Arthosiis was an ancient Dragon Priest of Skyrim who lived around the time of the Dragon War. He was exiled from his home, so he, his devoted followers and the Dragon they served left Skyrim in an exodus to Wrothgar, possibly as a result of losing the war after Alduin's banishment. In Wrothgar the exiles built a grand temple for the dragon before Arthosiis killed himself and his followers sealed themselves in the barrow, which later became known as Exile's Barrow. [1][2]
Due to the Orcs' strict rule about not disturbing the resting places of the dead, the barrow remained untouched until 2E 582 when Narsis Dren delved into the halls in search of a Dragon priest mask.[3] During his search for the mask through the numerous crypts and stone coffins, he accidentally awoke Arthosiis and his draugr guardians, after which he fled to a nearby Orcish village.[4] He returned with the Vestige, who sought to discover why the Draugr had awoken. Within the barrow four bas-reliefs were found that told the tale of the ancient priest. Eventually, the Vestige encountered and defeated Arthosiis, while Narsis Dren stole the priest's mask for himself.[2]
