So they were the Marukhati Selective, or precursors to them?

EDIT: Is it just me or does anybody else half-suspect that Ta'oyb is one of MK's aliases?

Me. To hell with dragons. I can't wait for an Akavir sequel and I get to piss on all of them.

Yip. Guess the number of Selectives. And remember this: "...the deceit that call themselves the Aedra. Eight stars fell on Tamriel..."

I think you just don't know The Old Ye Bard well enough.

I don't believe I'm a facet of the Elk, no. It'd take a lot more walking-just-so for me to mantle the patron saint of these parts.

But then who was Konahrik? Mahruk himself? If they were Selectives, someone had to Select them.

Munaxlunmaar. snap snick flutter flick Finally slithered back into the skin you could never fully shed? And with your characteristic blunt subtlety and disgusting maw-manners. Go back to your epicene. Hear me, joorre, and know that this slavering creature before you is the Degeneracy of the dov, not the Glory. He would and will smash his words through your feeble hahdrimme just for the imprinted afterimage of his violence and the self-affirmation that implies. Mark his wrath, but heed him not.

As for you, Uncle... mey kruziik! There is now no hope for these mortals; why do you insist upon your relentless prodding and pruning? The umbilical wound-well is long since scabbed, Alduin's tarnished wings have been stricken, and joorre are now fit only for the glorification of their betters. Who now would follow the sea-steps of the Stormcrown?

I mean they were precursors. In other words, they were examples for the Selectives to mantle. Or were they another mirrors (Selectives were too?)? Maybe they were the "bad" sides of enantiomorphs with Selectives. And yes, in this case Konahrik could be the other side of Maruhk.
Excuse my terrible english. I think at this time it was really hard to understand me.

What is 'now', briinahqo? Strange words from a dovah. Tiid fey qeth! Ahrk vaat zu'u wahlan. You forget the krent vintaasos, as well, krent Aka sil se siiv joor; what of the dovahkiin? Some fragments yet remain, and they cannot but find each other; deztiid se denek. And for those few, perhaps, the ghost tides still wait to bear them hence to the emerald-iced shores.

But, joorre, you murmur amongst yourselves of other things; we bore you, perhaps? You do not wish the background of the thing before the thing itself? Kah unslaad se frul! Ysmaalithax will come or he will not; look to the Elk, if more direct summons you wish. And do not let the nahrot se briinahqo, the quick temper of the Thousand-Winged, deafen you to Munaxlunmaar; his is a sad, untold story, prodah krosis sindugahvon. The dovhahdrim at which you wonder and worry were but cusped when they fled, but he was interrupted at the UI-Ahraand itself, and sustained only at great cost; soskiinlun, the last heartwyrm of Alduin. That he grew to fulfill that role, to transcend that role, cannot be a surprise.

And yet more: the dovhahdrim? If tiidensosis they worked, it was only by their vintaasos virtue. Muz, sire Alduin? Again, kah unslaad se joorre! I answer you thus, in lieu of the Indissoluble, in the World-Eater’s six-syllabled soliloquy of old:

AKA KUL SE AKA!

DIEEE DRAGON!!!!111

Wtf is up with these gibbering dovah, with only 2 or 3 posts each? Someone ban these spammers.

It's not spam. The original poster summoned the dragons to talk about the dragon war. Now they're here, giving the background details.

One thing to remember about the Joorre, my little Ouroboros, is that they do not always speak to declare "I am." They also speak to declare "You are" and "You are not." Where the Dov discourse, the Joorre discuss. Small wonder why their words mean so little then.

I wish I knew what these old coots were talking about.

Is Feykromiin agreeing with Ald son of Ald, from stories like Shor son of Shor?

If your meaning that Ald would be elf, then i'm not seeing that, (i see the kalpa thing there however). Infact I get the opposite, that Dragons (discussed here) were and are Nords, Elves are but a victims in hands of invading Dragons. That munaxlunmaar-dragon even seemed to state that he destoryed Dwemer (of skyrim?)... But i'm drunk and not-the-brightest-tool-in-the-shed.

[EDIT]: What i mean is that the way i saw Shor son of Shor was that Alduin represented side of elves, while Shor was at humans side, and then the Awful Fight began again... In all this Dragon-talk i don't see much Elves playing in Alduin's side, i see only Dragon's (old-way nords) and Nords (new-way dragons) and Awful Fight between them ... However i need to make note that i have had more alcohol and haven't got more sober, infact my state has got worse.[/EDIT]

I'm mostly wondering this thing which Feykromiin said:


Who he? Akatosh? Or Munaxlunmaar? Or even Ysgramor himself?

