To Baladas Demnevanni, Master Wizard.
I apologize for the forms of this message, I am not used to Memospore Discussions. I decided to contact you, hoping tou would agree to answer to Fast Eddie's (your Mouth after Releths's fate) nephew.
This branch of the family is often forgotten, the love of Edd's brother for a Redguard was a negligible point raised against him during his trial, compared to his support to the mage Guild and the help given to the Blades
I'm asking for you help, Master, because I've just been promoted apprentice neo-paleonumerologist, and have started with a research on the status of Crusader and it links with mythopoetic history. The Cross symbol, important for the Crusader, is seldom met; in fact, I have found it only once, in the 13th Sermon of Vivec.
It wasn't easy to get a copy of this book, and even if the Cross as "integration of the worth of mortals at the expense of their spirits." which would make one able to see the "Triune house", the "Hous of troubles" and the "Beginning Place" makes numerologicaly sense, it doesn't explain the origin of the Crusader, Mage-Warriors vowed to a religious cause.
it is only possible to understand their origins by coupling this sentence with another "'The sword is the cross and ALMSIVI is the Triune house around it." ; The Cross would represent a Sword, and it is by their figh that Crusaders would hold the triune House and fight off the House of Troubles.
It is undoubted that their is a lot of Dunmer crusader, but there are some in Cyrodil, Skyrim, High-Rock and even here in Hammerfell. This explanation, showing the crusader as only coming from the Tribunal Temple, is funded on very friable basis.
Here, I met an Altmer, who introduced himself as a Maruhkati (I doubt of this, the first order didn't stay long, and the second was so ignored during the interregnum that it stayed solely in history books, as a common scholar order)
I submit my theories to his judgement, as it is fitting for an apprentice meeting a greater scholar, and after some seconds of reflexions, he asked me if I had studied the link with the "Crux".
I started my search, and discovered that there were Mysteries I wouldn't have ever imagined. Two points attracted my attention ; some unsigned pamphlets show the Dwemer as having tried to create a "Crux of Transcendace", and Tiber Septim link with Numidium via the Mantella Crux. I almost had my explanations ; Nordic Crusaders would have gained this name during their implication in the First Council War, and this tradiition would have been taken again by the Followers of Talos from Atmora, until the fabrication of the Mantella. The title of Crusader wouldn't be claimed by a lot of Nordics, but by Cyrodiils, and by some Bretons and Redguards. It would have been take by warriors and soldiers vowing their sword and spirit to Talos, and with time would have been given to all the Divine worshiper, and to our saint warriors fighting for our Gods (which would have widened the common mistake of speaking of "Redguard Divines")
Now, I come to the goal of this letter ; as you see, these two theories perfectly complement each other, one explaning the numerologic, the other the historic side of the Crusader. However, I don't understand the link between the "Crux" and the "Cross" showed by the Maruhkati. Master, you are the only person I know who has enough knowledge about Dwemers to answer this.
I hope I haven't bothered you with this letter, and if this is the case, please accept my deepest apologies.
Sincerly, Yours
Zirho, apprentice neo-paleonumérologist.

