"They came for us once, and I believe they will return. No one can say when—their arrival is always unannounced. Our captors call them 'Scourge,' but we know them as saviors." —Biwulm, servant at Bal Sunnar
Bal Sunnar

Bal Sunnar is a group dungeon in Stonefalls. It is a remote Telvanni settlement found in the mountains south of Senie and was established several centuries prior to the Second Era by Matriarch Lladi Telvanni. However the area is subject to a temporal anomaly causing multiple eras of Bal Sunnar to be accessible.

It is included in the Scribes of Fate DLC alongside Scrivener's Hall.

Backstory DescriptionEdit

Update 37 Patch Notes

A mysterious temporal anomaly has drawn the Psijic Order to the dark elf tower at Bal Sunnar. What is the cause of the disturbance, what are the implications to Tamriel, and why are the local Dunmer so fearful and hostile to those trying to help?

LayoutEdit

Bal Sunnar's layout is unique because you time-travel four times during the dungeon, you will see how Bal Sunnar has been built and how it has evolved.

The PresentEdit

The Present is the first layout your encounter and also the last one, it is in ESO's current era. You discover with the psijic Saresea that it is a secluded dunmeri settlement composed of Telvanni forces, nix-hounds, argonian behemoths and argonian slaves. It is of Dunmeri architecture and has the usual giant mushrooms and ash mountains in the landscape. The recurring optional content is always located to the south-west, which here you can directly access to free the argonian slaves. A well stands at the center of the settlement. The Tower of Shadow's Blessing stands at the north after crossing a bridge over a river.

Tower of Shadow's BlessingEdit

The Tower of Shadow's Blessing is a small tower of dunmeri architecture. It is composed of a small entry room leading to a staircase which leads to a large circular room. This is where you will find the first boss of the dungeon, Kovan Giryon, using some kind of floating orb. After defeating him, the orb will transport you into the past.

The PastEdit

The Past is entered after defeating Kovan Giryon and no clues say when you ended up, apart from the fact that the Telvanni house already exists. You will wake in the Tower of Shadow's Blessing but is it in construction. Getting out of the tower reveals that you have travelled in the past. You will see that all the settlement is being built, the bridge you crossed earlier and the river aren't even there. Your only option is to delve into the caves beneath the settlement. You will encounter Talvenni forces, primitive animals and argonian slaves. The Cave is filled with mushrooms. The optional content is located at the usual area but to access it you have to traverse the hidden tunnel before the Excavation Chamber. Instead of a puzzle you will find a Telvanni slave-handler beating a friendly argonian behemoth and you will have to defeat the slave handler. Back to the tunnels you will arrive into the Excavation Chamber and encounter Matriarch Lladi Telvanni using the orb, now known as a "Temporal Distortion". When she notices you, she flees and lets her Nix-Ox pet, Roksa the Warped, fight you. Saresea arrives just in time to help you. After defeating it, the "Temporal Distortion" sends you forward in time.

The FutureEdit

The Future is entered after defeating Roksa the Warped and it is strongly suggested you ended up during the Red Year, aka 4E5. You wake up in the excavation chamber but now lava flows on the sides. A bucket tied to a rope can be activated to return to the surface, specifically through the well at the center of the settlement. The settlement is very damaged, fires burn the houses, the sky is dark with clouds and meteors fall everywhere. The optionnal content is now a daedric beam puzzle. While scouring the settlement you will find green goo and skeletons full of it battling you. The river under the bridge is now a lava river. At the northeast you see there is now a daedric shrine. By entering inside Banners representing a specific daedric prince, Peryite. You will encounter yet again Telvanni Forces which tells they have made a pact with Peryite. At the end of the daedric shrine, you will encounter an old Matriarch Lladi Telvanni tempering with the Temporal Distortion in an open squared area. She will attack you while Saresea tries to contain the distortion. After beating Matriarch Lladi Telvanni, Saresea sacrifices herself to contain to distortion which transports you into The Present again with a dead Matriarch Lladi Telvanni at the cost of her own existance being split in multiple eras at the same time. She gives found what was causing the temporal distortion, a Glyphic.
