[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We could also perhaps do a video on that at some point. Yeah. Ah, Enzalil are the political party that, um, went and invaded Morrowind. Yeah, they're, they're strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, that's just the idea that all of the ancient civilizations like, you know, had all of this powerful star magic like the alyds. Oh, it's literally just that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and like that, that, um, Riemann, and they had like space programs with sunbirds in Somerset Isles and Riemann, like, all that kind of stuff, the Manonauts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stuff like that, and now we don't have that, so it's as time goes on, the world's getting more mundane. Cause technology and magic are sort of synonymous in this world. So, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, wolf. Oh, that's the, um, no, it's actually, um, the, uh, he's a character in Morrowind that's supposed to be like an embodiment of Talos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. He's a, an Imperial warrior located in the Tower of Dusk and Ghost Gate. Uhm, you can only encounter him while the main quest is act-, active after receiving Wraithguard before destroying Dagoth Ur. But he's actually an avatar of Typer Septim and is, as he's revealed by Latia, uh, Latia Varia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell you what, the Elysian Empire was so much more impressive I guess in the amount of time that it was sort of like an empire, granted it had less holdings and so on and had more like strife, but uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they're going like, oh, the empire's like lived for a long time. It's only been like 400 and something years at that point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I guess it lasts to 600 if you continue through the fourth era, but still, it's not that long compared to the thousands of years of previous ones, but yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's like a kind of, kind of along the lines of demigod, isn't it? A guy that was sort of like, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And wash the shore or something. I can't remember. People ask us, it's one area that I'm sort of like. And there's a wild, there's a whole line. There's wilder Queens as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, anyway, the Book of Hours. Sounds very familiar, I just can't remember exactly what. I'll have a look. Book of Hours, US.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vex Book of Hours, or Order of the Hour Book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess it's perhaps saying that the, the, the, the, the Manamaco, that, that the king, the king of worms that you meet in Daggerfall isn't Manamaco, and that he goes off to become the god, and that Manamaco continues to be the one that you see in Oblivion. Maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Uh, Battle Spires, which are obviously the big like, you know, oblivion space satellite, space stations essentially, where they trained battle majors and stuff, and obviously there's the Battle Spire game. Sunbirds, we were just talking about, the Ultimary, uhm, like, uh, like, spaceships essentially trying to reach Aetherius.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Naked. Oh, so that's a reference to like in, in Morrowind, there's examples of like a, of Nords being stripped naked. They have their clothes stolen by some kind of witch or something. And then they put more of those in Tamriel Rebuilt as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm assuming that's what it's related to. And speaking of Tamriel Rebuilt, House Dress Vampires is another one that, uhm, I'll just look it up just real quick. Cause it's basically the idea that there are, uh, in House Dress in this mod, their vision of Tamriel Rebuilt, which is rebuilding


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Morrowind, in Morrowind's engine, uhm, talks about how their leaders are secretly vampires. Okay, hold on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's lots of like big salt plains, so, so, uh, these powers, while sharing characteristics with typical blood vampires, are distinct from traditional vampirism in several ways. In addition to these powers, the dress, which the dress matriarchs themselves saw as a curse, then you found vampirism omitted them from ancestry, which to them is a very big deal. Uhm, they feed on their own,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had to feed on their own kin to sustain life force, or suffer mentally debilitating side effects. Uhm, some resisted instead drinking the blood of slaves, but those who did suffered migraine, aura visions and nightmares. So they kind of have to feed on other Dunmer. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, anyway, this is all like, this is all kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fan lore, technically, because it's all Tamriel Rebuild lore, but it really does flesh out. I would suggest reading this to anyone. Go on the Tamriel Rebuild website and there's a whole page about how stress, um, and, and the land and everything. It's really, really cool. I really like Tamriel Rebuild's work. I think it's visions really consistent with the original Morrowind sort of vision of that era.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so that's complicated. It's the idea that there's this big sleeve of, and it's where you, you know, so when you sleep, you go to the dream sleeve. It's where you go when you, when you sleep your...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Entering sort of like the, uh, it's like an afterlife kind of thing, but the dream sleeve is like this idea that there's this like, I guess, I don't know why I visualize it as a river of souls or so on, but the, in this dream sleeve kind of area, you're, you're a soul without identity, kind of a material identity before you get either, you know, put into one of the afterlives or you get reincarnated or it's confusing and sort of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of conjecture built on top of it. Bye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean that's uh, yeaah. I mean that's if you're, that's if that is the forced adaption kind of thing unless you go with the idea that they were like some sort of like proto Elnife looking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Emperor Zero, that's what I was talking about with Kulkain, the guy before he was assassinated, that type of septum was his general.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Satakal being the Yakudan, essentially like embodiment of that idea really. Uhm, so you can kind of look at that too, like the Ouroboros eating itself. Okay, you think I've...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, let's keep, we're nearly, sorry, AnuMidi models. I'm assuming it's somewhat related to the AnuMidiom, like small versions of... That's a bit wack, I don't know what that one is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cyberyardies? What's that one? I have no idea. We're getting to proper meme territory now, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no. It's just a small fiefdom. Yeah, it's a small island off the northern coast of Sentinel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so why is that, why is that uhm. It just is man, there's apparently, there's vampires, some vampires there. I guess, I guess it's just you kind of, I guess on a deep lore thing, it's kind of like something you wouldn't come across because it's so obscure. Yeaah. It's just like one island, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just, I mean, I guess like satacal kind of thing or something. Oh, was in the idea. It's kind of all timelines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Encompassing that, there's weird time stuff related to Yakuta that you can't do. Uhm, Red Templars in... am I thinking of the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if you can't figure that out, how about you try and figure out this, two-typer theory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyone wanna have a look at that? Two-typer theory. I think the progressive episodes of this later are going to be even slower because more of the, uh, moronic theories are there and we have to kind of... Oh, so it's the event...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I've heard things, all of the shout stuff he does, he's healthy early beer, but all of the cool shout treats, uh, things that are attributed to him, feats, are, uhm, done by Izmir Wolfarth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which, that could be what it's referencing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Magical equals the energy, magicka equals energy of existence. I guess it's kind of go like magic and light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stars 3D Skydome. I think that's just a reference to the idea that it's not really like, space, it's a view, like, you know how Skydomes dust stars, but it's kind of like Mundus in a dome with the stars as holes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we're getting too deep into the Elder Scrolls lore. They're learning too much. They're gonna burst in. The Todd Howard Police.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well, we left off at Blade's secret bloodline, so we'll get back to that in the next episode, because there is a lot of stuff here, and it's only gonna get crazier, it's probably gonna take like another two episodes, so we'll probably break these up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, in between some other more cohesive lore videos. Yeah, I was thinking that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I said in that early podcast, they're pretty much Shrek.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I guess they're naturally, they're naturally, uh, said to be violent. I mean, you can see that through their berserker rage power and also through the fact that throughout history, they're always fighting amongst each other or themselves. They like raiding to, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get resources and stuff over farming, even though they've done everything, but like primarily they tended to like raiding a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I actually like, speaking of farming, I do like, uhm, this idea of them having these big, like, woolly centipede things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's one of the coolest sounding, uh, it's a, the people were dependent on a rare shaggy giant centipede herd beast that can only survive at high altitudes. That's a really cool creature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean we can use our brain as well to just think of the most awesome wooly centipedes we can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, shall we talk a little bit about Orc society? Yeah, sure. Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I guess the orcs definitely have a very might-is-right mindset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where the chieftain is at the top and he's the biggest and strongest and to be the chieftain you have to kill the chieftain. The chieftain is polygamous with a bunch of wives that he's, you know, married to. It's not like they just go and shag everyone. It's, they are his wives, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the wives have, um, he has kids with them and then those kids train amongst each other, hoping to become strong enough to kill the chieftain and become the chieftain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I mean, a lot of them will end up leaving as well and become, you know, the kind of city orcs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who go off to do other things because they want to fall in love or live a different lifestyle, which I mean we'll talk about the curse of the orcs as outcasts more as we dive deeper into the podcast, but it is interesting that they're doomed if they do, doomed if they don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because if they stay with the orcs, they're an outcast to the rest of civilization. And if they go into the cities, they're an outcast to their true, like, home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the blood price as well is, is, it's weird because there's apparently some kind of rules about it, but then they go, or as much satisfied, as much satisfied as the victim. So I imagine if the victim was subjectively just overly displeased at what the crime was, they would spill a whole lot more of the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Offenders blood than they need. Just all of it. Which, yeaah, which really deters crime in general, so I guess it's a good


