Lukar remembered her eyes. She was sick, but not afraid. Who was this "He" who was coming if the Camoran Usurper was dead?
i already told you, i believe he refers to Mankar, not Haymon. hence the usurper being dead doesnt matter at all. a different posibility is that she was refering to Haymon: the Camoran Usurper died after she said the "he is coming," she may have been referring to him but, since she cant see the future, gotten it wrong (not very likely, but still a possibility). she could very well be a seer without Dagon's help though or just be predicting the future blindly (Mankar's father is Haymon, the Camorans already have strong ties to Dagon, it makes sence that mankar will turn out bad), though i dont think its likely. besides, i am not aware of the Daedra being able to get up inside someone womb and taint them evil. the only way i can see Dagon being connected to Mankar from an early is through upbringing, as we know that the Camorans had ties with Dagon. Anyhow, it never says that there is anyone controlling her, much less that it is Dagon. you are basing your assumption not on the text but on your knowledge of the Oblivion MQ.
...what? your claim is that Mankar was tied to Dagon, not his mom, so he would have to be inside her to be tied to him. i dont get how thats "????? sweet," unless it was Dagon who knocked her up in the first place, in which case that is a whole different ball game entirely. well have to call Kikaimegami to fill us in on that. At any rate, Dagoth Ur and the Daedra are totally different entities with totally different powers. again, i reapeat, it is never implied, much less stated, that Kaalys and/or Mankar is being controlled/telepathed by anyone at the time of the birth. i would be much more inclined to believe this inference if it was supported by something other then your interpretation of one world.
:spotted owl:
I have read the important threads. important information tends to get preserved or re-told anyhow, most of what was lost is meaningless drivel like this we are doing here. i suggest you stop arguing a point that has very little (if any) support and get back to the topic at hand, which is if ocato is a secret ayleid
Actually LN that was your claim. I responded ... sweet ... to your idea - I assumed that you were implying a cosy relationship - were you not? Now my idea was that telepathy was likely and viable in the circumstances. Do you believe that Dagon would have to stick his head into the mother's womb to communicate telepathically?
So Dagoth Ur and Dagon are totally different entities? My, what a revelation. But then since mind control etc are fairly basic spells ... and The Tribunal too claimed to communicate Telepathically ... and Azura as well - or didn't you play Morrowind? Please come up with some better excuses.
Truth is that if I said the earth is a planet circling the star the English speaking peoples of the world call Sol you would look for a way to deny that, and if anyone else turned up in support of you you would then claim I had said the opposite. We have all read your thread on til - and it has been posted on another website as Giskard said he would do. You know, the one where you and your pals get together and ask for assistance - given the purpose of the thread which you yourself make abundantly clear in the second page Ithink? It seems that you are gathered there to diss others and arrange to have a go at them, troll-baiting, flame baiting, and flaming those you do not like on ESF? You have brought yourselves into disrepute.

Mankar Camoran was Dagon's pawn since before his birth - read The Refugees (a nice little story that, and comprehensible) so there is no knowing just what he thought - and so I would not trust what he says either But read on ...
The world you are looking for is predesignated. Mankar was predesignated to become Dagons Pawn and her mother was having prophetic visions of it. Nothing however in the refugees indicates that Dagon personally had anything to do with that.
that's an interesting word, predesignated. It could be a sensitivity on the part of the mother to that sort of 'momentum' - and though I appreciate your suggestion it's not quite what I had in mind previously. Foreshadowed is not quite the meaning either but I used that word with qualifier because it has a certain tone?
However, since you have suggested it, and there are many ways to skin a cat, then the force of a predesignation by a being as brutal (and possibly desperate) as Dagon has shown himself to be could indeed have communicated to the mother and been used to propell her headlong along the path that brings Mankar to the Mythic Dawn. I do not feel that the mother is otherwise portrayed as a psychically 'gifted' individual.
However I do feel that Dagon would still have concentrated that force in the baby - Mankar because Mankar is the true conduit of that force and the intended receptacle. Yes, it could be that Dagon is influencing her in that way. Hence my feeling is that his relatonship with Mankar has to be altogether more intimate than with the mother - necessarily so.
VickyD: he is secretly an ayliad, there is no documentation that bluntly states that his parents were altimer, and his skin is golden, I know you say that this is because of the OB dressup doll styl of making your charcter, but the DEV's hand crafted evry NPC and why would they make on Altimer gold and none of the other ones look remotly close to him. It is stated that Ayliads looked like Altimer but were more tan... so, well. Why can't Occato be an Ayliad? There is no evidence for or against, so evrything any of us say is pure speculation and can't be proven wrong or right.
It is possible that Occato was a throwback - or that he had all sorts of mixes in his ancient lineage. However all i have read about The Ayleids recently suggests that either they hid out in the forests (and then you would have to show where and even explain why they were not discovered) or they blended into the base population. Certainly the fact that the Ayleids do not show as a distinct race may be telling given that it's all about a 'supposed' group of Ayleids called the Mythic Dawn. Well unless Haymon Camoran was Ayleid even the Mythic Dawn leader was not Ayleid.
Bung up links to pics of Mankar and other Mythic Dawn members here if you like - that would be relevant.
Thing is if the Mythic dawn had no Ayleid membership it is likely that the whole Ayleid connection is a total fraud an dMythic Dawn was a bunch of loony cultists determined to play at being something they had no real knowledge of.
In that light it would be ironic and very satisfying if Occato was a real Ayelied who opposed them full-heartedly because he knew them for fakes and (devils advocate to counter own earlier argument) they were bringing the hidden remnants of his people into disrepute. Also that might explain something of his character and manner that various players clearly have reacted to = a hidden agenda. But in that case maybe not an agenda that is intended to harm the Empire?
Good luck with your 'quest' and don't let the so and sos get you down.
