St. Jiub? More like menace.

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 8:19 am

Everyone constantly says St. Jiub is so great and amazing for driving the Cliff Racers out of morrowind...but wait.

In the infernal city, Morrowind is destroyed :stare:

This means that St. Jiub saved the cliff racers! Now they're in some other province terrorizing someone else! :swear:

Or maybe the change of climate killed them all, but still. Jiub is no saint :glare:

At first I thought this was a thread about the member of this forum, I was gonna add my input. But alas I am disappointed.

I kid I kid

The cliffracers will die from no food anyway.

I hope they decided to fly to Akavir. That will teach those vampire lizards to never mess with Tamriel.

That or they'll tame them and ride them back.

Put down the skooma bottle, step away from the pipe, and please exit the moon sugar-filled shack.

St. Jiub drove the cliff racers out of Morrowind like 50 years before Morrowind was hit by Umbriel. He was a good person for the 50 years worth of Racer screeches he prevented.

Read my other post.

Actually it was Baar Dau, and it fell like 5 years after St Jiub drove them from Morrowind ;)

You're right, Saint Jiub isn't all that great, those racist bastards deserved a menace like the cliffracers. Still, I'm sure the locals were quite happy to be spared the trouble of dealing with cliffracers, and maybe the cliffracers weren't able to survive in the environment of wherever Jiub drove them to. Maybe not such a good thing when you think of it in an objective perspective, seeing as an entire species would have pretty much been driven to extinction then, but hey, they'd have all died when Morrowind was destroyed if they stayed anyway.

Actually it was Baar Dau, and it fell like 5 years after St Jiub drove them from Morrowind


Wasn't it Red Mountain erupting, which was in turn caused by that rock falling when Vivec wasn't around to keep it in the air?

Either way, though, the point is that Morrowind got destroyed.

Oh, your right. Sorry. :cryvaultboy:
If anyone else was mislead like me then here is some information from the Imperial Library.

After Vivec “left, or was destroyed” Morrowind's best minds crated the ingenium, a machine that uses souls to keep the Ministry stationary. p.213

“The ingenium exploded. It hurled Vuhon into Oblivion. Then the ministry crashed into the city [Vivec], and Vvardenfell exp loaded.” p.213

The eruption of Red Mountain destroyed “most” of Morrowind's cities. p.234

Since this is true, why were Anaaig and Mere Glim so upset about Umbriel going over Morrowind? WHY would Umbriel even go over Morrowind if there is nobody down there eh? Does not make much sense to me!

Hmmm I am not so sure that they would have died once Red Mountain went boom... have you ever seen a cliff racer land? I haven't... in fact I don't think they ever do... they would have just flown to the mainland and bugged the crap out of the dunmer there. I think people like Jiub because they like Morrowind and I like Jiub because of that fact alone. It was great that the creature the players hated most got banished by the character people loved yet didn't do a damn thing in the game :)

Oh, they all went to Cyrodiil. How else could the Mighty Empire fall? Ocato's flaws in tactics and proper leadership? No! It was the Cliffracers! What took away Vivec? Not the Daedra! Cliffracers!

Don't you see? They're all conspiring. They had some of their own species light themselves on fire and fly into the Dwemer, they killed Nerevar and blamed it on the Dunmer... Heck they even told Lorkhan to convince the Aedra to create Mundus and separate the Elves from their immortality. They made Mehrunes Dagon want to take over Mundus as well! :ahhh:

They cut down the lush forests of Cyrodiil and they introduced the concept of slavery to the Dunmer and Altmer, they even created the Adoring Fan.

He said three sentences to you...

"Stand up, there you go, you were dreaming. What's your name?"

"Well, not even last night's storm could wake you. I've heard them say we've reached morrowind. I'm sure they'll let us go.

"Quiet, here comes the guard."

I didn't know those three things made you go "Golly, he's amazing. :drool: "

I wish girls thought like that...

He was kind of mysterious, and you never did find out what happened to him. Well until the St. Jiub thing of course.

I am sure that wherever the Cliff Racers went, they have adapted nicely and evolved into an even more annoying form.

Like a three-headed Cliff Racer that has Resist Fire 100%, Resist Frost 100%, Resist Shock 100%, Resist Disease 100%, Resist Normal Weapons 100%, Resist Magic Weapons 100%, Resist Magic 100%, and Resist Poison 100%.

And I am sure that they will head on back to Tamriel, and learn to walk on the ground as well, and mimic the voices of Male Bosmers, and kill off every other form of life, and eat all of the food, and turn into the next crisis that threatens the land.

What have you done, Saint Jiub? Why, Akatosh, why?

Those Cliff Racers could've provided a steady supply of souls for the Ingenium.

Jiub drove the cliff racers to Akavir, and now they bother the monkeys. This is why we'll never see a game set in Akavir.

Morrowind's death was a prophesied event. You should have paid attention to the sermons, they point out what the engine of destruction will be.

No, only the whole of Vvardenfell was destroyed. Argonian invaders conquered the mainland.
