We had an hours-long discussion about it in which you misunderstood or ignored a great deal of our points. Honestly, I am exhausted and to the point of not caring. Or just let the players decide during dialogue choices (at which point the current backstory could be an option, because if players want it to be like that, just let them).

Who knows (as in just don't tell why or be ambiguous about it, and let the players come up with their own explanations).

The mural popped up after being destroyed four or five times at which point Vivec (?) decided that it must be important and they should keep it.

The Tribunal made the mural (reminder of their guilt, reminder of their inability to change people's belief.).

The basic gist of the situation is the following: the Tribunal wanted to have the mural in Necrom and Necrom alone! There are a few options to explain why.

Now of course I don't want this to be unconstructive criticism. I tried to address them all as clearly as possible, but if you feel there are more points or one of my points is not clear yet, feel free to comment about your thoughts. I think these were all the counter points brought up during the Discord discussion. The bottom line here is: don't put guards in front of the entrance - fill the chamber with badass skeletons instead. It would probably would also do if Ordinators are guarding a door of noone knows what's behind it. I'm just including this here to point out that putting Ordinator guards in front of an ordinary wall would probably raise a lot of questions. This opinion has sparked some counter points each of which I would like to address now. In my opinion Necrom is a terrible place to hide the mural because it's a pretty large city which is visited by a sizeable share of the Dunmer population at least once during their lifetime (in the course of pilgrimages/cremations of relatives). My problem with this backstory is the last point - more specifically the place they hid it being Necrom. Therefore, the Tribunal decided to 'move' it to Necrom and lock it up in the chamber. It was created during the Red Moment and when attempts were made to destroy it it kept popping up in populated places. So I decided to make this post to compile my point of view.Īs you can read in the link above the mural is a heretical mural hidden in a secret chamber in the undercrofts of Necrom. Unfortunately it was almost impossible to bring across my point because I had to talk to 4-5 people at the same time bringing up completely different arguments. During the last meeting we had a drawn-out argument about the backstory of the Foul Murder mural (this one).
