Divayth Fyr, Arch Magister of House Telvanni

You have come to me, the great arch Mage of House Telvanni. I am the correct person to come to for advice.

[fyr-himself]

(A frog hops in. They have a faintly glowing pearl attached to their back.)

(A voice fills the room.)

Mannimarco has told me that you may be of assistance in getting to Fargrave.

Mara, Goddess of Love

@benevolence-of-mara

Divayth picked the pearl off the frog then looked to the frog. "Can you take me to her so we may talk strategy?"

[lord-of-brutality]

( Continuing from here to shorten the thread )

Not smart. It could be Bal pretending to be Sorayne, or you'd fail and merely inform Bal of your involvement.

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

Alright then.

But what exactly is that plan of yours?

@fyr-himself

[fyr-himself]

"I am curious as well. Hopefully it does not take long to enact or the Prince of Torture will, well, make them suffer." He said bluntly

@lord-of-brutality

[lord-of-brutality]

I know plenty about Molag Bal's torment, Fyr. They no doubt already are. Especially Talos, he hates Dragonborn. They're the spawn of Akatosh, whom he despises, after all.

I am hesitant to convey the plan. Not until I know if it will succeed. I don't want the chance of Molag Bal hearing about it to increase.

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

(Mara sighs.)

Well, then we can only hope that this plan works and soon.

Because the worst case scenario would mean the destruction of both your and Bal's body. It would force both of you back but it would also leave you to reform.

@fyr-himself

[fyr-himself]

"Or his destruction of your faith and the empowerment of his own thus expanding the prevelence of Slavery, Torture and the like. I may follow the Reclamations but I do not like the House of Troubles. In the slightest. The longer this takes the more power the house of troubles gets. And Morrowind is just now getting stable again."

@lord-of-brutality

[lord-of-brutality]

Believe me, the last thing I want is for Morrowind to suffer even further than it already has. I may be a Man-centered god, but I don't lack empathy. Whatever fallout this has, I'll make sure to personally handle if I must.

In the meantime, I can only ask for you guys to trust me. I can always come back with you to Aetherius, Mara, and at least prove that I am okay to my other siblings, if you'd like.

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

I don't know how many still are there. Probably just Arkay and Julianos are still around. Zenithar left to deal with something. I haven't heard from Kynareth or Dibella.

[lord-of-brutality]

... At least Julianos. I'd imagine he might be somewhat worried, I hope...

[benevolence-of-mara]

Going by the fact that he keeps interacting with Bal, yes.

Arkay is... blissfully unaware of everything.

If you want to return, I can hide you on Zenithar. Since I am currently on vacation, it might look suspicious if I returned to MHARA right now.

[lord-of-brutality]

I think I'd prefer to stay with Julianos. Zenithar no doubt has plenty going on.

[fyr-himself]

"Maybe I or someone less... Mannimarco should be a contact point? I have a few suggestions that way suspicion isnt raised to Bal."

@benevolence-of-mara

[lord-of-brutality]

Your suggestions being?

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[fyr-himself]

"People untied to the aedra and understand being gods. Either Sotha Sil or Voryn Dagoth. Voryn in particular has a strong hate for the House of Troubles and is trying to prove himself through acts of redemption after all the trouble he caused in the second and third era. Better yet he can contact through dreams and be contacted in dreams."

@benevolence-of-mara

[benevolence-of-mara]

That would, however, involve even more people. And especially if they have loved ones that could be threatened, their help could become compromised.

@lord-of-brutality

[lord-of-brutality]

Voryn has much going on. However, Sotha Sil is guarded by a very similar enchantment on this City as Artaeum is, which the Daedra had to try very hard to get into. He would be the smart choice. Not to mention, you seem to trust him in particular, Fyr. If he were to become compromised, you would know him best to pick up on it.

( @fyr-himself )

[fyr-himself]

"This is true. Though you mentioned his city, now I am concerned for multiple copies of the Clockwork City existing..." he stroked his goatee a moment then sighed. "Either way, tap Voryn for a last resort. The Dreamer god can be useful for undetectable messages. I trust your judgement. Do you want me to contact Seht or Voryn?"

