This occurred to me while I was in another thread. Also sorry if you've seen a lot of me debating these topics lately, I just got all these crazy theories racing around my head like rabid hamsters that must be explained.


-To achieve CHIM and be awesome like that, you have to do the whole "I'm a dream but I'm still me so GTFO" thing

-Lorkhan loves Humans.

-Shor is like Mini-Lorkhan or something like that.

-Shor has Sovngarde.

-When a Nord dies in battle (And which Nord wouldn't?) They go to Sovngarde.

-Instead of having your soul stripped and recycled, you retain your identity in Sovngarde (Hence why we see people there who know who they are and such).

This makes me think that perhaps in addition to having a party paradise for all eternity, Sovngarde serves as a place for Nords to get CHIM'd up and ascend! Although they may be dead, could it still be possible? We don't really know much about the details about CHIM, just how it happens, never saw anywhere that one had to still be alive, just that they had to recognize that they are themselves, but part of a dream. Some say that only the very powerful and knowledgeable such as Vivec could achieve this, but wouldn't an eternity in Sovngarde give you some time to study up, contemplate existence and all that jazz? And wouldn't this be what Lorkhan/Shor would want for his awesome Nord buddies?
