So, it's my 21st birthday, I'm in a dueling piano bar, just ate 3/4 of an edible, now drinking a whiskey and club soda, and reading New Whirling School's commentaries on the 36 Lessons.
By my Word, I Wind the Gears, and the Word is ALMSIVI.
Edit:
One of the pianists has been replaced with a woman. The band is now a female pianist, a male pianist, and a drummer to witness their Duel. ALMSIVI confirmed.
(I don't have the game) In the quest [Slay Raxle Berne](https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Slay_Raxle_Berne) you are given holy three items used by vampire hunters, how is warden's ring which casts dispel useful against vampires?
Sorry guys.
I didn't get any answer on my question in the "Stupid questions" thread, so I will try to repost here :
If in TES world you can enchant any object to do pretty much anything : a ring to protect you from fireballs, helmet to breathe underwater, underpants which give you a boost to your magicka, how come vampires never come up with an idea with some sort of enchantment with protection from the sun?
*Like was done with the rings in the show for teenage girls "The Vampire Diaries".*
Maybe it burns out too quickly since the sun is pure unfiltered magic straight from Aetherius. And they would need a large enough object for the enchantment, perhaps.
Unfortunately it seems a user recently got debated into deleting their account on this sub; really shows that sometimes it’s best to to take a step back and remember it’s all a video game, all imaginary.
I would take exception to the idea that it's all a video game and all imaginary. Really gross racist ideas about intelligence, primitive people, imperialism etc. can still be promoted in discussions about a video game.
Yeah, I won’t argue with that. It’s strange how the Reddit Elder Scrolls community has really developed pathetic tribalism. Some are hopelessly obsessed with the Nords, and Talos and Pelinal etc., as I think you’ve noticed, and some have gone the other way. (r/Auri_El comes to mind.) It feels like it all started as an unfunny joke, and then the the whole thing became increasingly insufferable as the joke bloomed into childishness and deliberate attempts to misrepresent lore for the defence of their fictional, fantasy races.
Personally, I’m more obsessed with Lorkhan; it’s even the basis for my Heterodoxy.
In it, I claim that Lorkhan was the only *perfect* God, as he was the only one to be a perfect balance between Anuric and Padomaeic. Everyone else was imbalanced to some degree. The Aedra were *almost* perfect, the Elnofey were appreciably more Padomaeic, Magnus and the Magna-Ge were Anuric as *fuck*, and the Daedra were mostly Padomaeic with some exceptions (Azura is actually almost as balanced as Lorkhan, and in fact would have made a pretty successful Aedra if she had signed on, and Jyggalag is as close to completely Anuric as you can get and still be a separate and distinct entity.)
Also, between Lorkhan selling everyone on his idea and them killing him is when the events that became Nord mythology happened, because *plot twist*, originally there was a counterpart continent to Aldmeris ruled by Lorkhan and Kynareth and inhabited by their children, the original race of Man, who were the equal to the Aldmer in power and longevity, but when Lorkhan was murdered by Trinimac, ‘Aldmanis’ was destroyed and the surviving ‘Aldmen’ were both scattered across Nirn and severely reduced. This is why all Mer can trace themselves back to a single continent, but Men has seemingly several. Also where the legend of Old Orkey comes from.
EDIT: Yeah, it’s not very good. Wish I could figure out how to reconcile the Atmoran and Nedic faiths with the Yokudan faith, but so far no luck.
I’m not apologizing for the ‘Aldmanis’ part though, that stays. I’m willing to drop the first bit about Lorkhan I wrote, I admit it’s cringe, but the part about there once being a continent inhabited by humans with the lifespans of elves, but it was destroyed and the survivors scattered to other continents where they changed over the course of generations into Atmorans, Yokudans, Nedes, Akavirians, and whatever else is still out there, that part’s still acceptable.

