Do You Need to Fight Molag Bal Again in Cadwells Silver

"Information technology's the same former pish-posh. Gallant knight, epic quests rescued maidens. I came to this state when my head was quite unceremoniously separated from my body. Bad luck that, but yous brand the all-time of things."

―Cadwell^[src]

Sir Cadwell is the oldest of the soul shriven, and is a cheerful and endearingly mad lost soul. In life, he was an insane Imperial from Chorrol, and Lyris Titanborn remarks that the reason he has remained operation for so long is because he was already mad when he got to Coldharbour. It is said that he is not afraid of anyone, not even a Daedric Prince, and resides in Coldharbour. He died by decapitation.

Initially met in The Wailing Prison, he later appears in The Harborage, and subsequently on in many locations around Coldharbour. He has a hovel setup in a Nordic ruin in the southern part of the zone.

Background [ ]

Cadwell was formerly known every bit Cadwell the Betrayer, a champion and knight of a fourth dimension long by. He was known to help people but his motives weren't entirely donating.

Cadwell was friends with a Khajiit hero named Khunzar-ri, with whom he managed to stop the Dragons. This achievement was achieved past tricking Kaalgrontiid into placing a portion of his power in Plane of Jode. Blinded by his appetite, Kaalgrontiid ordered his brothers to practise the same. In one case the dragons were weakened, Cadwell and Khunzar-ri trapped them inside the Halls of Colossus.

Soon afterwards, Cadwell killed Khunzar-ri by stabbing him in the dorsum, an act which earned him the nickname, "the Betrayer." Cadwell hoped to steal the power of the dragons within the Core and slaughtered his way through Shadow Dance Temple to attain it, only Anequina's adepts managed to stop him by cut off his head and dismembering his trunk earlier he could achieve his goal.

Cadwell's body parts were buried in separate locations throughout Elsweyr, with his head existence cached in a grave marked with his championship. Cadwell lost all retentivity of his past cocky, becoming genuinely altruistic to the point of deeply hating his one-time self.^[one]

Testify: Soul Shriven in Coldharbour
In Coldharbour: "Hi, what's this? Out for a stroll, then? Lovely day for it." You must be Cadwell. "Sir Cadwell, yes indeed. A pleasure! And off-white Lyris! Skillful to see you lot, m'dearest! How are you, then?" We're trying to get within the Prophet'south Enclosure. The door is sealed. "Oh dear, oh dear. well, that is inconvenient, isn't information technology? Tell you what – I happen to know another way in! Much more of a breathtaking route. Rather a fun little jaunt, actually. Total of traps, and corpses, and nasty beasties filling up the bits in between." How do we go through all of that? "Rather cautiously, I expect. Watch your step, agree your nose, and do mind the traps. There'll similar as not be a off-white dose of running and skull-bashing besides." Where's the entrance? "Follow the river. Y'all'll detect the door to the Undercroft at the h2o'southward end. Once y'all're within, stick to the lite and y'all'll discover a ladder that volition take y'all right up to the Prophet, straightaway." "Do give him my all-time!" Thanks. "Best of luck. Practice bank check in now and again won't you?" Tell me virtually yourself, Sir Cadwell. "Well in that location's not much to tell, is at that place? It'south the same onetime pish-posh.

How long have you been here? "Oh, quite a long time. In fact, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if I were the oldest of the Soul Shriven. Of those who didn't go feral, that is.

Heart'due south in the right place, I suppose. Says she'due south got to rescue the Prophet to salve the states all from eternal torment. How an former blind man could exercise that is quite beyond me." What practice you know about the Prophet? "An Imperial gentleman. Plain he was one time a powerful mage, only the years haven't been kind. Lyris says he knows of a path back to Tamriel. I rather recall that if one existed, I'd take establish information technology by now." You lot don't recollect in that location'southward a way to become home? "I hadn't actually given it much idea. Anything'south possible, I suppose. Truth is. I've been hither and so long, this place feels like dwelling. Merely a good uprising now and again is a pleasant diversion, and so where'southward the damage, eh?"

