Question about corprus

Post » Wed Oct 24, 2012 10:24 pm

Ok playing thru morrowind and finally encountered ash npc and ascended sleepers. now i have faced corprus beasts but they all seem to be "cyrodill" people. So onto my questions ive been pondering.

Is corprus a blessing and curse depending on what race u are? Like its supposed to be a blessing for the dunmer and a curse to the invaders hence the "cyrodills"? As in its a blessing because due to the dialogue it seems that dagoth urs plan was to everyone sharing the same mind and in a way, all the dunmer acheive CHIM? As in they gain his knowledge tha tnothing is real but connected to him they keep thier shape somewhat and are not lost? The supposed part would be that dagoth ur due to his best intentions is not strong enough to even himself out to everyone and only focuses on the higher rank, hence the lower ranks are conflicted with hsi silence in the face of the knowledge? The curse to all other races besides dunmer would mean that thye lose thier whole 'will" and become monsters that are simi 'pets" or weapons to use against the enemys of dagoth but do not enjoy the "benefits" and wildly mutate due lack of control or guidance?


Am i missing the mark completely?

You've basically got it. Anybody's who's not a Dunmer gets turned into a corprus beast; presumably so do Dunmer who reject Ur. If you're a Dunmer and you accept Ur, you become an Ash beast and work your way up to Ascended Sleeper.

While this may not answer all of your questions, it is at least partially helpful.