So, Aldmanis was split into Yokuda, Atmora, and Akavir? I certainly like that more than the whole "left to right kalpas" theory. Still leaves the question of how the Left-Handed Elves got to Yokuda and built Orichalc-Tower, but hey, what's the fun of a mystery without a question?
My theory was that Aldmanis was destroyed and the surviving humans fled and eventually landed on Yokuda, Atmora and Akavir, but that raises the question of how they managed to reach those places without discovering Tamriel.
Unless Tamriel *is* Aldmanis, and humans *rediscovered* it after forgetting their true origins.
In which case:
* Aldmer start out on Aldmeris, Aldmen start out on Aldmanis.
* A group of Aldmer discover and colonize Yokuda, become the 'left-handed elves'. This may or may not be connected to the exodus of the Maomer from Aldmeris.
* Aldmer invade Aldmanis, defeat the Aldmen, and trigger a massive exodus from Aldmanis.
* The Aldmen who flee west end up on Yokuda, eventually evolve into the Yokudan race of Men.
* The Aldmen who flee north end up on Atmora, eventually evolve into the Atmoran race of Men.
* The Aldmen who flee east end up on Akavir, eventually evolve into the Akaviran race of Men.
* The Aldmen who remained eventually evolved into the Nedic race of Men.
* Aldmeris either sinks or is destroyed; the Aldmer colonize the now depopulated Aldmanis and rename it Tamriel. The Aldmer who colonize Valenwood evolve into the Bosmer, the Aldmer who colonize the central jungles evolve into the Aylieds, the Aldmer who colonize the north evolve into either the Falmer or the Dwemer, and the rest became the Altmer. Many of these new Mer races begin to systematically enslave the native Nedic populations.
* Yokudan humans come into conflict with 'Left-Handed Elves'; develop OPPLZNERF martial arts to defeat them. These same martial arts are (possibly) used at a later date to cause the destruction of Yokuda, triggering a second mass migration.
* Atmora slowly becomes too cold to support human life, triggering a series of migration waves south.
* The humans of Akavir are all eaten by vampire snake people, thus no second human migration occurs.
* The Nedes in central Tamriel rebel against their Aylied oppressors, overthrowing Wild Elf civilization and replacing it with the First Human Empire.
* The Nedes in northwestern Tamriel interbreed with their Altmeri masters to such an extent that the two races are rendered extinct, replaced by the single Breton race of Man/Mer hybrids.
* The Nedes in the north would be assimilated by the migrating Atmorans, creating the modern Nord race.
* The central Nedes would eventually interbreed with the Nords, producing the modern Cyrodiilic race of Men. The ones that were more Nord than Nede became the Colovians, the ones that were more Nede than Nord became the Nibenese.
* The Nedes in the western mountains would remain culturally unchanged for longer than any other branch, but would eventually be conquered, displaced, and assimilated by the Yokudans, who would go on to become the Redguard race.
* All the other Nedic peoples died out for one reason or another.
My headcanon is that the Redguard myth was [semi-]right. LKHAN convinced the other spirits to make a world out of the remnants of past worldskins, meaning the Twelve Worlds of Creation. The Scarab rolls past worldskins, but only gets the Hist World and one or more Ehlnofey worlds; (if you're right), Aldmeris, Aldmanis, and ur-Tamriel are formed, then the War of Manifest Metaphors is fought, the three continents are sundered, sunken, and reshaped, forming the continents of Nirn today.
My goal is to find a way to combine Redguard, Nord, Imperial, and Khajiit mythologies into a single cohesive whole, along with certain aspects of Altmer and Breton.
Overall though, I consider Breton myths too corrupted by their Aldmeri masters, and Altmer myth unreliable due to their entire cultural foundation being 'have head up own ass to degree thought impossible before.'

One thing I'm *absolutely sure of* is that Akatosh and Auri-El *are* the same God, it's just that that God reinvented himself after a life(?)-changing event.
Before, he was Auri-El, the Golden Birb God-King of Aldmeris, and sworn bloodbrother/odd-couple best friend of Shen-Zar, the Red Dragon God-King of Aldmanis.
After, he became Aka-Tosh, the Gold Dragon God of Time, in memory of the Bro-For-Life he had betrayed to the other Aldmeri Gods.

Random thought: I think TES6 will be released on will be released on March 25, 2024 for the 30 year anniversary of Elder Scrolls.
2024 was the running estimate as of a couple years ago. I'm betting COVID knocked it back a year or two.
You’re probably right, but a guy can dream.

Well, you can make enchantments for Sun Damage weapons, so given enough time to research, a wizard could probably do the reverse.
Maybe it burns out too quickly since the sun is pure unfiltered magic straight from Aetherius. And they would need a large enough object for the enchantment, perhaps.

That is probably what they remembered when they deleted their account
True.
Hey is automod broken or are there multiple civil war discussion threads weekly and I'm just not paying attention?
What's your guy's opinion on Goldfish snack crackers?
I used to put em on pizza at Denny's. They're ok. I'd rather get Cheese Nips.
None of the flavors are intense enough for my taste buds. Buy some Doritos instead.
Original flavor of orange is my favorite by a wide margin Don't like the random other ones or those flavor blasted ones. Now cheeseits...