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can, I can agree with that with the explanation. I think if I didn't have the explanation and you just showed me both armors, I'd probably go with the Skyrim one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But anyway, I guess in terms of Orc society, they're, they're all taught to like, you know, fight and be strong. You know, everyone, everyone is, and, and the females especially do have a focus on the smithing aspect of things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, which, which is interesting because if you look at a lot of the tribes throughout, I don't know, different histories and stuff, they often be like, okay, males go out and hunt females can also help, but mainly, you know, food gathering, food preparation tasks like that, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't it interesting that the orcs are so hardcore that their kind of little prep tasks is like blacksmithing. Yeah. Like it, that's pretty intense. They're very, very strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, okay. I was gonna say while we're talking about, uhm, orc culture and things like that and the kind of, uhm, dynamics of their societies and whatnot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think even though we usually keep all the questions to the end, I think it could actually be interesting to discuss now the idea that people have of kind of like the inbreeding between orcs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From like, uh, evolutionary perspective, because a lot of people have this thought straight away that okay, they become strong enough to kill their dad, the chieftain, who now has all of these wives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then people assume that they, you know, take on these wives as their own and then wouldn't that be bad for the orcs? But it doesn't necessarily have to work that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can really see the kind of like jump on the burning pyre type mentality with orcs. Or at least just hang around and help with smithing and what not. But I mean they trade daughters between the clans for this purpose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so I think they would just get new ones. Another interesting thing is if we consider that the wise woman is the mother of the chieftain, that would mean if it stays that way all the time, no exceptions, that when the chieftain is killed, that their mom would become the new wise woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, there's, there's all kinds of theories on how it all happened. Like if you listen to the orcs, there's this idea that, um, Trinamac was tricked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, look, I-I-I'll say this to any-anyone with theories out there. It's the Elder Scrolls universe. So, yeaah, it could happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I mean, literally the, the story is so strange and wacky already. There's nothing that I can see that would stop new lore being written to make that happen. I don't think it will happen. Uhm, but it's like, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't think it fits that well either, especially if you look at him as like a kind of almost revenge-oriented prince.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, if he's like this seething, like, uh, I don't think that he really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think Daedric Prince, as most people know it, kind of is just where the Entity resides. Yeah. Because I mean, you look at Meridia being a Magnege and all this, and then inhabiting a Daedric Realm, and then Malekath inhabiting a Daedric Realm, the Ash Pit, or supposedly that's where, um, Boethia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another thing I can really imagine, cause we don't know what forms they take on, but with the whole eating and excreting story, as Malekath says it's, uh, you know, taken to literally, that could be like a really like spiritual, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, I was going to say as well, like just to kind of quote from varieties of faith, another belief with orcs, um, venerating Trinimac and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is they believe, sorry, yeaah, they believe that when, uh, he was corrupted by his passage through Boethiah, he actually absorbed some of Boethiah's strength and passed it on to his followers. And this way some of the orcs see themselves as like improved elves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but then they also don't have the same magical prowess nor the lifespan or like, I think if I had to like objectively rate their biology.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Drew said to me the other day, the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and if I was Boethiah and I was going to corrupt, you know, some followers and change them and give them this kind of outcast curse, I would make them look like what their, their, what their, um, base race, I guess, what the old ma.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, so I think definitely Boethic could have looked at goblins and been like, yeah, I'm going to make you look like a half elf half goblin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can, you can see why people associate with them, like, uh, orcs with them. They have so much in common. They're green. They used to be bigger. Like you said, they have pointed ears. They worship Malacath. They all have like, they all have the same patron god, basically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who are kind of like the religious and spiritual leaders, but whatever their religions were in the past may not, like you were saying, have been anything to do with Malacath. This could have been a religious following that was developed through association with the orcs. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but like, like I was saying, it doesn't have to be a fact that like, are they an elf or are they a goblin? It's like, yeah, they're an elf, but, but with you could like, I was kind of saying this before off camera.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could make, uh, a man, and then, I dunno, say you're a god, so you're Boethiah, you can do anything. I'm gonna mix man with, I dunno, a spider.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's like, is he a man or is he a spider? It's like, he's a man still, but he has all these spider-like features. So they were elves, but then you can throw goblin features on them because you know that he's outcast things. It doesn't mean that they've got goblin kin blood. They might, but it doesn't necessarily mean that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for sure, but I mean, you've got to be pretty unimaginative to create the orcs based on how similar they look to goblins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a spore creation menu. They just clicked on the volcano and then clicked on the race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I guess that's a topic that will get blended in as we speak about Orsinium, this kind of why the orcs always lose kind of topic. But I mean, you, you look at what happened with the first Orsinium, I believe they were raiding the Buolse River.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I mean, if you're situated between two, we'll call them superpowers, at least compared to all the orcs and their civilization they were trying to build. If you keep raiding and you annoy Hyrok and Hammerfell, they team up against a common enemy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah, that's it. Cause the gate and Shinji had a, a duel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With blood tusk, over uhm, what was it, just over Orsinium's fate and then the king of Hyroc just had them all killed and invaded Hammerfell. I don't know how to pronounce his name, you can say Joyle, Joyla, or we actually used a French to English translation before the podcast and it was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I think the other thing that the orcs kind of did wrong, which doomed them to failure, like when all the different Uldmer migrated to different places, you know, some went to Cyrodiil, there's the Alids, you know, they went to Resdain and became the Chimer and then the Dark Elves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so on and so forth, the orcs went everywhere. So they split everywhere. And then as you do when you split into different groups over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A really long time, you develop a bunch of different cultures, which they kind of have the overarching themes of the chieftains and stuff like that. But in terms of things like worship and like as we're talking about with Trinimac versus Malacath, you get a lot of different ideas. So when you bring them all together, things aren't always exactly kumbaya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And the land for Nova Orsinium was also won again in a duel with a Bret and Noble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean look, as, as Todd said as well, when he said like, talking about being ambitious and stuff like that, and like, you know, that kind of concept of like, uh, what games you're gonna make before you die type thing. It's like, come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can just see a big Orsinium ambitious thing being in there, it just adds another player which everyone wants into the kind of like political scene. And especially if they're gonna double down, I mean


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] T-turns out it's the PvP zone. What is called 6 multiplayer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But imagine what's a stop mount. As he's known. I'm more going if there's a split. And this is like, I dunno, the kind of revenge seeking, seething one only exists through being a revenge seeking kind of spiteful one. So to stop being that would be to stop existing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was gonna say you could almost say that perhaps he's a little bit insecure about Boethiah defeating him. So he doesn't really care about them growing into a successful civilization. He just wants the bragging rights of being like, we're the strongest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like we may not, we may not, we may not be the most advanced or have the biggest territories of the biggest armies, but I'm the strongest. They're the strongest. Like we win fights. I'll never lose a fight again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And no wonder they were tempted into like duels and stuff. Although, I mean, it did work for them when they dueled and won successfully to win land. I mean, what-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breton, with all their civilization and armies and stuff would agree to give over land for having a duel with one orc. I know the Bretons are really into like, that kind of stuff too, but not in the same way, like your chances are not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Necessarily good or stacked in your favour. It's not something you'd probably want to take the bet on. But I guess ego and, and uhm, things like that make you do things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was the deal of him with his vampirism? He was kinda like a hawk? His father was a vampire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, look, this is the whole point of a curse anyway, it's not too interesting. I mean, breaking a curse is also cool, but the idea of a curse is that you can't defeat it. Like, you know what I mean? That it keeps on kind of screwing you over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That like main area where all the orcs are, like the actual pit itself's not inhabitable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for sure. I'd also say as well, just on the concept I wanted to touch on with Volendrong, isn't it interesting how this hammer definitely does not look like Daedric in Morrowind and Oblivion? Like it looks-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It kinda just looks unique, I don't know how to say it. It kinda looks like it could be dwarven, uhm, not like the metal, like it just looks like more like you can imagine a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard to say, isn't it? Because being derived from Trinamac almost implies a high level of power even if you don't exert it. