Well, I didn't see that coming. My body mind is ready for more. Patience was never one of my virtues. :P

And I have to say, the art is beautiful. Hecke, the entire thing is.

The anticipation, it tingles.

We need to start a drinking game.

Wow. Beautiful art.

I also really enjoyed reading something with a bit more traditional narrative writing. As much as I love the Loveletter, the Lessons, and such, its nice to see MK writing in diverse ways.

Not sure if joking or serious, but can we please not have that conversation again, here?

Maybe start a thread about canon in TES if you're actually serious about this.

The Prophet is a Chimer/kwama worker... a kwama ascended!

Beautiful art, nice text. I love it. :-)

First random thoughts :

So Two Suns light the way to Salvation. And Twin Lamps light the way to Freedom...

Also, is the New Faith related to Nilichi's faith? Could that Prophet be a transformed Man-of-Ge?

Not only is that last bit new to me, I also seem to have forgotten about there being two suns.

Now let me make sure I have this straight:

Spoiler

What looks like some kind of construct just comepletely and utterly [censored] our [censored] up, right?

Finally a reason for those to exist.

Ballin'

EDIT: In any case, the speech bubble is coming from the top. So it depends on how you interpret the "no." Is it him stating the fact that even the mighty fist of Numidium can't stop him or his message, or is it him giving a final "no" before his death and the ruin of all?

I guess we'll find out in a few months. The fact that it's a simple font ending in a period actually makes me think it may be the former.

Ah! Nice 'Douglas Adams' moment at the end!

As much as you feel like it. Make up your fantasy, unless you want someone to make it to you. Passive, cooperative and author, those are the stages.

Fantastic.

Nah, Numidium can talk. Or its pilot can talk. I wonder who's set it loose this time?

This suddenly makes a lot more sense, which is less, which is neither. What are you even up to, silly Numididumb?

This is what I thought as well. If it were coming from the Prophet, wouldn't it be lower given Numi just tried to squash them? IDK.

It looks like Numidium squashed the Prophet. Is that how we were meant to interpret that?

Also, I'm getting a very Muad'dib / God Emperor (worm + man) vibe from this piece. It looks like the prophet could be a Dunmer who became part of a symbiotic relationship with http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2511/3994249843_0c18b4a5e3_z.jpg (replace the grub with his head).

Also, I love Minttu's art! Been following him for a while now on dA. A truly talented artist with a penchant for TES.

Or maybe an evolved Kwama. I love the idea of Kwamas holding the keys of the Dunmer's salvation.

Clearly a robot leg - probably Numidium's - but first I thought it was a worm pulling him back down.

Yeah, like http://core-rpg.ru/_ph/336/454251390.jpg. Except the queen chose a worker to integrate with a Chimer, so she could warn their civilization. idk

It reminded me of http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/prophet21-3.jpg&imgrefurl=http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2012/01/19/prophet-21-review/&h=953&w=1240&sz=271&tbnid=31rypQpTsYOXLM:&tbnh=92&tbnw=120&zoom=1&usg=__dgVGxKUNxiRVilv94kNzp0FMT3c=&docid=GFKd1gZKUWLTrM&sa=X&ei=LyyNUpvkLLDgsATU2YHQDg&ved=0CDEQ9QEwAw, but way cooler because its Tamriel.

I'm speechless. Just awesome.

:tops:

So this.

I am now even more excited. My head will explode soon. Good times!

Edit: But does this now mean Numidium = Grumpy Cat? Don't hit me!!!
