . The earliest entry is marked " Harvest ' s End , 3E 172 . " Only the first few pages make sense . Later entries are incoherent and illegible . In the first few pages you learn the basic story of Chimere , Master Sorcerer , Summoner , and Direnni retainer , and how he treated with Lord Dagon , tricked him , and paid the price of his victory . Chimere Graegyn was a retainer of the ambitious Direnni clan . The Direnni derived the bulk of their power from their traffickings with Daedra , a very profitable but risky path to success . Chimere was perhaps the cleverest and most ambitious of the Direnni summoners . He dared to scheme against Lord Dagon , and won . When his trick succeeded , Dagon was cast into Oblivion . However , in the instant of his betrayal , Dagon struck out against the mortal who tricked him . Chimere ' s pact assured that he would live forever in his home town among the happy voices of his friends and countrymen . Twisting the literal words of Chimere ' s pact , Dagon scooped up tiny Caecilly Island ( a small island off the coast of Northmoor ) and hurled in into the void . All Chimere ' s friends and countrymen were instantly killed , though the sounds of their voices remained to torment Chimere ' s memory . Chimere was condemned to live forever , to grow progressively old and crippled with arthritis , and to contemplate the tragic consequences of his defiance of fate and fortune in cheating a Daedra Lord . In the earlier , more lucid sections of the journal , you also find other information of relevance to your current plight . Searching for details of Chimere ' s successful defeat of Dagon , you find the following : The Armor of the Saviour ' s Hide : Created by the Daedra Lord Malacath , this armor has the marvelous property of turning the blow of an oathbreaker . Chimere tricked Dagon into swearing an oath against the Powers which he had no intention of keeping . The Hide of the Savior turned Dagon ' s titanic fury long enough for Chimere to deliver his own attack - - an incantation invoked upon Dagon ' s " Protonymic " ( i . e . , True Name ) . Unfortunately , like many of Malacath ' s gifts , the armor is a mixed blessing . It also makes its wearer exceptionally vulnerable to magical attacks , so one should only wear it for particular occasions . Dagon ' s Protonymic : Chimere used Dagon ' s Protonymic in an incantation to invoke a sorcery that would gradually drain all of Dagon ' s power into the void . Chimere miscalculated , however , not realizing that Dagon ' s resistance could slow the draining of his power , even if it could not stop it . As a result , Dagon had the time to curse Chimere with a literal fulfillment of the terms of his bargain with Chimere . Rather than let his power drain into the void , Dagon cast it all into his curse . As a result , Caecilly Island was cast into the void , all its citizens were horribly slain , and Chimere was condemned to live forever among the ruins of his greatest ambition . You also find the following details concerning the Rituals of the Hunt : The Chapel of the Innocent Quarry : Chimere believes that Dagon had Caecilly Island established as the site of the Chapel of the Innocent Quarry to personally mock and torment Chimere . The green crystal structure was created by enchantments , and is the only building on the island erected since it was ripped from Tamriel and loosed in the void . The Spear : Supposedly the Spear of Bitter Mercy used in the Wild Hunt s could not be handled by any mortal or immortal save the ones sanctified to the Hunt and bound by its strictures . However , Chimere has determined that though the Spear ' s power is great , it is not unlimited , and that certain enchanted items - - for instance , the Armor of the Savior ' s Hide , forged by Malacath - - are sufficient to protect a mortal or immortal bearer from its maleficent energies .