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, again, and this isn't the answer anyone wants, but power is often derived from worship as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, so who's the most powerful can be contextual, but I would say he's definitely, if I had to not include that as one of the weaker ones. Like they do say though, in one of the books, peri-ite is the weakest. I think that's sad. It is sad, but, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For sure, and I mean if you think about, like, you're kind of getting at anyway with power and what it's used for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he's using all of his power to be the outcast god and to keep the orcs as outcasts, he's doing a good job, isn't he? I mean, like, if that's what he wants to use his power for, it's not like every Daedric prince is like Mehrunes Dagon and they have to come stomping through the Imperial city, squishing guards beneath their toes, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He like started, he wanted to overthrow the empire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How did you get to, in Daggerfall you get the Mantella?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause if you go to Alderaan in, in Morrowind, you have the Scars carapace is the, uhm, it's called Underscar, like the, the manor district of the city. It's huge. And this dunma dude killed it with a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that was Kirkbride stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Connery. Connery equals Glamoril. Glamoril. Yeaah. Glamoril. Oh, that's a, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Glamoril is the, it's meaning secret of life. Gift of life, yea, something like that. Did Shalador steal it from Akatosh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was thinking maybe it's referencing, uh, Akavir, and the emperor from the west is an emperor from Tamriel that went over, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I don't know, like, spoken from there. Who was that dude, the- Uriel Sepplin the 5th? The 5th, right? That guy, the guy that vanished, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, okay. I'm glad you guys are here, cause I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this dance, I can probably find it in-game to be honest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Dwemer Ruins they have Dwemer coins. Yeaah. And they have Dwemer books that are all written in Dwemer. And they're super rare. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] League. League Alternate Tamriel. So also called like the adjacent place in Kirkbride stuff. Fair enough, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's in, uhm, the thirty-six lessons a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are those things in the Crypt of Hearts? Are they the Star Teeth or the World Teeth? Star Teeth. Star Teeth? What am I talking about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Star teeth, is that a thing? Yeah, the star teeth. It's what you use to kill, uh, Umbracath in, um, the Old Scrolls adventure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's what I was going to say. In a battle, he's calling out the name of a king that wasn't going to exist for another 2,000 years or something. And also, he appears several times throughout history, right? The idea is that, uhm, at different time periods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It could be, like, uh, if you look at star maps from Dwemer Ruins, you could in Ruins,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's in the Morrowind DLC for ESO. There's like a bunch of musical pipes you have to play in the right order. How do I know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn straight. That's it. So well cast on. Congratulations. That's it in a nutshell right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is up ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Fire Drummer, but this is the Elder Scrolls Podcast. I'm Scott here with Michael and Drew as always, and with the Iceberg videos we've had Camel along as well here again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're going to be going DEEPER into the iceberg. We're getting towards the end, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doubt we'll get it completely done this episode, but let's see how we go. So let's get into it. So we left off at the elven lie. So now we're at the has fat and tabless. So he's just the character in the fighters guild who you go and he asks you to get the Dwarf puzzle cube, right? But I'm sure there's some kind of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. I don't know if there's anything much to those theories or if it's a bit more like, is he Jay Garthan question mark? Is he, say esse, is he, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, like, yeah, like the, the Falmer snow elves like should have been there or, or they could possibly not have been too, but it's like, it's, you don't know when they split.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, actually, even the same for the Bosmer really, just if you do buy into the Ooze story more and that it's not a direct, um, descendants from like Ultima or something, which I personally do believe, but I just thought this was a meme, honestly, when I said elf sightings, like you see an elf every single game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the only, the only, the only sea gods, like, explicitly that we hear about is in like, uh, they're not like inherently sea gods, but the Khajiit interpretation of like Hamaeus Mora, you know, maintaining sort of these undersea libraries and so on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I don't know if it, but yeah, I guess you don't have many of those. Like you don't have your like Poseidon import or anything into the other schools.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So maybe there's some secret sea gods we don't know about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So man, some of these get so vague that I feel like they could be applied to like everything, you know what I mean? The last war of like, you know what I mean? There's not enough details, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, yeah, I guess that's uhm. So that's kind of the same thing. And it kind of plays on like what I think was the last episode we talked about, like, why Tamriel is also called the Arena, because it's like the place where they're all gonna come and fight, all the races flock to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Well, I guess we'll move to continent pushing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, he had a battle that made, like, the West Gash, like an area river, but I don't think he actually, perhaps in some Kirkbride stuff, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The real red pill is it's all imaginary because this is a fantasy world that we've, that's all in our heads. Wait, what? What's this next one? Arno Telecon? No idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's call that and let's talk about the next one then, the calling, which is a reference to, um, the Dwemer's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Chimeriquay. So, you know, the Chimers big exodus off to Resdane and so on. There is, I think it's a Kirkbride stuff about the idea that they went, some of them went even further to the islands of Cathiniquay, which is like a bunk, like included in a bunch of sort of islands, kind of like Inslee and Rosquire and the other places.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think so. I'm assuming so because where they are in the direction from. There's like six islands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Well, the whole Chimeriquay thing is just the idea, I guess, that there's Chima on that island. Cathiniquay, yeaah. But, I don't know how much there is to it outside of that. It's just based on a forum post by Michael Kirkbride, apparently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, I think there's even a mod, I swear there's even a mod, I've seen like a Morrowind mod for some like island where the Kymer went and kept following Azura unchanged or something, like they weren't turned into Dunmer. It's just a Morrowind 3 mod, uh, Elder Scrolls 3 mod, but yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything said about Talos is true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's probably getting into that, that same sort of like mythical take where like truth is malleable because it's controlled by sort of like myth. And so everything has like some kind of nugget of truth. You know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically once, uhm, the whole Mantella thing is used in Xuren Arctus' soul and everything, it's all, it all recombines into the Oversoul and then you actually get Talos then in that Dragon Break and then it's kind of like Talos has always been a, a thing and then he changes, you know, changes Jungle Cyrodiil into normal Cyrodiil and yada yada.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, it's the old idea that Talos is the oversoul of Xeronarchtus, like, healthy early-beard, like, otherwise like Tiber Septim, or, and uhm, and Izmir Wulfarth, and it gets compla- complicated and convoluted, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I guess what this is trying to say is like all of it's true, like all different versions, but I guess it's the same way that like technically there's truth to like, you know, you can't coincide, and I guess it's the importance of myth, but all the creation stories are different in some way. You know, like the Nords versions, elf versions, Yakutin versions, but there's all sort of like, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like what they say, like a mono myth, there is a core to all of it, one singular sort of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, could be. And then maybe, maybe more of them are turning into a dragon or swell or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, everything Vivek says is a lie. Now, this could also be very well true. Like, like Vivek, I guess anyway, and especially being a reflection of Mafala is like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. But yeah, so I guess everything he says could be also taken as a lie or a truth, I guess even. There's probably a lot of complicated stuff there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are examples of like, you know, like time wounds and stuff like that. So, and especially with Pelinal kind of being, you know, as a time traveling cyborg-y type character, like you can kind of imagine perhaps that there is where he yelled at, maybe there is some kind of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the next one, Orc Tits, is actually referencing Michael Kirkbride, uh, early, early, um, pictures for it. Basically, he wanted them to be kind of like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think this is the thing, like half of these are just kind of just different words for the same concepts, but just put it different, you know, places in this world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, there is actually, you could kind of view it like that if you wanted to, in the way that when you have King Kroll come to the hill at Sankator, and the spirit of Elise comes to him, you can kind of imagine that it is some like divine, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, made love unto a hillock until he died, so, and then Riemann's a product of that, so perhaps there's a little bit of lack of consent going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, for this, earlier in the lore too, in other lore descriptions of the Reachmen, they weren't completely like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uga buga bone and skin kind of like cavemen. And what you can go is, you know, anarcho as in like anarcharism, like, you know, something out of time, like in a historical timeline, like putting a pocket watch on a Roman soldier, for example, as an, an example of an anarcharism in like a historical movie or something, but then primitivism. So