The Five Hundred Mighty Companions or Thereabouts of Ysgramo

It can still be false.

It's not false. PM a moderator, admin or Lady Nerevar if you want proof. I am just letting you know :)

I know right. The Elder Scrolls has no solids to base anything on. At least not when you listen to some of the people on the Lore forums. I guess Ayleids might have never existed now. It's kind of annoying. But MK shoots most of these contradictions out himself. MK is a contradiction. He's juicy like a liquid yet hard like a solid.

I do wonder if about half the stuff he puts out isn't just to mess with the lore crazies and which he tacks on within in-game sources as an afterthought.

And I think he watches far too much anime.

I disagree on both counts, but will talk on the second. I think what you're seeing is that a lot of anime uses western religions and mythologies as inspiration without the cultural context to have them make sense. This leads to some cool stuff sometimes but also is very strange. MK takes the western stuff, and a lot of eastern stuff, and puts it in a different cultural context and we get this and the lessons of Vivec and stuff.

I don't recall anyone saying Ayleids never existed. In this thread all I see is something released before Skyrim in order to make the lore folks more excited for the Companions, which is based on this lore. Even if this list is fairly new, as is Skyrim, apparently a lot of this stuff was being made up way back when. Really I don't know where any of this post comes from.

He's talking about my "What happened?" topic, where I say Ayleids never existed, in the Tamriel after Alessia's apotheosis. They were written out of the universe, within the universe.

Erasure from existence=/=none existence, though. Like vehk the mortal or Alduin the Akatosh. He still "existed" in that actions he took in that state are still causing reactions. Ayleids, even if Alessia was like '[censored] you guys" and erased them, still left ruins and of course without Ayleid slavemasters Alessia could not have risen to an archetype. So therefore if she did that she created a loop of timey-wimey balls for [censored] and giggles.

There's going to be one world where the Auleid existed and another where they didn't, brought into one. I believe I repeated this.

Bit of a necro, but I have made a fantastic discovery: putting this through a http://bensonofjohn.co.uk/poetry/tools/travesty.php is a fantastic way to create Nordic-sounding names.
Some examples:

Ysgramor’s Hearken the Alehouse Giant, and his Tear-Wife of a hiccup (a measure now known only to all Hell.)
Elhnowhen the Snappily-Clad
Mehga the Under that Notice
Baruhk whose Beard Became A Mountain
Njrethaal known only to Skyrim ill
Ysgramor’s Tallows Goat
Bjorga-mawr the Driftsman
Uru the Sack
Hgnaak the leader of Meat
Fhethel their Kyne-touched
Njnen who wrote on Numbers
Hoagbellows the Tongue
Fhethel the student
Frendlmegh Frendl the Reefsman
Khel Kehlersonal Clever who knew happened to Hearken-Born, and called his daughters Perrif and Njrethaalmaljar

Sounds pretty good, no?
