So ******* difficult to understand!

Post » Sun Jan 13, 2013 10:52 am

Hi everybody! I'm new on this forum, and I really wanted to post here. Well, the thing is that I have a problem. I've been researching TES lore, and I love it, but one thing keeps buging me... I [censored]ing can't understand any of the obscure texts or in game books written by Michael Kirkbride. I find it difficult and I cannot get references to other things in lore or even understand whichever metaphor he uses.

If there is somebody with tips in order to understand his, frankly, brilliant texts, please tell me.

Thanks in advance

What specifically are you having trouble with? The Sermons and their Vehkspeak? More obscure things?

In-game texts can be pretty hard to follow. The Imperial Library website has a lot of great articles that tie everything together. Also try viewing the whole timeline.

Library: http://www.imperial-library.info/
Timeline: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline

Do note, Elder Scrolls incorporates some pretty deep philosophy that's hard to follow in general.

Well I understood that the Leaper Demon King is really Magnus as the leaper demons are in truth the Magna Ge and Magnus is the king because he left the greatest hole to go to Aetherius. I have problems with lessons of vivec, vehk's teachings, and anything that uses overly complex language. I also understand CHIM pretty well

The Imperial Library is my main site for researching lore.

Ironic. Architect doomed to destroy. I found other people that think like me on this matter and I like the idea because it brings some sense to Mankar Camoran speech in Oblivion, because as Magnus, Mehrunes Dagon had a hand in creating mundus
