==History==
===First Era===
During the early First Era, the Chimer and the Nedes of Stonefalls waged war with each other in the Nede-Chimer War. The Nedes sought to expand and conquer the land, including where the Chimer had already settled. At first, the Chimer sought diplomatic resolve, but the Nedes were unnegotiable, and everyone was not spared from their wrath, including women and children. Leading the Chimeri defense was General Balreth and Legate Sadal, esteemed warriors of modern-day Stonefalls. The Nedes had vast control over Stonefalls, cutting the Chimer's connection to the Inner Sea. The Chimer were suffering from the Nedes, being forced into a Daedric Ruin in Zabamat. The Chimer were dwindling in numbers, but Balreth and Sadal were able to destroy the Nedes with unconventional means. Using an ancient ritual with Nedic hearts, the Essence of Wrath, and the Essence of Fire, the two transformed into the Brothers of Strife, two powerful Bone Colossi. The Brothers decimated the Nedes, but wreck havoc throughout Stonefalls, killing everyone in their path, they need to be sealed away. The powerful Chimeri mage, Mavos Siloreth used his benevolent power to seal the Brothers of Strife in the twin spires of Stonefalls. The legend of the Brothers of Strife remained forever in Stonefalls.The Brothers of StrifeEvents in "Window on the Past"Events in "The Brothers Will Rise"
===Second Era===
During the Interregnum in 2E 582, House Telvanni sent Sorcerer Vunal and Sorcerer Nilae to the Brothers of Strife, to uncover the history behind these Stonefalls legends. Vunal sought the help of an adventurer who was passing through the area. They gathered the Heart Stones in the area and met with Nilae, to establish a link to the past. Nilae commenced a ritual where the adventurer underwent visions of the past, to see how the two Chimer warriors became the Brothers of Strife. In the end, the Telvanni wizards were able to gather the proper information, returning to their home with the records they were able to acquire.
