ACCESS GRANTED RELEASING MEMOSPORE


Lygosomatic Memospore directed to the Elder Council of Ut-Cyrod, in Truth, in Mastery, and in accordance to the Word.

Forgive the abrupt and doubtless distressing telepathic sending, my most honored Lords, but we of Temple Zero feel that these newest discoveries ought to be communicated at once. I speak for the Order as a whole in saying that this is a matter of utmost relevance.

Our eldest sorcerer-scryers, in their act of projecting their echoing Animus across the hyperagonal, endless depths of the Mundus, have found truly bewildering revelations regarding the Mythic Song and its contents. Strange alignments of confused serpentine-stars, dragons devouring their own tail in amnesia, and the very Bones of the Earth reverberating at the turning of the very Wheels of Heavens.

We humbly request that the mnemonic-encrypto documents attached to this recording be downloaded into material form, and brought to the attention of his majesty the Emperor and the Moth Priesthood, who must preserve these texts within their Akashakalpic Libraries.

This is no laughing matter, my honored Lords. The knowledge shared herein may change the face of Tamriel Prime forevermore. May Xarxes guide you in studying these words with the attention they deserve.

Mathieu of Schwarzwelt, Archmage-Arbitrator of Temple Zero Society

    Lygosomatic Memospore in answer to the Archmages of Temple Zero, in Truth, in Royalty, and in accordance to the Covenant.
    Greetings, honored Mathieu. This one speaks for the Elder Council of Empire-Actual, and informs you on the recent matters. This one tells you that we have received the echo-mnemic files attached to your Dreamsleeve sending, and have found it most fascinating. Even now, as I compose this recording, the Moth Priests pour their minds onto its decrypted mysteries. There is much debate in White-Gold, and this one believes that it'll be a while until Imperial Libraries become silent again.
    Though not all reception has been positive. There are some who scoff and mock at the revelations of your texts, dismissing them as the collective lunacy of a degraded order; whilst others simply find them incomprehensible and worthless drivel. This one if not among them, rather, he find the ideas of your writings rather interesting... Even if confusing, and a times reminiscent of the ramblings of a cat high on Moon Sugar... Nevertheless, this one has taken the liberty to file a copy of your texts to the Mane in Elsweyr. No doubt he'll be very interested in them.
    Expect to hear further messages from the Elder Council in the following weeks.

    Considering how Yagrum was deformed and bloated by corpus, I’m not suprised that there were Dwemer with better physiques and designs.

    Well, not entirely. I do find some of the environments and settlements to be visually pleasing.

    I personally can’t stand many of the enemy designs, character models, and armor designs. Especially the armor designs... I felt like throwing up after I saw the Ordinator armor.

    Well, I do and I’ve criticized this MMO enough to cut my play through short.

    It’s hardly did much to entice me. Vivec losing his power early was rather stupid in my opinion.
    So, as I’ve stated. Not enough of a justification. Lore is nice for expanding upon the world and the series in general, but it doesn’t save a game from mediocrity. I have always enjoyed reading in-game text, but I did so while also enjoying the game’s narrative and world. If I don’t enjoy the game, why should I bother playing? I could simply read these written documents on the UESP.
    It’s musical score was rather dull in my opinion as well. Compared to the likes of Jeremy Soule, or even the charm of Arena and Daggerfall, it falls flat on its face.

    Edited by Keeweed 21:24, November 20, 2018

    There's a problem with the High 6-A calc. It assumes that Nirn is a planet equivalent in size to Earth when this is clearly inaccurate. Nirn is it's own plane of reality. Shaking this reality would be more along the lines of High 3-A or Low 2-C .

    Talos according to a casual Elder Scrolls fan: Oh, the big viking god the Nords worship, who conquered Tamriel before ascending to godhood. The Thalmor banned his worship because they are racist and hate humans.
    Talos according to an Elder Scrolls lorebeard: Tal(OS) is the Many-Headed Oversoul of three separate Shezarrines - mortal incarnations of Lorkhan - who merged into one through an Enantiomorph and the usage of the Brass God Numidium. Talos became a god when he realized that existence was an illusion and attained CHIM, and in the process mantled Lorkhan. The Thalmor have banned his worship as the first step in a multi-layered plan to erase the concept of men from the multiverse.

    01:39, November 21, 2018

  • Keeweed
    one thing I’ve always found funny about the elder scrolls is how almost every race is racist yet people only hate when nords do it. Dark elves in Skyrim complain about racism but literally everyone in Morrowind instantly hated you on sight for being an outsider even if you were a dark elf

    Depends on who you are and what you're seeking to get from the prince.
    Meridia is probably the "safest" Prince to worship as long as you are not in any way remotely close to undead.

