Hackdirt looks so nice :)

Here's some more Eldritch and cosmic horror hcs I have for The Elder Scrolls

I imagine that those who have actually seen the form of Hermaeus Mora have also went mad as he is incomprehensible but also because he projects the knowledge of everything into their minds which is what turns them into seekers and lurkers

Nobody other than The Last Dragonborn has returned from Apocrypha sane barely anyone returns from Apocrypha due to most of them becoming seekers or lurkers the ones that do escape end up mad and rambling things about seas of Black and ever watching eyes

Hermaeus Mora drives people to insanity like Sheogorath difference is Sheogorath makes them lose their mind through chaos

Hermaeus Mora makes people lose their mind by making them aware of how insignificant they are compared to the vast amount of powerful beings that can wipe them from existence in an instant

The Deep Ones that live under the town of Hackdirt are very mysterious the caves under Hackdirt connects to the coasts of Cyrodiil where an entire society of Deep Ones live

Some people think they are remnants of the dreugh others think maomer or maybe sloads but when the Imperial Legion permanently ceased the town of Hackdirt not too long after the events of The Great War they found The Bible of The Deep Ones and brought it to an Imperial scholar to translate it he has said that it is unlike any known language he has seen but he would try to decode it

Days later a note was found in his office rambling about during the time of seas of black and red suns when the towers fall and reality is being teared apart by the children of the gods the beast in black will burn the world

The scholar and The Bible of The Deep Ones was nowhere to be found

I know its a reference to Lovecraft and prolly not meant to mean anything, but... theory about Elder Scrolls Oblivion's "Hackdirt" and "Deep Ones".

Ancient Creatures near the center and underneath Cyrodiil that require blood.

A few folk have already noted that it sounds like Vampire Falmer.

But we're under Cyrodiil.

Well, I should point out...

The Aylieds, the Heartland Elves, did worship Daedra--more specifically, they venerated Molag Bal, who made vampires.

Wouldn't be out of the question that, in ye olde ancient Cyrod, when up against Alessia's Rebellion, that some Aylieds tried to take shelter underground, then call for help when they either got trapped or never felt confident enough to leave and the food ran out, and then became something... Else, when the call was answered.

Unseen, and bloodthirsty, and down there for Millennia.

even Hackdirt can be beautiful

But look the creepiest thing about Hackdirt isn't that it's half destroyed, or the cult sacrificing people, or the weird "brethren" under the town. It's not the fact you get attacked if you sleep, not the hostile attitudes of the townspeople, not even those noises. It's the fact that look, I've trailed several people in the town, waiting for them to sleep and THEY JUST DON'T. EVER.
