Age of the Ghostfence[edit]

This was first brought up on MW talk a few years ago, but I would like to bring it up again, as it has recently been part of a discussion on the ESO Forums. The page suggests that "After the Battle at Red Mountain, Dagoth Ur remained inside the Ghostfence", but I don't think the Ghostfence was built for another few thousand years, after Dagoth Ur reawakened in 2E 882.

According to Vivec, "In the past, the Tribunal made seasonal campaigns to Red Mountain. We slew Dagoth Ur and his kin, though the Heart always revived them in time. Later, when we realized we couldn't destroy them, we created the Ghostfence to contain the threat. These solutions were effective until Dagoth Ur ambushed us and captured Sunder and Keening. Since that time, our fortunes have waned as his increased."

According to Dagoth Ur's Plans, 2E 882-3E 417: Intermittent Tribunal campaigns assault Red Mountain.

The Ghostfence wasn't built until there had been numerous failed campaigns. The campaigns don't start until Dagoth Ur reawakens in 2E 882 and ambushes the Tribunal during their ritual, so Ghostfence must have been built some time after 2E 882. --Enodoc (talk) 08:40, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Yep. Ancestors and the Dunmer says the Fence was made to contain the Blight; there's no way it was around at the Battle of Red Mountain. Corprus appears in ESO so Dagoth Ur's return has been made a little fuzzy, but for now 882 seems like a reasonable date to mention. —Legoless (talk) 11:13, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