@benevolence-of-mara

[lord-of-brutality]

Seht is the best option here. Voryn deserves some peace after the year he has had. Very much last resort, as you said. While you do that, I can return with Mara.

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

To Aetherius first, then?

The only other option would be to stuff you in Nightcaller Temple and I am unsure how much Erandur will actually believe about all that.

@fyr-himself

[fyr-himself]

"Or, my tower which is in a pocket realm and I am capable of moving at a moments notice?"

@lord-of-brutality

[lord-of-brutality]

No, Sheogorath needs to have easy access to me. Aetherius is fine.

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[fyr-himself]

"Very well. Do be careful he was nosing around to find the identity of Mannimarco's daughter to use her as bait. the lich was quite... ranty about that."

@benevolence-of-mara

[lord-of-brutality]

No, he was going to use me as bait. Bal is an expert shapeshifter, which means now so am I. Hopefully whatever Sheogorath managed to get will be enough.

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

(Mara opens a portal to Aetherius. Strangely enough, the trees seem to be giant on the other side.)

Alright, that should be it. Do we bring Jeff as well?

@fyr-himself

[lord-of-brutality]

[Bal glanced over at Jeff, who bolted through the portal without hesitation.]

Yes. Go ahead, ladies first. Be safe, Fyr.

( @fyr-himself )

[fyr-himself]

"You know how to find me if you need my skills. I need to go check on Yagrim." with a twist of his fingers, space warped around him and he disappeared in a cascade of sparks.

Not smart. It could be Bal pretending to be Sorayne, or you'd fail and merely inform Bal of your involvement.

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

Alright then.

But what exactly is that plan of yours?

@fyr-himself

[fyr-himself]

"I am curious as well. Hopefully it does not take long to enact or the Prince of Torture will, well, make them suffer." He said bluntly

@lord-of-brutality

[lord-of-brutality]

I know plenty about Molag Bal's torment, Fyr. They no doubt already are. Especially Talos, he hates Dragonborn. They're the spawn of Akatosh, whom he despises, after all.

I am hesitant to convey the plan. Not until I know if it will succeed. I don't want the chance of Molag Bal hearing about it to increase.

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

(Mara sighs.)

Well, then we can only hope that this plan works and soon.

Because the worst case scenario would mean the destruction of both your and Bal's body. It would force both of you back but it would also leave you to reform.

@fyr-himself

[fyr-himself]

"Or his destruction of your faith and the empowerment of his own thus expanding the prevelence of Slavery, Torture and the like. I may follow the Reclamations but I do not like the House of Troubles. In the slightest. The longer this takes the more power the house of troubles gets. And Morrowind is just now getting stable again."

@lord-of-brutality

[fyr-himself]

(A frog hops in. They have a faintly glowing pearl attached to their back.)

(A voice fills the room.)

Mannimarco has told me that you may be of assistance in getting to Fargrave.

Mara, Goddess of Love

@benevolence-of-mara

Divayth picked the pearl off the frog then looked to the frog. "Can you take me to her so we may talk strategy?"

[lord-of-brutality]

( Continuing from here to shorten the thread )

@benevolence-of-mara

Divayth picked the pearl off the frog then looked to the frog. "Can you take me to her so we may talk strategy?"

[benevolence-of-mara]

(Rebit makes frog noises.)

I am unsure if Aetherius is a good place to talk right now. We have been compromised, as I am sure Mannimarco has mentioned.

(Mara's voice says.)

[fyr-himself]

"Then why not come to me, my tower is within a pocket realm at the moment and should be safe."

[benevolence-of-mara]

(There is a moment of static.)

I apologise for the sudden intrusion.

(Mara is now standing behind him as she dusts of her robes.)

But it appears it is now only I who is available from my family.

[fyr-himself]

Divayth turned, completely unphased by an Aedric god in his presence. "I assume things have gotten worse for the Aedra since Mannimarco and Vanus spoke to me. Such things can be expected of the House of Troubles. You require a way into Fargrave. Do you need anything else or tell me things from your perspective?"

[benevolence-of-mara]

Ideally, I would also need a way out of Fargrave.

