See I actually get the impression that the Dunmer think the Aedra
aren't good. They think they're bad.
Boethia and St. Veltoh told them that the Aedra were liars. I don't think they were just lying about Lorkhan's test. I think they are trying to interfere with Lorkhan's purpose, which is the Endeavor.
The Endeavor is a method of achieving the Tower and then what to do after.....
What is the purpose of the Psijic Endeavor?
To transcend mortal boundaries set in place by immortal rulers. At its simplest, the state of chim provides an escape from all known laws of the divine worlds and the corruptions of the black sea of Oblivion.
They are the lent bones of the Aedra, the Eight gift-limbs to SITHISIT, the wet earth of the new star our home. Outside them is the Aurbis, and not within. Like most things inexplicable, it is a circle. Circles are confused serpents, striking and striking and never given leave to bite. The Aedra would have you believe different, but they were givers before liars. Lies have turned them into biters. Their teeth are the proselytizers; to convert is to place oneself in the mouth of falsehood; even to propitiate is to be swallowed
How they fear the Truth, who came to Power by clawing it to tatters! But they failed, of course, for the lovers of the Truth are many; though we know not who spited the Dragon by saving it, they who preserved these texts have embodied the heart of our Manifesto (and, indeed, may have helped bring it about.) And now the Temple has found it appropriate to publish its contents, that all of Tamri-el might see the Truth with eyes unveiled – for it is in the Truth that we are free from the mythopoeic enslavement of Talos and his co-conspirators, free from all Opression!
Some seem to believe that the Aedra are keeping us trapped. That they are preventing us from succeeding in the Endeavor.
And from Mankar Camoran, who is crazy but still got to read Mysetium Xaraxes, which comes from the Oghma Infinium which is the secret knowledge of the universe. So maybe he kinda knows something:
The Bones of the Wheel need their flesh, and that is mankind's heirloom....Oath-breakers beware, for their traitors run through the nymic-paths, runner dogs of prolix gods. The Dragon's Blood have hidden ascension in six-thousands years of aetherial labyrinth, which is Arena, which they yet deny is Oathbound. By the Book, take this key and pierce the divine shell that encloses the mantle-takers!
I'm thinking the divine shell that prevents us from taking the mantle is the Aedra. They use souls as flesh for their Bones. They are liars and they are preventing us from reaching CHIM and Amaranth.
