Sotha Sil, also known as Seht, is one of the ALMSIVI, the three immortal God-Kings of Morrowind, alongside Vivec and Almalexia. By far the least known and most mysterious of the Tribunal Gods, Sotha Sil is the creator of the Clockwork City, a hidden metaphysical construct which serves as his home and workshop, through which he is able to forge the future and reshape the world. To the Tribunal Temple, Sotha Sil is the Light of Knowledge that brings inspiration to craftsmen and sorcerers, and the "transcendent evolution" of the Daedric Prince Azura, as it is believed Azura was Sotha Sil's "anticipation" during the Dawn Era.
Like the other two thirds of the ALMSIVI, Sotha Sil wasn't always a god. He was born once an ordinary Chimer born in the small city of Ald Sotha, in the country of Resdayn, during the early First Era. Despite his unremarkable beginnings, Sotha Sil showed a vast intellect and great potential in the magic arts even from an early age. However, his life abruptly changed one faithful day when, for unknown reasons, the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon descended on Ald Sotha and burned the city's very foundations. Sotha Sil was the sole survivor of the tragedy which struck his home, having been rescued by Lord Indoril Nerevar and a then mortal Vivec. Recognized for his great wisdom and magical knowledge, Sotha Sil was accepted into House Indoril as a royal mage, and would become a trusted adviser to both Nerevar and his wife Almalexia.
During the War of the First Council, where the Dwemer sought to built an artificial god through the power of the Heart of Lorkhan, Sotha Sil fought under Nerevar's banner as his general and as the greatest sorcerer of his armies. After the war, Sotha Sil carefully studied the tools that Lord Kagrenac had crafted to harness the Heart's energies, and learned how to wield them. Together with Vivec and Almalexia, he formulated a plan to use the tools to absorb the Heart of Lorkhan's power and ascend into Godhood, so that Morrowind could forever be under their wise and benevolent immortal rule. In secret, they murdered Nerevar and harnessed the Heart's boundless energies, thus becoming the Three Gods of the ALMSIVI.
Sotha Sil lived his divine life primarily in isolation, filled with a profound existencial disconnect with the world around him, and always followed by his grief and regret of Nerevar's murder. His newfound awareness as a god made him privy to the true nature of the universe as the Dream of an Uncaring Godhead, which led him to develop a deterministic philosophy, believing that free will was an illusion and that all events were set and unavoidable. Paradoxically, Sotha Sil help a deep love for mortals, and often spent his time counseling, guiding, and protecting them. Though he accepted that the universe was a prison, he viewed it as his duty to maintain its walls and bars, and keep its inhabitants safe inside. Sotha Sil died in 3E.427 at the hands of Almalexia, an event he knew was to pass for thousands of years, but, as consequence of his deterministic worldview, never did anything to stop.
