Location Messages[edit]
- Clockwork City - The Clockwork City, also known as Sotha Sil, after its creator, is said to be a great and intricate mechanism that duplicates the mythic structures of Nirn in metallic miniature. Only Seht himself knows its true purpose.
- Asylum Sanctorium - " [sic]Sotha Sil is rumored to have been the one to reverse engineer the Soul Gems in order to create Black Soul Gems. When he began this process, he used three Dunmer Saints for experiments to see if he could grant everlasting life. Three mechanical creations were made to house the souls of these saints.
- The Brass Fortress - The chief urban structure of Sotha Sil is known to its strange inhabitants as the Brass Fortress. Its brazen portals house many secrets, some of them dangerous to know.
- Clockwork City Vaults - "Vehk asked me, 'Isn't hiding a vault within another vault just recursive and redundant? Shouldn't a single vault be enough?'" Sotha Sil's neck whirred as he shook his head ruefully. "Poets!"
- Cogitum Centralis - "For the Mainspring Ever-Wound is the Father of Curiosity, and curiosity is the joyful destroyer. Only in sundering can things be made whole. Only the disassembled engine can be scrubbed and made clean. So smash the old machines! Topple your mind's idols! And from the wreckage, assemble new truths."
- Evergloam - The dark Oblivion realm of the Daedric Prince Nocturnal is known to consist of a primary plane and a number of sub-realms, but these are thought to be constantly shifting, and different mortals may perceive them in different ways.
- Everwound Wellspring - "The Wellspring? Just one more experiment replicating an aspect of Nirn Above nestled deep within an experiment replicating aspects of Nirn Above. You know, the usual." -Overheard in Slag Town
- Halls of Regulation - The climate and weather systems of the Clockwork City may be simplified simulations of the weather of Nirn Above, but even simplified, these systems and the mechanisms that drive them are enormously complex.
- Incarnatorium - There is some debate among the citizens of the Brass Fortress as to what term should apply to the creation of a fabricant. Is it built? Forged? Born? Only the Clockwork God knows for certain.
- Mechanical Fundament - Layers of layers, wheels within wheels: the Clockwork City has many levels, each with specific functions, often including adaptive instrumentality that enables the machinery to react to change.
- Mnemonic Planisphere - "Ordinary people keep a journal. Sotha Sil decided to store his memories as star-data in an artificial astronomical matrix keyed to his philosophical musings on the structure of the Aurbis. Of course." -Almalexia
- The Orbservatory Prior - Sotha Sil's designation of this mountaintop laboratory as the "Orbservatory Prior" clearly indicates that the site was an experimental or test version of what he had in mind-though whether he ever built an "Orbservatory Final" is unknown.
- Slag Town Outlaws Refuge - Of course Sotha Sil has an Outlaws Refuge: even in the traditions of its criminals, the Clockwork City mimics the structures of greater Nirn above.
- The Serviflume - Beneath the floors and behind the walls of the Clockwork City are labyrinths of maintenance tunnels and access ducts, many of them quite narrow, as they're made for the use of small fabricants and constructs.
- The Shadow Cleft - "The Withering Hermit says the Shadow Cleft is just a gloom-dusk echo cast by Nocturnal's Evergloam," whispered the voice from the darkness. "But her wandering star fell long, long ago."
- Ventral Terminus - "When a completed work functions in a manner other than that for which it was designed, that merely means it has a different purpose than intended. Possibly, even, a greater purpose." -Sotha Sil