But yes. All my brothers have the self-preservation of a boulder tumbling down a hill. And so, one after the other, they got captured. The only exception would be Zenithar, but he is unavailable for now.

[fyr-himself]

"A way out can be achieved. I have hidden a path through Clockwork City which I obtained and kept hidden in a non functioning form After the Nerevarine killed Almalexia. I use it to house secret paths through several daedric realms and it remains here hidden in my tower. Does this suffice?"

[benevolence-of-mara]

I believe so, yes.

Thank you, Divayth Fyr.

[fyr-himself]

"Of course, Soryane is a friend of mine after all. I am more than happy to help. You let me know when you are ready."

[benevolence-of-mara]

I'm ready.

[fyr-himself]

"Very well, follow me and we will go to Fargrave. Do we know who is lost there?" he turned and lead her up a spiral staircase.

[benevolence-of-mara]

I believe one of my brothers is lost there.

[fyr-himself]

Divayth stopped in front of a door and waved a hand, unlocking the complex Dwemer mechanism with magic then lead her inside to a stone platform in the center of the room with what looked like a replica Dwemer city. "Just so you know, once one is rescued we must get to the other two fast before Molag Bal can readjust his tactics."

[benevolence-of-mara]

I'm aware.

I'm ready to give the order to cap THENDR's energy at a moment's notice.

[fyr-himself]

"Then let's go save a god." He placed his hand on the dome over the model and shrunk down, appearing within the now quiet and despaired Clockwork City.

[benevolence-of-mara]

Nobody lives here anymore, do they?

(She looks around the desolate place.)

[fyr-himself]

"No, it died when our version of Sotha Sil died. I am thinking of gifting it to another."

[benevolence-of-mara]

I see.

And from here we will reach Fargrave?

[fyr-himself]

"Yes, I put the portal this way." He lead her down the path to a large building at the other end of the city and brought her to a back room down an elevator then opened a door showing a portal.

[benevolence-of-mara]

Oh, that's... out of the way.

Thank you again.

[fyr-himself]

"Yes, the best place to keep it hidden. Do you wish me to come with you or wait here with your frog so I know when to re open the other side for you?"

[benevolence-of-mara]

I believe it would be good not to go in alone. Rebit can return to Zenithar.

(The frog disappears.)

[fyr-himself]

"Then let's go." He stepped through the portal first and waited for Mara on the other side.

[benevolence-of-mara]

(Mara follows after him, looking around.)

Will we have to be quiet?

[fyr-himself]

"Preferable. Even better if you can disguise yourself as a dremora." with a snap of his fingers he changed to look like a Dremora from Coldharbor.

[benevolence-of-mara]

I don't believe that I ever tried before.

[fyr-himself]

"If you wish me to I can use a bit of illusion magic to mask you. After all, you can be quite noticeable."

[benevolence-of-mara]

Very well.

(She holds still for the spell.)

[fyr-himself]

Divayth held out his hands and traced an arc of magicka in the air and cast an illusion spell on the god making her look like a female dremora. "There, hopefully it is enough to hide us at a glance but if anyone looks deeper, they are going to know who you and I are."

[benevolence-of-mara]

Then we shall better make sure that they won't look deeper.

[fyr-himself]

"Then we move quickly. Do you have a way to locate your brother?"

[benevolence-of-mara]

(She raises her hand and conjures a spark.)

This will give off a pulse that resonates with the Aedric soul. It shouldn't be detectable by Daedra.

[fyr-himself]

Divayth just waited patiently for her to locate who they were looking for so they can continue on.

[benevolence-of-mara]

(The spark lifts up and pulses, its color matching itself to its surroundings and slowly drifted off one direction. Mara follows.)

@lord-of-brutality

[jeff-the-daedra]

[Several minutes later, they would see a Daedric Titan crawling between the ruins of Fargrave, wings tucked tight against his body, sniffing at the ground as if searching for something. He turned and looked directly at Mara and Divayth, who currently looked like Dremora from Coldharbour. Jeff, with a doubt, but he looked different now, with his scaly skin seeming like a warm golden-brown instead of black, and he was much larger now as well.]

