C0DA is a web graphic novel written by former The Elder Scrolls series developer Michael Kirkbride. It was released to the public on February 14, 2014.C0DA is set on Nirn in the far distant future of the late Fifth Era. Numidium, the Reality Warping Humongous Mecha of Dwemer construction, presumed destroyed following the events of Daggerfall, returns after having been caught in a time warp. It continues its war on the Aldmeri Dominion, led by the fascistic Thalmor, leading to an apocalyptic event known as "Landfall", which has forced the remaining inhabitants of Nirn to take refuge on the moon Masser. The story centers around the Dunmer noble, Jubal-lun-Sul, who seeks the means to shepherd his people to a safe world, away from Landfall.The story is told in Kirkbride's signature writing style, with plenty of New Weird and Mind-Screwy elements. Cosmic Retcons, Time Crashes, Physical Gods, and even some Leaning on the Fourth Wall are prevalent.According to Kirkbride, the main purpose for C0DA is to encourage the idea of The Elder Scrolls lore as a living open-source world that anyone can freely contribute to and reinterpret in their own personal manners. The text itself can not really be interpreted as "canon," more so it attempts to persuade the reader to deconstruct the idea of canon entirely. That said, the text does flesh out some of the ideas and concepts discussed in Kirkbride's other "Obscure Text" works, like the idea of Amaranth and a possible explanation of what happened to the Dwemer.

Curb-Stomp Battle
 C0DA (Webcomic) / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: The only kind of battle the Numidium can be involved with. It crushed the Second Aldmeri Dominion at the Battle of Alinor in the 2nd Era, and returns here. It effectively Unpersons the Altmer, brings the Landfall upon Nirn, and even wins "easily" in a battle against multiple gods. Only the Nerevarine (the Morrowind Player Character) piloting Akulakhan (another Humongous Mecha built from Numidium's blueprints), even slows it down. Numidium is only finally defeated using words.

Eldritch Abomination: Numidium, crossing over with Mechanical Abomination. It is the living embodiment of the Dwemer's concept of refutation, or to have Jubal-lun-Sul put it bluntly:

Time Crash

comment
Time Crash: Rather than being destroyed by the Underking, Numidium was caught in a time warp from the Siege of Alinor (end of the 2nd Era) until the time of the story in the late 5th Era.

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Amaranth. After one becomes aware of the nature of Anu's Dream (the universe) and is able to maintain a sense of self (CHIM), one can exit the dream and create their own.

Unperson: The "ancestroscythe" ability of Numidium causes this. Picking up where it left off in the 2nd Era, Numidium wages war on the Aldmeri Dominion and uses the ancestroscythe to refute the entire Altmer race from existence.

Humongous Mecha: Numidium, with an emphasis on the "humongous" part. Even gods are made to look "tiny" in comparison.

Talking the Monster to Death: Jubal-lun-Sul to Numidium. Somewhat literally, as he beheads it with an empty speech balloon.