wait, sorry, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I thought when I read it. Sorry, maybe it is, whatever. Either way, it's still, it's the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Either way, he's not wrong. Go on with that idea. Regardless. Yea, no, I'm saying it could be anything. Well, it could be both in the way that if it was an anarcharism then, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't actually played through it, I've watched bits for it, but I've also done all of the lore books and shit in it, because that's what I'm actually interested in. Right, right. And uhm, I did a video on the gods of the Reach, which is really, really uhm, it's cool, I really like the Reachman religion, it's really interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, I did- I was confused. I thought Saisahan didn't ever- he was never a successful sword singer, but he tried to revive it but failed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think we can move on from turd helmets to dregs equals dragons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's a few things like equals dragons here and I'm just sort of like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coder, like obviously there's like, there's Michael Kirkbride's Coder, which is just his like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ending piece to uhm, to uh, to Morrowind essentially. It's like his success. Cause, cause a coder, I think in music, it's, it's the ending to a, to a song, but it kind of changes something fundamental about the song. I forget the exact definition for a coder and a piece of music, but for example,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] together, but there isn't, there is a change or something that happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it, maybe it is. I can't remember. I just remember there being something about a substantial, like there's a change that happens in it. So the example for Morrowind's one is that it's like, you know, it takes from like a fantasy world into what is like a sci-fi story essentially set in the moon with the Dunmer and so on, but then still like wraps up the story entirely. Cause people go like, oh, Coda makes it canon. When they, when they mean by that is not that like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone just has coders, like he, he, the principal idea that Coda puts forth is that Elder Scrolls is an inherently like interpretable sort of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, universe thing. So I can imagine how like Shakespeare has all of these different plays and there's like, you know, hundreds of different versions of Hamlet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you wouldn't necessarily, some people would, but the idea is that you don't go, well that hamlet's not valid and that hamlet is, and that's the only way a hamlet is supposed to be. It's very accepted that hamlet is this sort of source material that gets interpreted and transformed as long as it maintains sort of these same


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chronologically, it doesn't make sense because of the dragon cult before and all that kind of stuff, but the other thing there about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's like a god mind that they almost have, there's the one that they're living in the world, like Vivek references, he's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, in his waking life, but then there's also this god world kind of thing that kind of exists outside of time. It doesn't inherently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's not like, time isn't chronological for God. So for example, if it was the idea that Elysium created Akatosh, then the concept of Akatosh enters the universe irrelevant of space and time. So then when the concept of Akatosh is there,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The concept of dragons and the firstborn of Akatosh Alduin and stuff can happen, but the insertion in time could be earlier or later or whatnot. It doesn't matter because the concept is just there, period. If that makes any sense at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you have gods existing outside of time, it changes things because the past is malleable in the same way that the future or present- It's like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yes, same idea. So the same idea that like, cause now, and it's a, it's the easiest way to insert retcons, but now Cyrodiil never was jungle in, do you know what I mean? Ever since Talos, you know, did that. So yeah, ideas and concepts transcend time. I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, next one, dregs are L's, and the only reference I can think of to this is in the 36 Lessons of Vivec when they are referred to as the Ultima of the Sea. But that's about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I mean, she definitely, but if it wasn't, it wouldn't be except Nerovar because she definitely screwed over Nerovar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it just like, it's just like, Nerova was a cuck meme. It's like. I was thinking that. She was too busy screwing up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I'm gonna get the definition of quantum. I mean. A discreet quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation it represents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's another Kirk, but I think it's like a magazine kind of thing, like an online magazine, TomorrowWinds Today. Oh gosh. Like a future. It's a, it's like a fan related thing. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've heard people refer to it as well as like any like futuristic, like, can't remember if it is a code, cause it's not exactly a code, but like a, a future, uh, Morrowind, on, like a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like a, uhm, sci- like if you would imagine, I guess, a sci-fi Morrowind. Like, but not- I'm onto Morrowind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, this is unrelated, but this is circling back to what you're talking about with like the, the red eagle, um, stuff and how he got the she hi and all that kind of stuff. That just gives me so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm pretty sure, do you know the first Pocket Guide to the Empire? I'm pretty sure is actually one of the booklets that comes with, all of the Pocket Guides I think are just booklets that came with the game. So it came with Redguard Adventures, and that's when it had all of this cool stuff written.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and it was sort of setting up the lore for Morrowind and everything and then we, you know, got Morrowind and also the coolest depictions of Skyrim and Cyrodiil, but we ever, you know, we didn't really get those. And the third pocket guide to the Empire, I'm pretty sure came with Oblivion, Collector's Edition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what do you guys think about Numantius PhD?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Numinatus, sorry. Numinatus, PhD.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's, uh, let's, uh, red button that one and move on to Jaygarthan as a CSC and like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It kind of becomes the equivalent of just our, like, you know, our world's, George Bush is a lizard man, so is the Queen a lizard man, the CS is just the swap for lizard people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The right reaching is in the 36 Lessons of Eveq. Yeah. So, uh, this is part of the scripture of the wheel. It's in the fifth scripture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at its center and all you see is the begotten hole, second serpent, womb ready for the right reaching, exact and without enchantment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there is the sim- like, I can imagine the High Elves being simply like, oh yeaah, he was banished to Pandania, but maybe it was some like, brutal civil war or something, and then Organum did something to sunder Old Merus and actually blew up the island, if you take it as a literal place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, maybe just like downplaying him, you know, if you can destroy a whole continent that just adds to how like, you know, scary and powerful he is, I guess, maybe. But you can't get to Somerset. Yeah, giant swells.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well that's the, unless that's what I was thinking might be referenced to that Kirkbride, I think it's from those seven fights of the Elder Dagger or Elder Dagger or whatever it is, that the painted cows are mentioned. And then that was then canonized into Skyrim with these painted cows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's another example of just like why I guess like even Coder and stuff exists is that there's been lots of examples of like people writing out of lore things and then they get canonized or certain interpretations of fans and then in the later games they sort of become canonized. So there is kind of a little bit of back and forth with the fans and their theories and lore and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Into, uhm, the actual games. So, I guess that's kinda like more so, justifies it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were related or something, like some gaseous thing. It's basically a creature that never made it into-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless it was an offhand line, but like the rest of the stuff, like all that elaborate information there is all from, uhm, unofficial sources.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so that's, and that's only if you, I guess you believe Underking is Izmir Wulfoth or was at one point or whatnot. But, um, yeah, and this is the Ebonheart Pact stuff where- Oh, your favorite, you know all about this. Yeah, and Almalexia fought alongside Izmir Wulfoth, which just does not seem matched up, but whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure if it was older, like pre-ESO lore or something, there was some other...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thing there, I'm not sure, I can't- but look, I just don't really buy into this being some-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like maybe there was some like bit of conspiring or something that maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So typing his name, it's a, it seems he's, it's either a white, like an A-Lid or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's funny, Keijo sounds, uh, like, you know, Khajiit, but, um, Chorvak kinda sounds sayessy. Like, Savry and Chorak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, Amaranth, Anon? I've lost where I am. Yeah, Amaranth, Anon, Anu.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anu, like the, that force was the previous like, amaranth to become the godhead or something. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it is roughly getting at the idea, like that, that Anu is, is the Godhead and Padme just kind of being the limitations on the being, I don't know. It gets worked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, the next one is actually a, I've heard theory before, the YR founded 4th Era Thalmor and the YR is, uh, the guy commenting, they're like the elven guy commenting on the first pocket guides of the empire. So when they're saying like things like, you know, that, um, it's like one in 10 baby, uh, sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only nine in ten babies are killed, uhm, for eugenic reasons. In the Somerset Isles, Helac kind of is responding and adding notes to this pocket guide, so sort of throwing a bit of shade on it. So I guess the idea is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this is why our guy founded the Thalmor, which is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's outside of why I doesn't like the empires. You know, I, you know, there's no like strong grounding for that. I don't think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Arius? A-R-I-U-S? Is this a character or something? We might have to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and this is sourced from the Generate Class page on the Elder Scrolls Arena. The first- No, really. It's like- Yea, it's really a lore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Parliament of Craters, what do we think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's two, there's two extra quotes from it. There's a Kirkbride one that says,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And someone saying it was an archaic term for greater collovial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, not really. I don't know. I always get the vibe that the Thelmore are less competent than people give them credit for. Like they're competent but then also incompetent. You know what I mean? Like I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. The next one is the striking or exact egg cracking, which is from Michael Kirkbride, more about the Siddic endeavor and the Siddic endeavor being the sort of, um, like the triangle truth, basically the velocity philosophy kind of thing. And it says, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well, it says, uh, well, I don't know, this is the quote, representations of the Kim and by extension the Sijic Endeavor are always protein values such as Anumidi models.