[It was probably pretty funny to see a fully grown winged demon puff up like a threatened kitten, but he shrieked and booked it in another direction immediately afterwards. It would be a shame to lose him, especially since he would probably warn Stendarr that Molag Bal's daedra had found them, unaware that they were friendly, which would probably make it far harder to find the Aedra.]

( @fyr-himself )

[benevolence-of-mara]

Oh dear!

We need to run after him! Who knows who he will try to warn!

(She runs after the Daedra, believing it to be an enemy.)

@fyr-himself

[fyr-himself]

Divayth sighed. "I am too old to run with far too much magic at my disposal." he, with a snap of his fingers vanished then reappeared in front of Jeff. "I suggest you look at us a bit deeper."

@jeff-the-daedra

[jeff-the-daedra]

[Jeff skidded to a stop, flapping his wings to regain his balance. At first, he looked bewildered, but then he peered closer, sniffing at Divayth curiously.]

You... You are that grumpy elf-mortal with the Psijics! Yes, I know you. What are you doing here?

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

(Mara nearly crashes into the Daedra as she comes to a stop.)

We are looking for Stendarr. And whoever else may have been imprisoned here.

@fyr-himself

[jeff-the-daedra]

Imprisoned? Stendarr isn't imprisoned. I don't know anyone who is, not here. This is a neutral ground.

( @fyr-himself )

[fyr-himself]

"Well Molag Ball is masquerading as Stendarr. How do you explain that?"

@benevolence-of-mara

[jeff-the-daedra]

Oh, that. I can show you why that is. Come on, follow me!

[Jeff trots happily past them, wings fluttering.] Mister Stendarr's right this way.

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

(Mara shrugs and follows.)

@fyr-himself

[fyr-himself]

Divayth walks with Mara.

@jeff-the-daedra

[jeff-the-daedra]

[Jeff continues leading them, humming some old tavern bard song as he went. He then came to a stop, glancing around.] He was right... Stendarr! Stendarr, where are you?

[lord-of-brutality]

[A large figure would land behind Mara and Divayth. Molag Bal, it seemed, but he too looked different like Jeff did—golden-brown hide, with golden eyes, instead of the dreary gray and black color scheme.]

Jeff. And who are these visitors?

[Stendarr's voice.]

( @benevolence-of-mara @fyr-himself )

[benevolence-of-mara]

(Mara blinks in disbelief. She is aware that some sort of exchange must have taken place but...)

Sten?

@fyr-himself

[fyr-himself]

"Oh now this is a problem I would love to solve." His mind is going wild with possibilities how to transfer a daedra and an aedra between bodies.

@lord-of-brutality

[lord-of-brutality]

[Stendarr hesitates.] Mara? And... That voice can only belong to Divayth. You're here? What's going on, did Bal do something to Aetherius?

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

Not yet.

But he has kidnapped both Talos and Sorayne.

We have come looking for you.

@fyr-himself

[fyr-himself]

"Believe it or not Mannimarco initiated this rescue. He of course gloated how he noticed something was off with "you" and went to Talos and Mara."

@lord-of-brutality

[lord-of-brutality]

[Stendarr's bladed tail lashed in agitation and fury.] He kidnapped my brother? And Sorayne, of all mortals... That fucking bastard. I should gut him. Do you know where they are?

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

Cedar has reported that he put them in pocket dimensions of THENDR. They have not found a way inside yet, though.

@fyr-himself

[fyr-himself]

"But once you are in control again we will need to act quick because the God of Schemes does not like his schemes unraveling."

@lord-of-brutality

[benevolence-of-mara]

He must hate his life, then.

@lord-of-brutality

[lord-of-brutality]

[Stendarr hummed.] I have a plan going already to regain my body and divine spheres. You needn't worry about that. Not that I may not need support if it comes down to it—nor do I want to face Molag Bal alone—but there is a plan in the works.

( @fyr-himself )

[fyr-himself]

"The problem is, he has Talos and Sorayne."

@benevolence-of-mara

[lord-of-brutality]

As Mara just told me, yes. But we can't get them back until I have my domain back. My pocket realms are very difficult to open if I'm not the one opening them.

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

This may be so but there is also the matter of your most devoted followers.

Cedarcan only do so much without being detected. He can choke out the energy of THENDR but that will cause other problems.