    03:27, December 7, 2018

  • Monarch Laciel
    And yet Meridia has no problem giving you Dawnbreaker if you're a vampire... probably because you're likely to kill yourself with it.

    03:33, December 7, 2018

    That's a result of how the game works and having to allow every player to be able to experience everything.

    And the explosion from Dawnbreaker hurts you if you're a vampire so maybe she's just like "**** it, they'll kill themselves with it eventually"

    The Thalmor want to deactivate the Towers across the Mundus so that it may be swallowed by Oblivion (as the Towers keep it at bay) and for all things to return to the formless and timeless state of the Dawn Era.
    As for your second question, Jesus, that'd be a long ass reply. And sort of subjective as well, given that everyone might view the Princes differently.

    Because they've always seen being bound to a mortal form as a downgrade wrought upon them unjustly. Which is also why Lorkhan is usually portrayed unkindly in their religions.

    To kill Man is to reach Heaven, from where we came before the Doom Drum's iniquity. When we accomplish this, we can escape the mockery and long shame of the Material Prison.
    To achieve this goal, we must:
    1) Erase the Upstart Talos from the mythic. His presence fortifies the Wheel of the Convention, and binds our souls to this plane.
    2) Remove Man not just from the world, but from the Pattern of Possibility, so that the very idea of them can be forgotten and thereby never again repeated.
    3) With Talos and the Sons of Talos removed, the Dragon will become ours to unbind. The world of mortals will be over. The Dragon will uncoil his hold on the stagnancy of linear time and move as Free Serpent again, moving through the Aether without measure or burden, spilling time along the innumerable roads we once travelled. And with that we will regain the mantle of the imperishable spirit.

    Talos is the guy who betrayed his own King, killing him and making it appear like he was innocent so he could take the Throne, and then later betrayed and manipulated his two closest allies so he could capture their souls and use them to further his war efforts.
    Talos is also the guy who after invading and conquering Hammerfell used violent authority to oppress all rebellion and force the Redguards to conform to his new rule. He also had a sexual relationship with a Dunmer Queen, and when he found she was pregnant with his child he forced her to have an abortion because he didn't want to marry a non-human.
    Talos is also the guy who unleashed a giant Reality-Erasing Robot on Alinor and throughly massacrated the Altmer forces so badly the Aldmeri Dominion surrendered after one hour of conflict. This is practically the equivalent of responding to a war effort by throwing a nuclear bomb at the opposing country's capital.
    Talos also made use of state-enforced propaganda to seed prejudice and racism between humans and elves so the people of his Empire would be against the Altmer, and he also used propaganda to hide his own past and make himself look perfect and heroic.
    Oh, and there was also the time where Talos got rid of a rebel pirate by decapitating him and then doing some ventriloquism with his disembowed head, a jest he found so funny he ended up laughing out loud in Thu'um which killed all the people witnessing the act.
    I didn't make any of this.

    Hey is there someone that can explain to me some of the skill feats for the Elder Scrolls protagonist. Some of the feats I think are perfectly fine like defeating most of the ALMSIVI, however Alexandria completely lost her mind so I don’t know how much of a skill feat that would be. And the CoC defeating Umaril is a good skill feat. But then when have things like the Dragonborn “fighting” Tsun. I’m pretty sure he wasn’t really trying, he says he was testing your Might just to see if you could pass a bridge (if you try to pass that bridge Tsun or Shor can instantly one shot you with a random lightning bolt so it doesn’t make since for the Dovahkiin to be comparable to him when he can wipe you off the map with a thought).
    Many times the main characters are also physically powerful, which leads to things like the CoC and Dragonborn fighting Boethiah’s Champions, but the CoC was 4-C and the Dragonborn was 7-B so they just causally one shot everything and went on with there days. Like what skill feats does the Ebony Warrior have of he’s the strongest person the Dragonborn ever fights, shouldn’t he have one shot literally everything he ever ran across making all his adventures worthless (I mean a low 2-C vs 9 9-B bandits, I wonder why the low 2-C won). Now maybe these feats are better than I think they are, but ganging up on people and abusing their weaknesses seems to be an incredible common thing in Skyrim especially. Vs Alduin you gang up on him and spam dragonrend, vs Harkon the bow one shots a shield that’s vastly stronger than Harkon’s durability so I assume you one shot him with it aswell (he’s also high 6-A so he one shot anything he ever came across and thus has no skill feats). Vs Mercer you one shot by being 7-B and ganged up on him with a Daedric Prince also helping you out. Vs Miraak he had to power up repeatedly throughout the fight yet kept losing repeatedly meaning the Dragonborn was probably vastly above him from the beginning of that fight, he also had a Daedric Prince help him (and don’t say Mora didn’t help, he literally killed Miraak, if that doesn’t count as help I don’t know what does).
    Now once again maybe all these feats are a lot better than I think, but to me it seems there are many ways that don’t revolve around skill as ways to win the fights the heroes have been through. (Expect for the Nerevarine because Hircine pretty much said and shown you’re skilled, and ESO pretty much drools itself when talking about the Vestige “he’s so skilled that a nigh omniscient god remembered the greatest warriors of all time due to his skill” like Jesus ESO; ironically the Vestige’s best skill feats don’t make any sense, like Nocturnal had a 99% chance of wining so the Vestige couldn’t have won through skill and pretty much got carried by prisoner cosmology that whole time).
    Sorry for the long text, but skill feats in the Elder Scrolls have always felt lacking to me and I wish someone could explain them.