Testify: Castle of the Worm
In Coldharbour: "I say, jolly good timing. Lyris, enchanted, equally ever. And you―you're looking fit for someone so ... how tin I put it? Deficient in the soul section?" Sir Cadwell? What are you doing here? "Wherever the forces of evil casualty upon the innocent, wherever souls are stolen and bodies shriven, wherever a people cry out for justice, there goest I! I mean, this whole eternal servitude business is rather nasty, don't you lot hold?" We need to find a way into the castle. "Dibella'south garters, why? Lovely grounds, no question. But it's positively chock with angry cultists carrying big weapons!" We need to rescue Abnur Tharn. It's complicated. "I see, I see. A rescue, is information technology? Well, that'southward a unlike kettle of fish, isn't it? Hmm. In that location is a cistern that drains into the waterway. The door is locked, simply that'southward not stopped me earlier. Why don't you encounter me there and we'll come across what's what?" Thanks, Sir Cadwell. Within the Castle Cistern: "You go along upwards nicely! I can't abide dawdlers." What's next? "This whole encarmine castle sits on top of an ocean of unstable Oblivion-whatsit. The Daedra use pipes to control the catamenia of it all and it comes out as steam." Continue. "Well, most of the doors in here are sealed with pressure from that steam. Information technology's all rather complicated, just in a nutshell―if I can tamper with the pipes, we tin can open the doors to the inner keep and you lot tin slip inside." What exercise yous need from us? "Well, I can handle the tinkering, but you lot'll have to keep the beasties off me. Information technology will exist quite a romp! Are y'all game?" I'grand game. Let's go. "Onward! Ha ha!" When Cadwell is most done: "One more than after this ane." "This should do it!" After shutting of the steam: "There y'all are! Quick every bit you please. There's even time for tea." Thanks. "A pleasance. Think null of information technology. The merest trifle. Truly. You'll find this Tharn boyfriend at the height of the Tower of Basic. You lot'll need to brand your mode through the continue'south heart to go to it, but information technology'southward not terribly far." What is he doing up there? "I understand the Male monarch of Worms has gear up him to the task of inspecting the soul gems that find their way into the castle―which is to say, well ... all of them. You lot'll see crates of the things scattered around the bounds." Why don't you come with us? We could utilise another hand. "Indeed? Well, I might just take you upward on that. But safety start! I'll stay here for the nonce and make sure nothing comes to bugger up our trivial adventure from backside." Thanks, Cadwell. While escaping the Tower Summit: "Hello again! Need a manner out? I'll have that open up in just a moment." "Arkay preserve u.s., you're every bit battered and bruised as a peach in a sack of rocks! Chip of the old derring-practise, was it? No affair. Y'all'll be needing an escape route, no dubiety?" Great timing, Cadwell. "Information technology's what I exercise, quite honestly. We should probably hurry it up. The entire castle is as bristly as a sack of sewing needles afterwards all that noise." Why don't you come with u.s.? "Come with you? Yous mean leave Coldharbour? Well, I don't know. It's been a very long fourth dimension since I've seen the world I left behind. Do you recollect it's wise?" You should come up along. Information technology might exist skilful for yous. "Well, that'south settled, then. And after all, y'all do need someone to lead you lot out of here. Onward!" Let's become! "Into the chute! Come on!" The world is in a terrible place correct now. Perhaps it isn't the best way to run into it. "Well, that wouldn't practise at all. And it's not so bad here, actually. Oblivion has its charms, doesn't it? Proceed, y'all scamps. In that location'southward a grate but alee that leads down to the rubbish tip. Exercise mind that first footstep, though!" Good luck, Sir Cadwell.

Show: The Library of Dusk
"Ah, there you are! The Groundskeeper said you had a pickup. I assume she was talking about this merry ring? Practiced to meet them alive and well. They are live... correct? Not that I mind the odd zombie. It'south the smell I can't abide. Nasty, that." They're wearied, but they're alive. "Yep, whenever I visit a library and practice some reading, I normally fall correct to sleep. Can't keep my eyes open. Great for when I get insomnia. Simply enough near my sleeping habits! I shall do my heroic duty and bring them back to the metropolis unharmed." Make sure they get back in one slice. "No worries at that place. Well-nigh all the people I've traveled with over the years have remained in 1 piece for the duration. I've seen the odd dismemberment, but that's far more than the exception than the rule" How exercise we get through all of that? "Rather charily, I expect. Picket your step, concur your nose, and exercise listen the traps. There'll similar as not exist a off-white dose of running and skull-bashing likewise." Where's the archway? "Follow the river.

