Hello everyone, I was reading through the lore forum, and a few pages back i read something about psijjics, I was just wondering what exactly they are.

thanks in advance!

That should get you going.

Altmer crazy wizards, masters of alteration/mysticism. They believe in the "old ways" and were the first Sithis Worshipers.

Oh, and they made their island dissapear for a while just cause they felt like it.

They trained Mannimarco and Galerion.

But they did boot out Mannimarco, while Galerion left on good terms in order to open an organization that will teach you magic, as long as you can pay for it. Galerion hated elitism and bureaucracy.

Also, Dyviath Fyr and Sotha Sil were Psijjics, but DF left to study the dwemer's way, and Sotha Sil seemed to have kind of drifted away from them.

fixed it.

True....or did he?

Well, everyone except for Mother Nirn, seeing as how he constructed a machine to measure her fate and then lived inside it for an era or two.

I don't think Sotha is really dead. He's tied in with his city to such an obscene degree. He's like the internet. Destroying one server doesn't crash the entire thing. Almalexia destroyed his original body, which in all likelihood no longer represented the whole of his being. DF said in a letter that we only saw a small portion of the city and that it had many inhabitants.

As further evidence of my theory, when you remove the sigil or master of a pocket universe that universe typically comes crashing down. Look at Akhulakhan when Red Stone was removed... in the game Oblivion there are multiple examples. Each and every Oblivion gate, not to mention Paradise, and Tamriel itself began to dissolve a bit when Uriel was killed, if only briefly.

There appears to have been no collapse of Sotha's realm, either massively or subtly. There was no damage at all. Nothing came crashing down. The machinery still functioned. I personally believe his city was his own personal pocket realm similar to Mankar Camoran's Paradise, and that the fact it didn't dissolve with his "death" is evidence he lives still.

But maybe I've read too much into it.

The Clockwork City wasn't really working as well as it could have been when the Nerevarine visited it. There are clear signs of decay.
So if the city is most of Sotha Sil, it's just a rotting corpse. :/
No small relief indeed.

Interesting thought, even if someone from BEThesda (I can't remember who) has confirmed him dead. After all, who else would've known him better than his sister-god and therefore would've known how to kill him? Or if you prefer why isn't the city crashing down, perhaps Sil wasn't the sigil.

RE the decay: I attributed that to Fabricants acting under Almalexia's command tearing it apart.

You guys realize the Clockwork City is Alma's uterus, right?

The true forbidden city, as it were.

The Clockwork City showed signs of neglect, possibly even a small amount of deliberate damage, but it didn't seem like it was decaying or deteriorating any more than any mundane clockwork labyrinth would. I figure it was just called Sotha Sil like the cities of Almalexia and Vivec were named after Almalexia and Vivec, respectively. But it should be noted that the only way we know of in and out of the city was either by a god's power or by an artifact said to be capable of allowing interplanar travel.

I thought that was just because nobody knows where it is, but that it was actually just a city lost in the jungle of Southern Morrowind.

What kind of an answer is that?
