I see the Dyvith Fyrr Character and how he's portrayed and I say...thats How Sil seemed to be. I see two very similer characters and I start thinking about events and how each character deals with their events and I get to Sils Supposed death and I go....this is not right (not that he dies, or that he can be killed, but like if you add numbers up and you look at the total and you think...this doesnt seem right, you re-add and you get the actual number).

Because two different people can't have similar personalities, right? :rolleyes:

The fact of the matter is, Sil died and there's nothing more to it. He was killed (it is implied) shortly before YOU, the PC, step into the room he is in. Had we gotten there a bit sooner, perhaps we could have been able to save him...but then again, would he want to have been saved?

Seht sought after the unlimited possibilities of life and found them all. Perhaps he found too much, or what he found bothered him so. Whatever the case, he had no other reason to live....and so he ceased to by his own silent admission.

Isn't that more poetic than "OMG HE IZ STILL ALIVE I TELLZ U!"? Some things are better when they're looked at for what they are.

He died just before the Fabricant attack. I wouldn't call that shortly.

He had to have died at some point between when Almalexia gets the mazed band and when the PC enters the room.

Actually what I do is see patterns. I see actions, events and see the irrational or things that dont make sense. Sotha Sil dying to me doesnt make sense. Im not in love with him. I dont care one whit for him or about him, or vivec, or amalaxia.

Sotha Sil's pattern of behaviour was one of inquisitiveness, curiousity and striving for knowledge. All of a sudden they make him out to be a "woe is me, I want to die" depressive. That doesnt fit.

Edit: and that Daedra Pact bothers me too. What was his side of the bargin and why do the princes still (Appear) to adhere to it. I propose that Sil was feeding them heart power in a sort of Tributary system. Thats why he had to recharge so often. Thats why Azura was pushing the Neverine Agenda so much because Dagoth would have severed their supply line.

His death doesnt add up and I question it. Im not the first, I wont be the last. It seems staged. It smells of rotten fishysticks and dammit Im gonna find the answer!

Maybe Sotha sil was just interested what death would be like? I mean he was god-like and highly intelligent, having done so much and learned so much he may have sunk into depressed attitude and got bored of the world the only thing that may have interested him was his death but either way he still didnt care if he would die or wouldnt die

Maybe he wasn't all there. Unless Almexia tied him up to all the wires I remember seeing himself totally rigged up in wires. Maybe he turned into a vegetable state after transfering his power into clockwork city? Maybe thats why he wasn't talking at all.
-but I really don't know.

Vivec retained his chimner half when he lost his immortality, correct? Well, Sotha Sil was also chimner and I remember Fyr as a completely pure Dumner.

Amalaxia is portrayed as fully chimer (appearence wise) Vivec Half and Half, Sotha Dark like the rest of the Dunmer. I realize I aint gonna convert any of you. I retain the right if at any future point in the series that sil turns up alive to say I told you so...until then...Ill be watching!

Sotha always looked like a Chimer to me... His grey flesh tone, I think, can be attributed to death pallor and the fact that he probably hasn't seen the sun for a millennium.

Neither has Fyr...

Sotha Sil's leglessness in that tapestry in interesting. You need them to traverse the Walking Ways.

Well he was a powerful mage..maybe he just..summoned some?

Was there ever a point in any piece of literature in which he was depicted as walking? I'm curious and don't remember so well...
