Rim Men in Revolt, the Living Story

Post » Thu Jun 14, 2012 12:37 am

Whatever her degree of compliance, Irileth opened the door for Mephala. King Balgruuf was murdered by his children, and his right-hand took the throne.

King Torijj was blasted to ash. Some saw the king's own sword pulled against him. Whatever the story, the serpent bit his heart, and Wulfharth Greywind settled south of Helgen.

Emperor Mede was murdered by his secret police. Never mind the "Dark Brotherhood," they're smoke. The Emperor was murdered by his general and secret police.

Ysgramor the Returned broke the shores of Winterhold.

The Eye of Magnus navigated Atmoran pilots between kalpa.

Galmar Stone-Fist is a ghost, imbedded during Ulfric's indoctrination. The man in bear skins is the hinting kenning of his dead father.

King Olaf One-Eye was the Dragonborn's favorite bedtime story.

I want to know if you're getting at something in particular or not, but some of this stuff I hope may become canon.

After all, Jarl Irileth the Ashskinned sounds pretty sweet.

Are you implying that everything in Skyrim that we did will be attributed to someone ala Tiber Septim's mythology?

Is Ulfric mantling Wulfharth?

And finally, how would Ysgramor cause the Great Collapse thousands of years after he appeared in the Return?

Not Irileth, the agitated Nord retainer. Its in the missing branch of Whispering Door. [Nord] takes Balgruuf's place, and he's a more aggressive king than Balgruuf.

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Glory_of_the_Dead to Skyrim.

Elisif channels Potema, north cousin of Paravania. The Wolf-Queen are tear-wife of old Skyrim, mother of two sons in blood feud.

We shouldn't forget Ulfric's previous life atop Hrothgar: "He is not the chosen one. ... As the Grey Wind goes to find this boy, he hears the Greybeards' warning: remember the color of betrayal, King Wulfharth."

So it appears. Wulfharth fled in ash, Ulfric fled in a storm, the flight of a gray cloak, and he fought at White-Gold and the Markarth temple mount.

Now, if there were Ysgrimskalds of the prose and poetic, scattered around Skyrim saying this crap, we wouldn't be flying whites, in our struggle against boredom. Everyone could appreciate the invitation, to interpret these archetypes how they want. Even with dinosaur people and Australian doonmur in wolf skin.

With Alkeno to translate a bit... this is actually some pretty clever stuff.

My Talosology is a bit lacking, but I thought that Ulfric had more in common with Hjalti than Wulfharth. Storm[article of clothing] and all. Maybe Ulfric is Wulfharth and PC is Hjalti? Because of the quest with the ghost and stuff who calls you "Hjalti".

Are you trying to say that Elisif is going to pull a Potema and become Imperatrix Tamrielicis? Or that she was literally involved in her summoning. Because the former would be awesome and no one would see it coming.

I still don't see the Ysgramor/Winterhold connection, other than that Winterhold may have been the First Capital of Skyrim during Ysgarmor's reign.

And to the last blurb, yes it would be awesome, but we'd have more "dafuq?"s than "AWESOMESAUCE!"s, myself included (I'm a simple and dumb man; [VEHK] me if you want).

And the interpreter interpreted a just fine interpretation!
