Menmoli:

???

I have no clue what I am supposed to gather from that article, other then "Mnemoli is the personification of memory" which doesn't actually fit into the context of my question about wierd prefixes for Nord names and a strange blue star that only appears when the crux of time is being tampered with in this here fictional world. Which is exactly what seems to be happening in the 'Five Hundred Companions".

Enlightenment?

Enlightenment?

Think about it this way: what is memory without time? Also, what is time without memory?

In the context of a creation shaped by myth, I think you'll get some interesting answers. Do I fully understand the implications? No. But it's fun to think about.

Sure. Given MK's penchant for using strange and tricky words, wouldn't a play on words work with a strange star that only appears when time is out of flux? Like if time is disturbed an anomaly occurs, thus the name for an occurance where a foreign star appears could be reasoned to be an "(-M)"nem-oli, or anomaly in the otherwise normal sky?

I should probably mention that it's a long stretch, but it has always been my reasoning that Mnemoli is a visible anomaly to time being distorted. Thus I wanted to know if thats actually the case, after all these years. And this seemed like the appropriate topic for my question. :foodndrink:

I do not think the word Mnemoli has any intended relation to the word "Anomaly." I do not think that beginning with the same grapheme is a strong connection between "Mnemoli" and those three names, either.

How many paragraphs did you count? Nice to see you by the way.

Crazy text. Good stuff. Like the ancient sagas from my regions.

Where are you from, if I might ask?

Sweden. I was thinking about the old nordic sagas, snorre sturlasson- style

Perhaps your old Nordic legends are based on those of Skyrim rather than the other way around. The Godhead dreams in many ways, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teO8xFW1-CI

In a reality where time is an illusion, and everything is one, I, that could be true.

Thank you the most interesting link!

Take from that what you will. I see a lot of parallels between that fiction and what the writers of the Elder Scrolls are getting at on a metaphysical level. Others may disagree.

Opinion noted. Though once again we are talking about a "Dawn" story where anything is possible. My question remains, and is not outside the realm of possibility.




All but the last two, which would put it somewhere around 650+ names, maybe even more. Although I didn't count stuff like "Vrage and his 18 consorts-of-deep-snow-throating", since the 18 were never actually named (just an example). Needless to say an onslaught was coming for Aldmer skin, by way of Atmora. Nice to be seen...though if Clavicus pops up and asks "Wanna see a magic trick?" I might get unnerved. bliviongate:
