My mind needs some refreshing

Post » Thu Jun 24, 2010 2:26 am

I have three questions to start with, but I suppose I will post more as my mod progresses.

1. Nirn was created by the gods when Lorkhan tricked them. Lorkhan was cast down to Nirn. Is he "dead"? Is Nirn a plane in Oblivion that is "neutral", that is to say, a plane not governed by a single god? Can Lorkhan still affect Nirn?
2. What really happened at Red Mountain? Did the Tribunal kill Lord Nerevar?
3. Does the Tribunal believe in the Lorkhan creation myth? (would be strange if they didn't...)

1. Lorkhan is indeed a dead god, but seeing as he's a god, that's not saying much. In a less cryptic sense, Lorkhan just doesn't hold his original corporeal form, whatever that may be, though he DOES appear in avatars and myth-echos. Pelinal and the Underking(s) are examples of these.

2. Yeah. The Tribunal killed him, if not just Vehk. VIVEC didn't, but Vehk the mortal did.

3. I don't think Ayem and Seht ever expressed this, but I don't see why not. http://www.imperial-library.info/obscure_text/vehk_teaching.shtml, though I don't think he favors a SPECIFIC myth, though he does know that Lorkhan created it.

That is an odd question you asked though: not too many deny he created it.... The only ones I know that never EXPLICITLY stated he created it http://www.imperial-library.info/obscure_text/tsaesci.shtml, but them b*tches are scary. And homotheistic. And just bad as [censored].

All right, thanks. Now I can keep writing :)
