Silly psijics doing silly stuff

Ritemaster Iachesis from Psijic Order.

It took me one year to finally finish drawing of my precious noble old Mer. I'm happy now 🥲✨️

Spoiler:

damn I wish SO MUCH we had another ending for his questline. I finished Summerset quest 1 y.ago but I'm still so frustrated of the loss of my sweet old Mer. I wish a better fate for him, WHY we don't have another option like save his live and study peacefully in Psijic Order 😭😭😭✨️

You could become more powerful, Galerion.

If only you limited yourself less with their stupid rules.

I love how Vanus Galerion and Mannimarco are polar opposites of each other.

- Vanus grew up poor, Mannimarco was a noble.

- In their Psijic days, Vanus had short brown hair, Mannimarco has long white hair.

- Vanus was described as “humble” in his youth, Mannimarco was always cold and calculating.

- Vanus prefers robes, Mannimarco prefers jerkins.

- After they leave the Psijic Order, Vanus wears colorful clothing, Mannimarco wears black.

- Vanus cares about the Summerset Isles and it’s people (even becoming the personal tutor of the queen), Mannimarco doesn’t and makes Daedric deals with altmer nobility, maormer and sloads if it benefits him, to the detriment of all of Summerset.

- Vanus is disgusted with death (amplified after what happened to his father and his 2 Psijic classmates), Mannimarco is fascinated by it and even keeps Vanus’s corpse around as a trophy after the Great Battle.

- Vanus was close with his parents (father?), Mannimarco was sent to the Psijic Order as soon as he was able to walk and eventually disowned.

- Vanus’s heart was described as “light and warm” but Mannimarco’s heart was ”dark and cold”.

- Vanus left the Psijic Order on his own terms and willingly, Mannimarco was thrown out of the Psijic Order against his will.

- Vanus developed a philosophy of sharing knowledge to the poor and wanted it to be used for good causes, Mannimarco created the Order of the Black Worm but only cares about one thing: becoming a god.

- In Mages Guild halls you can regularly find Vanus lookalike dolls with quills shoved through the eyes, no mannimarco dolls are made in worm cult lairs.

- Vanus hates vampires, Mannimarco welcomes vampires in his cult.

- Vanus is scared of spiders, Mannimarco often has spider infested caves used for his worm cult lairs.

I will add more when I come across them!

THE LIGHTHOUSE

Originally an ancient Ayleid structure, the Lighthouse was aeons ago adopted by the Psijic Order both as a repository of knowledge and as a means of safeguarding Tamriel’s shores. Tethered to the planar magic of Artaeum itself, the Lighthouse can be directed by its Keeper to travel to any coast where a ship may be in distress, serving as a beacon for foundering vessels and guiding them to shore. Once the ship is safely moored, the Lighthouse vanishes, returning to Artaeum until it is needed again.

A single Psijic, known as the Keeper, holds guardianship of the Lighthouse. The Keeper must attune themself to the Lighthouse’s magic, forming an immutable bond with the structure; the appointment is thus a lifelong role, with the Keeper’s duties only passed on to the next guardian when the current Keeper dies. While the Lighthouse seems to grant unprecedented long life to its Keepers, even by Psijic standards, this bond also means that the Keeper cannot spend long stretches of time away from their charge; similarly, if the Lighthouse itself is attacked or damaged, its Keeper will suffer accordingly, up to and including death.

Currently serving as Keeper is a High Elf Psijic named Tarahen. Tarahen is said to be a calm and amiable personage, lacking many of the high-brow mannerisms usually associated with Altmer. Like many Keepers before him, he is an accomplished scholar, with a particular focus on the history and magic of the Ayleids. Though understandably protective of the knowledge housed within the Lighthouse’s extensive library, he has been known to allow the odd rare tome or artefact to leave its enchanted shelves - should a potential borrower prove themself trustworthy.