AKA KUL SE AKA translates as Aka son of Aka. Ald son of Ald.

Of course, Aka also simply means dragon.

Edit: Point being, even if Shor son of Shor is wrong about the part where Alduin supports elves, he is Alduin (Akatosh) son of Alduin (Akatosh).

Note that the Nakhriin mask is (Aka-)tusked.

Don't don't DON'T TELL MY STORY! It's MY story, and I'LL TELL IT IF I'M GOING TO! FO NAX YOL! [A noxious, acidic blue-white spew like icy sludge sprays out from the dragon's slavering maw over the convocation, ruining not a few baby-butt(ered) complexions and exquisite specimens of scamp-skinned haute couture.] And I'm NOT going to tell it! So both you and miss Eternally-Effervesces-From-Her-Hindquarters need to just [censored] clap your traps before the mortals start Getting Ideas. Or I'll get to learn what fizzy feels like from the inside.

Anyway. Wuld se mey! I was talking about the interesting things, wasn't I, little grubs? Before my briinah and her uncle interrupted me. OH, yes, I was telling you how very much better it was in the taazokan, away from the UI-Ahraand and its liztiidaan that bit back, on my scales here, and whose itch I never quite... uraghagh. No. But here it was much, much better, once we'd sated ourselves finally on the properly ravaged and subjugated elf-holds, and especially once you grubs took it into your hypognathus little skulls to rebel.

Yes, it was a good war. I remember me well the long sultry nights, the skies hazed in dry-scarlet-black and the vintaasqo shimmering muted red through the clouds, sanguine with mortal blood above furrows of pulverized flesh; lying back on the battlefield, suffused with shout-shredded gore, wingtip to brotherly wingtip with my Ald and his Paar. And the frost-harrowed days, scourging blizzard-breath down from the roiling clouds, cold fit to crack the bones of the rebels in their very skins. The disgrace of Briinhul the Brawny; the Feast of Rannveig; the Marsh-wallow Grind; the Swallow of Gjukar, when Men called down the cloud-singers to their aid, and World-Eater met Whale.

And then the bittersweet betrayals; the whisper-gift of Paarthurnax's siren queen, and his turn in turn of weakest-willed dov. Claw to claw, then, and Voice to Voice, and both dov and dovhahdrim tasted the Breath of newly muscle-lunged men. Harsh and bitter the war, with the Hyoid howling through the throats of the wasabi-tongued joorre - but sweet, too, in its own way, for we had our vicious victories over the [censored]. Sweet, indeed, for how many can say that they have Known the Wind-Witch seventeen times spread-Eagled, screaming at the crest of her own crag?

I understand that at least. It's a shame that there wasn't more of a glimpse outside the Elder Scroll scene. It looked epic, even though it was just a small space.

On a very big sidenote, I think Dragonrend is a brilliant plot device. I'm surprised they didn't offer more exposition about it (actually, maybe not. There's not much exposition at all in this game :\). I've always kind of had this impression that oppressed or suffering peoples create the most moving or powerful ways of expressing themselves. This isn't meant to be racist, but I kind of think the Irish or African Americans, for example, are so good at music and expressing their emotions because their people experienced much suffering. Like if you meet the average Black or Irish person, they can sing their asses off. Even when it was only their ancestors who suffered, the tradition was so widespread it gets engrained in the culture through the centuries.

Now that said, this is kind of how I see Dragonrend. It's power borne out of suffering. And against dragons, the ultimate weapon. It's some deep sh*t really. I'm surprised they didn't explore this aspect of the Dragon War more. It's barely mentioned and you have to read more into it..

These aren't really Elder Scrolls dragons... They're cool, but Elder Scrolls dragons aren't mountains covered in foliage or filled with acid... Not complaining. I wouldn't mind epic dragons in TES.

You've totally lost me. Maybe I haven't read the thread enough. Foliage? Acid?

Hmph. The loud, angry dragon lost me when he called the Mother of Men a siren.

Edit: Forget this post.

Trillid's talking about Feykromiin and Munaxlunmaar. if you look at the avatar for Feykromiin he looks alittle...weedy and Munaxlunmaar mentions acid in his posts they both dont exactly conform to dragon types seen in Skyrim (though i'm not complaining)

Aaand apparently [censored] her seventeen times? Or am I miss-applying the non-consentual overtone here? That's one scary old crazy Dov.

Yeah, that part too.

I had skimmed over the last few sentences. Missed the [censored] part.