    Theres no reason why it wouldn't work they could literally retell the story of ESO with the play protagonists (thief, warrior nord and altmer mage) from their different perspective of the events.

    Short Answer: Magic Internet Email System.
    Long Answer: ...
    So there's this thing called the "Dreamsleeve" that is one of the vaguest and most obscure pieces of lore in the Elder Scrolls, so much so that it's almost never really defined in-depth. At least not directly.
    From what we do understand, though, the Dreamsleeve is an infinite "plane" of pure information and thought, existing in the deepest level of the Amaranth's Dream, essentially being the Godhead's own mindscape, the pure data from which the universe is structured.
    The Dreamsleeve is ALSO referred as the place to which souls wander after deaths, where all the memories and experiences that composed their last life are decomposed and recycled into pure energy, reducing the soul to its essential core so that it may become fresh for reincarnation.
    AND FOR SOME REASON the Dreamsleeve is also referred as a mental plane that particularly capable and attuned mages can reach into through heightened awareness. While reaching into the Dreamsleeve these mages can them convert messages (Be them texts, images, audio or "video" recordings) into raw data "upload" them to the plane as little things called "Memospores". They then can send forth ecrypted versions of these Memospores through the Dreamsleevee so that other mages can receive them, decrypt them with something called a "Cogitocode" and download the Memospore to see what it contains. If the encryption and decryption process isn't correctly executed the message can not only become garbled gibberish, but viewing it can actually bring damage to the mind of the downloading mage.
    TL;DR: The Dreamsleeve is an deep, infinite plane of pure information and thought where everything, even souls, are reduced to raw, basest data. Powerful mages can reach into their mindscape to send encrypted magic-emails with attached mnemic-files to other mages, who can them receive these emails, decrypted them, and see the messages they contain.

    Interesting, sounds like a weird metaphor for game development, or something. Apparently a lot of TES lore is metaphorical for game mechanics so I wouldn't be to surprised if it was.
    Also, what are the cosmology sources on the higher-D planets? Is it from the Sermons of Vivec? Also, where could I read more about the Dwemer? I find their history pretty fascinating.

    03:53, August 5, 2020

  • Matthew Schroeder
    @Amelia
    I'm not so sure on it being a metaphor for game development, honestly don't see the connection. Interesting take.
    As for the assertion that a lot of TES Lore being allegorical for Game Mechanics, that mainly comes from a decade-old post called "The Metaphysics of Morrowind" that concludes that CHIM is Console Commands / Modding the Game" and show various points in the 36 Lessons of Vivec where cheeky references to game mechanics are made. The article is actually very interesting and a good read but it's not the only interpretation of CHIM and certainly not the one Michael Kirkbride was going for when he was developing all the Thelema-inspired Mythos.
    Second, the source from Higher-Dimensional Planets comes from a 1998 Text simply titled Cosmology:
    https://www.imperial-library.info/content/cosmology
    It's backed up by other sources, of course, but this is where the whole Infinity Lore started.
    As for reading about the Dwemer, **** mate, there's a lot of places to go. Lots of in-universe books. I'm sure some Lore Podcast with sources has stuff on them.
    Also there are levels of Dwemer Lore to learn. It's one thing to talk about their general culture and technology and it's another thing to talk about Creational Subgradience and Tonal Architecture.

    stupid question, but why i think the bretons are a far weaker and uninteresting race compared to the others, like the argonians that have a connection with a hive mind tree and were capable of invading deadlands during oblivion crisis or the nords and redguard that can bend reality via voice or the way of the sword

    Edited by Zhepar 17:50, August 5, 2020

  • Ricsi-viragosi
    Not sure if only nords being able to use the voice was confirmed. Well, obviously non-nords could potentially learn to use the voice like the dwemer, but even without that I don't think it's unreasonably to say a Breton (or a red guard like the ebony warrior, for the matter) could learn it as well.


    Still, Bretons as a race are only the outcome of the elves being pillaged and such, so obviously they have less roots than the other races.

