Tamrielic Root System rewrite

I've undone the rewrite of this section for two reasons. Firstly, the revised premise (that the tunnels appeared beneath Solitude because of the events of The Mind of Madness) is speculation unsupported by the provided reference. Maybe I'm missing something here but there's nothing in-game that directly ties the vanilla quest to the CC sewers. Solitude has long been associated with madness as a result of Pelagius. Because of this, I have restored the slightly more in-depth description of Thoron's experiments, which are the actual cause of the tunnels' appearance. "The sword is planted in the earth. Chaos screams, bleeds. Through its heart, roots are nourished."

Secondly, I don't see any benefit to describing the elytra and flame stalk presence in the tunnels. That is far too granular and belongs on a place page, not here. The article doesn't even go into that much detail for the ecology of the Isles themselves. The original description of the tunnels being maintained by gnarl-like spriggans is more than sufficient. —⁠Legoless (talk) 22:04, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
