We can all agree that Ebony Warrior doesn't have a place in lore; he's purely a game-specific challenge put by the developers to incite players to keep leveling up, right?
>>43539911
upon translating the scrolls in Morrowind, does the words "The ninth barrier cannot exist!" relates to Talos or is it just purely an inside joke like "Where's the money in that?"

To be fair, race mixing is kinda weird in elder scrolls. Children of mixed race unions take heavily after the mother, with a few traits from the fathers race.
>>43540205
I don't know where this is from but if this Jobasha is the same Jobasha that runs a shop in Vivec City, I'd say this reminds me of what they call "Thjizzrini". The Khajiit have no feeling of obligation to mundane rules and laws, they are concerned with the "whole" and not with how individual constituent parts move or must move. The "Elven lie" might be his way of calling out the Tamrielic pantheon of Aedra as gods, creators and founders of reality, instead of Doom Drum. Plus, it makes sense since somehow, this pantheon empowers only those who have created it whereas those who choose not to partake in it are called heretics or at best, beasts ignorant of truth.
Daedra worship, or at least reverence, should be quite normal for Khajiit in the 3rd Era since everybody has a somewhat clear idea of who Azura is, especially more cultured folk like Jobasha. Daedra worship is ostracized by the Elven Liars since it takes away the right of distributing "truth" away from them and gives it back to the individuals.
If you know what's good for you, and if you know better than to abide by silly concepts such as mundane law, you'll challenge the rule-makers by choosing to disbelieve the illusion of safety: if you give yourself freely to the Lie and the Liars, you have no choice but to be their property, but if you try to reclaim your right to yourself by trafficking with those who offer knowledge, Princes in this case, you will at least be sure that you freely chose to take the risk of being someone else's property.Or maybe I'm a huge SJW for Daedra worshippers

I have a question on the dragon variations.
So there's your vanilla standard issue dragon. Forget that, let me make a rank list based on power.
0: Skeletal Dragon
1: Dragon
2: Blood Dragon
3: Frost Dragon
4: Elder Dragon
5: Ancient Dragon
6: Serpentine Dragon
7: Revered Dragon
8: Legendary Dragon
What's the fluff difference though. Why are Blood Dragons called Blood Dragons? I can get that Elder Dragons being called that if they're older than most dragons, but why are Revered Dragons and Legendary Dragons more stronk than Ancient Dragons? Wouldn't an Ancient Dragon be revered and legendary by default? Am I overthinking game mechcanics or what? If Alduin is the first dragon, would Legendary Dragons be the next batch born?
Also, how does Akatosh make dragons? Does he spit and say "become dragon, spit"?

>>43541203
>What's the fluff difference though
There is none. Bethesda just needed something to denote power levels so dragon difficulty would scale with the player.
Also, dragons are "made" by Akatosh per say, they are all just miniscule fragments of the Aka-Tusk, which extended to Akatosh in particular due to the Dance of the Selectives
Also Skeleton Dragons are just normal skeletons, but using Dragon bones instead of mortal bones. Said skeletal dragons may have either invested thier soul into a Dragon Priest, got their bones animated after another Dovahkiin ate their soul, or the Dragon learned himself a form of necromancy (like Dhurnivir) and put a fallback on his body.
Or Hoaga or some other Tongue did it with his Mud-mouth Thu'um and filled them with dirt to reanimate.

