REPOSTOBER, day 16: Martin Septim (2015-2017)

I made multiple Martin pieces over the years! This one is the one most of my followers seen and loved:

And this is the clean scan:

The one in the armor:

The Tarot card I've never actually finished:

And the last, but not the least:

The Heartlands: the temperate fertile forests that surround Lake Rumare and stretch into the Nibenay Valley. Thick green meadows of flora and fauna, scattered Ayleid ruins that have returned to nature, and perfect views of the Imperial City Isle. This beautiful and politically turbulent land has seen some of the bloodiest conflicts throughout Tamriel’s history as it very well may be the seat of the world.

“[And then] Perrif spoke to the Handmaiden again, eyes to the Heavens which had not known kindness since the beginning of elven rule, and she spoke as a mortal, whose kindle is beloved by the Gods for its strength-in-weakness, a humility that can burn with metaphor and yet break [easily and] always, always doomed to end in death (and this is why those who let their souls burn anyway are beloved of the Dragon and His Kin), and she said: "And this thing I have thought of, I have named it, and I call it freedom.”

"Change, change will preserve us. It will move mountains...it will mount movements"

I don't know about y'all, everything uncle sheo said made perfect sense to me. Oblivion was a love story.

Ah yes, Dagoth’s message to the Nerevarine. A grand example of how the intimacy and timelessness of comradeship surpasses that of lovers.

“Lord Nerevar Indoril, Hai Resdaynia

My Lord, Friend, and Companion

Once we were friends and brothers, Lord Nerevar, in peace and in war. No houseman ever served you better, or more faithfully. Much that I did was at your command, at great cost to myself, and my honor.

Yet beneath Red Mountain, you struck me down as I guarded the treasure you bound me by oath to defend. It was a cruel blow, a bitter betrayal, to be felled by your hand.

But, remembering our old friendship, I would forgive you, and raise you high in my service. The Sixth House was not dead, but only sleeping. Now we wake from our long dream, coming forth to free Morrowind of foreign rulers and divine pretenders. When the land is swept clean of false friends and greedy thieves, the children of Veloth will build anew a garden of plenty in this blighted wasteland.

Come to Red Mountain, old friend. For the fellowship and honor that once we shared, I would grant you counsel and power, if only you would pledge that friendship anew. The path to Red Mountain is long, and filled with danger, but if you are worthy, you will find there wisdom, a firm friend, and all the power you need to set the world aright.

As ever, your respectful servant and loyal friend,

Lord Voryn Dagoth, Dagoth Ur”

Being the Nerevarine is a curse I wouldn’t wish on anyone. How terrible it felt to strike the heart and watch the friend who had anticipated me for thousands of years fall with Akulakhan.
