Have you ever considered the difference between the Aedra and the Daedra? Truly considered it, prodded the edges of the concept. The point of distinction is generally assumed to be the creation of the Mundus, where some uncategorized beings were involved and others were not - thus creating the categories. But what counts as being involved in the Mundus? Is my sphere not part of that world, through the existence of knowledge? Is Dagon not listening in and influencing any would-be kingslayers? What connects a spirit to the Mundus, and what makes them disconnected?

Furthermore: if the categories didn't exist before the creation of the mortal world, then why do all the Aedra also count as Anuic, where the Daedra count as Padomaic? Those who say there was ever no distinction must be wrong, then. You could know which would be Aedra by how they reflect order and chaos. But Jyggalag is a Daedric Prince, and he is the arbiter of order. Surely he would be Anuic. But then, why is he not an Aedra?

If you ever read something about the Princes that seems a little... off? Check to see if it was produced by the Tribunal Temple. Their myth-making run to create godly legitimacy was mostly done at our expense, because their audience didn't really care for worshiping anyone else. Especially Boethiah, Azura, and Mephala. They got shafted so hard by AlmSiVi rewriting their people's history.

#glad they lost their powers lol #hope the nerevarine killed the two that lived to see the third era #sorry not sorry #almsivi #the elder scrolls

Why are mortals always so interested in TALOS and not Ebonarm? both of them ascended to godhood from mortal life, and Ebonarm didn't need to be uplifted or three separate people to do it. Is it because he's Yokudan?

#the elder scrolls #ebonarm #don't even get me started on sh'shiing #imperials wouldn't know divinity if it bit them in the eye

I fucking hate Jhunal. Do not compare me to that swine. Do not syncretise me with him. Do not pretend that we are emanations of the same concept. What can you do with wisdom? It's nothing! NOTHING without knowledge. And LAW??? What in the name of anything could I have to do with law?! I, the owner of an endless, shapeless, organization-free library stocked with truths from all possibilities? When I. When HE gave language to the Nords. When he gave language to the nords. He got nothing out of that. Why would I do something if it didn't benefit me? Checkmate.

One of my favorite things about the Stormcloak rebellion is that they're the 4e "saying the quiet part loud" champions. Their obvious, overt racism - the "grey quarter", argonian entry ban despite using them for cheap labor, etc. - and nationalist zeal makes their cause hard to support in a way the Empire is not. But they're no worse than the Empire for non-Breton, Nord, or Imperial peoples. Talos's imperium is explicitly constructed for the supremacy of his cultures. Mer, beast-race, Redguard citizens are happily exploited and allowed to build "productive" lives so they can provide for the core provinces of High Rock, Cyrodiil, and Skyrim. If it were any different, why was there never animus within these places to end the slave trade in Morrowind? Surely such injustice would inspire a drive for change in citizens of an egalitarian society?

Ulfric's rebellion is a petulant tantrum, too upset over not being the high king to realize going along with the empire's shadow play is in his best interests. He can want for nothing that the Empire does not wish to provide, because the whole damn thing was made to enrich him at the expense of everyone else. He's ruining the game because he didn't get to be team captain! But he's gone too far - if the war isn't ended quickly, he'll definitely lose. There aren't enough people on his side willing to take up the sword against an Empire that keeps the dance going. Not even two weeks from his spat with Torygg, is a passing Mer more likely to fight for the Empire who takes them with no fuss, or the bear-draped Nord who asks them a racist question the instant he sees them?

#The Septim Empire is not good. it is invested in the status quo #love ulfric. very entertaining moron #skyrim #the elder scrolls

Mannimarco, elven necromancer-ascended-to-god and ancient People played in reverse. Tiber, the river who established the Septim empire. Talos, Tiber (river (man))'s deific form, and a giant bronze automaton created to protect Europa. I could continue, instead i say this: There is nothing new under the sun (magnus (latin for "great")).

#it is good to have perspective #everyone is a hack fraud stealing from something #the elder scrolls

Zippity zappity, you are now a funnie little pone!

A rather uncomfortable form, I must say. No more than any other equine of course -- I've always loathed needing to be horse-like in my Tamrielic apparitions. You would be surprised how often it comes up.

In repayment for your contribution to the shelves of Apocrypha (a seeker is copying these images into a full-color black book as we speak), take this equine knowledge: all horses of Nirn are emanations of one being. This is why, in any specific era, they all have the exact same shape. Our horse-being is nameless, formless outside the Mundus, and has a penchant for sugar cubes and carrots.

#i have taken to calling it the Ansegheist #the extra H in “gheist” stands for horse #the elder scrolls #horses #my little pony

Very funny to find mortals who believe in Nir. As if the genuine personifications of order and chaos would start fighting over who gets to have a girlfriend instead of their intrinsic opposition to one another

#it makes anu and padhome seem like such chauvanists #oooooh she should like me instead of you its not fair waah waah lets punch each other over it #the elder scrolls

Mortals often ask if Mankar Camoran was right about Tamriel being a plane of Oblivion, and Doom Drum thus being a daedric prince. To this I respond: Tamriel is a continent you fucking moron. It's not even a whole plane by itself.

Hermaeus Mora more like Hermaeus MORON

Yes, yes, quite so. Keepers, take this creature to Ur-Mora Clarion.

#see how you like the demiplane of space-within-space #ever been full of holes that have holes?#idiot?#the elder scrolls

It is quite funny that mortals think shipwrecked sailors still go to Aetherius. If they wash out of the sea, sure, but otherwise they are the property of your Abyssal Cephaliarch

no matter what anyone might think of his legacy and various atrocities, there is no denying that Pelinal Whitestrake was really funny

some have asked about why the jars in the Infinite Brain Hallway are all sitting on large blue plinths. its called interior design, maybe you've heard of it

the dwarves were all weirdo sex-freaks. all those robots were actually sex robots retrofitted for defense during the war of the first council

if anyone else asks me for a copy of The Mad God's Masque and Bellicose Ball I am going to strangle them to death. You don't even know what 'withershin' means, shut the hell up about it

the secrets of the Skaal were instrumental in upgrading Apocrypha's HVAC. Place used to be more humid than Argonia, it was just awful for the books.
