History

Red eagle stuff

Second Era

In 2E 582, Vateshran Ovra aided Sai Sahan in his quest to recover the lost art of Shehai by allowing him to access and read the ancient inscriptions in the sacred cave of Red Eagle located near Red Eagle Redoubt.

Sai Sahan ventured to the Reach in hopes to learn of the legend about the meeting between the master swordsman and sword-singer Rada al-Saran and Faolan the Red Eagle. Together with his lover Lyris Titanborn, and an ally they were scouring the region in search of clues regarding this meeting. According to the letters they found, Rada lost his ability to manifest a Shehai and traveled to the Reach to meet with Faolan to regain his lost abilities.

During their search they helped a Reacholk clan defeat a group of Gray Host vampires, and eventually were directed to the Hroldan Ring and later the Red Eagle Redoubt, where they met Ovra. They sought the guidance of the lore keeper. She agreed to help as the word of their actions was spread across the Reach. She allowed them to visit the ancient cave below the Red Eagle Redoubt, a place sacred to the Reachfolk. Ovra claimed that if the song was meant for them the answers will be found inside the sacred place. She also revealed that the same cave was the place where Rada and Faolan met and exchanged knowledge. The cave was safeguarded since those times and left alone. Ultimately Sai and Lyric uncovered the verses of the ancient song and sang it together. The knowledge he found in the cave as well as his dedication to his lover Lyris allowed Sai to manifest his Shehai.

Red Eagle Redoubt is perched on the precipice of the Tundra Plateau. Millenia of erosion have all but destroyed immense Nordic temple that once stood there. Remnants of stairs and foundations remain. Forsworn used it's natural defences and strategial location to their advantage and set up a camp there. Leader of the clan of Reachfolk who stationed there was a wielder of Red Eagle's Fury

Red Eagle ascent:This winding cave leads up to Red Eagle Redoubt's upper half. Avoid the oil pool (or shoot down the oil lamp above to ignite it), then look for a few potions next to a large brazier and a locked chest hidden behind some vines nearby. As you climb the first set of stairs, watch out for the rockfall and dart traps. A second chest can be found beneath the wooden stairs that lead up to the exit

exterior:As you emerge from the Red Eagle Ascent cave, travel south to find a lone chest sitting near a small yet unique statue that catches the eye [5.U], Return to the cave exit entrance and scale a long flight of stone steps to reach a sizable Forsworn camp on the hill above. Find a Skill Book in a tent up here, along with a few crafting stations. Slay the mighty Forsworn leader to find a special key on his corpse, along with Red Eagle's Fury,

Exterior (Ascent Area) As you emerge from the Red Eagle Ascent cave, travel south to find a lone chest sitting near a small yet unique statue that catches the eye [5.U], Return to the cave exit entrance and scale a long flight of stone steps to reach a sizable Forsworn camp on the hill above. Find a Skill Book in a tent up here, along with a few crafting stations. Slay the mighty Forsworn leader to find a special key on his corpse, along with Red Eagle's Fury, a unique sword. When you have finished in the comp, use the key to open the nearby iron door and enter the Sundered Towers [5.2/]. Pull a wall chain to lower the drawbridge and pillage the neighboring tower as well

Sundered Towers/Red Eagle Tower These two towers are a major landmark, visible from much of the Reach and the western Tundra. The eastern tower is initially barred and all but inaccessible because of the surrounding cliffs. To explore them, claim the key from the boss in Red Eagle Redoubt [5.26], then enter the western tower from the entrance near the boss. Loot a few urns on your way up, then pull a wall chain to lower a drawbridge to the eastern tower. Raid a locked chest here, take in the spectacular view from atop both towers, and then unbar the eastern door as you leave.

Reachman's Altar: Red Eagle Redoubt among the rocks and scrub southeast (and downhill) of Red Eagle Redoubt is a difftop promontory with the ruined remains of an old altar and a throne, along with a chest and bird's nest.

2: Among the Giants

Now travel to the mountains south and slightly west of Dawnstar, and climb to the large giants' camp of Stonehill Bluff. The place is surrounded by rocks on three sides, so the entrance and exit are the same. Head into the bluff, and check one of the grinding receptacles near a campfire; the Mammoth Tusk Powder is in there. You may take it without being attacked by the giants roaming this area, but you've got to be quick! > Mammoth Tusk Powder Material 3: Slaughter at Red Eagle Redoubt The final ingredient is the magically enhanced heart of a Forsworn Briarheart. Any Briarheart will do; if you don't already have one, find one lurking atop the mountains on the Reach's eastern edge. You're heading to Red Eagle Redoubt, accessible via a lengthy ascent from the Karth River near Sky Haven Temple. Approach the entrance, and remove all Forsworn threats from the exterior before entering the interior, known as Red Eagle Ascent. Pass the wooden stakes and skewered animals, and bring your weapons to bear on a couple of Forsworn in a gloomy grotto you can ignite if you blast the oily floor with fire. Climb up the sloping path and steps to an upper grotto, which features a flat stone plateau with an altar on it and four or five additional foes. Climb the wooden steps, then disappear up the exit corridor that leads back out to an iron door and the Reach. Turn right (north) and begin a battling ascent up a large set of stone steps. Make sure the Forsworn are tumbling off here in a spectacular death plummet, and not you! Head under the three stone arches as you reach a sizable Forsworn camp and further enemies, clearing the area methodically so you aren't attacked from behind. Don't rush this assault. Continue around in a clockwise circle, and trot south up the steps to the south, leading into the Sundered Towers. The Briarheart is up here. Clear the area of other foes first, before killing the Briarheart and searching the corpse. Pluck the Briar Heart from it. Then search the area for any treasure you wish to scavenge. (kinda proving maybe that they are one complex?)

Red Eagle Redoubt (Exterior) Follow the riverside trail up into the hills to reach your first objective, a cave entrance leading into Red Eagle Ascent. Head through the cave and back out into the exterior, then climb the stairs heading north, slaying Forsworn as you go. Continue up into the diffside Forsworn Camp, looking for a Forsworn Briarheart on the stone altar plateau at the top, close to the entrance to the Sundered Towers. The Briarheart carries a key to the tower nearby and the sword you seek, Red Eagle's Fury

Although vateshrans primarily commemorate their ancestors and record the history of the clans through the song they occasionally keep written records. Verses of the song of the Red Eagle were carved into stone pillars in the sacred cave in Red Eagle Redoubt and guarded by the vateshrans.

Vateshran Ovra was one of the Reachfolk historians and storytellers active in 2E 582, during the period of Interregnum. She was the keeper of the tale of the meeting between Rada al-Saran and Red Eagle and the custodian of the sacred cave underneath Red Eagle Redoubt.
