The Mystery of Artaeum Content . A Report for the Proxy Queen By Penewen , Advisor to the Court To Her Magnificence , Proxy to Queen Ayrenn , I continue to follow up on the rumors that members of the Psijic Order have returned to the world after a long and unexplained absence . I have it on good authority that at least one prominent Psijc monk , the High Elf Lilatha , has made an effort to contract champions with a warning concerning the return of the Clockwork City of Sotha Sil . I shall endeavor to discover the reasons for these reappearances and try to determine if they pint to the return of Artaeum as well . Our military leaders have expressed concern over these events . A number of our religious scholars have also expressed concern , as they appear to be evenly divided on the opinion as to whether or not the return of Artaeum ( if indeed it has returned ) indicated good portents or ill omens . I uncovered the following details about the island from ancient records . Idyllic orchards , clear pastures , and misty woodlands make up the majority of the island ' s terrain , along with a number of still and silent lagoons . Eyewitness reports from more than five hundred years ago - the last time Artaeum was known to be present off the southwest coast of Summerset - describe the unique architecture that appeared to be as natural as the countryside surrounding it . The Cephorah Tower supposedly rises above the isle . This relic from an age before the High Elves serves as the headquarters of the mysterious Psijic Order and guards the entrance to the Dreaming Cave . Legends say that Sotha Sil , among others , used the cave as a sort of portal for traveling to the realms of Oblivion . The records indicate that Artaeum disappeared from its location in Tamriel some three hundred - and - fifty years ago . The gray - cloaked members of the Psijic Order , a magical monastic society that pre - dates the Mages Guild , once served as advisors on spiritual and magical matters to the rulers of Tamriel . Whether these sightings of Artaeum mages signals the return of the Psijics to political concerns , we have not bee able to determine . We have almost not been able to confirm if the Ritemaster Iachesis still leads the ancient order , as numerous requests to meet with Psijic representatives have been ignored . Additional information about the Psijic Order follows . The Psijic monks follow the " Old Ways , " combining mysticism , the Eleven Forces , and the divine laws that bind and define the nature of reality into a philosophy and way of life . They are said to have a deep understanding of the Ehlnofey , also known as the Earth Bones , the descendants of the Aedra who once walked Tamriel and gave rise to the races of man and mer . Much of the ritual - based magic the order employs utilizes this understanding , supposedly granting them influence over time and weather . In their , they were the world ' s preeminent scryers , capable of perceiving events across great distances of time and space . It is said they also command powers of communications superior to other practitioners of magic . What this means for Summerset and the Aldmeri Dominion has yet to be ascertained . It would behoove us to acquire the services of the Psijic Order for our alliance , but so far they have refused all efforts on our part to open a dialogue of any sort . We have also received reports from spies in Morrowind that Sotha Sil ' s Clockwork City has been located . His association with the Psijic Order and Artaeum are well documented , so I shall make a journey to the land of the Dark Elves to conduct a scouting mission and try to determine if the return of the Psijics and the opening of the Clockwork City have any connection . It could be that something significant is brewing at a level well beyond our mortals concerns . I will return as soon as I am able . Advisor Penewen
