Clockwork City is a zone in The Elder Scrolls Online: Clockwork City. It is a mechanical city created by Sotha Sil that exists outside of space and time.[1] The city is contained within a "snowglobe"-like Celestiosphere inside Seht's Vault, deep below Mournhold in Deshaan, Morrowind.[2] Parts of the city are also accessed in Online: Morrowind.[2]

Background[]

"Clockwork City, also known as Sotha Sil, after its creator, is said to be a great and intricate mechanism that duplicates the mythic structures of Nirn in metallic miniature. Only Seht himself knows its true purpose."
―Clockwork City loading screen[src]

Due to its metaphysical properties, the Clockwork City is accessible from various locations at various times. During the construction of Tel Fyr in 2E 582, a portal to the city opened in the Abanabi Cave system beneath the tower.[3] In the same year, the Clockwork Globe that allowed access to the city was located in the Dwemer ruins of Bamz-Amschend underneath Mournhold.[4]

In 2E 582, the city was infiltrated by the Court of Bedlam after Barbas, the hound of Clavicus Vile, attempted to steal the power of Vivec and was able to learn the city's location.[5] Nocturnal's forces soon infiltrated the city in an attempt to take control as part of the Court's plan to control Mundus.[6]

Quests[]

Main article: Quests (Online)

The Clockwork City features a series of zone story quests and unrelated side quests. The zone story quests tie into the Daedric War's overarching storyline and carries on from Vvardenfell before continuing to Summerset, but it is not necessary to complete the story quests for zones prior to those in the Clockwork City. Side quests are non-sequential and can be completed in any order, except where one carries on from another, and repeatable quests can be completed multiple times: weekly for arenas and trials and daily for all others.
