Lorkhan the unified

So... here goes as TWM proposed http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=758104&st=60. Say it'd happen..

What would that mean exactly? Do we know what happens to the project when the originator realizes himself? What does it mean for the Enantiomorph?

I once awoke from a dream and found that I had scrawled "CHIM is going up. NU-Mantia is going down."

I never, ever forgot it.

I feel foolish, for having missed that very interesting thought of TWM's in the previous thread. Although, to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I understand it properly.

For what it's worth, here are my thoughts.

We're contemplating what's likely to happen in TES V, and I think that it may be Act V: the conclusion to the story of the end of the Third Era and perhaps the beginning of the Fourth Era. We've reason to suspect that it will center in the province of Skyrim, where the Missing God is most revered.

So, I predict that Greybeards will summon up the ghost of Shor and rouse an army to reclaim his heart.

Following the events of TES IV: Oblivion, I've come to see NIRN as founded upon the imprisonment of the Missing God. Tiamat defeated Marduk and created the world from his body. So, if the Missing God returns, and is restored, it sounds like the end of the world.

However, I expect that it will prove not to be so. Somehow, I suspect that a unified Lorkhan will find that NIRN no longer needs him, that mortals can hold the world together themselves. There is that hint, in the Aldugaga, that something does come from nothing, that the substance of reality has increased, that when the accounts are all settled, there's a balance left.

But, that may be my biases, as I'm of the opinion that the whole is never equal to the sum of its parts.
