...time has again been shattered, but I fear not in the ways we have come to understand, if the breaking of linear time could ever be truly understood.

I suspect something more insidious at work. That it is merely a facade, an illusion of a break made possible by a new and powerful dark magic, and the experience of non-linear time is but a symptom used conveniently to explain away what sinister powers continue to perpetrate, under our very noses...

Within our very minds.

Yet who will show the courage or the strength to question openly? To challenge what is being done?

Knowing full well they will be condemned for it and more than likely, if history is any precedent, denied the necessary support that would allow them to avoid a purposeless martyrdom, where none are even aware of what foul secrets they died to protect...

Surely we have not all allowed this evil to consume us unchallenged? On the very cusp of immortality, with more possible than anytime before in our history, surely we are not so cowardly afraid?

Surely there are still those of influence in positions of power that would fight for righteousness and freedom, at a time when this new "magic" would threaten it's very survival, and that of us all?

We cannot all have been fooled, convinced it was necessary. We can't all have locked away our hearts, consenting to save ourselves or pretend that what we do to deny could possibly from what is now upon us.

Surely we are not so blind to not see what is happening...

This sounds like an introduction to a video game.

What has this to do with Skyrim? Moving to Lore.

Too much Skooma today??

I don't understand what you're talking about. Try using more made-up words.

I don't understand.

I hope this isn't another one of those 'Thalmors are out to destroy Nirn' thread.

The neo-Mantella has you!

I am suddenly quite fond of this forum!

Welcome to the lands of Enantiomorph and CHIM. Enjoy your stay.

A remnant of the Skyrim section of the forums, where junior high level vocabulary is considered "made-up words."

Truthfully, I am discovering this entire Universe again for the first time, and it is WONDERFUL, and really, quite beautiful.

No clue what you are talking about. However it reads like poetry; for that I'll give you credit.

I see a future work in planning by an as-yet undefined entity to “resurrect” something like the original Numidium, perhaps working in conjunction with a faction within the Psijic Order.

The “heart of the world” is seen to have grown cold. In an effort to rekindle that which is essential to order and fulfillment of the purpose of the mortal planes, this effort attempts a new and revolutionary abstraction of the concept of Mantella.

This secretive group ascend to Aetherius, and simultaneously station themselves at Masser and Secunda. There they perform a powerful invocation that manages to enshrine an “essence seed” within a conglomerate of fragments of the God body.

Rather than serve as a fully fledged Mantella, having not yet the true "spark" of the divine, they instead attempt to “impregnate” all inhabitants of Nirn with a shard of this entangled fragment seed, essentially imbuing the souls of all the world with the unrealized aspects of a Shezarrine.

They hope then to employ another renovation of an ancient Dwemer technology to surreptitiously “bleed” a small portion of this many-blossomed heart (after sufficient incubation) from each of those touched by the essence seed, in an effort not only to recreate a true Heart but also, to see it in turn imbued with the spirit of all people, so that it reflects the many and the many in turn express (at least to some extent) a reciprocal element of it, and Lorkhan, such that all experience a sort of shared understanding of the principles behind what they are attempting.

This direct intervention in the expression of souls is frowned upon by many within the Order still more aligned with Galerion's view of such as dangerous tampering and inherently evil, being against free will and honest attainment, however they remain the minority and it is largely agreed that circumstances call for unprecedented measures if the spirit of Nirn is to survive this "dark night" of nihilism and doubt.

However, this process somehow manages to leave the inhabitants of Nirn vulnerable to a penetrating corruption by other truly Daedric influences. This is tempered in a significant way by the spirit of Lorkhan himself upon the world, revitalized by the presence of his rematerialized essence and the inverse unprecedented darkening of the hearts of his “children” who now directly share it with him.

Sensing the purpose of his mortal experiment has begun to exceed it’s usefulness, he impresses upon his compatriot Aedra to assist this same magic sect along with an order of ascendant dragons, to reshape it in a way that radically extends the established longevity of species, among other more esoteric alterations to the basic template pattern.

There's a name for it, already.

Nu Cyrod

We get it, we get it, killing Alduin and doing the time warp again was a bad idea.

*gets lightning rod out and zaps Haute with it*

Back foul beast! go back to the depths of sermon fourteen! oh and tell Bob from accounting that he'll be next.

Can someone please explain this in standard English?

FOOL I AM MADE OF LIGHTNING!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZ!

Interesting, but from where are you getting this?

What would be the purpose of ascending to Aetherius?

Ahem, fixed, it's pretty obvious you are made of white lightning. Like the rest of the vehMK fanbois around here.

Aam bovul krasaar. What problem can be fixed with a simple modification. I shall cleanse this injustice with Alduin's piss!

*throws it on Haute*

Your hate is unjustified; your stereotypes don't make sense.

Nothing makes sense. Justification is in itself judged by internal evidence. Stereotypes are both right and wrong.

Although I've got to say that in a serious manner, the lore forum can be a bit like that one jungle book song sometimes.

Sense is a function of context; Stereotype is, at best, gross caricature of real life; To hell with evidence, this is about honor.

Then I duel you in a round of fisticuffs, good sire.

Just throwing my 2 cents. Dragon Break, Dwemer, Heart or a dead god, and Lusty Argonian maids. I think that sums what ever he said up (even though I didn't read it, will do now)
