Thank you for hosting this event @tes-gala 🩷

I painted Alethia in a dress with her constellation, The Lover. I thought it would be interesting if she were to be posed as the standing stone 💐

Mother morrowind as akatosh/auri-el/etc for the @tes-gala <3 the dress is heavily inspired by the mugler hummingbird dress(hopefully this gives dragon instead,,,)

Miraak and Lilliandra of House Nivulirel

The villain power couple is here! Miraak and Lilliandra have made it to the @tes-gala this year and just barely on time! XD This is my post-Apocrypha Miraak design after Lilli resurrects him. Miraak is the Tower and Lilliandra as the Ritual.

Apocrypha-era and pre-Apocrypha era under cut, as well as close ups and some lore bits :)

This took me 30 hours. I wish I had done more but I ran out of time. I hope y'all still like it! 💚💚

Apocrypha-era Miraak || pre-corruption Miraak

Here's close ups of their faces :)) The ring on Lilli's necklace is one of Miraak's old ones. She has a habit of creating him newer, stronger ones to use while she wears his old ones! The scar-like pattern on his face (and right hand) is the Apocrypha corruption he once had now scarred/healed in his freedom on Nirn.

Possessive claims in many ways! 🤭 On the left is close ups of their wedding rings. I'm still not positive what material they had them of, but all the same, I wanted to add them in! And the burned hand mark the right! Oh! That's just another claim — specifically Miraak's hand burned into her through magic (oh, she definitely asked for it 😩)

I have an accompanying fic to go with this, but sadly that'll be out tomorrow!

TES GALA 2026

I made it! This is my first time participating in such an event, it was very exciting! Thank you, @tes-gala, such a wonderful experience🤲💖

For Dakotta and Teldryn, I chose their birth signs (from my headcount, of course), but I decided that they would switch places. Dakotta was born under the sign of Atronach, but she really wanted to wear armor (or something similar, in a lighter way) at least once🌸🤲😮‍💨 Well, Teldryn just had to agree and give her his warrior sign.🗡️

[The courier delivers you a gold-filigreed envelope - in it are two cards. You read the first.]

House Nivulirel Extends an Invitation To Our Esteemed Guests,

To the Esteemed and the Enigmatic, Once each year, when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest and the heavens draw close enough to whisper, House Nivulirel opens its ancient halls for a celebration written in starlight. Start Date: 3rd of Second Seed Duration: One Week’s Time, from Sundas to Loredas (though your stay need not span the full length of the revelry) Theme: [Constellations & Birthsigns] We finish the week by encouraging total creative freedoms to our patrons on Loredas. Attire: Embody the sign that shaped you — or the one you dare to claim For seven nights beneath a sky mapped in silver fire, the halls of Nivulirel shall transform into a living zodiac. The Warrior may clash in glittering spectacle. The Mage may bend light into impossible forms. The Thief may vanish between shadow and star. Each sign shall have its hour. Each star its witness. Expect feasts inspired by the heavens, performances that chart the rise and fall of destiny, and chambers devoted to each Birthsign’s myth and mystery. New wonders will be unveiled with each passing dusk, as the constellations wheel overhead and the firmament itself becomes our stage. Only those who receive this invitation shall be granted passage. Look to the sky. It has already marked you. House Nivulirel awaits your presence.

[You move to the next card.]

Due to the failure of one of our scribes, we lost part of the full guest list. If you would be so kind to help us find the missing guests, we would forever be in your debt.

[What shall you do?]
