Damn it, just when you think you've got to the bottom of the nonsense-barrel.

This thread has actually been helpful in understanding Kirkbridese.


A lore-non-buff's attempt:

CHIM- psuedo-religious nonsense about achieving enlightenment about one's place in the universe / justification for Vivec speaking in riddles
Mnemoli- crazy star woman
Enantiomorph- more psuedo-religious bullcrap / Murderous divine musical chairs
Paleonumerology- a branch of science of which the practitioners babble incoherently about obscure things in Tamrielic history and phsyics because of Dragon Break stuff.
Star Orphans- little [NUMMIT]s who couldn't take an aedric joke; wimpy scared gods
Chrome Device- dwarves after instrumentality (Chrome Device is Brass-Walks right?)
Prolix Tower- spoke in the wheel
The Endeavour- psuedo religious nonsense from Vehk's second aperture/ achieving CHIM (wrong on all accounts aren't I?)
Sun Bird- Birds that are spaceships that are actually birds that are actually sunlight depending on Kirkbride's mood.
Nu-Mantia- WAT? / Talos
Nigularity- Got me.
Muatra- the mighty spear
Possipoints- points of conjecture
Landfall- land that falls, nuff said
Hahd- Where Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny live.
Ancestor moth- related to the cthulhu cultists...I mean moth priests, and thus the Elder Scrolls
Earthbones- dead god-corpses / laws of physics and nature
Kiai- WHATATATATATATA! / shouting of godhood?
Lunar Elsewhere- Moon Sugar?
Inverse Tiger- Dragon King?
Shor son of Shor- psuedo-religious nonsense...yet again/ cause and effect are irrelevant because of time warp shenanigans; the effect is the cause
Arden-Sul- prophet
Scarab- symbol of Shezzar
Dracochrysalis- Time cocoons of the altmer
Hurling Disc- Vivec trolling
1008 Cyrodiilic Weapons of Rapture- no clue
Pomegranate Banquet- divine gay orgy
Responsible Architecture- no clue
Talos of Atmora - Hjalti Early-beard. Tiber Septim. Etc.
