Cherim Muzariah

Post » Sun Jun 20, 2010 5:06 am

From http://www.imperial-library.info/jobasha/sermon0revealed.shtml:

White Gold netch merchants Cherim Muzariah

Hold the key on twelve hundred

And the lightning struck Dragon Tower.

I bind these Daedra guardians under the Seed-apple Lattice.


Jobasha has this to say about the secret message: "Cherim is Jobasha's good friend, shared much sugar, many sands. Cherim is famous tapestry maker, puts the ja'Kha'Jay in every one. White Gold is one of his best, one of the least often seen. It shows the White Tower, a dragon spirals around it, a moth priest at the top. Very famous moment, but few men remember."

"Have you not heard of Muzariah and her death at the hands of the Three Angry Men? Muzariah was Indoril by birth and a painter by choice. Her best painting lies in the cellars of the Imperial Palace by Imperial decree. No one wishes to destroy such beauty, but no one wishes it to be seen. A dilemna."

"But Jobasha says too much."

...

Another reminder from Jobasha: "Jobasha reminds you of the green generations, the seed apples, the "significant form" of Jobasha's good friend Cherim."


Uhhh... what? There's no other information on this at all. I also don't know if Jobasha meant to write "white-gold tower" or not, which complicates things. Could he be referring to Marukh? Dragon Tower, from the sentence, seems to mean White-Gold Tower, too, and therefore I gather this painting would be of something from the time of Alessia, since gods were around more back then. Lorkhan/Akatosh flying around doesn't happen all too often.

Does anyone have anything on this?

I'd at least like to know what Muzariah painted that had her thrown in jail by "Three Angry Men." Capitalized. Who are they? There are too many questions from this.

Well that's not too difficult to find out. Not to many groups of three man in Cyrodiil with the power to imprison somebody.

There may not be too many people in Cyrodiil who have the power to imprison somebody... but the text doesn't say anybody was imprisoned. It says Muzariah was killed by Three Angry Men and that her paintings are secreted in the Imperial cellars.

Hold the key on twelve hundred

1200?

1E 1200- The Maruhkati Selective, blah, blah.
2208

So yes, a reference to that, as Proweler points out.

I'd imagine Doug expected to build on this text but never got a chance.
