Whose up for another nuking?

Or are they still around?

Aw, I thought we were onto something. :laugh:

These are spirits made from bits of the immortal polarity. The first of these was Akatosh the Time Dragon, whose formation made it easier for other spirits to structure themselves. Gods and demons form and reform and procreate.

At first the Aurbis was turbulent and confusing, as Anuiel's ruminations went on without design. Aspects of the Aurbis then asked for a schedule to follow or procedures whereby they might enjoy themselves a little longer outside of perfect knowledge. So that he might know himself this way, too, Anu created Auriel, the soul of his soul. Auriel bled through the Aurbis as a new force, called time. With time, various aspects of the Aurbis began to understand their natures and limitations. They took names, like Magnus or Mara or Xen. One of these, Lorkhan, was more of a limit than a nature, so he could never last long anywhere.

Ruptga was so big that he was able to place the stars in the sky so that weaker spirits might find their way easier. This practice became so easy for the spirits that it became a place, called the Far Shores, a time of waiting until the next skin.
"Ruptga was able to sire many children through the cycles and so he became known as the Tall Papa. He continued to place stars to map out the void for others, but after so many cycles there were almost too many spirits to help out. He made himself a helper from the detritus of past skins and this was Sep, or Second Serpent.

They all precede the development of others, making the way easier for those who come after.
But Ruptga doesn't have any association with time that I can see.

Tall Papa also thought Mundus was a bad idea from the beginning, and didn't take part in creating it. That was my biggest concern when I said Tall Papa is Magnus, as Magnus did take part, but escaped.

I think Satakal is the Aurbis.
Satak is the snake, and I think the self-eating of Satak is an uber gradient of the kalpa, atleast it would seem since it involves Satak and Akel rather than their representative spirits Lorkhan and Aka.

I don't think we're giving the Redguards enough credit. We can not just assume that the pantheons of the Altmer, Cyrodiils, and Nords are any more correct than that of the Redguards (Even if the lore of other pantheons coincide against Redguard belief). So what I mean to say here is, perhaps the Redguards are right, and that Magnus did not take part in creation at all.

MK told us a page go we were wrong about Magnus = Tall Papa.

If they're at all related, Tall Papa could simply a be a fusion of both Aka and Magnus, Magnus taking on a separate form in other pantheons as the aspect of Aka that moves on without the lesser spirits.

MK technically only confirmed that Tall Papa is not distinctly Magnus.

Tall Papa as Magnus?

Syrsly?

Think raga. Then think of the various ways the Sun would affect the Weather/Eyeball/BodyClock/Agriculture/TheShineOfASingleDewdropBeforeAnImportantDuel.

Just how many gods would you have to govern acknowledge those?

If the sun even does affect stuff the same on Nirn.

Well, could we draw a line from Tall Papa to Anu? The Altmeri Anu mimics his actions, after all. And the Anuad (Ayleid creation myth?) speaks of the blood of Anu becoming the stars.

Also, the more I read into the myths we have available to us, the more I think that Mikhael Karkuxor is wrong, a propagandist, and an idiot.

Why is that? Any examples?

Well, his bias towards the Imperial Pantheon is pretty clear, and I think that he is pretty reckless in drawing parallels to them. I don't know about any specific examples. At least, not at the moment.
