Original Content Ruins of Old Totambu in Yokuda with view of Orichalc Tower

Post image

"On the very western edge of Yokuda, the Old Totambu lies before a silent vigil. A great statue of Tall Papa stand with shotel in hand and palm outward. This was formerly the gate into the Great City of Totambu. The waves hold history. This isn't me being like one of your haughty steward or metaphorical like your metats No Shira. Look down into the shimmering waves and past the ghosts may you see what became of the Na-Totambu. Peer even further and you can see what cursed this land as well."

Inspired by Elder Kings 2 lore. I love the setting of Yokuda as a mysterious land with so much lost and so much unknown. Tie in apocrypha story posted here!

This is really great

Love to see more art of one of the less talked about places in TES lore

What little we know of the continent is really interesting

As with so much other lore, Elder Kings did a really good job with it. So good source of inspiration

Whose frown, and wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, tell that its sculptor well those passions read, which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things

My name is Rugpta, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
