History[]
Long ago, the 12th High King of Skyrim was born, High King Havius the 2nd, he ruled Skyrim with a iron fist, and witnessed the building of Morthal and Dawnstar, he was a great king, though he killed many of his own soldiers, for not taking down a small family villiage of rebels, he murdered them, then told his 14 year old son to go wipe out the family, but the boy couldn't do it, and refused, that night, Havius the 2nd was hogged up on Skooma fused with his hatred of his son's decision, so he murdered his only son and wife, who was soon going to be Havius the 3rd, the heir to the High King Throne, but he didn't get to.
When Havius the 2nd died, since he was a disgrace to his providnce, the guard and workers, instead of burying him in his reserved temple with the Former High-Kings, they built a large burial sanctum, where he was buried with other disgraced Nords, where after years, he became a Dragur, and so did the other Nords, and they since then, walked the halls of the Crypts forever.

Inside[]
Once you enter, you will be in a long, Straight hallway leading straight to a iron door. Open it and You will be in a Quite Huge Room, with a Podium with a Table on it, with nothing but a Coin Purse, Flawless Ruby, and Health Potion. Go on into a door in the Back Right side of the room, and you will be in a very small thin hall that goes Right and then Left, to a room with a Alchemy table and Chair, theres a few good ingredients on a shelf nearby, pick them up and go on through a door in the side of the room. It once again, leads to a thin tunnel like hall which turns left. Once you walk out of the hall, your in a Large Room like the last one, though filled with Dragur Caskets, though no Dragur come out, only Skeletons will fight you upon sight, kill them and move on up a round wood ramp leading up around a rower to the top of it, and go across the stone bridge leading to a large wood door witch leads to a hall. When you walk through the hall, hidden Dragur Caskets behind hall ledges pop open and is filled with at least 7 Regular Dragur and a Restless Dragur at the End. Defeat them and walk a bit further, until you come to a strange brown podium in the middle on the hall, pick up the Orange Claw, and move on through the door directly behind the podium. The hall you enter is filled with many Skeletons, guarding at Ancient Nordic Puzzle door of which is where the Claw will, come to use. Defeat the Skeletons, and try the puzzle, it is; Fox, Dragon, Owl, now proceed up the stairs behind the opening door, here you will enter the door into Havius Chasm.

Go through the door down there to the Left of the Room, and you will be in a Fairly Sized hallway (Nordic Puzzle door size), with 4 Rotating Puzzle Pillars, 2 against each wall, and a cage door blocking the way into the next Large Room, rotate them in the right order; (Fox, Eagle, Whale, Fox), and the gate will open, and you will be in a Very large moist room with a small waterfall, and a large pile of a broken down bridge in the middle. Walk up a small hill to the Northeast of you, up on the hill you'll be ambushed by 2 Dragur Scourges, defeat them and go through the Very Large hole in the wall, and slightly turn left into a Very Large hall with lots of Dragur Caskets along the wall, though they dont open, after this you'll come to a Door at the end of it, open it and you'll be Halls of Catacombs. These Catcombs are twisty and windy halls. After some Lefts and Rights, you'll come to the first Dragur climb off the wall, fight him, the noise will attract a dozen more Dragur, which are all Restless with 1 Scourge. Do some more twisting and you'll come to a door thats opens into some Burial Crypts. There are alot of enemies in here so get packed on health potions and food and get comfy and ready for action. Head down the hall, you'll almost immediatley be ambushed by 3 Dragur Wights, which will awaken A Dragur Scourge and a Restless Dragur, will them, and loot the Dragur Scorge for the key to the next door up the steps.

After You have defeated everything else, the Middle Casket shoots open, and "The Dragur of King Havius 2nd walks out", powerful as can be.
