Clockwork Apostles are devout followers of Sotha Sil, the god of clockwork. They live in the Clockwork Basilica in the Brass Fortress of the Clockwork City. Those who want to become apostles must

Possessing rich professional skills in magic, mechanics, or other valuable skills. They will replace part of their limbs with metal to show their devotion to the god of clockwork, and to improve defective flesh. Apostles will replace parts of their bodies with metal.

The body is placed in a shrine. These elites from the Clockwork City often entrust others to complete various trivial tasks, and their ultimate goal is to achieve the "Tamriel Final", that is, "Anufanasi"

(Anuvanna'si)" - the arrival of a new Nirn.

The high-ranking apostles form the city's governing body, the Congress of Calibration. The highest level is Torbillon, and there are also Adjunct, Chancellor, Constable, and Initiate.

Positions such as Lector, Proctor, Provost, Novice, etc. The apostolic legal system is relatively simple because it is rarely used. Violations such as plagiarism are usually punishable by exile. And more serious ones

Crime will use a punishment method called Cognitive Prison to set the prisoners' minds into a recursive loop, trapping them in an inescapable consciousness space. Obviously, the punishment for apostles often comes from the spiritual level

, rather than the body. After all, the flesh and blood bodies of many apostles have been replaced by bodies of brass. Punishing the mechanical body is completely meaningless. But it is said that until the second era, this punishment was only used twelve times.

Barizal's Labyrinth Ring is an artifact of great power created by the former Clockwork Apostle Barizal in the middle of the Second Era. It can teleport multiple people across planes at once. The power of the Labyrinth Ring far exceeds that of Barizal's forged ring.

Its original intention was that it could open rifts in space, and even open the Gate of Annihilation, releasing nightmarish creatures onto the earth. This powerful ring was then cursed and deprived of its power. It was said that only gods could use it but not themselves.

Destroyed. This curse is also believed to have caused Balizal's death, although the powerful mage continues to exist in the present world as an undead lich, sealed with the ring in an abandoned crypt in Mournhold.

Around 2E 582, during the Daedric War, Vivec, the Warrior-Poet Deity, granted Balizal after helping to thwart the conspiracy of Babas (yes, the puppy who could speak human language).

A gem with sacred magic, the mage plans to use these gems to further study teleportation.

In the late Third Age, the cave-in that blocked his tomb was excavated and cleared under the orders of Almalexia, and his tomb was connected to the temple sewers under the Fortress of Mourn. In 3E 427, Almalexia Piney

Revaine retrieved the ring from the catacombs. Although on the surface she claimed that possessing the ring would help her better take care of the people of Morrowind, in fact Amalesia was motivated by selfishness and malice. Due to

Driven mad by the loss of her divinity, Almalexia planned to murder Sotha Sil and Vivec, the three living gods of the Tribunal, as well as Azura's reincarnated spirit Nerevarine. Her first

The first target was Sotha Sil. Although the Clockwork God had announced that he had withdrawn from the world at this time and was living in the Clockwork City he created himself. Almalexia used the labyrinth ring to teleport to the Clockwork City and killed him easily.

Sotha Sil was motionless, lost in thought.

After killing Sotha Sil, Almalexia brought the Clockwork City's mechanical constructs into her City of Mourn to wreak havoc, blaming Sotha Sil for this self-directed and self-acted disaster.

He tricked Nerevarine into going to the Clockwork City to kill Sotha Sil, and he played a series of tricks to kill Sotha Sil. However, Nerevarine, who received Azura's blessing, withstood the siege of a large number of mechanical constructs, making Ah

Almalexia had to take action herself. However, due to the decline of her divinity and the fact that she seemed to have been poisoned by some unknown poison when killing Sotha Sil, Almalexia was eventually defeated by Nerevarine.

Finally Nerevarine returned to Mournhold with the Labyrinth Ring.

"So, Balizal's labyrinth ring was obtained by Nerevaine." Wu Chen sorted out the key points from the librarian Xili's account.

"No, Master." The housekeeper seemed to have thought of something: "Not long ago, Secret Agent Yesha reported that someone in Rift Valley City hired a treasure hunter at a high price to find the maze ring."

"Who is it?" Since Lord Lord has no memory copy appearing out of thin air, it is obvious that he has not experienced this plot (indeed, sir, this is the main plot of a card game "The Elder Scrolls: Legend").

"It's a dark elf wizard named... Messina." The housekeeper always had a good memory.

"Mehina?" Dawn Warhammer Xili blurted out: "It must be the former Clockwork Apostle Mehina. He was expelled from Clockwork City due to his improper research on creating a perfect life form. He hired treasure hunters at a high price to find Barizal.

The labyrinth ring must be preparing to return to the Clockwork City to continue his 'illegitimate research on creating a perfect life form'."

"Tell me about this Messina." The Lord still has no memory copy related to it.

"Mecinar is a dark elf clockwork apostle and Sotha Sil's apprentice. He is extremely talented and can rival all of Sotha Sil's students. He is ambitious

Fanatical research, even privately transforming the bodies of the transformers in the Clockwork City against their will. Sotha Sil knew about Messina's talent but did not stop it. He also claimed that 'restricting him is a crime against wisdom'.

But Mechna did not agree with Sotha Sil's vision of the perfect life form, and he eventually created the Synthetic, a mechanical construct-like creature made of steel and magic. He even went a step further and made the Synthetic

Fusion with the beast. Because of these forbidden experiments that exceeded Sotha Sil's bottom line, Mechna was eventually kicked out of the Clockwork City. If it was really him who was hiding in Rift City and hired treasure hunters at high prices to find the Labyrinth Ring, then

Apparently he is plotting to return to Clockwork City again and continue to create what he considers to be the most ideal life form."

Abomination is a mechanical magical life form created by Sotha Sil's disciple Mechna. It is also an interpretation of the perfect life form created by Sotha Sil. Early abominations were composed of individuals, steel and magic.

It was made to resemble a mechanical construct, but then further merged with the beast. This made Sotha Sil intolerable and expelled Messina from Clockwork City. The biggest difference between master and disciple came from the respect for life. Mechanical Construct

It is a pure magical mechanical creation. After the technology matured, Sotha Sil used it to create magical mechanical prosthetics for the residents of the Clockwork City who were born disabled or acquired disabilities and the Clockwork Apostles. But Messina is studying "corpse transformation"

"Technology". Transform the corpses of dead warriors into evil composite bodies. This obviously touches the restricted area of ​​​​gods and demons. And because of the existence of the mechanical heart in Clockwork City, Wu Chen felt that the former Clockwork Apostle Messina,

It must have used magic from the heart of Lorkhan similar to the "Heart of Stone".

The lord's heart moved: "Read again the letter of help from Temple Priest Melita."

"Okay, Master." The housekeeper immediately fetched the letter of help from the priestess Melita from the study, which was sent by the priestess Afia Velotti.
