Who is magnus elder scrolls

An ancient belief that predate the religious reforms of the Riddle'thar Epiphany tells a story that when Magrus fled from Boethra and Lorkhaj, he could only see out of one eye and fell into the Moonshadow. There Azurah judged him as too full of fear to rule a sphere, and she tore out his other eye. Magrus left to the heavens blinded, but Azurah made of his eye a stone to reflect the Varliance Gate, which is known as the Aether Prism.

However, some Khajiiti sorcerers hold that Magrus left the eye willingly as an offering to Azurah and her children, and these magi still utter prayers to his name. Cyrodiilic legends say Magnus can inhabit the bodies of powerful mages and lend them his power.

He is also associated with Zurin Arctus , the Underking and is sometimes represented by an astrolabe, a telescope, or, more commonly, a staff. Reachmen celebrate their version of New Life Festival , a holiday originally dedicated to Magnus and pray for Hrokkibeg, the aspect of Hircine to protect the sun.

He supposedly created and used the Staff of Magnus , one of the elder artifacts of Tamriel. Legend tells that it's the only artifact capable of containing his immense power. In Cyrodiil , a magical stone , supposedly associated with a long-forgotten cult, can be found southeast of Bravil. Known as the Magnus Stone by the populace, it is said to grant a powerful blessing that bolsters the magical abilities of certain individuals.

Magnus realized his mistake and decided to terminate the project. The et'Ada convened at the Adamantine Tower at an event known as the Convention and decided to punish Lorkhan for his trickery. Soon after, Magnus fled to Aetherius in the last of Mundus' birth-pains. In his departure, he tore a hole through Oblivion, which became Nirn 's sun, itself now known as Magnus. In the eras that followed, many Altmer and Bretons worshipped him as a god, and he became a part of their respective pantheons.