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Obscure reference, I guess. Yeah, I mean that's all I see with it. That's a good one. Next. Um, sentient Thras. So Thras being the big, eh, um, like I guess country or island, continent, whatever that, um, the Sloan come from. Cause that's, you know, being undersea. Maybe that's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's the best we're gonna get. I like it. I like it. That's cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's secret messages in here, uhm, so one of the secret messages is the ghost of a god is no man, and Vivec committed no crime, and then another one, to the Dwemer and Oblivion belong this treasure and they are dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and then there is also White Gold Netch Merchants. Chara Muzoraya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold the key on 1200 in the lightning struck dragon tower. I bind these daedra guardians under the seed apple lattice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no. Okay, let's, uh, let's move on from that one. Um, where are we? Ebony listening frame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so this is a 36 lessons thing again, I think, or it might be another Kirkbride thing, but I've heard basically the explanation that it's an allegory for like vagina. Um, it's how he killed one of the, actually it might even be the demon chieftains. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I'm pretty sure that happens in the- I'm fine. In the, what to call it. Oh my god, I'm stronger than we're.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, it's a relation to Vivec too, as like remember Vivec being a hermaphrodite, possessing both, and you know, the ebony listening frame or mawatra being like the, the penis, the spear. Oh, he said a naughty word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. All right. Let's go. HIST. HIST. HIST. Jillian Wars. So I'm assuming that's referencing the Jill, as in those. The female.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I don't know what there is to that outside of that. I feel like that's-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess. Naharton, I think. Well, that's what I say, but I don't know. Um, the, uh, yeah, so I guess it's just the idea that maybe it's out there. So it left the shores of Black Marsh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, for some reason I thought it would actually be the uhm, when Morrow House and like the early, the first time they, like it is referred to the Citadel, I think they do refer it to, do they call White Gold the Citadel at one point? I can't remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's referenced, I think, in another Kirkbride thing, of course, in Nuhata of the Sphinx Moth Inquiry Tree. Uhm, Tiber Septims says a line,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can't even see it, it says mantled, or mantled, I dunno. By the way of the fourth, the steps of the dead, mantling and incarnation are separate roads. Do not mistake this, the latter is built from the cobbles of drawn bone destiny, the former. Walk like them until they must walk like you. This is the death of- This is the death children bring as the sons of horror.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Righto, uhm, the next one though we're kind of somewhat familiar with is the Aelids bird people, which is the idea that the Aelids weren't elves, but they actually were the bird people, right? That they- I mean, there's a lot of theories about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But so maybe dragons have tusks, although they do in, doesn't the ones in elsewhere and stuff have like, they kind of have like the tusky look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This design is sick. Yeah. Well I guess there you go, some dragons do have tusks. Mystery solved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, maybe it's, unless it's trying to say like they're saying that Lorkhan's heart is the egg of time, like that's what it's actually referring to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Like I, but I guess, but wouldn't that apply to everything if they're trying to make the argument that, you know, like water is memory and then, you know, you drink water and you're made up of water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, just write whatever they want and we'll like, research it and expect it's gotta be real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The blank slate. How about the eight- how about the 82nd croto?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, this has got a thing where it's saying Michael Kirkbride is in this or something and he was saying how to pronounce things and it's saying like Dwayne. Oh, I've already seen that. Don't get me started. Dunmer is Doonmare and Chimer for Chimer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty good. I don't mind that. I tell you what, it's actually more conce- it can, you know, makes it more realistic in the way like, you know, tomato, tomato, like people do pronounce things differently in the world. But I don't think I've ever heard Dwaymere as- No, that's just the thing, he was-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't know if it's, unless it's kind of, I don't know, just it's the, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there's a 36 lessons. Yeah, guess who wrote about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the requisite, uh, the requisite, uh, aida, chymelec, holding tendrils activated, preventing imperial collapse,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The uh, the Amulet of Kings granted to the Concoon Council that the Spore Dream at Arda 8 Aedra


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, uh, Tiber and Harold die at 108, and I'm pretty sure that's just a coincidence between Tiber Septim and King Harold. Dying on the set. Dying at 108. Oh, at 108, sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. So he died, you know, this is way early. This is like first era stuff, but yeah, he died at 108 and so did Tiber Septim, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The gar-toki. Gar-toki. Because gar-tok I'm pretty sure means hand. The weapon. Altidune's the weapon. Altidune's the weapon. Gar-tok's hand. So is this saying the handy? Is this just a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Gartok means hand in Daedric, and it's referenced plenty of times in the 36 Lessons, and it just says the Gartoki, and I'm like, is this ga- like, like handy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, was it, but did it, was it phrased differently? Like they worship Jiggalag or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's... I just literally have no idea. What does klexographic mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if like, you know how we're going into some pretty deep lore right now. You know how we, um, I wonder if like achieving Kim or zero sum, right? If it actually feels like you're melting. Cause like, I feel like I'm melting going through this list. Like, does this like just melt into a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, so I guess the idea is that this is Merrin's day gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I guess, unless Verseduche survived, and it wasn't him that was killed, and he took on the skin of Xeratharctus, and then- I don't think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's Versadouchebag. That sounds like a meme. King's Cough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, maybe, uh, unless it's like some reference, like, you know, King Wolfarth, like he had to, uh, rule with, uh, like he could only write down his, um, laws and stuff because if he said them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, alright, kind of similar page. Uh, the catalyst. Let's check the 36 lessons of vacancy if it's here. Hang on, wait a sec. So wait, I was right about the chat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, the catalyst is such a vague thing, I don't know, it's the catalyst event. Maybe it's the Oblivion Crisis, which is the catalyst for all the events of the fourth era, or maybe it was, or maybe it's like the defining point at the end of the big battle at the end of the world that is Elson's start of the world, which is the Dawn Era catalyst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, how about, how about sayessence? As in like, I don't know, is that just a play on like sayessie and transcendence and how like a sayessie is transcending?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, there's people that talk about him mantling Pelennor, like when he, when you fight Umeril as a leader. I was thinking that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, unless the theory is trying to say that Pelinal Whitetrake time-travelled again and literally was the prisoner that became the hero of Kvatch and did all that stuff and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amiel Arctus, who's this? Uhm, let's have a look. Ziren's hot daughter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, how about then we go to Vek ships, which are basically just space ships. I'm pretty sure they were just used in the Landfall story for the Dunmer, I think. Uhm, how they got to the moon, basically. Uhm, Falmer equals Hermified Humans. What is Hermified? I have no idea and can't find. Unless it's like Hermamore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so, suicide trolls is, there is actually a troll in Oblivion that has committed suicide under a bridge because he fails at making a bridge toll, so he got drunk and drowned himself, so that's a suicide troll. Uhm, Vivek Extreme Daddy Issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, cause he was the son of a netchman's, a netchman and a netchman's wife, and I guess he had daddy issues, and that's turned him into a... Well yeah, I mean he went after Moloch Baal, didn't he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do we think? Not bird alyds, but what about alien alyds?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but so did the Dwemer and I wouldn't call them aliens. I think the alien, alien is only relative anyway, like, you know, what an alien is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though there is more to them, because the next one, insect god, is actually something that's legit, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was this tribe called the Men of Ghee in the, in the Adaballah. There is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It says they were, who were eventually destroyed by the Flower King Nilukai, who made a great sacrifice to an insect god named, and in parenthesis lost, because you just don't know the name of the god, but that's an Aelid King called Flower King Nilukai, who sacrificed this whole tribe of men to some insect god. Uhm, in the video on Aelid Kings I did, I, I, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I basically hypothesized it could be a bunch of different kind of, uh, daedric princes, like in a different form or something, or it could be an entirely new God. Yeah. I think I even said like, I had a few guesses at it, but, um.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, what, what was the source of that insect god thing? Uhm, the, uhm, Adabal- No, it's from Oblivion. No, okay. Uhm, the Adabal-uh, and it's, uhm, yeaah. Okay. It's by Morrow House, apparently, written by him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, there's the insect god. Uh, next. Unend the fox, I'm pretty sure is another name that the propellant went by in his earlier years or something. Was it not? Or is that Hans the fox?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll always remember Fox too is, is the, you know, the Nordic symbol associated with Shaw, you know, and being a trickster, like a tricky little fox kind of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so what was it, what equals what? RK. Equals RK. But with like a, an apostrophe kind of thing. In the middle. Gosh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In one of the songs of, um, Wolfarth, I'm pretty sure it refers to him as King Dumalekath. That sounds really familiar. Yeah. And that kind of like blends, you know, it's another sort of, I don't know, I guess combining