>>43541534
I'm rusty with the lore. So based on >>43541484
Akatosh and Lorkhan were in the same heart, and the amulet of kings is a soul gem for Dragonborns. That's I've gathered so far and I suspect there's more.
>>43541631
>>43541655
>>43541649
Not a soulgem
>>43541677
Sorry for the wrongness. Time to look at all of these screenshots so I can understand Elder Scrolls lore more.
>>43541677
>>43541649
>Akatosh and Lorkhan were in the same heart
Not quite. Lorkhan trapped his soul into Aka-Tusk's, making them one and mimicking Anu and Padhome. While you are technically right about the Amulet, the the reason why all the emperors are Dragonborn is because Aka makes you DB as part of your covenant with him. Also it's less of the actual "souls" and more of the memories accumulated.
It also works as the control core for the Artificial Ada (robot-shezzarine) Pelinel Whitestrake since he came from the sci-fi future of the Middle Dawn AU where Reman became the baddest mofo Space Emperor ever, until the dance of the Selectives ended.
>>43541698
>>43541698
'S cool, when it comes to TES lore, everyone's incorrect most of the time
>>43540098
Well technically, as long as he actually believe that he's going to sovnegarde when he dies he will go to sovnegarde.
People forget the whole dreaming thing of souls and people in tes.
>>43541775
And that Sovngarde isn't in Aetherius.
Where did they get that in the first place anyway?
>>43541741
Okay. So it's a book that lets you see the memories of your relatives in a way? >>43541771
Thanks, Anon. I just got done with >>43541536
So Akatosh, Talos, Lorkhan, the Last Dragon Born and Sithis is sort of all the same person?
>>43541785
Like how the khajit colonized the moon, they dreamed themselves it trough drug induced half-sleep hallucination.
>>43541743
On my phone. I'm guessing that's a library?
>>43541795
>relatives
Not all the emperors are relatives anon, and the Covenant of Akatosh can be extended to any that are seen worthy and are chosen by the Amulet. Heck, Hjalti has no relations to the previous Empires, and his direct line ended only a few generation later.
Plus on of the most beloved of the emperors of the Septim Dynasty was a Dunmeri woman, and the next heir was her son via her Breton consort

Both are wrong, its Redguard
So I'm going to sum up everything I've learned. I'm probably going to get everything all wrong. Come CHIM or madness, I'm going to do it anyway. Lorkhan betrayed Aka and took his heart, said heart fused with his, and when it was taken out it allowed creation to be a thing. Aka was broken into eight pieces but all the same person. Talos is Lorkhan but is also Akatosh, and Lorkhan is also Sithis. The Grey Beards told Talos to remember the color of betrayal referring to his betrayal of himself as Lorkhan when he betrayed Aka. Talos is the mightiest being in existence. The Last Dragonborn is an aspect of Talos and Lorkhan. Miraak wanted to create a new world where he can mantle the All-Maker. Am I going good so far? The Convention will happen again when the world ends, and the same gods will return to their original forms. I got that right? A new world will be born just so Alduin can destroy it when the time is right just so another new world can be born and he'll rinse and repeat. Would he be around for the new world? Also the Last Dragonborn is fighting against himself(Alduin) because he's a fragment of a schizophrenic god.
>>43540475
I thought elves worshiped their ancestors?
>>43542703
>eight pieces
Incorrect, though not your fault.
Unknown how many pieces Aka broke into, the image(S) just used 8 because 8 is a thing that occurs semi-often
>>43542703
Sorry mate, but no. Most of that aside from the Miraak bit is wrong. Though you are getting closer.
>>43542801
Dang it. So everything else was correct-ish more or less?
>>43542819
Progress. I am making progress.
>>43542774
That's just the Dunmer.
>>43542846
I would give you better critique, but I'm on phone. All il say is to first study >>43541575
And make your way from there
If you were dropped into the Imperial city, race of your choosing, with all your knowledge of the cosmology/magic/history of the world you have now, how would you go about impacting the setting?
>>43542997
Well, considering I know things which shouldn't be known, and I just invaded the Godhead's dream, I'd probably either Zero-Sum, Amaranth, become a Dagoth-esque dream zombie (do my head would probably explode with enlightenment) or get forcibly ejected from the dream as soon as I arrive
>>43543052
>Dark Phantom Casu-el has invaded
>>43542703
>Talos is Lorkhan but is also Akatosh, and Lorkhan is also Sithis
In as much, say, Rei III is LILITH in NGE, though not an accurate comparison.
>The Last Dragonborn is an aspect of Talos and Lorkhan
One by being a Shezzarine and one by being a Dragonborn (correct me if I'm wrong, which I'm fairly certain I am)
>The Convention will happen again when the world ends
This particular end of the world you're referring to is when Alduin eats the world literally, and resets the Kalpa into the Convention, yes.
The gods will differ, though.
Like Herma-Mora or Dagon, forget which, wasn't one in the last Kalpa.
>A new world will be born just so Alduin can destroy it when the time is right just so another new world can be born and he'll rinse and repeat.
Actually he was supposed to eat it already, but because it's the Last Kalpa he decided fuck that and ruled over men. Them he got shunted forward in time, and LDB (who is the LAST Dragonborn because self-fulfilling prophecy) kicked his arse. That caused Alduin to go and rejoin Akatosh (because Akatosh > LDB) and thus making this the Last Kalpa.
>Would he be around for the new world?
Yeah, he are Nirn in the previous Kalpas because that's his thing.
There's another "end of the world" thing, but that's CODA stuff and people complain about it.
>>43543124
>that pic
>>43543124
So how's Akatosh going to treat Alduin now? Simply absorb him or punish him and let him go with orders to not fool around, and get to work on eating the world like a demented Pac Man?

