The events of this mod take place shortly after the end of the Tribunal MQ, and as such the plot description contains spoilers for it.

When Sotha Sil went into isolation some time after having lost Kagrenac's Tools to the Sixth House, it wasn't merely because he wanted to be anti-social. During the creation of his Clockwork City, he became increasingly obsessed with the possibility of losing his godhood and immortality, and began working tirelessly on a means to sustain his mind within a mechanical medium. What he ultimately created however was a technology of the most dangerous sort-one that could not only allow his brilliant mind to continue on indefinitely, but also allow him unimaginable power.

In fact, Almalexia was not lying when she said Sotha Sil had gone mad and was a threat to all of Morrowind. The events of Tribunal were only the beginning. Soon you find yourself sucked into a world unlike any you've encountered before. A world were reality has absolutely no meaning-because you are no longer in reality-you are in THE GRID.

The story begins, in some fashion at least (and this is subject to change), when you are summoned to Vivec, there you either meet with Vivec himself, or you immediately find that it is under attack by Fabricants. Once you defeat them, you either talk to Vivec again or someone will talk to you and give you a key to a secret room in the Clockwork City, inside you'll find the machine that transports you into The Grid.

The Grid isn't exactly a synthetic world, it's actually a crude visualization of an invisible and usually non-corporeal realm.

Feel free to discuss some ideas or ways to connect this a bit more with established lore. You may notice some similarities between The Grid and the visual style of a certain Disney movie from the 80s. I thought it would be interesting to do something that's so incredibly out there that no one's ever seen it done for Morrowind before-yet in this case it's very connected to established lore, or at least I'd like it to be.

Note also that there are a few extra plot details I'm not revealing as of yet-one because they aren't quite ironed-out yet and two because I'd rather not spoil some of the "plot twists".

Thanks to Psyringe on the GHF forums for bringing up the idea which inspired my own.

Eh-hem. Well, hmm. That first pic was disturbingly accurate, and most of those made me feel scared. *shudders*

I believe the first picture was accurate because its a retexture of the mask. xD
