Nephilim creations

Lacrymos

Hello,
in this new post, I'd like to introduce you to two houses created by Nephilims, neophyte amateurs (French server).
The first house was created by @Lacrymos and is a tribute to the Nikopol trilogy by E. Bilal, Lovecraft and a nod to Stargate.
"Ruined pyramids of bizarre geometry rose far into the sky, their peaks lost in the gray clouds." (The Hallucinated Mountains).
Story : In Tamriel, on the continent of Nirn, stood an ancient and enigmatic pyramid whose deep-black obsidian walls - faintly reflecting the stars twinkling in the night sky - lent the structure an aura of mystery.
Sitting like a silent sentinel above a gigantic cromlech composed of thirteen Mundus stones criss-crossed with fulgurations, its imposing presence dominated the Sucrelune Prairie.

Flashes of light also emanated from its summit, a sign of the energetic activity pulsing inside this architectural marvel. This mysterious energy pulsated as if alive, vibrating in harmony with the heartbeat of the pyramid. In the holy of holies sat a stellar projection device that animated the pyramid's inner walls, projecting celestial constellations of spellbinding beauty. Composed of complex mechanisms and dazzling lenses, it seemed to be the direct link between heaven and earth. The lightning bolts spewing from this elusive device pierced an enormous scarlet heart beating with a regular rhythm, proof that the pyramid was a living, autonomous organism, the fruit of an improbable construction by a race advanced in technology and grammar.
Four doorless openings surrounded by doorframes engraved with enigmatic symbols and intricate glowing patterns seemed to tell an ancient story, a tale lost in the time-warp of a forgotten language.
At the base of the pyramid, eight small secondary thrusters - made from an alloy of moonstones - encircling the enormous main reactor, emitted a soft hum revealing the power of the energy animating them as if they were ready to activate at any moment.
Suddenly, a golden-tinted beam burst from the center of the base, cutting its way through the darkness of the night. It seemed to be an extension of the mysterious energy vibrating inside the pyramid.
As the ray of light reached the ground, a humanoid shape gradually appeared. Its blurred contours took shape, revealing a slender, graceful silhouette. It glided along the beam, descending smoothly until it touched the ground with unearthly grace.
Disturbingly beautiful, her skin had an ethereal golden sheen, like fine solar armor woven with star threads. Her hair seemed to glow with its own radiance. Her luminous, piercing eyes scanned her surroundings with curiosity.
As soon as it touched the ground, the creature began to stroll slowly, its footsteps barely audible. Its movements were both graceful and enigmatic, as if it were following an ancestral dance engraved in its memory. It explored its new surroundings with quiet fascination...

The second house was created by @Quantum and symbolizes his vision of a dojo, whose story follows.

In the heart of Tamriel, a vast land of adventure and mystery, stands a majestic dojo steeped in ancient tradition. To reach it, visitors must climb a series of steps carved into the rock before arriving at a bridge, a concrete symbol of the transition between the outside and the inside, between the rough world and the tranquility of the dojo. It embodies much more than a simple footbridge: it represents the tangible link between the outside world and inner practice, between effort and reward, between determination and achievement. Each passage over the bridge is a symbol of progress and transformation.
The dojo's imposing structure recalls the forgotten legends of Tamriel, while its smooth, polished parquet floor testifies to a commitment to excellence. The whispers of elders echo within its walls, guiding apprentices in their quest for mastery.
Here, tea is prepared with care, bringing a touch of serenity to the hustle and bustle of training. People gather around a low table, sharing stories and advice. Hot tea comforts tired bodies and soothes restless minds, giving them the clarity they need to move forward.
After an intense day's training, everyone gathers at a nearby ramen-ya and feasts on delicious ramen, its bewitching aromas filling the air. The steaming bowls transform into a symphony of flavors, reviving energies and restoring vitality.
After recharging their batteries with the delights of ramen, dojo regulars discover yet another way to relax and revitalize: the onsen. Close to the ramen-ten, they are lucky enough to find an establishment offering natural hot-water baths, a veritable treasure trove of relaxation. Visitors head for the onsen, leaving behind the cares and tensions of their daily lives [...]

Soothing vapors rise from the hot water as guests enter the peaceful atmosphere of the onsen. Sore muscles relax, releasing the tension accumulated from daily activities and preoccupations. They let themselves be enveloped by the therapeutic benefits of the onsen, taking full advantage of this peaceful interlude in their quest for well-being.
The murmurs of the elders mingle with the gentle lapping of the water, creating a soothing symphony. Everyone relaxes completely, letting their thoughts wander and lose themselves in the harmony of the present moment. Their minds are freed, ready for new ideas and inspiration.
After savoring the regenerating benefits of the onsen, @Quantum friends emerge rejuvenated and invigorated. Their vitality restored, they return to the dojo with renewed energy, ready to continue their personal exploration and embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. Thanks to the union of the relaxation offered by the onsen, the soothing pleasures of tea, the culinary delights of ramen, and the serene atmosphere of the dojo, these devotees of The Elder Scrolls Online feel ready to live their experience to the full across the vast lands of Tamriel.