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But unless so, maybe Dwarves and Orcs are somehow related because I mean, King Dumac of the Dwarves and then calling him Dumalekath kinda seems to imply, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Tosh Raka is uh, Raka or whatever, that's just the Capitan king guy that sort of became the dragon, tiger god thing in Akavir. It's mentioned in the Mysterious Akavir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yes. Yeah, it's from Morrowind. Is it in a bottle in the ocean? Which-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow. Okay. It's pretty long. Yeah, so it's an in-game book. I don't know how much there is to that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't remember if it even is explicitly called that in Coda or something. Or no, something else. The Dominion Prism Textract, again written by Kirkbride. It's mentioned in there. Um, which is like, I don't know where he gets off on making all this like mathematical work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Yeah. King of worms equals the under king. What do we reckon?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, I heard this one, it's fine. I forget the basis for it, but 500 companions were all dragons. I didn't know all dragons, but like, it would kind of make sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess it would make sense as to why they could like easily push out all the snow elves and stuff. It's because they were actually dragons with the dragon cult and then they got established in Skyrim like, but I don't know. I don't really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I could, I could buy easily that there were some dragons that came over with them perhaps. Like if you wanted to push that theory, I feel like some, but not all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, what about the dreamer can't wake up? So that's referencing the godhead. So can't wake up. I mean, if it woke up, then the dream would no longer be a dream, would it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, here, now we're gonna start getting into some nuts stuff. Fargoth's Ring. So, you know, when you start Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind, you find a ring and a barrel and this, and Fargoth's looking for his ring and you can give it to him and he's like, thanks buddy. I'll give you, my mate will give you a discount at the shop. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wasn't it made in secret? I think it was? Which is kinda crazy, I don't know how they made that in secret, but, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A mystery with pretty much no answers, I imagine. I don't know if you can really say anything about it. But can you say anything about Master Redshift?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michael Kirkbride again, Imperial Library, talking about the Magnege pantheon. So Master Redshift documents the pantheon of the Magnege.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well, uh, how about some Dwemer misinterpretation? I don't know what this means. Yeah, it's a very like... I dunno.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's, I guess, him regretting to be a part of the whole creation and then he's like, oh, that's it. I don't want to lose my power. I'm out. And then he rips through the tear and Mundus and becomes the sun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's cause like the Elder Scrolls built a time like, you know, like Tolkien.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think was like the first like modern fantasy thing or something talking about how, like if you read the Silmarillion, it's all about like it's this big song that started that creates the world. And while it's not as explicit in the Elder Scrolls, there's all of like the tonal architecture, sword singing, the key eye, the thorn, like all of the metaphysical universe bending powers all have to do with music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the ascended sleepers in their big like, flute trunk things and, you know, it's a, it's a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Riemann Expedition to the center of Nurn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what's up. I'm sure that maybe there is something to this one. Maybe he's a deep one. He's the deep ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So is it trying to say that the divine is like the mantled the godhead?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they're a bunch of, um, characters from, from Coda. Uhm, I can't remember if they're the ones like with TVs for heads. Or, or the holographic-y people. I can't remember. It's, they're characters in the Coda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we'll, uh, scroll vault under white gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next one is Morghaya's first, and this one has an easy explanation actually, but we just, it's a mystery. So Queen Morghaya is the, um, daughter of Queen Barenziah, and basically she was trying to get a marriage to King Reamon Karudil, ruler of the kingdom of first hold on


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Auradon. Assuming that means some- that's another name for Somerset. Or is it not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The eastern coast of Auradon is one of the 14 islands on Somerset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but anyway, to secure the king's hand, she endeavored to give him what he desired most, to speak again with a son who had died.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To this end, more Gaia made contact with Manamaco, King of Worms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And basically, with the help of your character in Daggerfall, a deal was struck. So Mannimarco held up his end of the bargain to return this person's son so she could get married. But she, and in return, Morgaya promised to give him her first. Though exactly what this means is a mystery. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, like when you say more guys first, it kinda seems like, I don't know, maybe it's just my head, but I like, it goes straight to like, you know, virginity, like sex, that's kinda what it gets like, first, but like, I don't know, like I can imagine it would like dark pack things, but otherwise I don't know what else that means.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or maybe, or maybe the Thalmor engineered the last Dragonborn's birth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about Maricardi created Tamriel? Like as in the Maricardi Selectives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's an actual, here's a, here's one that might have something to it. Let's see if we can work with this one. Meridia is Lorcan's lover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about akatosh nun equals nun equals oblivion?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Duh. That's good. Next. We can just skip that one, it doesn't even- It's good stuff. Uh, how about Sotha Sil's daughter? Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. I think it was, I can't remember how much it is in Daggerfall, but ever since Morrowind, he's been a very significant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, how about, uh, Mantellin portal in the Iliac?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, hold on, is it not just a, is it a play though? Is this just a play, either, I can't remember in Daggerfall how you exactly get into the Mantell and Kruk stuff, but, but is it just a play on the whole like earlier one, which was like portal in the Nibene, in the, um, Nibene Basin. Yeah, like the Shivering Isles. Yeah, the Shivering Isles. Is it just a play on that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I'm happy being wrong if it's not. Let's move on. We'll go to Azura Hotel. What do you think? That was the thing in Turkey, right? Like, that's just an IRL meme. Oh yeah, that is too. Yeah, yeah. This is Hotel in Turkey with like a statue that looks like Azura because it's got like a star in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, what about the plot device realm? It's the realm where all the plot devices are from. That's about it, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you find like Dwemer spoons or whatnot or Dwemer coins, there's all people in there. Yeah, so you just vore them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, what about the HIST dream matrix? I feel like this we could connect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like maybe it's something like, well, do you know how there was that vague thing before about like Riemann some space station or something on the moon? Maybe he's stored, come for like a lineage. Just a sperm bank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Kim Quantum Witness, or Chim Quantum Witness however you want to call it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, the Heimskier Dream Sleeve Broadcast. I can't remember, maybe I'm making this up in my head, but I can't remember if this is something that happens in Coda, or if there is some like playing broadcast, because there's all kinds of like technological stuff, but maybe I'm completely wrong. Maybe it's just talking about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, people hear drums, I don't know, like an internet broadcast. It's like, homeskis the Alex Jones of their time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so the blind god is apparently a god that's guarding the Mantellan Crux, who took the form of a giant skull. Didn't do very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Considering we went there and took it. Yeah. Good job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watch the sky dot dot. Is that a reference to something they say about the dragons, the citizens or anything or in Skyrim? I feel like it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Tiber Septim was an orc. Thoughts?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is just, we're just getting silly now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trans-amaranthian travel. So I guess that's the idea of going between, like the amaranth being the new dream or like another godhead kind of thing. So going between.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's- on the Tesla thing, there's, uh, I am Kenazombo Mokafa, and I can prove that you do not exist. Oh, this is the- yeah, this is what I was talking about with-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kind of read it as they are the, like, antithetical to the Amaranth, or like, you know, like if you're going like, oh, there's a good god and like a evil god, like they're the opposite to the Amaranth or-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about, how about, section 22.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is just a reference to the merchant mud crab ride and the idea. You wish you would love that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about Nightmara, as in like, Nightmother?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, only thing I can think of significant is, you know, how like they have the intelligent pigs on the Isle of Art team, like the Sigicorder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, if you look at the, there's the pig children, that's about the pig. Pretty sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You aware of Uriel the Seventh's daughter?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like there's nothing to it outside, that's the daughter, but I'd love to be proved wrong, honestly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, yes, Talon Amaranth, I guess it's trying to make the idea that the, uh, arena character, the eternal champion is Amaranth. I don't know what the basis is for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about, what's actually, this sounds like there could be something, the abortion or the black one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that sounds like there could be something that's legit. I hope so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is up ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Fudge Mopper, this is the Elder Scrolls Podcast, I'm Scott, I'm here with Michael and Drew, as always and today we are talking about Azura, the Daedric Prince.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we can start talking about like the, the, the biggest, the probably most like famous thing she's known for, which is kind of creating the Dark Elves. So you, so you have the Chima.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, not chief among them, but a very important one was Azura. And Azura was actually like directly credited with making Suri like the, well she did make Curse them to make them Ashen Skin and Red Eyes and turn them into the Dunmer. Now this all happened because we have Endoril Nerevar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, the story is simply Azura cursed them with Ashen skin and red eyes and set forth a Nerevarine prophecy that one day Idn Dora Nerevar would return and, you know, restore the balance to the world kind of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's crazy with the tribunal like doing, they made a show of it because the poisoned candles and poisoned robes and such that were used to kill