    A question about Khajiit, are they related to the woodelves?
    The woodelves have their whole code (never hurt plants, eat all of your slain enemies, etc.) specifically to allow them to retain their humanoid shape, or else they would become constantly morphing from one animal form to another.
    Khajiit have one form that is explicitly a lookalike to woodelves (except they have face... tattoos, paintings? Can't remember.), and their other forms are various levels of cat.

    17:55, August 5, 2020

  • Ogbunabali
    Khajiit aren't related to bosmer, biologically at least if that's the question. They aren't considered mer or men, they're beastfolk like the imga. Although there have been thories that say they're actually elves altmer are just shaved khajiit<\s> though not much more than that.
    Also anyone could learn the thu'um, but nords have an affinity to it and used to have a whole culture because of Kyne and all.

    I personally find it a but silly and immersion breaking for the lore to go out of its way to go against any and all gameplay.
    If they lack the technology to make characters perform certain things, saying they can destroy entire universes and then forcing you to play like a 9-B gets annoying quick. I prefer stories to be told in a way you can, not in a way you would want to.

    Same with that one wizard you meet in the dragonborn DLC. He was alive since the Nerevarine and before that, and supposedly looks down on you even as the arch-mage, and yet he downright states that dwarven animunculi and hunting for Briarhearts is a dangerous thing that he prefers not to do. And him being awfully arrogant is fine, but he isn't, and I'm supposed to take the fact that he is one of the strongest mages in the world.

    Hey I’m kinda wondering is nocturnal or jyggalag the strongest daedric prince? I’ve remember in Oblivion Jyggalag is constantly stated to be the strongest Daedric Prince, but I also remember there was something Nocturnal did that actually makes her stronger. I’m just curious because I find it weird that Jyggalag is stated like 8 times to be the strongest but apparently Nocturnal is stronger.

    i find it's somewhat forgivable. Surely Bethesda aim to creates a good game that get the player immerse in the world of Skyrim, not flexing the divine powers of Aedra and Daedra. And the game is targetes the players who also have zero ideas about the lore, so they dont care about the powerful things like Alduin eat the timelines or stuffs like that.
    Beside, we have mods, if we want to go full godly then there are mods for that. There's alway a mod to fix Skyrim to however we like.

    Yeah, but I feel like story and game are two things that should be connected in an open world game. Its not like every prisoner has to one-up the last, they could have just embraced how big of a downgrade the Rend Dragon is for Alduin so that he becomes immensely weak, and say that dragons are not as strong as they would normally be because they just now rose from eons without a physical body.

    I'm pretty sure Jyggalag at his peak should have been capable of defeating her just fine.

    She is strong no doubts about that, however i believe jyggalag is stronger especially when one considers that all the other princes had to join to stop him from keep expanding his realm and taking more and more parts of oblivion

    Neloth resisted the effects of Bend Will, while the Dovahkiin didn't at first. That's the indication why Matthew gave him Low 2-C.

    I am pretty sure that it specifically was a problem because he was the strongest, and that his abilities were quiet a contradiction to the chaotic nature of the other Oblivion Planes.
    Plus, as Shaegorath, he did pretty much outwit and "defeat" them in some fights they had, though they were not really straight up one on one.

    I think that was still done through bend will.
    However, when does he resist it? I do not remember him directly interacting with it. He does talk about you if you are caught in it, but I don't see why he'd need to plain interact with the rocks and be affected.
    Plus, his reaction to the concept of village (or is it city?) wide mindhax was "imagine what one could do with such a power", which definitly didn't feel like "reality destroying being" either.

    I can't remember him actually talking about what happened, beyond not being able to stop the influence of the spell on others and that he wouldn't even if he could.
    Beyond that,I think he only either admired the ability ("Imagine the power of being able to command entire villages to do your bidding. Imagine what I could do with that power."), or admitted that Miraak would have been a nuicance to him (And now I'm not even mentioning the fact that now we'll never know what would have happened when Miraak returned.

    And I don't think the power that Miraak used on those stones was Bend Will shout. I mean, a single word of power from the Dovahkiin's Bend Will shout was able to completely shatter the influence Miraak had on the All-Maker Stones. At that point in time, Miraak's thu'um was still clearly more powerful than the Dovahkiin's, so it makes no sense for the Dovahkiin to be able to dispel said influence with a single word of power.
    And yeah, any notion of Neloth being able to resist Bend Will shout is completely shattered when in-game you can affect him with said shout.

    The gameplay is sometimes unreliable. For example, you can use Dragonrend on every dragon, while Bend Will doesn't work on certain quest scripted dragons.
    Undead is also immune to Bend Will in the game, which it is contradictory to what it can do in lore. Pete Hines has said that it is depending on certain aspects of gameplay but the lore absolutely takes precedence over the gameplay.

