Velothi Reverie in Clockwork style (picture heavy) - Updated

This is a repost of an official ESO forums post of mine about one of my ongoing housing projects. It is my primary residence now, please, feel free to visit:

I am in love with two furnishing styles in ESO - Dwemer and Clockwork. I have been working on a Dwemer styled conversion of the Ald Velothi Harbor House for some time, but due to the exorbitant prices and extreme scarcity of Dwemer styled furniture and plans, the progress is very slow. To take a break, I thought I could try the other style I loved.

As ESO seriously lacks any non-Manor sized house in the Clockwork style, I decided to "clockworkize" one of the Medium houses that I really like - Velothi Reverie - in the meantime. The idea is to create a house heavily modified in Clockwork style.

This project has taken a lot of my gaming time lately, but I am having tons of fun. This is part of the actual engame for me. So far, I must have spent somewhere around 1,000,000 gold on furnishing plans, materials, luxury and achievement furnishings, and some crafted items too. I bought a handful of item with Crowns, but those were generally things unavailable elsewhere, and the Clockwork and New Life Festival furnishing packs. I also bought the Clockwork City DLC Collector's Edition.

I am still working on the backstory of my character living there, Danna Indoril, who is to be a Tamriel-born Clockwork Apostle sent outside the Clockwork City, possibly to conduct some experiments. In addition to being an astronomer, she is a well-trained tailor and leatherworker too.

Here is my plan for the house:

The entry hall will contain the Precursor (I only have one so far), his charging station, and some Clockwork bookcases.

The room with the door to the garden will serve as Danna's indoor workshop, and it will contain a custom clothier station (I am still a bit hesitant to spend 3,500 Crowns on the "official" Clockwork Clothier Station), additional clothier devices and tools, supplies, and another station - one for scavenging useful parts of destroyed Factotums, such as the chest armour used in the Medium Apostle style that Danna is wearing. It is a pity that the Clockwork brass tool case is not available even in Crown Store, so I had to use the wooden one instead.

The other room will serve as the house's utility room, and it will contain some machinery, a large water tank, a fireplace, a bath, Danna's cosmetics station, and perhaps some other things.

The cellar will contain as much Clockwork machinery as I could manage to stuff it with, and also some boxes and barrels in the Clockwork style.

The little indoors balcony will contain a couple of chairs, a tea table, some drinkware and some other items to make it feel a bit cozy.

Danna's bedroom will contain Clockwork furniture, with some additions, such as for the bed.

The other bedroom will be furnished mostly in Dunmer style, to serve as the guest bedroom. To simplify things a bit, the servants have their own accommodation in Deshaan.

The garden will be completely modified, serving mostly as an outdoor astronomical research station. It will contain a statue of Sotha Sil from the furniture pack. I may add some Fabricant plants too, if I manage to find enough room for them.

As always, I plan to make heavy use of the NPC's and pets available to me, namely the Merchant, the Banker, the Precursor target dummy, and the Skeevaton pet.

Please, find some screenshots below, bear in mind, that the house is still quite far from being finished, though. Much of it, including the garden is still more a proof of concept than a finished and fully presentable home, fit for welcoming visitors. I hope you find my Velothi Reverie somewhat interesting regardless.

Thank you Pema and Gareth, I am glad you like it.

Let me present to you my Clockwork styled Velothi Reverie version 2, and with a little story too.

The Lady of the house, Danna of House Indoril, has just returned home to announce the visit of Master Tythis the Astronomer, who expressed his wish to use the house's advanced astronomical devices to study some irregularities on the night sky, possibly caused by Daedric influence. He was offered to stay overnight and the guest bedroom was made ready for him.

As a skilled tailor, Danna has no shortage of customers coming for rehearsals of her fashionable dresses made with the use of high quality Clockwork City fabrics and disassembled automaton components. One such rehearsal is scheduled for tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Danna's Khajiit apprentice, Pirharri the Mechanic, is still busy trying to disassemble some automaton parts, and Nuzimeh, the house's maid-of-all-work. makes sure all preparations for the visit of the important guest go smoothly.

I am hooome, and we are going to have an important guest tonight!


May Lord Seth's wisdom guide me.


May the Tribunal watch over us all.


Should the guest fancy some tea and games, I am ready.


The silver kettle with Mutshera's Remorse tea is steaming.


The guest bedroom seems ready.


All lanterns are lit up.


I hope Master Tythis finds the bedroom cozy enough.


Machinery room seems ready too.


Switching all cogs on.


My stock of tailoring supllies should last for a few more months.


Everything ready, Nuzimeh?


Sera, as if your maid-of-all-work has ever failed you...


Alright, I should make myself a bit more presentable then.


Am I glad to have such a well supplied cosmetics corner.


*humms an old Clockwork City tune happily*


All is ready for tomorrow's tailoring session too.


Sorry, Skweex, we will play later, alright?


I hope the customer likes the dress.


This Pirharri the Mechanic is true Apostle material.


Look Sera, this one found a way to disassemble these. It shouldn't take her long, yes?


Just relax and meditate, everything will be fine.


Welcome to my humble abode, Master Tythis.


Hmm, is this really where Baar Dau came to be?


I hope this intricate orrery is useful to Master Tythis.


Alright, let's get some business paperwork done.


All done and put back to its place.


Oh, my evening bath is ready.


Nothing like a hot steamy bath and one of tasty Nuzimeh's sweetrolls.


Time to get some sleep.


Good morning Lord Seth.


Master Tythis, Nuzimeh told me your bed has not been slept in.


By Seth, you really kept yourself busy the whole night, didn't you?


You look exhausted, I shall have Nuzimeh bring you some black coffee and a sweetroll at once.


Oh, my poor little frightened fellow, you don't get so much excitement at once in Murkmire, do you?

The newest addition to the research tools in the house, freshly unpacked after its arrival from the Brass Fortress.

Just a little correction...


...and there we go.


Provost Varuni Arvel sends her kind regards. It was she who insisted that Danna is sent to do the exodromal research afterall:
