"You want to talk to a Dwemer mystic? Ha! Look, I'm no mystic. Wasn't when I was alive, either. I'm a soldier, kid, plain and simple. Sure, I made weapons for my troops. No secret there. I'm no mystic, though" —Radac Stungnthumz

Radac Stungnthumz was a Dwemer weaponsmith and soldier who inhabited Bamz-Amschend. Although he was merely a warrior and craftsman, he was remembered as a powerful mystic and author of ancient texts. After his death, he remained as a ghost and played a crucial role in the process of reforging and reigniting the Trueflame, a legendary weapon of Nerevar.[1]

History[edit]

Trueflame

In the ancient times, Radac was a soldier and a weaponsmith. He was responsible for crafting tools and weapons for his troops. He lived and worked in the Dwemer city Bamz-Amschend.[2]

As of 3E 427 Radac's name was known among the citizens of Mournhold. According to rumors, he was a powerful Dwemer mystic who once lived in Bamz-Amschend. It was believed that although he was long gone some of his writings could be preserved.[3]

In the same year, the Nerevarine was tasked by Almalexia to reforge the Trueflame as a step to retaking their station and reuniting Morrowind. The sword had been broken into three pieces, one which the goddess provided. Another two were held by King Hlaalu Helseth's champion, Karrod and Torasa Aram. Nerevarine ultimately obtained all the fragments. Once the pieces were recovered, the smith Yagak gro-Gluk was tasked with reconstructing the blade, which was a success. It was the smith who shared the rumor of the mystic with the hero.[1][3]

Seeking to enchant the blade, the Nerevarine then journeyed into Bamz-Amschend, hoping to retrieve Radac's writings. There, they discovered Radac's ghost. Radac revealed that he was not a mystic, but a mere soldier and artisan, but agreed to help nevertheless, as his skills were more than sufficient to help the hero. He applied Pyroil Tar to the blade, which the Nerevarine had retrieved from the depths of Norenen-dur. With his help the blade was finally reforged and reignited.[1]