    True to some extent, but I really can't remember when he mentionts resisting Bend Will, and the wiki with all his quotes doesn't seem to have anything about that either.
    The fact that the mind control that Miraak uses is inferior to a one word bend will also doesn't help.
    And Neloth really is disillusioned from how powerful he is when every times he mentions his power he either diminshes you (and he is nowhere near above The Last Dragonborn at their peak), dismisses other's powers (like Miraak), and is still unwilling to take pretty meh challanges (It's rather hard to believe the man that views traveling in Skyrim, fighting Briarhearts, attacks from the Ashen ones and Dwemer ruins as dangerous and needing a lackey to act as a meat shield is also someone that can destroy all of reality, defeat someone superior to Alduin, and be immune to a full Bend Will shout)
    But a few of the profiles do really confuse me like that. Like the giants, whose High 8-C calc assumes violent fragmantation for fragments the size of someone's head, or some people scaling to creating starry skied nights when stars don't even exist in Elder Scrolls.

    Stars do exist in the Elder Scrolls. Mankar has one in his dimension and Jagar Tharn also had one in his dimension. Even out of their dimensions we have seen regular stars in the Elder Scrolls, there are just holes in reality along with the regular stars.

    But, like, are they specified to be giant balls of burning gas and plasma? And when are normal stars in the sky proper mentioned?Those are legitimate questions btw, I am still pretty new at a lot of the lore.

    Not specified but it can be easily assumed. The fact that galaxies exist on numerous Pocket Planes is proof that the stars in those realms and the stars on Mundus can't be the same.

    22:36, August 8, 2020

  • Keeweed
    As far as I’m aware they aren’t mentioned but there are multiple official videos that go through space in the Elder Scrolls and they go past stars in the sky, Jagar Tharn’s is also shown to just be a regular star since I believe that part of the lore came before the holes in reality part.
    However I do agree with you when it comes to giant calc that it probably should use fragmentation, also I think the giant’s size is too large in the calc. It uses the giants lore size but the feat in question has the giant be only 2 or 2.5 times larger than the regular human in the shot instead of 4 times like the calc uses. However there are multiple statements of mages and daedra destroying large buildings/castles so I’m not sure if the giant getting downgraded would change too much.

    When does he say any of this?
    The closest I can remember is him saying something along the lines of "long journeys across Skyrim can be dangerous". Which is very true even for someone like him. Especially a prominent member of house Telvanni, who knows how many other dunmer want his head.

    He mentions needing you for journeying under in the dwemer ruin specifically to deal with the dangerous, dirty work as well.
    For him claiming to be superior to the last dragonborn, if you are an Arch-Mage and bring that up, he laughs at you and tells you he could become your master once his other apprentice finished his apprenticeship in a few decades. He also generally talks to you as an inferior person regardless, because arrogant demeanor and all that.
    For Miraak, he describes the man as a "potential nuisance" when he made it clear that he knew little of him beyond the fact that he worked for Mora and that his influence was spreading and controlling entire villages, where he mentions just how much he could do with such a power.
    He does mention how he has reached the apex of enchanting for being able to make staves all on his own. Not sure if him saying that he is better but doesn't want you to become as good as you is an excuse to keep acting superior once you hit 90 enchanting level or not.
    I mean, if he scales to some other sorcerer that'd be fine, but putting him above the Last Dragonborn, or even the first one, seems to just be taking his arrogance at face value.

    22:53, August 8, 2020

    By dangerous he likely means the environmental type, within the context in which it was said. Considering the biggest danger in the whole dungeon would be the drowning or it collapsing he would need a fodder to act like a guinea pig for traps and what not, the dwemer enemies weren't that note worthy.
    Ok? He's arrogant, but he's right. He's a much better wizard with hundreds of years of experience and research more than you.
    He said he "would've" become a nuisance iirc. As in, of he gets free and goes on a world conquest, he'd definitely interfere with his work. Which, again, is true.
    You're acting like Miraak mind controlling a whole island+ dragons isn't impressive.
    That's just because gameplay wise he can't teach you anymore for balance purpse. And interacting with anyone above their level cap will tell you "I can't teach yoi anymore" this is just his in character way of telling you that.
    He's extremely arrogant, that's pretty evident, but he's not lying.

    You are better than him at the warding part of spells at the very least, and that still doesn't mean he is superior in power to the dragonborn. There are a lot of sorcerers with hundreds of years worth of study after all, and The Last Dragonborn's knowledge of spells is pretty limited (they know nothing of mysticism, nor the Damage Attribute part of Destruction magic), but using that as reasoning for raw power is pretty meh.
    He did not know about the dragons when he said that, nor did he say Island. He controlled villages, which does not really sound all that impressive to me.
    I know he is arrogant and not directly lying, but it is pretty clear that he doesn't know how strong either Miraak or the Last Dragonborn is, so taking his claims of superiority to grant a tier still feels force to me.