@fyr-himself

[lord-of-brutality]

Yes, Mara, I have considered that as well. Not Cedar's part or cutting off THENDR's energy, but I know damn well what he's doing to the souls of my followers. Once again, something I cannot address directly until my body is my own again. Anything else?

( @fyr-himself )

[fyr-himself]

"No. But I will be attempting contact with Sorayne to make sure she is fine."

@benevolence-of-mara

[fyr-himself]

(A frog hops in. They have a faintly glowing pearl attached to their back.)

(A voice fills the room.)

Mannimarco has told me that you may be of assistance in getting to Fargrave.

[benevolence-of-mara]

Then we shall better make sure that they won't look deeper.

[fyr-himself]

"Then we move quickly. Do you have a way to locate your brother?"

[benevolence-of-mara]

(She raises her hand and conjures a spark.)

This will give off a pulse that resonates with the Aedric soul. It shouldn't be detectable by Daedra.

[fyr-himself]

Divayth just waited patiently for her to locate who they were looking for so they can continue on.

[benevolence-of-mara]

(The spark lifts up and pulses, its color matching itself to its surroundings and slowly drifted off one direction. Mara follows.)

@lord-of-brutality

[jeff-the-daedra]

[Several minutes later, they would see a Daedric Titan crawling between the ruins of Fargrave, wings tucked tight against his body, sniffing at the ground as if searching for something. He turned and looked directly at Mara and Divayth, who currently looked like Dremora from Coldharbour. Jeff, with a doubt, but he looked different now, with his scaly skin seeming like a warm golden-brown instead of black, and he was much larger now as well.]

[It was probably pretty funny to see a fully grown winged demon puff up like a threatened kitten, but he shrieked and booked it in another direction immediately afterwards. It would be a shame to lose him, especially since he would probably warn Stendarr that Molag Bal's daedra had found them, unaware that they were friendly, which would probably make it far harder to find the Aedra.]

( @fyr-himself )

[benevolence-of-mara]

Oh dear!

We need to run after him! Who knows who he will try to warn!

(She runs after the Daedra, believing it to be an enemy.)

@fyr-himself

[fyr-himself]

Divayth sighed. "I am too old to run with far too much magic at my disposal." he, with a snap of his fingers vanished then reappeared in front of Jeff. "I suggest you look at us a bit deeper."

@jeff-the-daedra

[jeff-the-daedra]

[Jeff skidded to a stop, flapping his wings to regain his balance. At first, he looked bewildered, but then he peered closer, sniffing at Divayth curiously.]

You... You are that grumpy elf-mortal with the Psijics! Yes, I know you. What are you doing here?

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

(Mara nearly crashes into the Daedra as she comes to a stop.)

We are looking for Stendarr. And whoever else may have been imprisoned here.

@fyr-himself

[jeff-the-daedra]

Imprisoned? Stendarr isn't imprisoned. I don't know anyone who is, not here. This is a neutral ground.

( @fyr-himself )

[fyr-himself]

"Well Molag Ball is masquerading as Stendarr. How do you explain that?"

@benevolence-of-mara

[jeff-the-daedra]

Oh, that. I can show you why that is. Come on, follow me!

[Jeff trots happily past them, wings fluttering.] Mister Stendarr's right this way.

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

(Mara shrugs and follows.)

@fyr-himself

[fyr-himself]

Divayth walks with Mara.

@jeff-the-daedra

[jeff-the-daedra]

[Jeff continues leading them, humming some old tavern bard song as he went. He then came to a stop, glancing around.] He was right... Stendarr! Stendarr, where are you?

[lord-of-brutality]

[A large figure would land behind Mara and Divayth. Molag Bal, it seemed, but he too looked different like Jeff did—golden-brown hide, with golden eyes, instead of the dreary gray and black color scheme.]

Jeff. And who are these visitors?

[Stendarr's voice.]

( @benevolence-of-mara @fyr-himself )

[benevolence-of-mara]

(Mara blinks in disbelief. She is aware that some sort of exchange must have taken place but...)

Sten?

@fyr-himself

[fyr-himself]

"Oh now this is a problem I would love to solve." His mind is going wild with possibilities how to transfer a daedra and an aedra between bodies.

