Tamriel Rebuilt

The WSG resumes normality! Let's get started, shall we?

The next is known to all of us in different ways, and the impossibility of the Dawn lends all of these memories credence. I speak of the Ur-Tower, Adamantine, anon Direnni, and of its creation and purpose.

Off the coast of Hammerfell, within the troubled Iliac Bay resides the isle of *Balfiera. One would see this visage quite clearly, and it's presence is unmistakeable.

While much is spoken of Adamantine in myth, legend and origin, description of its image is vague. In fact, the best I've seen thus far has used the words sleek and silver. Obviously, it a sight of immense glory.

Here's where you folks come in: what does this epic construct look like? Be imaginative as possible, for this, the Ur-Tower, helped dictate reality and creation what is Tamriel. More importantly, have fun!

It's a space ship.

More importantly, it's an underground space ship. No giant silver tower for you. The only thing you can see is the Direnni Tower, which is an unimpressive and unremarkable tower where the Direnni live.

Of course it's a spaceship, I was trying to be mysterious.. That failed, however, as I didn't realize the mundane Direnni iceberg tip that came in '96. But, would angular old Daggerfall really be a model to abide by?

I'm confused- is it a big thing or not?

An underground spaceship? Could you elaborate on that? How much is above ground? How big is it?
[edit] found a thread:

, a circular tower soaring hundreds of feet into the sky. [...] Although it has been much modified and added on to over the years, its core is a smooth cylinder of shining metal; the Tower is believed to extend at least as far beneath the surface as is now visible above

How is that description to be reconciled with the nondiscript Direnni. Is it limitations? Or was the pocketbook wrong?

PS- old models by Upsilon.

I don't know, but most texts referencing the vessel of the gods say it's no longer around.

And if the Direnni tower doesn't exist, where do the Direnni live?

But more importantly, why can't the Direnni have a tower of shining metal? And also, the shining metal part is the core, according to the PGE. But I like shining metal.

And Upsilon's models are designed for a ridiculously large tower. A hundred times beyond impossible.

I know- I was just throwin them out there for inspiration. Hmm, So what are we supposed to be drawing here?

That there, under the Isle of Balfiera, is the official lore image of the Direnni Tower from the official game it featured in. It is of course supposed to go up a mile; it's just technical limitations stunted it there and developers have admited as much. All concepts should be based around jazzying that ugly crap up.

Jazzing up in progress

I want to take a stab at an entry here.

stab away!

I've got a thing. I will post it with an update tomorrow.

Errrr, It will have to be metal on the inside thoguh, it's Anvil styled. And quite derelict. Soemthing that looks interesting to your average adventurer.


I might colour it too, so it may be in 2 parts.


BUT LETS SEE SOME MORE ENTRIES!


EDITY!