    Sorry, I was refferring to that. Still though, he doesn't exactly have many feats, and his statements are done with him lacking knowledge overall.
    Are other "best wizard of the year" characters in Elder Scrolls Low 2-C, or is his tier just baseed around scaling to the two dragonborns? If the latter, I feel it's a bit of a strech to me.
    I get there are a lot of strong people around, but I doubt that there are that many Low 2-Cs that can drop in and kill him out of nowhere for him to really be that concerned with the idea. Though I guess the Thalmor have a few of those up their sleeves.

    @Ricsi: Here's a link to a pastebin log of the conversation:
    My name = Last Dragonborn, other person = Vier
    His main point is that Nirn/Mundus = made of Et'Ada, Et'Ada were Outerversal, therefore anything on/from Nirn = Outerverse tier. Even though they gave that part of themselves up to become Nirn/Mundus, which I try to get through to him several times, but, well, you can read his sword metaphor for yourself to see how far that gets me. He essentially believes that Nirn is "above infinity" because of a single lore book he read, and that makes it beyond our 3-dimensional reality at its baseline, when in reality, Mundus/Nirn is surrounded by infinity.

    And then he posted the link to a youtube video before he left for the night: Channel is called "Your Favorite Villain!"

    But yeah, it's pretty stupid, if you ask me. He apparently thinks that Outerversal - Outerversal = Outerversal. >_> 1+1 may as well equal 1 to him.

    How nice to see people misinterpret infinity.
    While a part of infinite can be infinite (all number - all whole number), that does not make all parts of infinity infinite (all numbers - 1).
    Same goes for outerversal. Assuming every atom in a reality is equal to the cosmology of said reality is like saying everything in the real world would be High 3-A or Low 2-C.

    I think he is better in the sheer versability, but I kind of doubt him having more raw power.
    A lot of people from previous games would have far more knowledge and aviable spells than the Dova. Hell, even the previous Arch-Mage would likely know more with his decades of experience.
    Plus, once you become Mora's new "champion", you'll probably get access to more knowledge than him (but that's after the game, so I get what you mean).

    Considering that some spells from previous games are very common and the College of Winterhold supposedly being the only place in Skyrim where people can truly learn magic, I think it would make sense for them to have some spells from the previous games that are not available because of game limitations.

    I mean, not really.
    Magic is seen as a tool for the weak from 90% of the Nords to the point that there is only one Nord student (two if Dragonborn is one), and the College itself nearly sank and was heavily damaged.

    The College itself, yeah, but it still left them in the bad side of pretty much everyone near them.
    And that isn't proof. That's literally lack of proof. There is no mention of such things, Nords don't even study there and the general magical knowledge is so low common folk don't even know that magic staffs are a thing...
    While the college might be lightyears ahead the rest of Skyrim, there is little proof for it being really advanced with magic at all.

    i have a question : how powerfull is Shalidor ? i guess he's nowhere around someone like Divath Fyr, but still curious since the guy managed to steal Glamoril from Akatosh himself which is kinda impressive

  • Waria Kambang
    Read my edit. The existence of powerful masters like Tolfdir, who is said to be one of the greatest Alteration master in Tamriel proves that their magical knowledge are very much equals to other provinces of Tamriel. Based on Urag gro-Shub's dialogues, the College has been collecting and preserving magical knowledge for hundreds of years, starting from the First Era, and their magical knowledges are still preserved. Not to mention that it was created by Shalidor, a mage who rivals Divath Fyr in magical knowledge.
    And how those the lack of magical knowledge of the common folks supposed to prove the College's lack of magical knowledge?

    Keep in mind that I'm not saying that the Dovahkiin should have every single spells that the previous protagonists have. I'm just saying that their magical knowledge are not limited to what we've seen in-game.

    Majority of the other apprentices just up and die in their experiments, and the Last Dragonborn's proficency in a magical school does not reflect the spells they know in them.
    Which is why I said the previous Arch-Mage probably knew more than him or her.

    Is more of a game limitation/creators limiting spells as they have said
    I wish they keep the spells from all the games and just added new ones every game but the just seem to just wash down and try to make less than the previous games
    But thanks to that people make mods to put spell on the games

    Nor am I saying that, But assuming that the Dragonborn, who can supposedly surpass one of the best Alteration master in all of Tamriel and reach similar levels in other schools to have such a limited number of spells, which is clearly a game mechanic, is wrong. What I'm saying is that it is logical to assume that the Dragonborn have far more spells than what the game shows us, but we don't know what those spells are or how many they are.

