After recording her adventures in her diary, Casseth proceeded to work on her design for possibly the biggest contraption she'd ever dreamt up. The design looked almost like a pot dish, with a dome lid, which came up to a point; it looked kind of like a flying saucer except it wasn't intended to fly.

On the inside, four, large, steel wheels would allow the vehicle to move but it wasn't a vehicle, not like a carriage, it was far too big for that. It was more like a moving fort, designed to house dozens of soldiers, archers, mages, all of which would be well protected and could dish out a lot of damage in all directions.

This thing could break through any stonewall, whether you were dealing with ten soldiers or ten thousand, the fort-like vehicle was seemingly impenetrable and thus, it would be a devastating force on the battlefield. Not only that but armies could quite easily use it for cover as well.

The armour plating was tilted at a 45 degree angle, increasing the amount of protective material that could protect those inside from archers, magic or even a balusters or an even more powerful projectile. Casseth was sure that this would result in any projectile deflecting off of the vehicle, instead of taking the damage head on.

It was to be operated, using hand cranks, which would be incredibly easy to turn, of course the size, weight and the durability would result in slow movement speed but considering that this thing was essentially a small fort on wheels, that wasn't a problem that Casseth felt that she needed to address. Thought the Dunmer was always eager to build her designs to be the best of their ability, she deliberately added several flaws, in case this design fell into the hands of the Thalmor or even the cultists. Of course, most wouldn't know what to do with it as she didn't use orthodox designs to create such contraptions, due to the fact that she was self taught but she still wouldn't risk such a thing falling into the wrong hands.

Her design was sabotaged, if anyone tried to build it, it wouldn't move at all, making sure that she was the only person on earth who could successfully build this thing, with or without the plans.

Still, it felt like a pipe dream, the amount of steel needed would be extortionate, even for the Fighter's Guild. Only the legion or the stormcloaks could build such a design, still it was a great 'what if' project, to distract herself with. She continued to work on it, adding more and more to the project, waiting for further instructions...
