Circa 1E470, a group of Altmer from Lillandril discovered a magical flask. Upon learning that the flask had the marvelous property of being able to absorb magic of any persuasion, the founders realized their importance in the world and spread word of their discovery. They performed various favors for the Barons of Summerset Isle, keeping the magical powers of the Bosmer of Valenwood in check. Eventually the founders worried that Bosmeri assassins may kill them and take the flask, so they left the Summerset Isle for the City of Daggerfall, in High Rock, where they hoped to buy their safety from the Clan Direnni, to live in secret protected by the Direnni. While sailing from Summerset to High Rock they were shipwrecked on the coral reef along the southern coast of what is now Stros M'Kai. The founders were killed and the Flask of Lillandril was lost. At the end of the Second Era, Cyrus the Redguard recovered the flask and used it to release his sister Iszara from N'Gasta the Sload Necromancer and Daedra Prince Clavicus Vile. In the end, Clavicus Vile took the flask.