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Neravar in one of the versions were also used to summon Azura herself and sort of like just kind of give her the big middle finger. But something I wanted to bring up here, which is really good, there's a line in the book Neravar at Red Mountain, which gives us more insight into how gods think about things. Cause we get a little bit from Vivek.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is innately implying a sort of, uh, existence that's outside the limitations of just linear time because it seems like an event that occurs will just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, to be fair, if you were to think about it a little differently, it's not so much, oh, the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Dunmer turned her back on her. It's more like the Tribunal turned back on her. Yea, for sure. And then therefore she cursed their entire race. And then they were like, oh my god, I'm grey, I'm red. I'm like, oh my, what's happened to us? And then the Tribunal got shut up, blah, don't worry, blah, blah. You know, we're here to, to, you know, you know, take, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take pride in your new appearance and so on, and it's a time of new age kind of thing, but it's like, it was, like, it's a pretty cruel punishment in terms of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How, how many people it affected outside it, because it was just the tribunal that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I think overall, like, I mean, I wouldn't be too fan of a god who just like, you know, gave me a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I think the thing with, with, with her is, like I said, I think that, I don't know if I'm going to paraphrase this quote by Drew, the, the vanity, well, um, well-fed is benevolent, but, um, vanity, starving is spiteful. Hungry is spiteful. But she is like, in those examples, she kind of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She, you know, she's all happy to give you love and if you're in that relationship, but it's like, you wouldn't want her to be your ex-girlfriend because she will destroy you. She will tear down your name in front of everyone. It's that classic sort of like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I think that's the interesting sort of duality about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I feel like in that sort of way, like, you know how I can imagine because she has that sort of emotional investment in things, she can kind of be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spiteful in that sort of, in her rage. So her, her punishments aren't measured accordingly. Cause you have like, I'm not going to think about this reason. It's a very emotional sort of, how dare you, blah, blah, blah. I don't deserve this. Damn. They like, you know, I feel like I'm describing some like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Relationship sitcom kind of thing, like you mentioned, like the fight, but I feel like that's what embodies her and makes her, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rage, different, compared to others and a bit more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of like symbolic of her, of what can happen if she, she's all beautiful and graceful and everything's wonderful, but if you turn against her, you're getting the wings twilight kind of thing. Like, that aggressive, I'm going to shred you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well I guess we can just start talking more about the Khajiit and continue with like more so explain her role to the Khajiit because she's a one


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She supposedly changed the, the way the Kaima could be and that's why they became the changed ones because they could like live differently. Then she changed them into the Dunmer. Then she also changed the, um, base Elven stock into the Khajiit, which you'll get into, but she's very, change is a part of her sphere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, and if you were also, just to throw another way out there is, uh, with, um, egotism and so on. But if you, if you take that as more in a very basic sense of the idea of an ego or concept of the self, like that kind of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? It's very essential to the beginning of a universe. You need things to be able to recognize themselves as an individual ego.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think, I think overall she's one of the more compelling princes compared to others because she has so many bits and pieces to her and so on and once again she is one of those sort of more


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Human oriented, uhm, Daedra, and by that I don't mean human opposed elves, I mean as immortal oriented, like even just ideas that she's said to bewitch some of her followers to become like lovers and stuff like that, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's that, it's all based on relationships, a lot of two people and stuff that, you know, it needs to, for her realm to sort of function. So like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clavicus Vile and Barbas and some of the other gods, it kind of has that like personal element, which makes them more interesting of a character compared to, you know, some of the more basic ones like Hermaeus Mora or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, so I guess start with uhm, start us off with, tell us the Khajiit story, cause she, cause Azura to the Khajiit is really important. She's a like, centerpiece of pretty much all of it. So, take it away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that also like changes their forms with the different, um, positionings of the moons as well. So yeah, centerpiece of, of, of the Khajiit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's funny how in her, in a lot of the typical mythologies, not the Khajiit one, she's sort of, the sort of vanity, egotism kind of element is emphasized. There's the fate and prophecy as well, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the, she's far more benevolent sounding in the Khajiit one at least, in the Khajiit mythology. But what's interesting is she has, uhm, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way that she's spoken about, I perceive it as more like, there's a lot more wisdom to her and a bit more of the magic and the fake prophecy, but not in a way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a way that it conveys wisdom and stuff, and I love her connection with Hamora.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never really heard that connection much, but with him being an infinite being of knowledge kind of thing, it fits right in with fate and prophecy and so on. So you can imagine, like I'm imagining Azura walking through some like kind of aquatic version of Apocrypha, just like picking pages from walls and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, even, even the nature of the Nerovian prophecy too, you know how though we've mentioned this before, but like talking about how.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Laying out a prophecy is kind of, like self-fulfilling prophecies essentially, like creating them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Nerevarine, there was plenty of failed incarnates before the final one that actually does the trick. So it's that kind of like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of, even though she's, it's like, even though she's all about fate and prophecy, it's like, prophecy and fate sort of undetermined. She's just going to set what she wants. Like, this is what I want to happen. And then there's even failures, but then it's like, oh, eventually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's something around, I think it's something like around 3200 years that it took to actually successfully happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, okay, let's start talking about some of her artifacts, and I do just want to mention Moon and Star first, because we're talking about Nerevar and Nerevarine. So, this was a, it was made by Cagrinac. It's a Dwemer-made ring, so it's all beautiful and everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, but then it's blessed by the Daedric Goddess Azura. And then basically it's worn by Nerevar and it's supposed to give him all of this like supernatural charm and, and, and, uh, charisma. Persuasion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, funnily enough, it's like, I think it's like something like plus five personality in game, it's really weak, but like you imagine the effect is way better than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, it also, only he can wear it. If you wear it and you're not him, you'll die. And that's how you prove yourself to be the Nerevarine, is that you can successfully wear the Moon and Star Ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, yeaah, that's just a cool little piece. But obviously her more, you know, famous artifact is Azura's star.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think it's just because the Dwemer are renowned for being great craftsmen, so they want to steal their artifacts. So is Goldbrand the one said to be made by dragons?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Azura? I know it was blessed by Azura, but was that the original? Yeah. Yeah, so it was all made for him, and it was kind of like a representative thing of the Dwemer and Kyma Union, kind of. Like the bond between Dumak and Neravah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's interesting too because, because oblivion introduced, I'm pretty sure it was oblivion that introduced the concept of black soul gems. So you can't like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Azura's star can't capture a mortal soul, how's it going to capture a god's soul or something and then, you know, it's got to become a black star first. Yeah, right. But this is, this is just gameplay mechanics. The way I like to see the Azura's star is a bit more just, it's a super powered, um, soul gem. Like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean, and in Morrowind it did, you can use it to pretty sure capture the souls of greater beings than just a, just like a creature or something, so, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so it's interesting too in the high elf that uhm, because in that getting the black star in that quest is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's kind of thrown to you as sort of the moral thing to do by the high elf. I can't remember if it's Nelkar. Nelkar? Nelkar. Something like that. He kind of says like, oh, the Daedra are evil. They, they like do all these evil things. Just, I don't give it back to her. Don't she, she shouldn't have it kind of thing. And you know, risky move, but he sort of like, you know, traditional sort of Elven kind of view of things.

