Totally worth it

Keeper of the Photostatic Numen

an appreciation piece for the Araynys Dagoth design and concept made by @unknownhomosapien and @roumanelli as can be found here and here thank you very much for creating those designs as they are incredibly elaborate and beautiful, they fill my head with inspiration and i have never seen sixth house designs as nice as these :3

this work depicts Araynys himself in front of a work-in-progress voryn mural, the gate is for identifying the location as the bone cavern Mamaea, i also liked the idea of different designs for the different House Dagoth servants, the one painting the ash statues at the forefront was slightly inspired by the jiangshi, having a talismas (fulu) type thing on the head

i chose a specific pose for Araynys that would remind of measurement, his thumb meets his eye and his eye meets the top fingernail of his right hand, forming a 90 degree angle (totally not referencing this kira yoshikage panel)

thinking on the concept of "mightly lessons of multiplication" i initially wanted to draw the floor entirely covered in standing ash statues, symbolizing the vast numbers of the sixth house, however it didnt make it into the final piece because of composition issues

close ups:

Dagoth Ur or Dagoth Voryn - youngest of them all, yet he was one of the strongest mages of his era and brought glory to the House for few centuries. Loyal to Resdayn, loyal to the House Dagoth, loyal to Lord Nerevar, he remained loyal even after the betrayal of Tribunal and now trying to bring justice and mourn the unmourned.

Dagoth Uthol - The Ruler of Kogoruhn, called "Aphotic Contriver" and "Ash Marshal". Martial arts, tactics, and strategy are his primary focus. Teacher of venom blooded lessons, he made diamoncut warriors forged for conquest, but not changing, only improving their form and skills. Impeccable in conduct and mindful of ceremony. His deeds prove that the Dunmer are perfect and do not need miracles to gain power, only conditions and the appropriate attitude. He was true heir of the House, but died early and as sign of respect, was trusted to rule Kogoruhn as it supposed to be in the beginning. The oldest of brothers.

Dagoth Gilvoth - Vassal of Dagoth Ur, called "Scorial Claviger". Bestial in disposition, Gilvoth is quick tempered and depraved. Holding a collection of the still beating hearts of his enemies, he bound their spirits to the service of the Sixth House and presided over all revenants indentured to the Sixth House as wraith liege.

Dagoth Vemyn is the Lord of Vemynal, called the "Womb Serpent". Unsociable and bilious in communication even with his brothers, he nevertheless actively surrounds himself with subjects, in exuberant entertainment with whom he discovers new uses for their bodies. The passionate aspirations of the Times gave us the opportunity to play sacred music without instruments and tear flesh without knives. We owe them the opportunity to bless or punish all others with our divine gift, spreading it. Second oldest siblings, they are not twins, yet was born the same day.

Dagoth Tureynul - Lord of Tureynulal, called "Hearthrum Drinker", "Breviloquent Taskmaster", and "Gold Skinner's Curate". Scholar and academic, Tureynul presided over dwemer athenaeum with only Endus as equal. Well versed in aurals, recreation of his symphonies by our musicians has melted base iron and warped solid trickster's blood. While tonal magic is not a traditional art of House Dagoth, Tureynul's compositions are undeniably superior to those of his peers, and his mastery is as elusive as it is difficult to earn his attention. Each of his six fingers covered in the own blood from playing and each beads of his jevelry has own meaning in compostion.

Dagoth Odros - Lord of Odrosal, called "Guide of a Thousand Eyes" and "Vector Prophet of Allegories". He is the first to remind the children of Resdayn of their higher purpose and holds the keys to their destiny, opening the way for Truth into their dreams, after which they in turn find the way to Dagoth Ur. His inquisitive and diplomatic mind allows him to refine our consciousnesses in the same way that the energy-bearing hearts refine our bodies. To the best of the best, he passes on his knowledge of the art of sleepwalking, which he himself uses with a skill comparable only to that of Dagoth Ur himself.

Having lost his face and sight, Dagoth Odros gained the ability to see the Heart Lines, as well as observe the world through the half-slumber of the eyes of the Sleepers. Both brothers are twins.

Dagoth Endus - Lord of Endusal, called "Arithmetical Reflector" and "Bibliosophist". His sundial cast shadows of tergiversation touched with anathemathmatics. Lord Endus himself is good-natured and ready to share the secrets of his anti-clock mechanisms, the knowledge of which, however, can leave even the strongest of the unprepared minds in a comatose state for six months. Bastard of the House, result of affair with dwemer. Older than Araynys.

SGDQ 2025 - OneShot

Godryn had suffered from migraines for as long as he could remember. It was difficult to predict their onset and the cause of the symptoms, and many attempts to treat it barely relieve the pain. The only thing he noticed was the pattern: those dreams-stories from the Dunmer books always make him woke up exhausted, as if he had lived all the events in real. 

It was obvious why the young man doomed not to be a battle mage - the amount of fortify fatigue potions and coffee drunk by him would have been enough to knock down a Daedric prince with bare hands in a second, but all this was only to get the young mage out of bed.
