What we know about shouts in relation to et'ada and shorlork

Post » Mon May 07, 2012 9:17 am

So Arngeir tells us that to dragons, fighting is done with the Voice, and as such is seen as debate- there is no distinction.

I thought this over, and was very pleased with how this idea fits in to the opposing viewpoints of lorkhan. The draconic/merrish viewpoint is of a trickster, a shrewd debater, while the birds see shor as a great warrior chief. Of course this is so- to the dragons, a warrior is a shrewd debater! The dragon-associated aldmer remember him as such, while the nords, who draw a distinction, see him as a warrior.

It does tie in nicely. Also, compare the image evoked by the word 'http://untreaty.un.org/cod/avl/images/ha/vcdr/03-l.jpg' to the http://www.imperial-library.info/content/shor-son-shor described as one.

'Pelinal cared for none of this and killed any who would speak god-logic, except for fair Perrif, who he said, "enacts, rather than talks, as language without exertion is dead witness."'

Not a philosopher, but a doer. I like his style.