Show: Cliffs of Failure
"Stand back, vile animal, lest I slay you in no uncertain terms! Oh, information technology'southward yous. Taking a stroll, then? Enjoying the cute countryside?" I'm trying to rescue people. "And you're doing a peachy job of it! Jolly good! Look a moment. Did yous go through that portal? Did you come across the Observer?" I did. "Jolly good! I've always wanted to play the Observer'south game. Just at present that you've done it, I suppose there's no signal, is there? I'grand sure I'll find some other quest to occupy my fourth dimension. So, where were we? Why did I come up here, over again?" To pb the people I rescued dorsum to the city. "Brilliant! Just slap-up! Truly! I wish I'd thought of it. Off with y'all, then.

Show: A Rage of Dragons^EW
At the old gravesite: "Ah, hello in that location! Good to come across y'all again, quondam chum! Take you come up to pay your respects, too? Information technology was the strangest matter. I dreamed I was looking at this very gravestone. And then here I came and there it is, all solid and everything!" Is that gravestone important? "Important? I take no thought! I suppose it must be. I saw information technology in a dream, afterward all. Or was it a vision? I become those 2 dislocated. Anyway, I felt a sort of pull and stepped through a door. And so pish-posh, Honour'southward a bantam guar—and here I am!" Abnur Tharn sent me to check on surges of power he detected. "Jolly good! I've ever wanted to play the Observer's game. Simply at present that y'all've washed it, I suppose there's no point, is in that location? I'thousand sure I'll find another quest to occupy my time. And so, where were we? Why did I come here, over again?" To pb the people I rescued back to the city. "Tharn, yous say? The grumpy battlemage? How is the old boy? The surges were probably only me. My portal took a few tries before we honed in on this exact location. Now, why don't y'all take a await at the gravestone and run into what you make of it, hmm?" What happened at the other sites y'all visited before you establish this gravestone? "Well, it took a few tries to find the exact spot I saw in my dream. A number of frightfully rude lads and lassies occupied the commencement location I visited. Demanded my surrender, if yous can imagine such a affair. Naturally, I gave them the old heave-ho!" I saw that bantam guar rummaging effectually in a foul-smelling sack at one site. "Foul-smelling? I'll take you know that was my lunch! Can't believe I lost it. And if by bantam guar you mean my faithful steed, Accolade, well, he's e'er getting into my foodstuffs. Has the appetite of a mammoth and the cunning of a fox, that one!" And did you lot besides dispatch the ogrim I found at i of the sites? "Acceleration? Why would I practice such a terrible thing? I adore those adorable pudge-buckets! Alas, Grook was continuing a little too close when I opened my portal. Poor thing fell in and took a nasty spill. When the neck bone snaps, it makes an awful sound." After reading the gravestone: "Were the words the same for you? Sometimes written linguistic communication likes to confuse me. Words change and switch places. Very annoying. Anyhow, the gravestone mentions the Betrayer. Sounds like a dastardly chap. I wonder if I ever met him?" Why exercise you lot think you dreamed about this gravestone? "I don't accept the slightest idea. The words inscribed upon information technology conjure up all kinds of questions though. Who is this Betrayer? Whom did he betray? Why did they bury only his head? And where did they put the remainder of the poor fellow? I don't take a clue!" Abnur Tharn said that if I found you lot, I should ask if you'll assist the states with Elsweyr's Dragon problem. "Dragons! I haven't battled a Dragon since … you know, I tin't remember, only I'thousand certain I fought one or two in my day. I was a gallant knight, after all." "Of form I'll help! I just need to practice a fiddling more earthworks into this dream thing first." Then we'll see yous soon. In Riverhold: "Ah, at that place you lot are! Spare a moment for a chit-chat, hmm?" "If we've had this conversation already, so I wanted to thank you lot for the useful communication. But if I haven't seen yous since our talk at that mysterious gravestone, which seems much more than probable, so I could really utilize your aid." I just got dorsum, Cadwell. Tell me what's wrong. "Did I mention the dreams? Visions, really. They come up and become without warning, like seeing through someone else's eyes. Quite disconcerting, in an interesting sort of way." "Anyhow, my trusty shovel and I, we searched that entire grave, and it was gone." Gone? What was gone? "The Betrayer's caput! The dreams, the visions, they drew me there, but someone got to it before I did! I have the strangest sensation in the pit of my tum. It could be the cobweb porridge I had for breakfast. Or something bad is almost to happen." You think the Betrayer's head has something to do with the Dragons? "Well, that's sort of like leaping from the Cliffs of Failure without a rope. Or at least without tying the end off first. I tin't tell yous how many times I've made that mistake! Oh, Abnur wants to come across y'all. He's in the town hall with the cat-general." I'll become discover Abnur Tharn.
