Sigil Keep. Cloud Ruler Temple. The Search For Oat.

It's not often I find works wrought of loving patience, dedication, and focus. Such qualities I found in fenixfurion, a quiet player who says he's obsessed with Oblivion.

The moat of lava, the severe black iron tower, the jagged, cruel rock creeping up the sides of the keep - all of this was painstakingly crafted by fenixfurion, now an architect. The detail is incredible. This is the entrance to the dreaded tower. Here, the raw power of Oblivion is drawn up to power the spire and the sigil stone at the apex of the keep. The apex of the keep is up there. The energy rises through a ceiling crafted of stretched flesh high above. In order to close shut the jaws of Oblivion, the hero must endure wave after wave of merciless daedra working in service to Mehruns Dagon, the Daedric Prince of destruction. Stairs wind up, up, up the spire. Through this portal lies the Sigil Chamber, and a host of enemies. Here, the sigil stone holds open immediate Oblivion gates. Take it, and save Cyrodiil from the curse of Daedric hordes.


Yet another masterpiece designed by fenixfurion. I assisted with fills, and Golden assisted with various tasks. Although Minecraft is a rather crude medium, the resemblance is uncanny.


When first arriving with Martin and Jauffre, a Blade emerges from the sturdy doors to greet you.


Grand steps lead you between massive torches to the fortress proper.


These stables will help keep your mounts warm and protected from the harsh cold from Skyrim.


I may be wrong, but I believe that fenixfurion may have some kind of inate talent for curves, as demonstrated by this wall.


From here, guards can see all the land, and watch the countryside of Bruma for trouble.


fenixfurion has somehow brought the grandeur of the game's temple to the server. Considering your medium is a pack of blocks, that can be very difficult to do.


Here the Blades gather to eat, drink, and warm themselves by the fire. Martin spends most of his time here. At the far end, you can see a portal. If you haven't played Oblivion, then read no further; I am going to include spoilers.


Here are the sleeping pallets and chests of the Blades. They are within ready reach of the Emperor's Room, which is directly upstairs.


This is the spare and simple room of Jauffre, the Grandmaster of the Blades.


This is the lavishly decorated room of the Emperor, complete with fireplace, dressers, shelves, and carpet.


Another room in the fortress, this is the library where players can read, eat, and experiment with alchemy.


Below the library is the forge and armory where all manner of weapons and protection are kept.


This is a close-up of the forge. fenixfurion has gone out of his way to include many details in this creation.


This is the portal you saw earlier in the grand hall, a portal to Mankar Camoran's paradise. It may not be obvious, but if you stand in the middle of the portal, you will sink downwards...


... into the Paradise itself. fenixfurion has exercised his unique ingenuity by creating this below the temple. I myself would have never thought to do something like this.


Here is the entrance to see Mankar Camoran. You better make sure all of your armor and weapons are full charged and repaired, you are healed up and disease-free.


This is the throne room of Mankar Camoran. I don't know about you, but almost every time I fought him, he totally fucking mopped the floor with my character.



Last but not least... one of our best players, Oat, has gone missing. We seriously haven't seen him in a week. DON'T LEAVE US OAT! If you see this, PLAY RIGHT NAOW!
