They said that until recently, the Armigers could keep some paths within Red Mountain clear.

Don't even go there.


And yes, the Ghostfence seems to be the only project that the Tribunal keep running with sheer godly mind-brawn and nothing else.

Hehe.

The concept art for the Ghostfence look so much better than in the game.

From Plan to defeat Dagoth Ur:
For the past twenty years the Tribunal have tried unsuccessfully to execute this plan. However, we failed because we were required to stage an assault and simultaneously maintain the Ghostfence to prevent the threatened large-scale breakout of Dagoth Ur's blighted hosts. With the Nerevarine leading the assault, and the Tribunal free to devote their full energies to maintaining the Ghostfence, this plan has a greater chance of success. Unfortunately, however, the loss of the artifacts Sunder and Keening, and the recent increase in Dagoth Ur's strength, poses new problems for the execution of the plan.

Because of Tribunal's ability to be done before the Morrowind main quest we have to assume Sil was dead and Almalexia has gone to bananas to lend her faiding power to it. So yes it's likely it was just Vivec at that point.

What a killer.

No matter. We already know that he was doomed to find out about the Ghostgate, anon, the Dreamsleeve.

(Which, for some reason, I imagine looking like the Ghostgate for some odd...odd reason.)

I've always imagined that it looks http://www.bathsheba.com/crystal/calabiyau/.

Or, better yet, like http://www.bathsheba.com/math/gyroid/gyroid_hex.jpg

Eh, you'd have to ditch the glass and go for the whole Astral look, though.

I just imagine it as this HUUUUUGE circled, enclosed area outside of the Mundus, outside of the spokes and the wheel, but not too far form it. Tall, massive pinnacling Velothian style towers, thousands...millions of them, each one decorated with all the faces of emotion one would serve though their life...and in between the towers, the Ghostegate 'forcefield' thing. You know...that color. It's just entrancing, really. And aside from all of the silently humming souls and the towers and the color between them, is just pitch white. Going on, extending forever upon itself.

I don't really see it that way as the expansions were meant to be played after the vanilla MQ. Doing them out of order makes it confusing when it comes to continuity. For instance, go and do Tribunal before you do anything else and you will still be referred to as the Nerevarine (by some, including Almalexia), without having to do any vanilla quests. Do the quests in order, as they were meant to be in order to keep continuity.

Therefore I assume, rightly so, that at least Vivec and Almalexia are sustaining the gate. Who knows how long Sotha Sil has been dead? It could have been a decade, or more. So I think it is safe to assume he has nothing to do with maintaining the Ghostfence at the time of the MW MQ.

Considering Ayem's response to losing godhood, I'd assume that she wasn't thinking about Ghostgate and it's upkeep.