>>43543266
Supposedly, Alduin is on extended time out for being a lazy jerk and abusing his time on Nirn. When Aka needs him, he'll let him out of time out
>>43543307
So when will that be? If the world becomes grimdark enough that an apocalypse could be the only merciful thing to do?
>>43543304
I can dig it.
>>43542864
And Altmer, even if Deadra worship is becoming increasingly prevalent in the Summurset Isles.
And Bosmer, who worship Y'ffre.
>>43543342
All Kalpas end after a certain amount of time. Supposedly either Lorkhan or Magnus programmed it into the main central processor of Nirn

7: Create a 4chan for mages.
8: Send Nazeem to the clouds and ask him "Do you get to the clouds often? Of course not, gravity hates you". Think of something better as he falls to the ground.
9: Fix the Falmer. Maybe turn them into an Elven Übermensch for laughs and giggles. Blame their misfortune on time traveling Thalmor. Watch Thalmor die.

Once I've established myself, I'd probably want to travel to exotic places. See Red Mountain, go on a pilgrimage to High Hrothgar, visit Necrom, and study in the Temple of the Two Moons Dance.

You're not Sithis. You're being manipulated by Mephala.
>>43546097
God damnit.
>>43546662
See the Rei III & LILITH comparison from precious post.
Technically in some faroff way, sure, why not.
But really no.
>>43546685
But if Sithis is Lorkhan who is Aka-Tusk who is Akatosh who is me then am I not Sithis? Or did the anons above lie to me?
>>43546712
Well, yeah technically a scisophrenic alter-ego slaughtering other alter-egos while being guided by yet another alter-egos but that's not AS fun.
>Who is Ebonarm
He's Reman. Their names even sound the same.
I remember that someone said that there was a book in Daggerfall that was about a peasant getting his intelligence boosted until he could bend reality. Does someone have it?
>>43547121
The Real Barenziah, Part III.
>>43546812
Lorkhan is not Sithis. Sithis does not really exist, he's just Anu's memory of Padhome manifesting as the concept of Void, Nothingness, and Oblivion
Lorkhan is tangentially connected to Sithis, because he is a Padhomic, and one of the most powerful Padhomics, whereas Aka-Tusk is Anu's self-insert into the dream, and as such is one of the most powerful of the Anuics.
Lorkhan ripped his soul out of his heart, and bound it inside Aka's soul when he wasn't looking. Aka Splintered after Convention due to him and the other Aedra getting depowered to power Nirn, and Alduin is one of those splinters.
Akatosh, one of the other splinters and the largest one, empowers the Dovahkiin by inserting a piece of his soul into him, and the Dovahkiin is also an Avatar of Lorkhan by virtue of being a Shezzarine, so within the LDB both Aka and Lorkhan are one.
Sithis, by virtue of being the reflection of Padhome in Anu's dream, is usually seen as the source of most all the Padhomic entities, but he himself does not really exist save in theory. Hence your confusion.
Really, the whole Schizophrenia metaphor is horrible and you shouldn't pay any attention to it. It's more like one God fusing himself into another God, causing the previous God to shatter into smaller Gods.
>>43546170
Shit, nothing really close at all?
>>43547296
>so within the LDB both Aka and Lorkhan are one.
Funny, last thing that did this was TalOS
>>43547421
Talos had the advantage of having Two incredibly powerful shezzarines and a Dovahkiin, all of which had exposure to the Numidium, and one of which was directly exposed to the Heart of Lorkhan, and they were all able to get together and emulate Interplay.
The closest the LDB gets is through defeating Miraak and taking his soul, and even then he is is still missing 1/3 of the Interplay and the most exposure he's gotten to Lorkhan is via Tsun and Sovengard.
The only way he can get close is if he where to somehow slay and consume Herma-Mora as well, then he could possibly mantle Aka due to his exposure to both Alduin and the artifacts of Auriel
>>43546553
sorry, took a hard nap
Anything really. I love TES lore but I only know the surface stuff because I was one of those people who never read any of the in-game books. Y'know- stupid people.
>>43547752
>Dat Strong Nord Woman
Oh my.
So apparently TESO is going to have a giant war between daedric princes, taking place in the Clockwork City.
So, does anyone actually understand all this stuff or is it just vast assumptions?
>want to come up with homebrew RPG system
>I can only think of something that's basically TESIII's system of skills and attributes
Is this bad, or was TESIII good enough for me to largely parrot it?
>>43547590
Is possible to mantle Alduin?
>>43542997
Altmer or Breton.

