K'Sharra prophecy : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

what religion does the K'Sharra prophecy come from and what god/gods do they worship? Im guessing its related to kajhjiit religion and not imperial beliefs but cant find any info on the subject.

I imagine it's really more of a local/fringe prophecy relating to a particular group of Khajjit, in this I could be wrong however.

I'm certainly no expert, but from what I remember, it's basically just a tiny following (just that village), and the "religion" was founded by Ri'Bassa's grandfather. His grandfather prophesied that the end of the world would come after three signs; I'm not even certain I would consider that a religion, because it's just a prophecy about the end times, and does not include an object of worship/appeasemant, such as a god. That's about it, but there could be more; I'm just going off what I remember Ri'Bassa telling me, and he may not have told the whole story. They could very well worship their own god, or a Khajiit god, or one of the Divines-- I have no idea.

Yeah i thought it might have just been a random un-developed idea for oblivion. But was just curious to as whether or not their was more lore about it or not. Thanks anyway!

The Khajit do recognise Sheogorath in their creation myths, and refer to him as the "Skooma Cat", but its probably not relevant to the K'Sharra prophesy.

Khajiit peagan believes, no more no less. (and a bit of a silly believe at that).
Anyway did not the prophercy prophess the end (or doom) of the world or something like that? In which case their would be a snag no? No world ended (expect Ri'Bassa's world did

I took care of that one personally :evil:

)

Well, the peaceful microcosm of Border Watch is shattered, so in a way it was true. remember that prohpecy is never exact. Look at any Greek Myth. Thay always misenterpret the prophecies and BOOM, one dead hero. Or villain.

you are correct, but this false time of the Prophecy has been of the doing of the deadric prince Sheogorath, he got one man to do this little and very sick joke to please him and they really believed it really was the end of the world.