@lord-of-brutality

[lord-of-brutality]

[Stendarr hesitates.] Mara? And... That voice can only belong to Divayth. You're here? What's going on, did Bal do something to Aetherius?

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

Not yet.

But he has kidnapped both Talos and Sorayne.

We have come looking for you.

@fyr-himself

[fyr-himself]

"Believe it or not Mannimarco initiated this rescue. He of course gloated how he noticed something was off with "you" and went to Talos and Mara."

@lord-of-brutality

[lord-of-brutality]

[Stendarr's bladed tail lashed in agitation and fury.] He kidnapped my brother? And Sorayne, of all mortals... That fucking bastard. I should gut him. Do you know where they are?

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

Cedar has reported that he put them in pocket dimensions of THENDR. They have not found a way inside yet, though.

@fyr-himself

[fyr-himself]

"But once you are in control again we will need to act quick because the God of Schemes does not like his schemes unraveling."

@lord-of-brutality

[fyr-himself]

(A frog hops in. They have a faintly glowing pearl attached to their back.)

(A voice fills the room.)

Mannimarco has told me that you may be of assistance in getting to Fargrave.

Mara, Goddess of Love

@benevolence-of-mara

Divayth picked the pearl off the frog then looked to the frog. "Can you take me to her so we may talk strategy?"

[benevolence-of-mara]

(Rebit makes frog noises.)

I am unsure if Aetherius is a good place to talk right now. We have been compromised, as I am sure Mannimarco has mentioned.

(Mara's voice says.)

[fyr-himself]

"Then why not come to me, my tower is within a pocket realm at the moment and should be safe."

[benevolence-of-mara]

(There is a moment of static.)

I apologise for the sudden intrusion.

(Mara is now standing behind him as she dusts of her robes.)

But it appears it is now only I who is available from my family.

[fyr-himself]

Divayth turned, completely unphased by an Aedric god in his presence. "I assume things have gotten worse for the Aedra since Mannimarco and Vanus spoke to me. Such things can be expected of the House of Troubles. You require a way into Fargrave. Do you need anything else or tell me things from your perspective?"

[benevolence-of-mara]

Ideally, I would also need a way out of Fargrave.

But yes. All my brothers have the self-preservation of a boulder tumbling down a hill. And so, one after the other, they got captured. The only exception would be Zenithar, but he is unavailable for now.

[fyr-himself]

"A way out can be achieved. I have hidden a path through Clockwork City which I obtained and kept hidden in a non functioning form After the Nerevarine killed Almalexia. I use it to house secret paths through several daedric realms and it remains here hidden in my tower. Does this suffice?"

[benevolence-of-mara]

I believe so, yes.

Thank you, Divayth Fyr.

[fyr-himself]

"Of course, Soryane is a friend of mine after all. I am more than happy to help. You let me know when you are ready."

[benevolence-of-mara]

I'm ready.

[fyr-himself]

"Very well, follow me and we will go to Fargrave. Do we know who is lost there?" he turned and lead her up a spiral staircase.

[benevolence-of-mara]

I believe one of my brothers is lost there.

[fyr-himself]

Divayth stopped in front of a door and waved a hand, unlocking the complex Dwemer mechanism with magic then lead her inside to a stone platform in the center of the room with what looked like a replica Dwemer city. "Just so you know, once one is rescued we must get to the other two fast before Molag Bal can readjust his tactics."

[benevolence-of-mara]

I'm aware.

I'm ready to give the order to cap THENDR's energy at a moment's notice.

[fyr-himself]

"Then let's go save a god." He placed his hand on the dome over the model and shrunk down, appearing within the now quiet and despaired Clockwork City.

[benevolence-of-mara]

Nobody lives here anymore, do they?

(She looks around the desolate place.)

[fyr-himself]

"No, it died when our version of Sotha Sil died. I am thinking of gifting it to another."

[benevolence-of-mara]

I see.

And from here we will reach Fargrave?

[fyr-himself]

"Yes, I put the portal this way." He lead her down the path to a large building at the other end of the city and brought her to a back room down an elevator then opened a door showing a portal.

