Love Letter from the 5th Era? C0DA? The Digitals?

Post » Sat Jul 14, 2012 4:44 pm

I just read the "Love letter from the 5th Era, the true purpose of Tamriel" on the Imperial library. Very confusing. Can someone explain? I can understand something about the Minestry of Truth falling down, and two great houses called Sul and Jaroon. You can read it here: http://www.imperial-library.info/content/loveletter-fifth-era-true-purpose-tamriel

You might want to read http://www.imperial-library.info/content/vehks-teaching to grasp some of the deeper concepts of what he's talking about.

Also, Landfall is not when the Ministry of Truth fell.

Landfall hasn't happened yet.

Basically, you know how people, in sweet metaphor, say that "love changes the universe?" Now you know how a lot of metaphors are literalized in Tamriel?

Everytime someone mentions the upcoming Landfall, I can't help but think of the scene towards the end of Return of the King where the ground voids beneath the feet of the evil and wicked armies of Mordor.

How did what kind of love change which aspects of the universe?

That, then, is the question.

My interpretation is the whole Vehkian love thing, if you love yourself and realize you are all, you get CHIM. Then can literally alter the universe as a lucid dreamer effects his dream.

It's more like when you walk in on your parents making skin music for the first time, or maybe when you witness something horrible that makes you lose faith in the human race. Except it happens to the world instead of you.

Skin music? Please explain.

I'm only kidding. That's interesting. I remember reading somewhere that Mr. Kirkbride alluded to the Void Nights possibly being involved in the Landfall. Can you shed some light on that?

Nope. I can't. The Scrolls are written in Akaviri and Yiddish, and I know very little of either.

I managed to make out a mental image of Nirn personified as a crying child, screaming "I am NOT adopted!" That's about it.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.
