Meaning of.... : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

What does "Nu-Mantia" mean? I know it is a person but it is used in the Mythic Dawn Commentaries Book One:

"Palace, hut, or cave, you have left all the fog worlds of conception behind. Nu-mantia! Liberty! Rejoice in the promise of paradise!"

I looked the word up on Imperial Library and all that came up was the Nu-Mantia, of the Sphinxmoth-Inquiry Tree. I then looked it up on a dictionary and all that came up was:

"a Celtiberian town (now Garray), near modern Soria in Spain on the upper Douro (Duero) River."

So does it actually have a meaning?

Edit:crap! Sorry! Nu-Hatta is the guy not Nu-Mantia

The siege of Numantia has been recorded by several Roman historians that admire the sense of freedom of the ancient Iberians and acknowledged their fighting skills against the Roman legions.

Yes but what does it mean in the context of the ES universe?

The context is not only in what you quoted, but in his post as well.

So Nu-Mantia is freedom or liberty?
Then the Nu-Mantia Intercept could be written as the Liberty Intercept?

Liberty from all things mortal, yes.

[Lull calls this a refutation of sorts, but the wise may know it as the first appearance of Nu-Mantia, which is Liberty. Rather, the road to Liberty.

Nu-Hatta, Nu-Mantia, Nu-midium, Nu-men.
Nu-minous? A-nu? New?

"Veloth describes the Psijic Endeavor as a process of glorious apotheosis, where time itself is bent inward and outward into 'a shape that is always new'." Vehk's Teachings

It's all very novel. Ha ha ha.

Cervantes wrote an alright play about it. It ended just like Masada.