[benevolence-of-mara]

Oh, that's... out of the way.

Thank you again.

[fyr-himself]

"Yes, the best place to keep it hidden. Do you wish me to come with you or wait here with your frog so I know when to re open the other side for you?"

[benevolence-of-mara]

I believe it would be good not to go in alone. Rebit can return to Zenithar.

(The frog disappears.)

[fyr-himself]

"Then let's go." He stepped through the portal first and waited for Mara on the other side.

[benevolence-of-mara]

(Mara follows after him, looking around.)

Will we have to be quiet?

[fyr-himself]

"Preferable. Even better if you can disguise yourself as a dremora." with a snap of his fingers he changed to look like a Dremora from Coldharbor.

[benevolence-of-mara]

I don't believe that I ever tried before.

[fyr-himself]

"If you wish me to I can use a bit of illusion magic to mask you. After all, you can be quite noticeable."

[benevolence-of-mara]

Very well.

(She holds still for the spell.)

[fyr-himself]

Divayth held out his hands and traced an arc of magicka in the air and cast an illusion spell on the god making her look like a female dremora. "There, hopefully it is enough to hide us at a glance but if anyone looks deeper, they are going to know who you and I are."

[Several minutes later, they would see a Daedric Titan crawling between the ruins of Fargrave, wings tucked tight against his body, sniffing at the ground as if searching for something. He turned and looked directly at Mara and Divayth, who currently looked like Dremora from Coldharbour. Jeff, with a doubt, but he looked different now, with his scaly skin seeming like a warm golden-brown instead of black, and he was much larger now as well.]

[It was probably pretty funny to see a fully grown winged demon puff up like a threatened kitten, but he shrieked and booked it in another direction immediately afterwards. It would be a shame to lose him, especially since he would probably warn Stendarr that Molag Bal's daedra had found them, unaware that they were friendly, which would probably make it far harder to find the Aedra.]

( @fyr-himself )

[benevolence-of-mara]

Oh dear!

We need to run after him! Who knows who he will try to warn!

(She runs after the Daedra, believing it to be an enemy.)

@fyr-himself

[fyr-himself]

Divayth sighed. "I am too old to run with far too much magic at my disposal." he, with a snap of his fingers vanished then reappeared in front of Jeff. "I suggest you look at us a bit deeper."

@jeff-the-daedra

[jeff-the-daedra]

[Jeff skidded to a stop, flapping his wings to regain his balance. At first, he looked bewildered, but then he peered closer, sniffing at Divayth curiously.]

You... You are that grumpy elf-mortal with the Psijics! Yes, I know you. What are you doing here?

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

(Mara nearly crashes into the Daedra as she comes to a stop.)

We are looking for Stendarr. And whoever else may have been imprisoned here.

@fyr-himself

[jeff-the-daedra]

Imprisoned? Stendarr isn't imprisoned. I don't know anyone who is, not here. This is a neutral ground.

( @fyr-himself )

[fyr-himself]

"Well Molag Ball is masquerading as Stendarr. How do you explain that?"

@benevolence-of-mara

[jeff-the-daedra]

Oh, that. I can show you why that is. Come on, follow me!

[Jeff trots happily past them, wings fluttering.] Mister Stendarr's right this way.

( @benevolence-of-mara )

[benevolence-of-mara]

(Mara shrugs and follows.)

@fyr-himself

[fyr-himself]

Divayth walks with Mara.

@jeff-the-daedra

[fyr-himself]

(A frog hops in. They have a faintly glowing pearl attached to their back.)

(A voice fills the room.)

Mannimarco has told me that you may be of assistance in getting to Fargrave.

Mara, Goddess of Love

@benevolence-of-mara

Divayth picked the pearl off the frog then looked to the frog. "Can you take me to her so we may talk strategy?"

[benevolence-of-mara]

(Rebit makes frog noises.)

I am unsure if Aetherius is a good place to talk right now. We have been compromised, as I am sure Mannimarco has mentioned.

(Mara's voice says.)

[fyr-himself]

"Then why not come to me, my tower is within a pocket realm at the moment and should be safe."

[benevolence-of-mara]

(There is a moment of static.)

I apologise for the sudden intrusion.