Morrowind. Fortifies his intelligence to mathematically disprove somebody's existence.
http://uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:The_Four_Suitors_of_Benitah
>>43547964
Perhaps, but I'd imagine the requisites would be rather difficult to go through, especially for a mortal.
>>43547960
Skills and attributes don't come from Morrowind. You should probably familiarise yourself with more rpgs before trying to design your own.
>>43548010
>>43548015
I like to think of it was possible to absorb Alduin's soul LDB mantling him could be a thing. So that would mean somewhere later on in life you become the bringer of the end.
>>43548021
I mean more or less the exact system in Morrowind, with the same attributes etc. just with minor changes
>>43547977
End of the Orsinium DLC, daedra appear and tell you there's gonna be a big war in Sotha Sil.
>>43548063
No, that's not how it works.
You ARE Akatosh. At least in soul. Akatosh is split into many beings that won't rejoin.
>>43547964
I'll mantle whatever the fuck I want
Can you mantle the Dwemer? Let's fucking try
>>43548136
Sounds like something Sotha tried, and somewhat succeeded in by creating Memory, though she's more of a Mantling of Nir.
>>43548094
too many dlc and too expensive
>>43548124
>>43548136
I'm sorry. I feel like an idiot now. So how does mantling really work so I won't be an idiot in the future? How did the champion of Cyrodyil manage to do to Sherogorth?
>>43548161
Sotha Sil was probably as far from the dwemer as you can get. He went the opposite, researching and loving the world that was made, rather than seeking to leave it behind.
Probably why he never achieved CHIM or otherwise. If Nirn was a cage, the dwemer were whiny bitches that kept trying to rock the cage, people like Talos and Vivec decided to try and unlock the cage and show people out, and Sotha Sil was like "Damn this cage is really well put together" and decided to start researching cage-building.
>>43548246
From my understanding, Mantling is essentially taking over the role of/replacing some important figure/god/concept. You're not necessarily ACTUALLY this thing, but for all intents and purposes, you are.
I've heard that in Morrowind, you're not necessarily an actual re-incarnation of Indoril Nevervar, but you Mantled him and that's why Dagoth Ur calls you Nerevar.
>>43548329
So you're a stand in while the actual thing is on lunch break?
>>43542997
I'm not a big loremaster like people in this thread
being slightly aware of the dream wouldn't zero sum me right?
>>43548346
No, the actual thing is gone, you're the replacement. I think it's almost always a forceful replacement.
Another instance is the Shivering Isles DLC. The Champion of Cyrodiil mantled Sheogorath because Jyggalag was coming back and Sheo didn't want this to happen (twist: Sheo IS Jyg, other Daedra turnd Jyg into Sheo way back in the day) so you went through some mythic bullshit and essentially took Sheo's place, so now Sheo (You) and Jyg (Old Sheo) exist.
>>43548246
If you become so much like somebody, that the godhead confuses the two of you for the same person, or "good enough." to play that role.
Sheogorath lets you take his position as the Prince of Madness, you get the can and outfit, and everything. You are now Sheogorath and he is you.
You defeat Umaril and wear Pelinel's Divine futuristic armor. You are now so much like him, that you are him, or at least you're good enough of a replacement.
Since both of these people are you, they are now each other. That's why Pelinel is insane.
>>43548398
Define slightly.
>>43548346
Imagine reality is a doorman who is waiting for a celebrity he has never seen before to come. All the doorman has is a checklist of unique features describing this celebrity. He knows the celebrity has purple eyes, a roman nose, brown hair, and wears a leather jacket.
If a random pedestrian who meets all those criteria is walking by, the doorman could easily mistake them for that celebrity.
Replace pedestrian with Mantler, celebrity with Mantle, and doorman with reality.
>>43548094
>and tell you there's gonna be a big war in Sotha Sil.
This will be rather embarrassing when their DLC won't even be 1/3rd as big/good as yours.
>>43548446
basically this webm >>43541743
>>43548487
I just hope they undwemer Sotha Sil's city, it's just a big dwemer dungeon right now.
>>43548414
Will Jyg be brought up again?
>>43548422
So identity theft in a way?
>>43548470
I'm getting it now.
While we are at mantling, did I get it wrong or is Mannimarco mantling himself?
>>43548470
Has Natalie Portman mantled Keira Knightley?
>>43548536
Imagine you cosplayed someone SO HARD you became them.
That's Mantling.
>>43548586
How do you mantle yourself?
>>43548651
>cosplaying so hard you become them
Kek. It all makes sense now.
>>43548665
Well due to the warp in the west Mannimarco kinda ascended to godhood but also did not. Mannimarco, the King of Worms stayed on Nirn while Mannimarco, the Necromancers' Moon now orbits Arkay
>>43548697
So he's trying to assume the identity of the the God version of himself?
>>43548720
That's how I understood it. But I'm not sure if I am right, I'm not a loremaster.
>>43548737
I'd imagine it being the case.
>>43541367
The Halls of the Colossus
>>43548697
That must have been a real kick in the dick. Imagine achieving the impossible and becoming a god! Except now there is two of you and you're the mortal one, so you get to watch the god version of you go off and do all the things you wanted to do.
>>43549117
Actually the God version is mindless but has all the power while the mortal version is the mind but lost most of the power.
So it's actually kinda worse.
>>43548665
>>43548586
By definition, you cannot mantle yourself.
>>43549227
There are two Mannimarcos however
>>43548513
I don't really know. Some scholars are at least somewhat aware of the nature of the dream, so probably not.
>>43549242
Yes, one is a Lich, one is a God. They are the two different result of the Daggerfall endings. Since all the endings of Daggerfall are both true and false, they both are true in the same sense as Schrodinger's Cat.
No mantling.
>>43549309
Wouldn't the Godhead confuse them with each other? They are still the same being right?
>>43549309
Fucking Daggerfall.
>>43549420
No, the Dragonbreak separates them because Numiduim fucks up time.
Yes/No.
>>43549450
It's a pretty good game. Got a whole lot of the lore rolling, especially a very vague hint at The Dichotomy.
>>43549537
I just got it for free from GoG. How do I into daggerfall? The controls are really annoying right now.

