It wasn't long since the situation had gone that bad and the lives of the villagers were threatened. Moreover, it has been 200 years since the appearance of the last set of disasters, the world may have gone calm but this island was never peaceful.
Many of the villagers went missing, even those who made this journey were not safe and most of them fell to the influence of evil. Eventu...
695: Revelation
It has been a while since they smelled some clean fresh air. Jon was worried he would get used to the stench of the Clockwork City but now that it is all over, he has got a lot to think about. For that, he sat on the bulwark of the Brass Fortress watching the blue sky that finally appeared over this world for the first time in a very long while.
First, the Fate of Glymet.
Jon was so busy with everything that happened with Yagrum Bagarn to ...

Losing all your loved ones, being unable to do anything about it, being trapped in the memories of the old you, and struggling through an oblivion of one's self. Laaneth was already in a bad situation after the last events.
But if there was one man in the entire world who would know these feelings way better than her, it is none other than Yagrum Bagarn.
The Last Living Dwarf.

693: Clockwork Rises
< Assimilation… 78% … 79% … 80% >
The Titans Clashed!
The sky roared, the earth shook, and the world split.
And the entirety of Clockwork City was being siphoned into an apocalypse of colors.
The bronze luster of the brass started to fade into dim ashen rust and the machines died down.
Even when Jon was about to desperately attack the Clockwork Dragon one more time, he saw the large creature come apart...
692: Clockwork Fate
Glymet returned with Sotha Sil's version of Keening in a faster time compared to the other two. As he arrived, he was met with the face of the concerned Laaneth.
"You've brought the last tool." She asked.
"That I did." Glymet replied with a faint smile, "I shall now carry the three."
The replicas of Sunder, Keening, and Wraithguard, the three legenda...

After he stepped into the first portal, Glymet found himself in utter darkness. He didn't realize he was done with teleporting yet until it took a little bit too long for any sort of light to come to interact with his eyes.
Glymet didn't cast a spell but he rather held the hilt of his sword and drew it out rapidly. The movem...

The Clockwork City was facing a new nightmare, the Triumph of Mecinar. As the new Clockwork God, the city was rumbling with his malice and the power of the Mechanical Heart.
The population of the Clockwork City was reduced over the years and yet thousands still lived here, many of which were ordinary people and some were the apostles that upheld the laws of Sotha S...

Disoriented, disorganized, and disabled, they weren't able to move freely until they reached a stable. Still, as they started calling for one another, they found that they have become separate on top of all in this Clockwor...

"Damn the accursed fates!" Shouted the Clockwork Titan as it was ordered to retreat by Mecinar.
Glymet was panting and out of Stamina but he couldn't stop now that his companions had returned.
"Swims, you stay here in case the Titan returns. Kota, you follow me." Glymet gave orders and started to retreat as well in order to recover.

The mechanical sound of Ram's inner workings indicated his system accepting the new Memory Crystal.
Ram's head alone can accept more than just one Memory Crystal and other add-ons that may add to his functionalities and personal memories but right now, Jon asked him to display the Memory Crystals that Glymet and Laaneth acquired.
These memories were displayed on a blank sheet of cloth, which Jon spread over one of the assembly line box...

After meeting Apostle Galyn and the rest of the remaining Clockwork Apostles, the group headed outside the Brass Fortress through the secret tunnels.
Glymet didn't seem to be willing to expose Jon's attack plan to the Clockwork Apostles in the city but Laaneth was too excited to not tell them that reinforcements are waiting for them outside the city in order to take Mecinar out. With the same level of excitement, the Clockwork Apostles were very welcoming to t...

The Clockwork City, also known as Sotha Sil, much like its sister cities of Vivec and Almalexia (Mournhold), is but a mere shadow of its former self.
200 years ago, the God-Kings of Morrowind, the Tribunal of Almalexia, Sotha Sil, and Vivec lost their Divinity which they gained through a yearly pilgrimage to the Heart of Lorkhan, deep in the Red Mountain. While they drew Divine power from the heart and achieved the status of Demigods or L...
After the rough arrival at Clockwork City and running first into Jon Dare and his two new companions, Kota and Ram, Glymet and Laaneth were led by the three to a place of hiding where Jon referred to as "his toy house".

In a realm where the sky was covered with layers of smog and blackness and the land was infertile and barren so much so that puddles of oil would join around to create an endless swamp of grease and copper-colored garbage, a Portal opened in the sky for two figures to fall through.
The descent, which would be lethal to many, was negated by the fact that the two of them came into contact with a mound of garbage before tumbling down into the oil swamp ...

According to what Laaneth knows, Alfe Fyr lives not far from the Whispering Mines village, a mining town south of the city of Winterhold where a community of Dunmer folks lives in the shadow of the great Shrine of Azura.

How to kill a person? If it is not the question that will get you a different answer from every person you may come across!
Some would prefer to shoot from distance, others would prefer to sneak and stab from the back, others would use poisons, others would go directly and demand honorable combat with their enemies, others would just go straight into hot-blooded violence.

The Fight with Ancano took a toll not only on the College but on the entire city. A lot of damage happened due to the strange anomalous wisps that started to appear and randomly attack everything.

WWW is a golden rule which must be used after every major incident. Through the WWW protocol, one learns from experience and grows as a person.

Why?
Because in the last fight between everyone that entered this cave, he is the last man standing.

It wasn't just any day of the week, it was payday. In front of Forelhost, Glymet, Swims-at-Night, and Sails-Through-Storms were eyeing the entrance to the ancient tomb.

Everyone around him was either exhausted, lying on the ground, or floating in the sewers… it wasn't pretty. Even Delvin was trying to fix his own nose while clinging to what was left of his dignity.
