Venture to the bizarre realm of Sotha Sil , the Clockwork God and third member of the Dunmer Tribunal ! The machine world is rife with frightening and alien dangers lurking beneath its metallic deserts and artificial trees , where only tiny pockets of citizens are able to carve out a quasi – religious society that values enlightenment and experimentation in emulation of its detached benefactor . A dark conspiracy threatens the integrity of the Clockwork City , and signs of a powerful Daedric relic manifesting within that realm draw all interested eyes toward Sotha Sil ’ s domain . The Brass Fortress . Going to the Clockwork City will eventually lead you to the Brass Fortress , the center of the city itself and the one place that the Clockwork Apostles , dedicated priests and inventors , work to improve their bodies and minds – sometimes with dubious “ replacement ” parts ! Here , you can find the usual services and commodities . New World Bosses and Delves . The Clockwork City is a treacherous place with dangers both native and invasive . New Sites to Explore . Two full quest objectives exist in the wilderness of the Clockwork City for you to explore . New Trial : Asylum Sanctorium . Sotha Sil , always seeking knowledge , used three Dunmer saints in his earliest experiments into everlasting life . Using the power of Soul Gems , he created mechanical vessels for the saints and imprisoned their souls within . While the experiment was successful , the Saints were driven insane by the process . The Asylum Sanctorium was created to house the Saints so that they would not threaten the rest of the Clockwork City . The Saints have grown in power during their imprisonment and now threaten to break free of their prison . The time has come to end the threat they pose . Asylum & Perfect Asylum Weapons . Much as the Master ' s and Maelstrom ' s weapons before , the Asylum and Perfect Asylum weapons alter and improve the effect of one of your weapon skill line ' s abilities . Perfect Asylum weapons have the same benefit as the imperfect Asylum weapons , but at a greater magnitude . Perfect Asylum weapons are available only for those intrepid heroes who can conquer the hardest battle available in Asylum Sanctorium – St . Olms , and both of his allies , fighting alongside one another . For a full list of the Asylum weapons , please see the New Item Sets section a bit further down . Asylum Sanctorium Itemization .