To Baladas Demnevanni, Master Wizard.
Serjo Telvanni Baladas Demnevanni, I don't know if you remember me - a young and impetuous apprentice paleonumerologist, who sent you a letter about trivial topics a year ago (I understand it, the link between the Crux and the Cross is easily made by the Hanged Man)
I am old, now, and it is only, I must admit, thanks to prohibited pratice in Hammerfell that i am not returned to the pattern of possibility.
I have seen again, about thirty years ago, the Maruhkati I spoke to you, and he said he wasn't surprised that you never answered, because a Dram simulacrum would have been sent on you. Even if the Foresters are effective, a great wizard like you would easily fool them, especially when he is specialized in fields like yours.
After the problems caused by the Crux of Transcendance, you understand that I became interested in the Mantella. This kind of work is forbidden in the Empire, and I must same I am not really reassured - yesterday, for example, a Breton, who was introduced as a member of the Ancestor Moth, triggered my alarms, and I am wondering if he wasn't in fact a member of WG-T.
I will soon know, as i cannot stay here any more, it seems there is to many people pursuing me. My son, who follows the Way of Divad, ends his novitiate in this blessed day, and will be able to take my place in the palace of my ancestors.
The mantella turns to be a fascinating object of study, especially with the conjecture Zurin-Wulf (I think it has not received a categorical answer yet)
The theory I a am studying involves a Talosish Dragon Breaking triggered for a period of several centuries before the ascention of the Ninth. Indeed, the documents available contradict about the first apparition of the Underking, in paricular about his involvment in the invasion of Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal.
My strongest argument is Cyrodil Jungle, mentionned only in some texts ; even if it is explained since years that it is Talos who removed this jungle, his motivations stay unclear ; this jungle was hated, but wasn't th Love of talos more for those who would have been condemned if he took his place at the center, while leaving this jungle?
If it has been ther, how the different armies of Tamriel would have managed to march effectively against the White Gold-Tower and stop the planemeld?
I spoke of this theory with Risus, a colleague and friend, who confirmed that totally erasing the jungle (leaving nearly no forest) would have really helped to the offenders. However, I wasn't able to ask him for help, because he was preparing an expedition to Atmora in order to determine whether a change in height of the continents, and therefore climates, took place during the first era or Merethique.
I think that my theory is relatively strong, but I must be sure of it before leaving : the Maruhkati spoke to me of a place where I would have datas without having to send constantly people to find documents or lost artifacts - it would make me too detectable.
I hate travel, and this is why I contact you. Before leaving for my first (but short) travel, I must be sure of one point in my theories. If the Dragon Breaking existed and extended until the 6th century of the Second Era, a mnemolitic eruption of Vvardenfell should be noticeable. I would be eternally grateful if you could send me ebony and glass samples from this period (an eruption is, I believe, recorded).
Eternally, Yours,
Master Zirho, neo-paleonumérologiste.

To the esteemed Baladas Demnevanni, Master Wizard.
UNDERSTAND THAT SCHICKISIT THE LOREMASTER STILL TRAVELS
May the HoonDing watch over me on this day of Hunding. They found where I am hiding, and they will come soon. My sons ... murdered. Now, I only have my research, supported by the samples you sent me, which fit perfectly with my anolysis.
IN A PALE ECHO OF KNOWLEDGE
Where I am, I got my hands on some very old documents. Oruk. Now I know! The dwarves that were not dwarves in their bodies but in their souls before the walking star.
Amob I learn even on my people, whose contemt toward monsters has been taken for respect for a brave ennemy. Oruk Tall Papa who would be Magnus and Lorkhan who would be Sep. They are ignorant.
A fixed time, a single reality, but the numbers remain.
MANTLED, INCARNATED, SUBGRADIATED, ERASED FROM THE PATTERN OF POSSIBILITY, BRUISED, SUNDERED.
Illusion magic is not all. Snakes have been erased from the documents, transformed into transcription error. But here, no. Here I know everything and so I am. The image is not the being, because it is neither God nor Man nor Egg. Oruk
I'm sure they'll arrive soon. They will use Dawn magic. Unless it is the Mnemolic. Unless it happens later, and by that I mean much, much later
There are thousands of Daedra, and everyone can pretend to be a Prince, but a Prince who sees equal has not seen the Void. Amob. For to be drowned or not to be drowned, that is the question. But it does not necessarily has to occure, because without power, how to breathe once drowned? And love is under will only, and there is no love there.
INTERMITTENT RAVES ENOUGH
For thou dost know, O Frandar dear,
This realm dismantled was
Of the Elk himself; and now reigns here
A very, very--pajock.
But it is still better than a swan, oruK Because it is a means of transport that moves the masses, but is far from massaging ... the ribs
There is no veil between me and knowledge. The Red Tower burst, leaving the blood of the Snake flow , but it is thanks to the Mnemoli that it was possible, as I begin to see it with my waking eyes, and all else fades.
TO ANSWER ALL THE THINGS
The Power of the Mighty dries up, when the cold harbor fishes with its dark anchors. Amob. That are not dark anchors. Because yes, I know everything. Oruk. There are no immortal bears , but what about the snakes? Cities appear like mushrooms, disappearing and reappearing elsewhere, as if they had always been there, but there is two, one echoing the other. They see each other and do not dare to speak, separated by millennia. This decree of the first era imposes ritual suicide to Dunmer who refuse to be tolerant towards foreigners trampling the holy land. This one, dated from the same year, says the opposite. Who is right? Boma Kuro.
THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artificial Zero-Sum confirmed.
The Erasure from the Pattern of Possibily is possible.
Acceleration of the inevitable process. A Towers War risks to be soon initiated.

The letters are http://forum.wiwiland.net/index.php?/topic/54101-effacement-du-schema-des-possibilites/in French. There is (today) two other sets I am translating, more centered about Talos, and about the Necromancer.