(Mara is now standing behind him as she dusts of her robes.)

But it appears it is now only I who is available from my family.

[fyr-himself]

Divayth turned, completely unphased by an Aedric god in his presence. "I assume things have gotten worse for the Aedra since Mannimarco and Vanus spoke to me. Such things can be expected of the House of Troubles. You require a way into Fargrave. Do you need anything else or tell me things from your perspective?"

[benevolence-of-mara]

Ideally, I would also need a way out of Fargrave.

But yes. All my brothers have the self-preservation of a boulder tumbling down a hill. And so, one after the other, they got captured. The only exception would be Zenithar, but he is unavailable for now.

[fyr-himself]

"A way out can be achieved. I have hidden a path through Clockwork City which I obtained and kept hidden in a non functioning form After the Nerevarine killed Almalexia. I use it to house secret paths through several daedric realms and it remains here hidden in my tower. Does this suffice?"

[benevolence-of-mara]

I believe so, yes.

Thank you, Divayth Fyr.

[fyr-himself]

"Of course, Soryane is a friend of mine after all. I am more than happy to help. You let me know when you are ready."

[benevolence-of-mara]

I'm ready.

[fyr-himself]

"Very well, follow me and we will go to Fargrave. Do we know who is lost there?" he turned and lead her up a spiral staircase.

[benevolence-of-mara]

I believe one of my brothers is lost there.

[fyr-himself]

Divayth stopped in front of a door and waved a hand, unlocking the complex Dwemer mechanism with magic then lead her inside to a stone platform in the center of the room with what looked like a replica Dwemer city. "Just so you know, once one is rescued we must get to the other two fast before Molag Bal can readjust his tactics."

[benevolence-of-mara]

I'm aware.

I'm ready to give the order to cap THENDR's energy at a moment's notice.

[fyr-himself]

"Then let's go save a god." He placed his hand on the dome over the model and shrunk down, appearing within the now quiet and despaired Clockwork City.

[benevolence-of-mara]

Nobody lives here anymore, do they?

(She looks around the desolate place.)

[fyr-himself]

"No, it died when our version of Sotha Sil died. I am thinking of gifting it to another."

[benevolence-of-mara]

I see.

And from here we will reach Fargrave?

[fyr-himself]

"Yes, I put the portal this way." He lead her down the path to a large building at the other end of the city and brought her to a back room down an elevator then opened a door showing a portal.

[benevolence-of-mara]

Oh, that's... out of the way.

Thank you again.

[fyr-himself]

"Yes, the best place to keep it hidden. Do you wish me to come with you or wait here with your frog so I know when to re open the other side for you?"

[benevolence-of-mara]

I believe it would be good not to go in alone. Rebit can return to Zenithar.

(The frog disappears.)

[fyr-himself]

"Then let's go." He stepped through the portal first and waited for Mara on the other side.

[benevolence-of-mara]

(Mara follows after him, looking around.)

Will we have to be quiet?

[fyr-himself]

"Preferable. Even better if you can disguise yourself as a dremora." with a snap of his fingers he changed to look like a Dremora from Coldharbor.

[benevolence-of-mara]

I don't believe that I ever tried before.

[fyr-himself]

"If you wish me to I can use a bit of illusion magic to mask you. After all, you can be quite noticeable."

[benevolence-of-mara]

Very well.

(She holds still for the spell.)

[fyr-himself]

Divayth held out his hands and traced an arc of magicka in the air and cast an illusion spell on the god making her look like a female dremora. "There, hopefully it is enough to hide us at a glance but if anyone looks deeper, they are going to know who you and I are."

[benevolence-of-mara]

Then we shall better make sure that they won't look deeper.

[fyr-himself]

"Then we move quickly. Do you have a way to locate your brother?"

[benevolence-of-mara]

(She raises her hand and conjures a spark.)

This will give off a pulse that resonates with the Aedric soul. It shouldn't be detectable by Daedra.

[fyr-himself]

Divayth just waited patiently for her to locate who they were looking for so they can continue on.

[benevolence-of-mara]

(The spark lifts up and pulses, its color matching itself to its surroundings and slowly drifted off one direction. Mara follows.)
