Alright, sorry for bringing up even more Skyrimfaggotry, but I've been finally playing through the main questline so a lot of questions have sprung up.

One of my biggest is about how apparently learning a word of power means bringing that power into yourself. So learning Dragonrend, with all its anger and hate poured into it, would bring that anger and hate into you. How can that be? What does the thu'um change?

>>46121437
A hermaphrodite? Not technically, afaik, though he could probably pull a Loki and turn into a female horse if we wanted to. He just embodies duality and androgyny.
>>
>>46121443
When you learn a Word, you aren't just getting new vocab. You're taking the raw concept of that word into yourself.

So, knowing Yol for example means that the very concept of fire, the meaning of it's entire existence in the universe, the most base raw understanding of the concept of [FIRE] is now an integral part of your being.
>>
>>46121483
No, he's literally a hermaphrodite. Pre-Heart, even.
>>
>>46121443
Dragonrend was invented by humans, remember? Doesn't have anything in that's not already present in the psyche, that's why it fucks dragons up so much.

It's kinda like the reverse of a character being mind-raped by cthullu or what have you.

>>46121505
Well, that makes sense to me - fire, change, force, power, stuff like that.

But Dragonrend's power was something along the lines of weakening a dragon by forcing it to feel mortality - which, being creatures of time and more or less permanent, is anathema to them. But how could mortality scar something that is already mortal?
>>
>>46121630
To a mortal, learning about mortality does nothing. But Dragonrend was a shout that was never supposed to exist, and was made with hate and fear. So by learning it you run the risk of some serious soul corruption.
>>
>>46121437
Accordingly to "What My Beloved Taught Me" he always had both kinds of junk.

So it corrupts the soul because of the fact that it's an impossible shout? Or just because of the hate and fear being corrupting?

>>46121739
I found this
>From Sermon 8: "Vivec then reached out from the egg all his limbs and features, merging with the simulacrum of his mother, gilled and blended in all the arts of the star-wounded East, under water and in fire and in metal and in ash, six times the wise, and he became the union of male and female, the magic hermaphrodite, the martial axiom, the six-death of language and unique in all the middle world. "

Being in the sermons, it's probably just embellishment
>>
Another thread, another debate over Vivec's genitals.
It's good to be home.
>>
>>46121851
Hate and fear if I understand what the Greybeards were telling you correctly. Although the fact that it's unnatural made Alduin spaz out a bit in the flashback.
>>
>>46121912
It's actually not, even though it serves its thematic purpose.
>>
>>46121630
Think about it as computer code. The thu'um is, in a way, learning the syntax of code that causes something to happen in reality in the program. Or the very essence of something that causes it to happen in reality. Like plato notion that there was a perfect word and things in reality were mere imperfect shades of it? Well, the thu'um means you can have bits of this true essence.

Now, back to computer code. Dragonrend is a hack. Its not part of the code. Is designed to glitch it. If you are a monk who spend your life trying to learn to see things for their pure, truthful essence, something which is deliberately anti-natural, should really be offensive to you. Corrupt. Abominant.

Does every prince have specific unique minions? Azura has Winged Twilights, Molag Bal the Xivilai, Mephala the Spider Daedroth. What does someone like Sanguine have?

Fuckbuddies.

Smaller scale versions of Sam Guinivene? (No idea if I spelled that right).
>>
>>46122559
Yeah, probably. We've seen somewhere less than 1% of everything in Oblivion.
>>
>>46122559
If I had to guess, I'd say Sanguine probably doesn't have unique minions. He probably snatches up lesser daedra that happen to align with his hedonistic nature, like that one rogue daedroth in Morrowind that ditched Molag Bal to get drunk and fuck stuff.

So Vivec and Molag Bal compared their junk, then Vivec bit Bal in the dick?

>>46123098
He bit part of it off and fashioned a physical spear out of it.
>But Vivec made of his spear a more terrible thing, from a secret he had bitten off from the King of Rape. And so he sent Molag Bal tumbling into the crack of the biters and swore forever that he would not deem the King beautiful ever again.
>Vivec wept as he slew all those around him with his terrible new spear. He named it MUATRA, which is Milk Taker, and even the Chimeri mystics knew his fury. Anyone struck by Vivec at this time turned barren and withered into bone shapes. The path of bones became a sentence for the stars to read, and the heavens have never known children since. Vivec hunted down the biters one by one, and all their progeny, and he killed them all by means of the Nine Apertures, and the wise still hide theirs from Muatra.

It was suggested that the Altmer practiced eugenic infanticide, putting to death nine in ten of their newborns due to impurities, that Altmeri names are simply combinations of numbers in their own language, and that Altmer culture revolves around displaying social status.[18] Later writings contain no mention of any of these practices; whether they were fabricated, exaggerated, discontinued, or covered up afterwards is not known.

Reality is a dream. The dreamer is the Godhead who is everything and everyone.
If you realize it's a dream, one of two things happens.
Zero-summing is when you realize you aren't real, and since you are the godhead and therefore reality, reality realizes you aren't real, and you fade from existence like back to the future.
CHIM is when, through will, you realize it's a dream but refuse to believe you aren't real. Like lucid dreaming in reality. You get God powers, but you need to regulate your actions, lest you wake up reality.

Then why did they put it in and why can it be interpreted in a way that lines up with stuff they've brought up in previous games and still makes sense?

>>46125758
>>46125839
The complexity of it is wild when you read player interpretations on the forums (and they're good reads to boot), but I have to agree that it seems unlikely they actually planned these things out, and that it, just like any other religion has simply evolved organically out of a lot of cool and mysterious, but unconnected snippets.

I only have about twenty, and most of them are pretty minor - sounds of skyrim, some extra kinds of weapons, different races among the Imperial Legion, some patrols of adventurers and soldiers.

Basically, he's a character that has had enough screentime to interest people, especially given that he's got a cool aesthetic, all his lines have been clever or fascinating, and yet there's not enough known about him to inspire people.

He was purportedly strong enough that the other Daedra got scared and turned him into Sheogorath.

If that's true, how strong would that make Jyggy?

Ludicrously so. Given how absurdly powerful HM seems to be and how Sheogorath is still able to humiliate every other prince should he care to.

Well, he might not be especially strong compared to one of the more warlike Daedric Princes like Malacath or Molag Bal. He's just dangerous because he opposes all of the other Daedric Princes at once, and would willingly exterminate them all, where all the others have their own alliances and fight a little less directly, as far as I know.

Basically if he teamed up with Ebonarm, he would be guaranteed to cut a swathe through most of the weaker princes, and if nothing else he could probably outright destroy one. And no Daedric Prince would want to be that one.

Still, I could be entirely wrong - the fact that he has any real power at all, when he's not directly worshiped by any mortals, shows how powerful Jyggy could potentially be.

They're not, the "Skyrim is about a schizophrenic god fighting himself" screenshot is really misleading.

Lorkh and Aka have different roles in the mythic and serve separate narrative purposes. They're only the same in the sense that they take turns wearing each other's masks each kalpa.
