==History==
===Merethic Era===
During the Merethic Era, the legendary Khajiit hero Khunzar-ri and his Kra'Jun – his company of heroes – fought against the dragon Kaalgrontiid across Elsweyr. Khunzar-ri battled against Kaalgrontiid and his fellow dragons for forty-one days and nights, together with Nurarion the Perfect, Flinthild Demon-Hunter, Anequina Sharp-Tongue, and Cadwell. Because they were not able to defeat the dragons, they instead tricked them by siphoning their power in Jode's Core, leaving them weakened before trapping them within the Halls of Colossus, with only the Wrathstone able to unseal the doors.
===First Era===
Under unknown circumstances at an unknown time, the Wrathstone was believed to be possessed by the Dwemer architect Mhuvnak in the city of Mzulft in Skyrim. Following numerous attacks against the city over the years by Nords, other Dwemer clans, and Ayleids, Mhuvnak was speculated to have fled the city to nearby Kagrenzel with the Wrathstone before constructing the Vault of Mhuvnak – Frostvault – on the other side of the Darkwater River. The location of the Vault was lost in the intervening time between the fall and reclamation of Mzulft. The Dwemer used an Oculory in an attempt to find the forgotten Frostvault, but there was no indication that they ever succeeded. It is unknown how exactly the Wrathstone became split into two parts following this time.In Pursuit of Mhuvnak
By the end of the Alessian Slave Rebellion in 1E 243, the failing Ayleid kingdoms began a desperate search for the Wrathstone which they believed could turn the tide of their war against Men. A unit was sent to Mzulft, as it was believed that they had the Wrathstone,Frostbitten Journal but it was, in fact, the nearby Dwemer city of Kagrenzel that possessed it inside the Frostvault at this time. Meridia, patron deity of Garlas Malatar, told her followers that the empire of the Ayleids would fall, but that the city would be entrusted with one half of the Wrathstone to guard eternally. Despite the sacking of the city, Men never entered the inner reaches of Garlas Malatar before it fell to internal struggles due to its extreme isolationism, and the Wrathstone segment remained untouched within.Meet the Character – King Narilmor
===Second Era===
After the death of Tjurhane Fyrre in 2E 227,The Wild Elves the Empire discovered writings of interest in the deceased scholar's works relating to Garlas Malatar. The Imperials constructed Fort Mistwatch on the site of the Ayleid city in an attempt to cover up the subsequent excavation and looting.Dialogue with Tharayya during "The Guiding Light" in The expedition was abandoned when the entire cohort of Imperials were forcibly "purified," converting them into guardians that would eternally protect the Wrathstone segment, leaving no one left who knew of the entrance to the city.Face Meridia's Minions Within the Depths of Malatar
In 2E 582, both pieces of the Wrathstone in Garlas Malatar and Frostvault were recovered by Tharayya under the employ of Abnur Tharn.