[Assistant] So just to add another little tid that, like a little tad of info there about her Dagger 4 quest, because she's basically just charged, like so the agent of the blades, that's the main character or whoever you play, but basically she sent someone to kill a monk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? Like. Oh, she is, she is petty. It's like if you're going to follow her, you have to stay on a good side or you're going to get screwed. Like you can't, you can't like sort of, you can't leave on good terms. You can't be like, this was an amicable breakup. Like you can't just, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, pretty much. Pretty much. She is the queen of simps. Like, it's quite literally her domain. Like, everyone just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like that's the better one. I mean, there's, there are some dirty jokes here. Rim of all holes is a legitimate name she's associated with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know where that's from? It's from the first pocket guide. So if you type in the first, um, pocket guide to the empire, like the actual like title thing, it has like, you know, to Akatosh to Kenareth and everything all one way. And then it has the 16 acceptable blasphemies and it's written backwards, but it's just to Azura, the rim of all holes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love how this is, to generate from all this like, you know, talk of prophecy and magic and mystery and all, oh, she changes and she's so important. She's changed all these races. She's so important to everything. And then it turns into Daedra of Sims and Amethyst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of a little, you know, shitty gift for such a big effort. Yeah, I know, I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, he, I mean, I don't know, Dagothur kinda wants, well he thinks everything is him, so I guess, look, we're not gonna go on a Dagothur, that's another episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think that wraps up everything in Zura, unless you guys have any other extra insights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Cause really there's not much to it outside of that essential act, kind of. A lot of the intricacies and stuff come from the varying accounts of Red Mountain and so on, but I do find that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That both with Vivek and her quote, the idea that all events happen at once, like it's kind of a, if you, if you were to think about it in a different way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might, you can't kind of have something happen to you and go, oh well, you know, the past is in the past because the past is the now and the future and everything's all at once. So a slight against her can't be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in a way, holding a grudge can be seen through a different lens, because if you perceive it as it's always happening to her, because time is always being experienced, all events at once. So there is no past to past. You slided me back then. It's like a, it's a constant thing almost for us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a bit more warranted in the, in that sense. Her bitterness. Her bitterness, sorry, to, to, um, and her lashing out because of the way it affects her, though through a mortal lens, you can't really comprehend how bad this thing, you know, Oh, I just quickly, I just stole her artifact. It's, you know, Oh, no biggie. She's a big, powerful Daedra, but that event is like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's another way to, to, you know, give her a little bit of more


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just to throw another little link out there, but the Khajiit and, uh, Dunmer mythologies in ways are kind of linked. Like the, the Azura Mephala, uh, Boethiah trio, um, are seen together in both of those versions. Azura is much more prominent in the Khajiit one, but they are, they are like, they do hang out together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Boethiar and Mephala and Azura in various stories. Good friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's such a uhm, yeaah, I just think that's a really cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kinda like, let's just list all the characters, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess, uh, at the end of the day it's, uh, don't steal, be good to your neighbor, and the thieves guild are all shill hacks, don't listen to them, they're just trying to recruit you for, uh, their own ends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I can agree with that. I think it's his mystery that makes him interesting in a way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in Elder Scrolls Online, a lot of the stuff they did add about him outside of Reachman culture, which is a cool thing we'll talk about, is kind of like what you'd expect from a Namira cult group. Like, it is the very like, ooh, gross, like, disease, plague, or like, yes, I'll spread this illness. It's the blessing of periites.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, which seems to be a common manifestation of his fear in Tamriel, at least in the way mortals can understand it, because being the Taskmaster, no matter how much of an important role it is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't really have a physical presence. Like, I don't think you'll find any mortals being like, mm, I'm really good at making checklists and being organized and I worship Peri-ite. Like, that's a lot more boring if you think about it than anything to do with disease and pestilence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're 100% right. Uhm, when I say checklist, I mean more the taskmaster element of his sphere, not the disease and pestilence. Because, outside of the disease and pestilence stuff, he is the one who keeps order in the lower planes of oblivion. I think the quote is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's one of those, uhm, interviews. Lord Farnuiten and tutor Raperius answer your questions document where he talks about how Peria is kept mighty busy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, with all the daedrons and chaotic creation and things like that. Uhm, so there seems to be two roles that he has.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there's the natural order of the world, as, as you're talking about, and obviously, uhm, you can guard against the hazards of overpopulation and abundance and expansion by bringing it back into balance by sending a plague through and killing everyone, but then he also seems to have this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I was just gonna say, yeaah, it is like that, the only strange thing is what constitutes natural order, because if you were to think about it, a society expanding


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I don't want to get into determinism, but it's like, if that was meant to happen, if that is the natural flow of cause and effect, why does Peri-ite get to decide, mm, this is too much?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it is, it is interesting cause I've heard a few perspectives on Peria, like through reading different sources and stuff and some of it implies like he's the taskmaster and doing this kind of low order oblivion realm stuff because he's the weakest, like he was kind of put in that position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His desire to do so, or because they're kinda like, uh, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're the HM bitch essentially of my Pokemon party and you're gonna learn fly, surf, and cart and all this. Uhm, because you're not useful for anything else and he doesn't have a choice because they're all stronger than him and so he gets delegated to that. I'm not saying that's 100% true, I'm just wondering if that's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suppose there is a, the, so the Farnuit Han, I'm not exactly sure how to pronounce it. Yeah, I've never heard of it. The sign, the sign of Boethiah, uhm, basically,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, oh, actually that's not even, no, this is actually raparious, tutor raparious in that document that answers. So I'll just read it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you mortals so good at acquiring knowledge and so quick to learn the wrong lessons from it.