There's no reason for the College of Winterhold to have less spells than other institutions of magic when it's are created by one of the most knowledgeable magician in the whole history of Tamriel, had been preserving magical knowledges longer than Arcane University (and unlike Arcane University, didn't lose their magical knowledges to the Thalmor), and have powerful masters like Tolfdir to teach and pass their magical knowledges to their apprentices. The only explanation for this is game mechanic, because it makes zero sense in lore.

    Not really.
    For the Convention to be made, Akatosh’s vessel struck the Earth and became fixed in it as a Tower. And through the Convention, it would define the Earthbones and structure their nature inside of Nirn’s narrative, effectively making it the first speck of solid and unassailable reality in the non-linearity of the Dawn Era, thus earning it the name of Ur-Tower, or Ada-Mantia.
    So the tower is what brought time and defined all of the nareative and structures, the tower is still beyond time

    In the thread were the updates that were to be given u can see that it got derailed also i have asked ultima before and he has said that aka and lorkan are basically around the same level as CHIM users on their prime.
    So it basically boils down to "we dont have enought people interested in TES to start making the upgrades" is funny actually cus if I remember there are a lot of profiles that have not been updated and not been given abilities and resistances they have but are not on the profiles, the reason why the dova page has most of his haxes is cus I have been working and making CTR for it otherwise he would just have like 7 powers still

    Yes they are both fundamental ideas being what define the entire Dream of the Godhead at its most primal level.


    Anu-El is the everlasting, ineffable Light of Existence which encompasses, surrounds and exists beyond the Aurbis and the endless realms of unstructured chaos that stand above it, and which sparked its creation through its interplay with the infinite, inexpressible Void of Sithis


    so if i try to put it simply it would be

    Probably we have a chance to gain that level from this text
    "Anu and Padhome, stasis and change, both vast realms sitting in the void, they created it. Not vast, infinite, as the void was infinite. Imagine an infinity enclosed by another; you come away with a bubble. Now watch as the two bubbles touch. Their intersection is a perfect circle of pattern and possibility that we shall call the Aurbis. The Aurbis is the foundation of the Wheel."
    Does it mean the dream is a void setting which have anu and padomay is a two bubble inside ?

    basically, before it all it was a void anu and padomay define the entire Dream of the Godhead at its most primal level. and they gave birth to anuel and sithis and those 2 started to create basically from the light of anuel and the void of sithis

    I mean....have u seen verses like marvel and DC pages?
    Marvel Alone has about 200 or more profiles there already
    I dont know what would make TES having more profiles of characters and artifacts that people could use to make vs or to see what they can do, I dont see that as bad, it might even bring more life to the page

    So, I'd have a question, why is Kirkbride's stuff being used? While the fandom has it's own takes on what they want to be canon, this wiki still takes canon for, well, what canon is. The story written by the IP holders or those they hire to do so.
    Of course, I'm aware how much he had written back in the time, and that he sometimes gets rehired to write some new things, but that alone doesn't mean that the things they didn't have him write is canon. The fact that they openly state that things outside the game like the loveletter from the fifth era are not canon is a major problem with it too.
    There's also C0DA being about IP having no rights over personal canons and all fanon stories being equally worthwhile, but that would still not be allowed on the wiki. So, am I missing something here?
    While I could see his interpretation getting profiles of their own, I could only see that working the same manner as legends and canon star wars, not as the default canon.

    Matt did a blog on the whole thing, here u go

    19:07, September 17, 2020

  • Ricsi-viragosi
    But that is a pretty dishonest way to look at things. First of all, not everyone dismisses his writings as nonsensical fanfiction, they simply don't take it as a part of canon. The idea of KINMUNE isn't that complicated despite the way its written, but many still don't like and agree with the idea of a mining AI from the future being the Queen of the Thalmor, among many other things.
    His influence on the games is undeniable. The fact that some of the things he wrote is directly stated to not be canon, is also undeniable however.
    They directly say things such as the love letter from the Fifth Era, are no-canon as they do not appear in-game. Obviously the newer and older writers still ask and take influence from him, but the simple fact that his writings aren't canon by default remains all the same.
    We do not know that the Thalmor wish to destroy the towers and create a world without humans, and the mystery of what will happen to the dwemer is still very much a thing.
    After all, the "third" kind of people about Kirk, is the ones that enjoy his writings, but only take them for canon, when they are confirmed canon in game.

    There are hundreds of arguments on the canonicity of his works online. Almost all agree that while he is an important figure, nothing he wrote is absolutely true or even something the writers of the new lore have to respect, and they may contradict it at will. One of his writings goes against the idea that IP holders don't own the canonicity of a story after all, but that standard isn't something this wiki can take.
    I am perfectly fine with taking the ideas that are confirmed as canon as canon, obviously. But still, not everything he has claimed is canon, some of what he has written is not canon, and some lore claims and such seem to be contradicted ("seem" since what is meant literally and what isn't is up in the air).

