I am creating a mod on the steam workshop Called Aetherius Magic. I need as much lore as possible to help me write the story for my mod. The main subject matter is Zurin Arctus. I need to know everything there is to know about him, and I only want answers that give me sources to their claims of lore. Any theories need to be credited. I have searched and searched through the wiki and found so many unaccredited posts that it only gave me more questions than answers. I want to be satisfied by elder scrolls lore masters that know what they are talking about. I don't know if real game developers that know the lore take any part in these forms but it would be awesome indeed it that happened. Please stay on topic and don't deviate from the main idea for this posting. Related topics that would be worthy to include are people or places that are directly related to Zurin's life story. Such as: Tiber Septim, Talos, The Underking, Wulfharth, Shor, Lorkhan, Magnus, Aetherius, and so on. Here is what I have found myself: Zurin Arctus was the first Imperial Battlemage under Tiber Septim. He was a master at enchantment and destruction, and was possibly responsible for the alliance between the Tribunal and the empire, resulting in Vivec giving Numidium, the giant golem the dwarves made, over to the empire. Cyrodilic legends say Magnus, the god of sorcery and magic, can inhabit the bodies of powerful magicians and lend them his power. Associated with Zurin Arctus, The Underking. He possible was responsible for the creation of the Mantella where he infused his own heart to power Numidium. After that Tiber Septim used the giant golem to destroy the Aldmeri Dominion, and thus conquering all of Tamriel. Tiber Septim then used the Numidium to destroy all the royal families of the provinces that were not loyal to the empire. With this use, Zurin Arctus became enraged and turned against the emperor destroying the Numidium blasting the Mantella into Aetherius. Without his life force, or heart, Zurin became The Underking, an undead entity. Eventually he reacquired his heart and was able to pass on to true death. So here is what I need to know, plus anything else worth mentioning in great detail if you can. Where does Wulfharth come into play. Was Zurin with general Talos in the beginning or was it only Wulfharth. How does the fact that Magnus was inhabiting Zurin come into play? What accounts are more likely than other concerning Zurin's death and how he became The Underking. How is Zurin, Wulfharth, and Tiber all Talos put together if that is true lore or just a theory made in the forms? What happened to Shor, or Lorkhan, as he is basically Wulfharth who is somehow combined together with Zurin later as The Underking? For that matter... is Zurin then Some how Shor? There is much more I could ask but for now that will be enough. You see the contradictions and the big loop holes left behind. I just need answers, Please you lore Masters... Please help me.

We think he might have been a Dragon, a Taesci, an Elf, and possibly a Dreugh.

And I'm serious on all counts.

Though the Dreugh is just me, to be honest.
