The bow was traditionally held by the Chantry of Auri-El, the epicenter of the Snow Elf religion which was based in the secluded Forgotten Vale of Skyrim. When Trinimac defeated Lorkhan and tore out his heart, Auriel fastened it to an arrow and shot it long into the sea, where Red Mountain eventually formed. Legend says that in the Dawn Era, the bow was created by Anuiel for use by Auriel against the forces of Lorkhan during the Ehlnofey wars. It purportedly smells like ash yams, a vegetable native to Morrowind. The bow is twinned with Auriel's Shield and presumably Auriel's Quiver. It was involved in a prophecy recorded in the Elder Scrolls, which foretold that the bow would be used to block out the sun. Once exhausted of this energy, the bow will vanish, abandoning its owner to reappear elsewhere.īecause of its link to Auriel, the bow can manipulate the sun in various ways. Without Auriel's power behind it, however, the bow uses its own store of energy for its power. Occasionally it can be seemingly unenchanted. It can also make the wielder immune to lesser attacks, and is especially devastating when used against the undead. It has the ability to turn any arrow into a "missile of death", although its enchantment effects vary: it has been known to cause magical fire or shock damage, drain an opponent's stamina and magicka reserves, or harness the power of the sun. The bow draws its power from Aetherius itself, channeling it through the sun. Although it takes the form of a modest elven moonstone bow, it is one of the most powerful weapons on Tamriel. Auriel's Bow is an artifact used by the elven god Auriel, an aspect of the Imperial Akatosh, the Dragon God of Time.
