Acadian: I love how the Dwemer ruins look from the outside too. With the crooked towers and peaked roofs. They are not much to look at inside though. Nothing really is in this game.

The Dreamer is the Big Bad in Morrowind. Red Mountain is his lair. He also has numerous Ash creatures called Dreamers, Ascended Sleepers, etc...

Kind of a haunting, if somewhat bleak, nightscape of the ashlands.

I love that levitation spell and the lavender rings beneath Persephone’s feet make her look like Judy Jetson.

Bonehead can’t even figure out how to get past the door?

Yay! Darryl!

M’aiq! Oh my goodness. It shouldn’t surprise me to see him in MW.

The fiery aura coming up from beneath Persephone looks very neat.

Omg, our own Pseron Wyrd!!!! I never knew he made Morrowind mods !!! that is Awesome !!!


Aw geez, the crashed anomaly airship with the dead alien ashlander nearby! Did you find any alien ammo arrows nearby? Bwaahaa!


Another Darryl? Is this a follower or do you have her set in the "draugr faction?"

That is one scary looking Uderfryke with those fangs! Urgh!


Bwaahaa! I don't know the story behind the quest, but Luke looks like he opted for the soft landing from a high fall, lol. (still dying but without the sudden impact)


The "Hall of the Frost Giant" is spectacular! Morrowind was a bit back and forth with their graphics; some of them so breathtaking and others don't feel like the same game sometimes! But this one is one of their better times, really gorgeous!

Urgh, and they did a huge job on the frost giant himself! He looks just horrible; scary; terrifying!!! They did a great job on him! Was Persephone scared? How hard was the fight?

That throne is enormous! Urk, is that Ice King droppings in front of the throne?

Oh wow, I would have expected the werewolf to be bigger than the Player or NPC's!


Hircine looks scary as hell! Holy Crap!!!


Awesome Shots !!!!

Oooh, now you are taking! Red Mountain here we come!!!!

The Red Mountain ruins are spectacular! Kudos to Bethesda on their job on this place; just Awesome!!!

This is like seeing an Oblivion realm for the first time!


I haven't heard about the "Dreamer" before, gaaaah! Scary little note on the floor there! And BWAAHAA = Persephone giving him a dirt nap!!! I would have sprayed my drink if I'd had a sip in my mouth reading that caption,

I'll bet she will !!!


Awesome shots !!!! I am hugely enjoying seeing Persephone in Morrowind - so many places I never got to see in that game!

Oh, the Dreamer is Dagoth-Ur? Why didn't I know that? I must have forgotten it!

The Ashlands at night is hauntingly beautiful; kind of like the DC Wasteland at night! Fantastic shot!


Persephone's traveling high!


Urk, those Bonelords give me the creeps !!!


Persephone looks Awesome here, but Darryl...and what the heck is that thing jumping down on Darryl from behind?


That is Maiq? Holy Cow, he doesn't even look feline!


This last shot of Persephone is Awesome! She is so pretty for Morrowind characters!!!!

Great shots !!!

Acadian: Buzz Aldrin's observation about the Moon is what comes to my mind when I look at the Ashlands: "Magnificent Desolation".

As long as Darryl doesn't look like the Uniblab!

I had forgotten all about Maiq, until I stumbled across him by accident. I think Morrowind was the fist game he was in. But I could be wrong.


mALX: That was another Draugr indeed. He is a former sorcerer living under the big lake on Solstheim. You can team up with him to stop a daedra attack on the island.

The Frost Giant was extremely difficult to fight. I had to run up, hit him a few times, then run away to heal. Then do it all over again and again. If he got more than a few hits in at a time it would kill Persephone.

The werewolves do not look very big. They are seriously overpowered, to the point of being cheaty. I did not like them much.

I think Dagoth Ur is The Dreamer. But the place I took that pic with the "Dreamer awakens" graffiti also had an Ascended Sleeper in it. So it could have been something it had written about itself.

Wow, you are really making Morrowind look great! And PersePics are even more fun now that we have more of her backstory from you in another thread. Gosh, levitation looks like such fun. Aww, Buffy's godmother, by Azura!

Acadian: Levitation is a lot of fun, and very handy. They obviously expected people to use it a lot, because all the mountain peaks have monsters roaming them, and you can only get there by levitating.

