As opposed to, y'know, just writing the canon of the next 2000 years to make them look like bona fide and legit gods?

Careful with the real-world tie-ins, muthsera.

And remember, Vivic wrote the sermons for his people. Not fiction, but from the mind of a mortal become god who (perhaps by the time of the writings) had become weary of god-hood. They're confession, teaching, reflection, condemnation...the Letters are amazing.

Divayth Fyr, dead? You must be smoking the crazy pills.

I was there, I saw it with my own eyes, the cliff racers can testify to it.

The magma swelled, the oceans boiled, waves of earth and molten lava swarmed towards the Zafirbel Bay. City after yurt fell until it was upon the doorstep of the grand plant that is Tel Fyr. The elder mage watched with peace as the infernal eruption neared his home.. and then it stopped, for the mage had opened his eyes. No spelled was uttered, not a wrist was flicked, twas the sheer beauty of his aura which stopped short the RaGada gods of soot, the color red and seismic waves (for only the Raga have such silly gods). "A pimpmer longer-lived than gods, tis not within our loins to raise ourselves against such a one."

To this day all of Vvardenfell lies in waste save for the island oasis of Tel Fyr which even the very volcanic earth dared not disrupt for fear of the Psijic's rage, for afterall, if the Psijic can dissipate whole islands, what would they have done to spirits of this land should it disturb their meditation?

As for the dwarf, I only quote the masters, 'even gods dislike the absolute.'

Alt of a creepy-ass transient from the RP forums, I'm guessing. If it was the actual Lore dude at Bethesda you'd expect a few more posts in his background, not to mention a bit better grammar and writing structure.