>>43547399
You can put together humans out of a mix of the more mundane looking fantasy stuff and historical ranges, and get plenty of wizard types that'll look fitting, but getting things to match the beast races or short wood elves or the more notable armour types like daedric (without it being covered in skulls and shit), Dwemer (especially Morrowind's), and especially any of the Dunmer styles of light/medium armour, yeah nah you're fucked.
>>43549643
>Remove Imperial kebab
>lel happy Thalmor.jpeg
>>43549611
It takes a lot of getting used to and a different mindset. Older videogames are a lot different from new videogames.
>>43549611
Switch it from Arena shitty right-click swing to Morrowind+ style FPS mode in the options menu. It feels so much better.
When you get out of the starting dungeon, you should get some sort of letter saying to meet somebody somewhere by some date. DO IT. If you miss the meeting, the woman will leave and you'll have to blunder about until you run into the main quest, and since Daggerfall is massive, that'll take some time.
>>43549720
Daggerfall plays pretty similarly to Morrowind if you set it up right.
answering a question from previous thread:
varliance
i guess it is an energy from stars stored in varla stones. so 'axes and arrows wrought with long varliance' would be weapons with powerful enchantments
>>43549643
>remove Imperial kebab.
>Imperial
>kebab
Romans aren't kebab buddy.
>>43549896
>Romans aren't kebab

But Nibanese is the best type of Imperial.
>>43549896
>>43549643
>Not knowing that Khajiit is Kebab.
Shit, son. What are you doing?
>>43550144
No, no, Khajiit is not kebab,but Khajiit can sell you kebab for exceptional price of only twelve septims, guaranteed internal parasite-free!
>>43550355
Cut-Me-Own-Tail Di'Blar?
>>43550410
Khajiit's wares are a truly magnificent bargain, and that is shaving Khajiit's own fur!
>>43549927
>Eastern Roman Empire still counts as Roman.
Romans aren't kebab, kebab comes to the Eastern Roman Empire and destroys it then kebabifies the land that used to be Roman.
>>43550355
Literal kebab. Redguards are a close second for Kebab of TES.
>>43544915

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that, but for what it's worth the Arcane Arts supplement already contains rules for Shehai Shen She Ru and the Thu'um.

Most of that would be destruction. The fire and crater I mean.

Bretons and Forsworn specifically.
