Background[]
- Main article: Sotha Sil#History
Lord Sotha Sil the Magus is a Pillar of the Blessed Tribunal, the three Immortal God-Kings of Morrowind, and the patron of Artificers and Wizards. Sotha Sil was the mightiest wizard and most wise counselor of the First Council. One of the original companions of Nerevar as well as the teacher of Nerevar and Vivec, he is the Light of Knowledge and the Inspiration of Craft and Sorcery. He lives in his Clockwork City with mechanical devices of his making, and is rarely seen in Morrowind. While Vivec and Almalexia have traditionally been fairly visible to their followers, the scholar Sotha Sil has been more reclusive. Little else is known about this reclusive god. Vivec has not heard from him since their defeat at Red Mountain, scarcely ever hearing from him before. Vivec notes that he is completely self-absorbed like himself, and doubts he will notice his divine powers diminish without the Heart, just as he barely notices others most of the time. He is fascinated by the hidden world and its mysteries, he lives in his own way, as he always has. King Helseth says no one has seen the Tinkerer in centuries.
In 3E 417, Sotha Sil, along with his fellow Tribunal Almalexia and Vivec, traveled to Red Mountain to enact their annual godhood ritual on the Heart of Lorkhan; however, Dagoth Ur and his Ash Vampires attacked the Tribunal, stealing Keening and Sunder from them.[2]
Sotha Sil later retired to his Clockwork City, and cut off what little interaction with the outside world he had left. When the Nerevarine destroyed the heart in 3E 427, Vivec noted that he doubted Sotha Sil even noticed the loss of his godhood due to his obsession with his city.
Later, Almalexia sent the Nerevarine to Clockwork City to kill Sotha Sil. However, Sotha Sil was already found dead, and Almalexia traveled to them revealing her true plan to have the Nerevarine killed by Clockwork City's defenses on their way to Sil, and that she killed Sotha Sil out of her insanity.
Interactions[]
The Mad God[]
Following the release of the Fabricants and other creatures on Mournhold, Almalexia sends you to kill Sotha Sil in Clockwork City, out of the belief he is behind the attack. After defeating his Imperfect bodyguards, Sotha Sil can be found in his dome. However, after interacting with him, the following message appears:
You have found the body of Sotha Sil, his lifeless husk dangling from a contraption of his own making. Someone has obviously been here before you.
After walking back to the entrance, Almalexia will appear, informing you of her true plans. She will say that she wanted the Nerevarine to become a martyr in her name, who died trying to defeat the mad god Sotha Sil. She reveals that she was the one who killed Sotha Sil, and needs to kill you in order to keep her dark plan a secret.
