Whats the real thing behind the Nerevar?

Post » Mon Feb 07, 2011 5:55 am

The tales tell many Different things behind the True Nerevarine..But what really happened to him..?


Did he really make a journey to Akavir and never returned?Or did he get killed at red mountain by the House indoril for his beliefs? and what he was trying to do?



There are so many different things behind the Nerevarine. The ashland tribes believe he was married to Almalexia but she soon Killed him in order to summon Azura..But..What really happened? i mainly focus on the first two..If he traveled to Akavir and never returned.Or if he was murdered at Red mountain. The third belief i know for a fact he was not killed by Almalexia just to summon Azura. But which really happened? i would like to know.

I don't know where the "killed by Almalexia to summon Azura" thing comes from.

But for the rest, Ashlanders and the Tribunal Temple believe Nerevar was married to Almalexia. I think she even aknowledges that in game dialogue. There are two versions about Nerevar's death: Ashlanders and Dissident Priests believe he was murdered by Almsivi (the trio of gods consisting of Almalexia, Sotha Sil and Vivec) because Nerevar was against the idea of becoming gods because they had swore to Azura that they would not do it. The Tribunal Temple, which has the official version generally accepted by in-game historians, claims Nerevar died from his wounds after going to war.

As for the Nerevarine, the prophesied re-incarnation of Nerevar years later, rumors in Oblivion claim he went to Akavir.

OHH so the original Nerevar does not exist anymore? there are two different ones? I thought nerevar and nerevarine were the same. just nerevar was a shorter version in saying nerevarine. Thanks. And..i wonder why the NEW nerevarine who was said to be a reincarnate of nerevar,i wonder why he went to Akavir and never returned..Perhaps in elder scrolls V you play as the Nerevarine from Morrowind only you create him however you want and you play in Akavir and you as Nerevarine have to complete some task there maybe.

I highly doubt that in TESV we'll play as the Nerevarine. The way I see it, the rumors of the Nerevarine going to Akavir was a way to make him dissappear from the game world.

I didn't go to no Akyveer. >:(

What happened to the Nerevarine is whatever you imagine happened to him. Maybe he/she travelled to Solstheim, but was killed by the Frost Giant, causing the player to get bored and stop playing? Maybe he/she went to Cyrodiil and was arrested for stealing a horse, then was busted out of prison by the Emperor and then stole another horse because he/she didn't realise it counted as theft and then joined the Thieve's Guild and saved the world later? Maybe he/she really did go to Akavir, because the player never played Morrowind and was introduced to the series by Oblivion?

Just like the hero of TESIV, The hero of TESIII can be and do whatever you want. :P

I think he's the same person, given that he'd reincarnate naturally anyway.

Well, they kinda had to have him leave for some other place, otherwise everybody would be asking the question of why he/she wasn't dealing with all the Daedra instead of the CoC.

As for the future of the Nerevarine, who knows? The simplest explanation would be that he dies in or on his way to Akavir, but that's boring and therefore wrong. Maybe he'll return as a military leader or spiritual being of some sort (I'd go with the latter because it would give you a reason to give the Nerevarine a body that might look different from the PC you played as).

Must've been one hell of a mod......

They had to say something about him since the Neravarine is ageless and Oblivion follows Morrowind so closely. Ultimately it is up to you what happened to you Neravarine and why (s)he wasn't fighting the Daedra. Hell, maybe in your version (s)he was. In the earlier games all of them took place in different eras so what happened to the previous hero was a non issue. As for Nerevar it is generally accepted in the community that Almsivi murdered him to become gods.

Oh yeah, well-hidden apparent fact: his remains were made into a bonewalker, which is a high honor, hence the skeletal depictions of him on Temple artwork.

Afraid I don't have the knowledge of the location of the source of this info.

I thought all the games, besides Redguard, all happened in the 3rd era. I just don't think anyone really cared what happened to the heroes of Arena and Daggerfall.

Yep, Arena was in 3E399, Daggerfall in 3E405, Morrowind in 3E427, and Oblivion in 3E433.

Although I will admit, I might have the years for Arena and Daggerfall wrong, it's late and I should be getting some sleep.

The Akavirir denizens meet with the Neverine when (s)he arrived but quickly killed him or her because (s)he said "Nice to meet you you damn dirty MONKEYS" and then they celebrated with a new invasion of Tamriel. Trust me its coming.

Damn! I thought I had maintained gender ambiguity throughout! I had the whole he/she thing going at the beginning but then I just sort of forgot about it! D'oh! :facepalm:

:drool: , I hope you are right... but such invasion will no doubt add more Nerevarine related question and bring even more attention to those that are asked already.

Hey, that IS an interesting idea... *goes to write a Morrowind-Oblivion fan fic :P *

I got an teori on where our great Tes 3 hero was during Oblivion :P

As most of us know, Neravarine is a pretty powerfull demi-god. I am guessing the reason Morrowind was bombared by gates was because it was a key object to kill Neravarine. I guess Neravarine could have slayed the physical manifest of Mehrunes Dagon if it had come close enogh. I guess Neravarine went to a semi-isolated place to draw away as many gates as possible and attempt to find a way to close the barrier.
Or more like stopping the hardcoe overflow of hostile deadra.

I figure that the Nerevarine went to Akavir out of curiousity, as an explorer. It seems unlikely to me that Akavir would remain isolated all these centuries; in real life there would have been traders, explorers, and missionaries sailing there long ago. I know that there was an Imperial expedition there, and that a Tsaesci ruled the Empire for a while, but that was a long time back.

According to the site, Arena began in 3E389 and Battlespire took place sometime between 3E389 and 3E399.
And as you said Daggerfall begins in 3E405 and it seems that it ended in 3E417, Morrowind began in 3E427, as you said and ends in Circa 3E430 where Tribunal and Bloodmoon also happen. And Oblivion begins and ends(?) in 3E433. Looking back, it seems Redguard happened in 2E864

The Nereverine clearly achieved CHIM.

He then went to Moonshadow to party with Azura and convinced her to kidnap Vivec and stick in Oblivion with the dwarves.

It was Bethesda saying "You want to go to Akavir? There, eat your heart out. We're NOT GOING ANIME."
