What do you think sithis looks like?

Post » Tue Feb 01, 2011 11:24 am

As we all know sithis is neither divine or daedric and the dark brotherhood never really give a direct discription of his apperance. So what i wanna know is what does he look like. Does he look like an actual person, or does he not look like and actual person and intestead is just a giant void of nothingness or does he look like the giant statue in deepscorn hallow in the shrine of sithis http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/3508/700889-sithis_super.jpg

"He" looks like the color black. Or white. Or gray. Or...nothing at all. Sithis IS nothing. The Sithis worshipped by the Dark Brotherhood doesn't exist, and they are too small a group to create him with the power of their belief.

I think he looks like the creepy burger king guy. Instead of a burger he offers you a dagger. Which i may add is not as tasty as the burger.

Astion, the guy who made Hogithum Hall, made a picture of Anu once. I do not know what became of it, but he wasn't some cool dude with wings, which was good. I don't know if there was a Sithis though.

The picture took images we might find in the deep cosmos and put them together in interesting ways. Do the same for Sithis, if you wish.

he probalbly can change his apperance at will.

The dark brotherhood describes him as the void I think.

Think of nothing, then take away everything from it, give it apothesis and worship, and then take that AND the cheese away, and I believe you'll have the look of Sithis.

Oh, and it's moving at a thousand speeds in a thousand separate directions in 8 dimensions as well.

Have you seen Chuck Norris? You've seen Sithis.

Really though, he is blackness, he is nothingness, he is the void.

Do you know what gravity looks like? You can feel gravity as it constantly pulls you to the ground, but you can't see it. That's my answer to what Sithis looks like.

You cannot see a force, but you can feel it. Sithis is 0, the IS-NOT, chaos, begnning and end, and change. Let me provide you what the Monomyth has to offer in the insight of Sithis
All Tamrielic religions begin the same. Man or mer, things begin with the dualism of Anu and His Other. These twin forces go by many names: Anu-Padomay, Anuiel-Sithis, Ak-El, Satak-Akel, Is-Is Not. Anuiel is the Everlasting Ineffable Light, Sithis is the Corrupting Inexpressible Action. In the middle is the Gray Maybe ('Nirn' in the Ehlnofex).

In most cultures, Anuiel is honored for his part of the interplay that creates the world, but Sithis is held in highest esteem because he's the one that causes the reaction. Sithis is thus the Original Creator, an entity who intrinsically causes change without design. Even the hist acknowledge this being.

Anuiel is also perceived of as Order, opposed to the Sithis-Chaos. Perhaps it is easier for mortals to envision change than perfect stasis, for often Anuiel is relegated to the mythic background of Sithis' fancies. In Yokudan folk-tales, which are among the most vivid in the world, Satak is only referred to a handful of times, as "the Hum"; he is a force so prevalent as to be not really there at all.


Again, you can't see a force. Though, if you were to "look" at the two halves side by side, you may see no difference between the two. And he is not the void, that's a bad assumption on the nature of Sithis. Sithis does not svck you in like a black hole. Sithis is not negative. Sithis is 0, while the counter part, Anuiel, is infinity. When you put the two together, you get variables, which formed the grey maybe

And anyone who quotes the Dark Brotherhood must consider something. You are talking with a bunch of psycho and sociopaths, and each give a completely different idea of Sithis. They are wrong to think he's some dark, goth, evil god who demands souls. In fact, Sithis probably doesn't even give a rat's ass if you kill someone or not. Just like how gravity doesn't care if you cause someone to fall on their butt.

im pretty sure with his discriptions and the statue in the shrine of sithis he looks like death or the grim reaper. I mean hell it would be nice if they did that, and he doez like to collect peoples souls. Someone should try to make a fan fic about it along with a drawing, so we know what life was like for sithis before he started the Dark Brotherhood. How he get his souls then?

Sithis is not a guy with scythe, he's not a guy at all. That was my point. The statue in the shrine to Sithis has nothing to do with the DB itself, anyway. That, and it might be a statue of Lorkhan. He's got a hole in its chest even a missing face (for missing god) to boot. And if you know he looks like that, a statue from a tiny mod, then why ask?

still i think he's something a bit more than an empty void or else no one would know what he was at all. Plus when you get your blessing in the shrine of sithis it has to come from somewhere.

It comes from Mephala, of course.

Perhaps he can take on many forms or maybe he really doesn't have much of an appearance at all...

To quote Lucien Lachance, "Sithis is the Void"
He is the empty space that lies on the other side of the "house of cards" that is the game universe. He is what existed before mundus. Sight is a very terrestrial trait, and Sithis is anything but terrestrial. He has no form. He is the lack of form. He is... [slithery voice that echoes through the depths of your soul in a way that brings every cold, empty, and lifeless feeling that you have ever felt in life back at once like a serpentine devil rotting it's way through your blood and mind]

As was said, you can't give him any features. He is not sentient, he is not daedra, he is not aedra. He simply is. He is vacuum, he is not a god. He might be worshipped, but that doesn't mean he ever answers what they say (Carefully avoids relating to real world religion)

He is not particularly a force, energy, or matter. He is simply the other side of possibilty. You can't have a world exist completely in Anu or Padomay, so it is in the middle. He was there first, along with Anuiel, who made all creation possible. I am not completely certain of his/its relationship with Padomay, but I know that he would not give a blessing, or acknowledge followers, because he essentially does not exist. Gravity is a good metaphor, but Sithis cannot really be felt.


EDIT: Very very few things said by the Dark Brotherhood concerning Sithis can be trusted. At least they still remember Sithis is the void. Seems like if you give them a couple hundred years and they'll be worshipping him like a daedra. Despicable, and almost everyone hates them for their piousness.

I remember reading here once that, if we go by Lachance's idea of Sithis, then it should look like a fridge with the door closed.

The DB Sithis is too corny, boring and wrong for me to give much thought to what it looks like, or what they're actually worshipping. Metaphysics Sithis, on the other hand, can't really be "seen", in the same way the concept of an opposite answer, time, space, gravity, etc can't be "seen".

Have you read anything I wrote? That's Sithis. Anything that tells you different is a crazed psycho and sociopath from an assassins guild.

Indeed, Sithis is not to be regarded in the same way as a diety. We know what he is only because we have named one side of creation. In fact, the creation myth is not entirely reliable as well, but trusted enough to believe that Sithis does exist in Tes. Or not really existing, but a kind of chaos void. Take a bunch of words like darkness, chaos, black, and void and you get the general concensus on Sithis.

He is not anything, he is one side of an extreme that forms the gray middle that is inhabitable by aedra and eventually Nirn. He is to one side of the Aurbis, for a middle cannot exist without an extreme. I can't figure out how the people of Nirn came up with that though :shrug:
