Range Summerset Isles (presumed extinct)

Gheatus (or Gheateus)[1] are a Fey variant considered to be ancient godlike beings that inhabited the Summerset Isles.[2][3] According to legend, they are rock-spirits that took the form of a man or a group of men who were formed by the earth itself,[2][3] and they are said to have been surrounded by a host of minor Sylphim.[1] They were once far more common and attacked the early Aldmer, but were fought off by Torinaan's use of ancestral lore and meteoric glass to channel aetherial energy in the form of lightning, ice, and fire to kill them,[4] and they were exterminated in a few short years.[5][6] Legend has it that the excavation of Wansalen was halted, and the halls abandoned, when the Elven miners roused and angered an ancient Gheatus, but the Sapiarchs dismiss this story as a fable with no truth to it.[3] They are now supposedly extinct,[6] though some have sought out ways to bring them back from extinction.[5]

NotesEdit

  • ^  An early concept art cover for Tribunal depicts a giant godlike demon forming from the earth back when the game was set on Summerset, which matches up with the description of the Gheatus.