    You should talk it with matt.
    i personally accept his work as cannon

    Simply out, Bethesda's response to whether love letter from fifth era, nu-mantia intercept, "etc." are canon or not.
    "Remember that only things that have been published in Elder Scrolls games should be considered official lore."
    Of course, things openly stated to be canon (see the novels for Skyrim. Which, yeah, there's a reason why those two were directly said to be canon while many of the other things written out of game were not) are still canon as well.
    Intresting it might be, Kirkbride's concept is just not something possible to really take on the wiki properly:
    "Tamriel never belonged to Bethesda. It was the other way around. As for canon, it's really all interactive fiction, and that should mean something to everyone. That said, I appreciate and understand the stamp of "official", but I think it will hurt more that it will help in the long run. TES should be Open Source. It is for me.$
    Tuat is just now how things work.

    04:52, September 18, 2020

  • TOAAPRESENCE1
    Matt also said this:
    What you like doesn't matter. What matters is what is.
    And this isn't about feats. It's about Lore as a whole. TES Lore is incomplete without OOG texts from Kirkbride. This is an objective statement.


    so i really thing u should talk with him about it, given he is basically the Lore master of TES on this wiki.

    Edited by TOAAPRESENCE1 04:59, September 18, 2020

  • Ricsi-viragosi
    Yes, that does not prove Kirkbruie's writing are canon as a whole, and I don't think I mentioned feats. I also disregarded personal feelings too. However, the major problems are: 1, the lore being incomplete is purposeful, and is not a justification to take his explanation as canon. 2. Despite many writings from him being canon, his beliefs over The Elder Scrolls (such as it being open source) are simply not true.
    He gives his explanation or expansion on in-verse stories, yes. However, such explanations are only canon, when they are shown or claimed to be.
    The fact that some of his writings are directly stated to be not canon, as they are out of game, should already tell that however.

    Bethesda's statements regarding Kirkbride's writings were really only relevant in 2005 or so, where much of his writings were indeed still fairly obscured and divided from the game series. This changed over time, though, and many of his relevant texts ended up being directly used and referenced in it; Nu-Mantia Intercept, for instance, was written before Oblivion and actually foreshadows many things that happen in it.
    C0DA's entire plot is also directly described in the 37th Sermon of Vivec, down to the destruction of time across the Aurbis and Jubal's existence and role as Vivec's husband, not to mention her making a direct mention of the Amaranth at the end of it. The latter being also mentioned almost by name in the Truth in Sequence as part of Sotha Sil's ideals.
    Ultimately, though, whether you consider Kirkbride's stuff to be canon or not is irrelevant to much of the ratings on the profiles, since all of the texts relevant to them have been included in-game. And even those that weren't are just MK explaining lore that has been present in the games since Morrowind (The 36 Lessons talk about basically the entire cosmology as he describes it, for instance), or arguably even Redguard, so I'd say they're fine to use as support regardless.

    It doesn't matter if something isn't "licensed", it is still lore created by developers and it will either reflect something that was already planned behind the scenes, or which will eventually be used in a game.
    Check the Canon Page in the Elder Scrolls wiki for quotes from devs.

    In his dream he put "Himself" and Padomai inside there and then those 2 versions of himself and padomay created sithis and Anu-El

    I never appreciated just how badass the dovakhiin was until i played ESO
    Dragons are dangerous. I know that should go without saying, but I never fully appreciated that in Skyrim. In ESO, however, they are absolute forces of nature. They take a group of hardened adventurers to take down, and even the Vestige, a Hero and one of the most powerful warriors of that Era, needs a bunch of help to take them down in the story.
    The first one you kill is severely injured by a ballistae bolt to the chest. The next you are useless against without the use of a magical horn designed to combat dragons, and the help of an incredibly powerful mage to shield you from getting torn apart from Shouts. On your own, you are screwed.
    Now compare that to the Dragonborn, who quite literally eats dragons for breakfast and singlehandedly takes down dozens of them to the point where they are more of an annoyance than a threat.

What i heard before backt to 2018 in those time TES is first riase in the top of the strongest video game , did i can think that TES is strongest video game series ?
 
Due to somebody stated that other visual novel can called as games , i dont sure they can still call as it
 
By considerably , i think not all VN can counted as a games , some of them are't give you gameplay experience
 
That looks so wierd , why we counted here , its just click and point its not differrence like you read a book and flip the book page , that exactly game ?
 
Nah , choose the route does't mean grant you game experience , if look up on the defination about " game " it has main sign , the Challenge , a main thing to govern this defination , need to be challeng player skills and solve a problem in thier front , some visual novel not have it , they just have goal in storyline and click your mouse for skip a chapters
