It's true that the Clockwork God was very determinist, even forseeing Almalexia's madness and her killing him, but did not move to prevent it, seeing it as futile. So that's how long I must live."Īlmalexia: "Your time has come, Sotha Sil! All these years you've looked down on me. My machines need 22 minutes to seal the Chamber of Lorkhan. Now, everything depends on my calculations being correct. My dear friend Almalexia has come to kill me. Sotha Sil: "This day has appeared in all my simulations. The goal is to survive until the Mechanical Heart is self-sufficient, and the dialogue reflects this: It would also fit insane Alma's character to delude herself into thinking that a god could not die on his own like that, and that only she, a goddess, could kill this other god.Īs others mentioned, the "Return to the Clockwork City" expansion for TES Legends has you play as Sotha Sil for the last story mission "The Last Stand", where Almalexia comes to kill you. OR, based on that one theory, the City had become a more fitting host for his soul and he had let his body die simply as a useless husk. Guilt over his and the other tribunes' deed to Nerevar might have also something to do with such a decision.
Reasons why Seht might have let himself (or at least his physical body) die whithering like a mortal might be that he thought the Clockwork City had already replaced him in purpose and function, and thus "in essence", or that building it, he had fulfilled his own purpose/function as a living being.
Most importantly, Alma remarks how Seht "mocked him with his silence" as she killed him.
It got me thinking, has anyone considered/written about the possibility that Sotha Sil could have been physically dead already when Almalexia "killed" him?Īs pointed out in the thread, Seht looks very long dead, whithered and mummified. I was reading the recent thread on dead Sotha Sil's skin color.
