Damn, this is quite good! Some people have mentioned before that the world building is excellent (and I agree, love the lichking Napoleon, would be proud to die in his armies).

However I don't know if anyone has already mentioned that the voice is perfect. It really captures the vibe of something like Twenty thousand leagues under the sea.

Anyways I'm a big fan, much like the ones used for locomotion on the airships.

…and now I have to envision someone strapped to the windmill engines and spinning along merrily as the Poseidon glides off into the night…

I’m glad you’re enjoying it. The narrative voice is based off my years of reading H.P. Lovecraft - his stories often follow a similarly style in terms of their phrasing (being from the 1930s, the prose is rather more archaic than the modern reader is used to).

Now that you've said it it's obvious that it's inspired by Lovecraft. It does make me worry that this daedricum stuff is going to go horribly wrong.

I can't wait to see it!