Ashlands, Deadlands – hey, it’s all lava.

Dwemer Ruins is a great shot, showcasing the spires of both architecture and surrounding rocks.

False God is hilarious. The look on his face is priceless and I can just imagine what he’s thinking in the little (looks like) thought bubble above his head. Would be a great candidate for the ‘Caption This’ thread!

New Dawn is a classic and classy Persephone shot. Can only imagine what the dead girl’s thinking as the sun comes up.

Was she in Kogoruhn? That is most def Sixth House. And I might not remember whether it was Dagoth-Ur who was known as "The Dreamer," but I do remember that he said the Sixth House would rise again; and there is some lorebook in game that talks about how the children who survived the original sacking of the Sixth House were taken in and raised by the other houses - and that they all had similar dreams as they were growing up and heard a song when they slept that was the call to their heritage (whether they knew it or not) so they would kind of "find each other" through the dreams and song and rebuild the Sixth House.

Can you tell it has always fascinated me?


I did a piece on it for some writing contest over at the Official Bethesda forums called, "The Rise of Dagoth" = so yeah, I agree with you (now that I remember a bit about it) that Dagoth-Ur would have been the one they were referring to.

It (that phrase) was written in places in the game; all of them dungeons. One of the other writings is in Latin, and one in Daedric and written in blood; and in one of the three places you can also find the Sixth House symbol; but I can't remember which one.

I just love anything to do with the Sixth House, I think it is one of the greatest creations Bethesda put into the Elder Scrolls - it never ends, never has to end because Dagoth-Ur proved they could rise again - and would!


That Netch is amazing!!! It looks so much more graphicly perfect than so many other creatures in the game! I do love the Betty Netches in ESO (actually my first time seeing a Netch!)

I LOVE the sunset shot; not because of the beautiful sky or land backdrop, but because Persephone is THAT HIGH UP IN THE SKY for the screenshot !!!!!!!!!!! Aren't those levitations timed? Won't she fall? I absolutely LOVE that she is up there like that !!!!!!!


Beautiful area! And Red Mountain in the background; but look in the foreground !!!! A Dunmer Stronghold !!!!! Which is it?

Azura's coast looks amazing, that water looks like it is rolling!

Have to love Azura !!!!

Awesome Shots !!!

Acadian: I really liked the Ashlands in Morrowind. They have a desolate beauty, in the way a desert landscape does (something I am sure you can relate to).

The Dwemer Ruins changed a bit from Morrowind to Skyrim. in MW they have tall, slender towers that tilt all over the place, topped with graceful curved roofs with sharply pointed spires. They look very much like fantasy castles that have fallen on hard times. Where in Sky they are big, thick towers with low, rounded domes. Very Byzantine looking. I think I liked the design of the MW version better.

I think it did come as a surprise to Vivec. In their conversation Persephone agreed to everything he said. In fact, she had even done some of the things he wanted her to. But apparently he never calculated that Dagoth Ur was not the only False God on the Living Dead Girl's hit list.

New Dawn was such a perfect image. The moment I saw it I knew I had to take a picture of that.


mALX: Persephone did clean out Kogoruhn at some point. Her first time behind the GhostFence was from following its tunnels. That might be the place where the "Sleeper has awakened" writing was from.

Persephone no longer relies on levitation spells. She found the Boots of the Apostle early on, which made life in Morrowland much easier.

I think that stronghold in the Grazelands pic was Indoranyan. But I am not positive.

Morrowind has my favorite water in the ES games. I love how the surface rolls.



She's back!

Yay! the Dead Girl's back in the land of glaciers!

Acadian: I have spent the last few days working on mods and getting things ready for Persephone's return to the land of ice and snow. It is good to be back. It feels really strange after playing Morrowind for so long.

Persephone is looking great! She is still beautiful in a haunting way but looks more. . . undead than she did in MW. Very nice, and I love her eyes. The scar and Darryl are even cooler now that we know some more backstory. The shots showing both Azura's Shrine and the College are magnificent. Just wow!

Acadian: It is good to be back in a game where we can have things like scars and poses. They make Persephone come much more alive adead. I am loving her new eyes, and how they burn from the darkness.

I updated Persephone's backstory post. So now all of her summonings have names. Her new draugr archer pal is Sigrun.


