About me and this page

Hi, I'm Alex. This page is here to act as a collection of some of my projects and some of my thoughts, as well as being a small side hobby in itself. I don't have any vision as to what this page should be; I am putting up stuff that comes to my mind which I think fits and building up the page from this spontaneousness. I think through this process the page organically morphs into something that is definable by itself.

What does dagoth mean?

It has nothing to do with "goth." Dagoth is a house (in the sense of a club) created by a person called Voryn Dagoth (later known as Dagoth Ur) in a video game called "The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind." It is difficult to break the concept of the house down briefly because the lore is quite complicated, extensive, and also full of uncertainties. Gun to my temple, if I had to explain it in a short manner, it would be that the main goal of the house is to regain power and influence through the spread of grotesque diseases and the usage of arcane artifacts. This sounds like a setup for a classic good/evil dichotomy, but it is actually not obvious if House Dagoth is in the wrong in the bigger picture. In the end, House Dagoth loses. This game had a profound impact on me when I was a child, which is why I am using this name. If you're not bored to death by now, you can read more about it here.

thanks for stopping by!
