📋 About This Mod

"Even the Dreugh beneath the Seawall, whose ancient loyalty endures in silence and tide, bear witness to this truth. They remember a compact older than any crown worn in Tamriel today. Their presence is not obedience, but remembrance. They coil and wait, protected not by shell alone, but by knowledge of place and patience.

"Thus, when the Seawall’s great gate is raised or lowered, when pilgrims pass beneath its shadow, or when merchant hulls sail into Norvayn Bay, all are alike subject to its quiet testimony: that Vivec endures, that the Temple endures, and that the world passes through them, and not the inverse. So too must the faithful learn to stand within the world without being consumed by it.

"Empires may come bearing seals and laws, and they will believe themselves permanent. The Seawall will watch them believe this. Then it will watch something else. Such is the reward of correct stance and patient strength.

"Such is the purpose of a Witness Structure.

"Praise be to Vivec, who taught stone to watch, and taught the faithful how to stand."
