Lore:Jewel of Fire

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

The "Jewel of Fire" is the jewel Jagar Tharn created to store the Staff of Chaos power in, so that if anyone tried to recreate the staff it would be useless.

[edit] Role During the Imperial Simulacrum

In 3E 389, Jagar Tharn took the Staff of Chaos from Barenziah's court after seducing her. He used the staff to imprison the Emperor in the realm of Oblivion and then to kill his apprentice Ria Silmane so the Elder Council could not learn of his betrayal. Tharn wanted to make sure no one could release the emperor, so he attempted to destroy the staff. However, since the Staff of Chaos is indestructible, he splitted it into eight pieces, then hid them in forgotten, dangerous places throughout Tamriel. Tharn then made sure that no one could ever recreate the staff by draining its magical power into the Jewel of Fire which he kept hidden in the Imperial Palace, so that if someone were to recreate the staff it would be useless, and would have to reunite it with the Jewel of Fire.