Hmmm, these glowing balls seem to want Persephone to go through the door

So nice to see her back in Skyrim - and following the bouncing balls at that. The one shot without headgear shows a simply adorable high ponytail! Oh, and loving Darryl's sister Sigrun. Aww, buying all Sofie's flowers.

BwaaHaa! Umbacano!!!!

These next few shots really struck me, because when this game first came out it was a pioneer in great graphics, and now looking at these it kind of reminds me how far we have come in this past decade - but Morrowind did have some awesome graphics, I think they just don't photograph as well as they look in game; especially when taking distance shots - it is a shame, too; because it doesn't even begin to represent the feel of seeing Morrowind and being in it.

Wow, I never made it to Vivec Ci...GAAAAAAH!!!!! You killed Vivec? GAAAAAH!

This Red Mountain shot is Awesome !!!

And then they have some great graphics like these!!! Ooh, Keening!!!!

Dagoth-Ur !!!! WOO HOO !!!!! I'm dying to know what he looks like behind the mask, did you get to?

And the Numidium - freaky looking!!!!!


Holy Cow!!!! I've seen vids, but never seen screens of the confrontation with Ur!!! These are amazing!!!! THIS is when the quest writers were at their best, this and the Arena storyline - I didn't find the same thrill at all in the main questline of Skyrim, sad to say.


It is really hard to say this, especially with screens of Persephone battling Dagoth-Ur; the Heart of Lorkhan; etc. = but the shot of Persephone at the end in "A new dawn" - I can't believe that is my favorite shot!!!! Why = There was a real feeling in that shot of just coming out the other side of a tremendous battle she almost didn't survive; having come through and being able to look at the realm that will be forever changed (for the good) by it. That comes through in that screen. Has to be my favorite!

Awesome, AWESOME shots!!! This whole set goes amongst my top favorite screens of all in your thread !!!






Oh wait, so the boots never let her fall down? That is Awesome !!!!

I never saw it rolling in my game, but didn't get that far, either.

GAAAAH, she is going back to Skyrim? Oh well, I just love Persephone no matter where she is: Oblivion, Morrowind, the Wasteland - even Skyrim, lol. She is great no matter where she is.

Wait, how did these screens come out in Black and White?


"Azura's Coast" shot is AWESOME !!!!


You have used that caption before, and if I am not mistaken - in the same place! Still, Awesome shot!


"The Sun Sets" is a spectacular shot!


Skyrim is looking a bit "Kodachrome" in these shots; like everything is in mono and Persephone's skin is in color and standing out amongst a colorless background! Is this something you have accomplished through modding? It sure does make for some interesting screens!


Well, Skyrim Persephone is def not as appealing as in the other realms; she most def gives off the "Undead" vibe in Skyrim (which I'm sure is what you were going for, but in the other realms her eyes bypass her undead state and give you a glimpse into the side of her that once lived).

In Skyrim - you can feel her dead/undead state powerfully, her shots look like there is a tangible veil between herself and the life all around her! That is pretty amazing you were able to accomplish such a radical feel to the game and her in Skyrim !!!

Awesome Shots !!!!

Acadian: I was hoping for a longer ponytail, like the one from Ren's Hair, but I could not find that one particular hairstyle ported to Skyrim. I did add several other ponytails, but sadly most of them clip through her hood.


mALX: I love the way Red Mountain looks with all the red fog around it. Sadly you cannot pull of that gold mask that Dagoth Ur wears. I am assuming it is a mask. But maybe it is just as well that we cannot see what is underneath it...

My favorite of those Morrowind shots is the final one too, under a blue sky looking down at Vvardenfell rolling out from Red Mountain. It made it all feel worthwhile, seeing the world changed.

Sadly those black and white pics are completely vanilla. The lighting in Skyrm is often that colorless. I have actually been working a bit on the weather, and trying to add more color, especially to the nights.

I really like how Persephone looks in Skyrim best of all games. It is the game she was 'born' in, and the one that gives me the most options to really show her otherworldliness.

I can think of no one better to investigate the Windhelm Butcher than Persephone!

She does look at home among her bony friends.

Freeing the Pit Wolves! Buffy used to do that as well. She’d pacify ‘em, set ‘em free and sneak out of their range.

Aurora’s a classic and beautiful shot.

I would not want to be on the other end of steamed Persephone’s two hander!
