mastahcheese, can you tell us more about that world forge you told us about?
Well, my idea was that I would embark on a volcano somewhere in the center of the world, so it would be fairly easy to access, and place about 20 magma forges and smelters in it, and people could try to get legendary smiths from around the world to come and marvel at it, and people could forge whatever they wanted there, so if you wanted a full suit of steel, you could go and make it there.

Natuarally, it would probably become the focal point of a megaproject or two, due to the accessability of the magma.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Be even more awesome if the volcano poked out of a glacier.

Provided that adventurers and their companions turn into citizens of the fort. Does anyone know if that will happen? I remember somebody saying something about multiracial fortresses being possible now. Like elves living in dwarven fortresses and dwarves in elven ones. But will they actually fulfill your orders or will 'guests' just be standing around doing nothing like creatures with the 'Friendly' tag in the units screen?

Maybe we could export Yuli: "Succession fortress too stable? Too boring? Just get our Yuli VlasiTM!"

I have no idea what this "Skyforge" is, but I'll assume the answer is "yes"

Essentially the Skyrim's only lava forge - no, seriously.

Still not a lava forge; it runs on charcoal like any good, sane smith would have it. It's just MAGIC. There was a lava forge in some dwemer ruin or something for dawnguard, though.

Yeah, I remember the Dwemer from when I played Morrowind, those crossbows rocked.
But yeah, basically that, but probably with more forges.

Now that I think of it, Aetherium is basically candy, isn't it?

Or the stuff between planes.
No, wait, that's just Ęther. Perhaps Ętherium is made from stuff between existence?

No, because they have mines for it. It seems to be the glowing blue stuff on the rocks in Blackreach. Also, it seems kind of delicate, explosive they said, so not so good for weapons or armor, more for magical artifacts. But anyway, we're off topic.

A lot of the glowing blue stuff visible in blackreach was fungi and moss developing on rocks, and some of the ore at least actually gives you soul gems, although aetherium itself is apparently a mineral crystal of some variety that can be found in locations like blackreach.

The fact it is nigh-impossible to damage or otherwise work with does smell of adamantine, but only in that it's another fantastical god-material that happens to be blue.
