RD065✭✭✭✭Red Diamond (Chim-El Adabal) is a hymn sung by bards in The Elder Scrolls Online. The Song is about a powerful artifact called the Amulet of Kings, also known as Chim-El Adabal, or simply Red Diamond. The lyrics are also transcribed in the book Chim-El Adabal: A Ballad.[1]17 -

Ok,then is not a girl. I thoght he is talking about a red hair girl.
Makes sense tho,because you must find the amulet of kings in a history quest of the prophet.

he hurled it across Tamriel and the heart was heard to shout
Red Diamond, Red Diamond, the heart and soul of men!
Red Diamond, Red Diamond, protect us till the end
The song, both male and female versions, sing about the Amulet of Kings, which does actually tie into the base game's main questline.Edited by kadochka on 10 April 2020 17:02if I could make another character, their name would be Cries-For-Character-Slots. AKA, I need more.

When you do the main quest, it comes up clearly in dialog from Mannimarco. "Chim El Adabal, the red diamond at the center of the Amulet of Kings, is the most powerful soul gem ever created" from Shadow of Sancre Tor.

Chim-el Adabal, the red diamond, is a soul gem made by Ayleids from the blood of Lorkhan, it is a Stone of the White-Gold Tower. Ironically it is also a symbol of any Empire.Some of the teso inns,there is a bard singing: "red diamond,red diamond..."

Lol. It's a lot more powerful than just a red diamond. It's the same It's a powerful artifact known as the Amulet of Kings. Which Akatosh used to make a pact with Alessia (who became Queen Alessia), a slave girl who rebelled against the brutal tyranny of her Aeylid masters. Freed the human imperials who were sadistically enslaved by the Aeylids in Cyrodil. The Amulet was Akatosh's pact with Nedic descendant Imperials and Alessia was the first human/non Elven emperor of Cyrodil.
It's also the same amulet which the 5 companions (Lyris Titanborn, Varius etc) went on their historic quest to find. And the same amulet that was passed down the Cyrodil Emperor bloodline to later descendants.
Which also makes it the same Amulet of Kings you encountered in single player Skyrim IV: Oblivion. When you helped Martin, the last descendant of the Cyrodil emperor bloodline, transform himself into Akatosh's living vessel in order to save Tamriel from invasion by Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon:

Skyrim happens some 200 years after the events of TES Oblivion.
Essentially, Martin Septim destroys the Amulet of Kings and sacrifices himself to mantle Akatosh in order to defeat Mehrunes Dagon and make the anti-daedra protections permanent. Then the player character finishes the game, possibly becoming Sheogorath in the Shivering Isles DLC if you buy into some of the Skyrim easter eggs from the Sheo quest.
In the next couple decades, the Thalmor rise to power, Chancellor Ocato gets assassinated, the Empire falls into turmoil, and eventually Titus Made makes himself emperor, thus starting the Mede dynasty we meet in Skyrim.0 -

You realize Oblivion is 14 years old now. No surprise there's going to be people around who may not have even heard of it. Particularly younger people.
And now I feel old for having bought it when it launched while on a business trip.

I bought Arena the day it released at the game shop that used to be in the mall - 27 March 1994 (it was a couple days later than real release - Utah was pretty backward back then.... well, still is I guess!) And I followed up with every TES game and the DLCs through all the years after.Edited by Sylvermynx on 10 April 2020 21:190 -

I feel old now to as it was my first Elder Scrolls game. I still remember when I was in Middle School and some guys were talking about Skyrim after it had come out. I told them "Oh, I'm still playing Oblivion." and they gave me the most confused look ever before one of them laughed and was like "Hah, you're still stuck on Oblivion!" ((Classic middle school, right?))
Even when Skyrim was new people had not even heard of Oblivion, or even Morrowind for that matter.PC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK0 -

Its still a little funny to me when people ask lore questions answered by the main plot of the other TES games. Stuff like:
Why can't we be Dragonborn in ESO?
Because then the plot of ESO wouldn't work, as we'd just relight the Dragonfires - from TES Oblivion (ZOS cribbed So Much of ESO's main quest from Oblivion its not even funny.)
What's up with the Dwemer?
Talk to Yagrum Bagarn in TES Morrowind
Now I'm anticipating the inevitable questions about lore from Skyrim. And then I'll really feel old.
