TES Brevity Challenge!

HQ: Howdy, Vehk-aroos! So, I was ridin' on ol' camino mythi-cal frum Akaloosa, high'up in the saddle on ma' ol' Snow-Whale, Zebidah. Say howdy, Zebidah!

Zebidah: OwwwwwOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

HQ: So as I was-a-saying, I was riding high-up in the saddle, thinkin' hard 'bout makin' ma' ol' brain-pan inna' a purdy little inverse mirror of the cosmic egg, when along the wayside what should dear-ol'-me-I-spy but a darned Tsaesci-rattler gobblin' down a dreadful mess more o' 10-drake grammar than what the poor son'mabeech could unhinge his jaw 'round. Ol' kook woulda' choked if I hadnna' come long to give him a good whallop on his scaly derrière .

Now that got me a' thinkin' again, this time though, 'bout the impor-tance of brevity.

Good, honest, Men-folk and Mer-folk and, yup even Beast-folk, gots to be able to speak they skullsworth without havin' to resort to no high-fallutin' pol-ly-s'labik tooty frutti m'goodness-rudy Myth O' Babble. They jus' end up soundin' like dern fools higher than ol' Magnus on the Elsewhere-spice.

So here's ma' challenge to you forum-slickers: Dee-scribe all them there dern 'high kon-sep' termino-what'sums, like what that fancy-britches Elk scratches out on sycamore bark when he gets t'strippin' off his antler-velvet befur matin' season, with five words 'er less.

Lemme' getcha' started:

CHIM

Mnemoli

Enantiomorph

Paleonumerology

Star Orphans

Chrome Device

Prolix Tower

The Endeavour

Sun Bird

Nu-Mantia

Nigularity

Muatra

I've succeeded then.

But because I like you: Whilst riding on my snow-whale one fine day, I came across a Tsaesci who had bitten off more words than he could quite literally chew (ba-DUMTP-ssssssh!). This made me repent my decadent, prolix ways in favor of a simpler, more virtuous, more brevitous way of life.

CHIM: Triangle Man

Mnemoli: Blue Screen of Death

Enantiomorph: You've got King in my Rebel! You've got Rebel in my King!

Paleonumerology: 2ith of Morning Star is a valid date.

Star Orphans: A horrible, horrible spin-off of the original Battlestar Galactica. Thanks a lot for reminding me.

Chrome Device: Gone to Destroy Tamriel. Back in Three Eras.

Prolix Tower: The Imperials sure love their lists.

The Endeavour: Veloth totally did not get lost.

Sun Bird: Captain, Elfnazis de-cloaking off our starboard bow!

CHIM - some day M'eyap will catch that little bird. Hum-num-num-num!

Mnemoli - far star.

Enantiomorph - just another word for enantiobouros.

Paleonumerology - ooh, M'eyap loves that subject!

Star Orphans - poor fellows. M'eyap pities them.

Chrome Device - very beautiful thing, yes. But inedible, alas.

Prolix Tower - project of old times. It is a secret.

The Endeavour - yes, M'eyap is attempting to catch that little bird, as he already said.

Sun Bird - another inedible thing, although it is a bird.

Nu-Mantia - New Tower, of course. Just as Ada-Mantia is a God Tower.

Nilgularity - concept used in old times technology.

Muatra - spear used to cast out Dwemeri.



Possipoints - that sort of things do not exist.

Landfall - M'eyap hopes that is we never going to see.

Hahd - nonsense.

Ancestor moth - you would call them Digitals in the future.

Earthbones - we Fadomai's children are grateful to them.

Kiai - rawr!

Lunar Elsewhere - IT IS A SECRET!

Inverse Tiger - Stone-Leap.

Shor son of Shor - misunderstanding of HUM-mans giving birth to themselves.

Arden-Sul - tale told by Sheggorath.

Scarab - desert bug. Don't listen if someone is telling you something else.

Dracochrysalis - Time Box.

Hurling Disc - Magrus, eye of heaven.

1008 Cyrodiilic Weapons of Rapture - another mistake. It is about rupture, not rapture. Alkosh Rupture.

Pomegranate Banquet - M'eyap thinks that it is a tasty thing. But Vehk is right.

Responsible Architecture - mistake caused by irregularities of Dreamsleeve. There is one type of architecture Boethiah is responsible for. It is the Velothi's one.

Talos of Atmora - truth or lie, you decide.

Chim -- var var var. These are the most wise words.
Talos of Atmora -- Dro'Septim of the Nords.
Ancestor Moths -- They make many sleeves, and they lead men to guard very valuable stone Sebilla. M'basha wants that stone in his pocket.
Arden-Sul -- Sul is for the crazy people, before he was against the crazy people. Sheograth is behind this and many other crazy things.
